Chapter 47: The 1990s Teacher Supporting Character Who Despises the Poor and Favors the Rich (24)

Lin Yan was actually a small business owner? And he drove a car?

Aunt Fang and Fang Wei couldn’t believe their eyes. Didn’t Fang Yuwei marry a poor loser? Even the bride price was just the standard amount. For years, she had been Aunt Fang’s favorite target of ridicule.

What use was it for a girl to be pretty? What was the point of sending her to school?

In the end, she was just a money-losing daughter. Good thing she had three sons!

When Aunt Fang was younger, she always wanted to compete with Fang Yuwei’s mother. Especially after Fang Yuwei married Lin Yan, she felt like she had completely won.

And now they were telling her Lin Yan was a small business owner.

He had money now.

Aunt Fang couldn’t take such a huge blow and collapsed straight to the ground.

“Mom, Mom—”

Fang Wei hurriedly took Aunt Fang to the hospital.

When Aunt Fang woke up, Fang Wei sat beside her with a haggard face and lifeless eyes.

“Did you find out?” Aunt Fang’s first question was whether Lin Yan had really become rich.

Fang Wei covered his face and said hoarsely, “Lin Yan really did become rich. He opened a big supermarket and a milk tea shop in town. They also own several milk tea stores. There are also a few large supermarkets in the city. They’re expanding.”

He had gone to see Fang Yuwei, but she wouldn’t even see him. She didn’t care about his money at all.

Only now did Fang Wei understand. When they had taken the one hundred thousand to offer Fang Yuwei, that look in her eyes was as if she was hearing a joke.

Fang Yuwei never intended to settle this with money.

“She’s trying to destroy us, isn’t she?” Aunt Fang gasped, almost unable to breathe, and with difficulty asked, “What about your dad?”

Fang Wei was about to break down, his face full of despair: “Dad was found out for embezzlement. A task force has already been formed to investigate. They said the embezzled money must be returned, and there will also be a fine. He might even go to jail. Mom, what should we do?”

Aunt Fang froze, her breathing growing more labored.

Fang Wei continued cursing: “Fang Yuwei is not a good person. I heard that a hired aunt embezzled thousands of yuan from the store, and she sent that person to jail. She is really capable of doing this.”

Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Fang rolled her eyes in fear and wet herself on the spot.

If she had known Fang Yuwei was like this, she would never have dared to make such a fuss.

The case involving Uncle Fang and the others progressed quickly. The local villagers actively reported and provided evidence. The few of them were unbelievably bold, and as the investigators followed the clues, they uncovered everything about them.

Their audacity left the task force stunned.

Uncle Fang, a mere village team leader, had embezzled more than 1.5 million yuan.

Not only did they embezzle land compensation, but they also privately pocketed proceeds from village land leasing and sales. Furthermore, they misappropriated and fraudulently claimed various subsidies, secretly sold village land and split the profits, and used their positions to extort construction teams working in the village.

Fang Yuwei filed a lawsuit, taking Aunt Fang to court for withholding her betrothal money and demanded the original 8,000 yuan be returned in full.

After discussing everything with her lawyer, Fang Yuwei came downstairs and saw Lin Yan waiting to pick her up.

As soon as she got in the car, Lin Yan handed her a hat and gently said, “The sun is really strong today. Wear this to block it.”

“Yes, it’s so sunny and I’m so thirsty. Why didn’t you bring me water!” she said with a pout, half playfully glaring at him, letting him put the hat on her.

After putting the hat on her, Lin Yan took a cup of watermelon juice from the back seat, inserted a straw, and handed it to her with a smile: “Just freshly made. Not cold.”

Fang Yuwei looked at the watermelon juice handed to her, the corners of her lips curved upward uncontrollably. She took it and drank two sips, her cheeks puffed up.

She drank another sip, turned sideways, and with both hands held the juice out to him: “Have a sip. It’s really sweet.”

Those bright, watery eyes staring at him made Lin Yan’s heart itch. Instead of drinking the juice, he reached out, cupped the back of her head, pulled her closer, and kissed her deeply.

He lingered for a long while, gently sucking on her lips.

When he finally let go, his voice was slightly hoarse and filled with reluctance: “It really is sweet.”

“You’re so annoying.” Fang Yuwei blushed, holding the juice and sitting back in her seat, looking forward. “I want to eat stuffed chicken stomach today. I have to eat it today!”

He didn’t say much and simply agreed: “Okay.”

Lin Yan drove her around for a while before finally finding a restaurant that served stuffed chicken stomach. After getting out of the car, he took the initiative to hold her hand and led her inside.

Fang Yuwei laughed and struggled a bit, trying to pull her hand away.

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and held it tighter as if indulging her but not letting go.

“What are you doing? Holding hands in public like this?” Fang Yuwei reminded him seriously. “What a bad impression it gives.”

“It’s fine.”

“It’s not fine. I’m a person with a proper identity!” She was an excellent public school teacher!

Lin Yan held her hand as they walked into the restaurant, going along with her words: “I’ll take responsibility for you.”

“This isn’t something you can solve by taking responsibility.”

“Then I’ll take responsibility a few more times.”

A waitress came over with the menu and happened to hear this exchange. Looking at how Lin Yan tightly held her hand, she began observing them carefully. She had seen all kinds of customers and immediately got the idea.

These two had come out of a private car.

Looking at Lin Yan again—tall, upright, and handsome. Would someone like him need to mess with another person’s wife?

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

What she thought didn’t matter. The waitress maintained a polite smile and asked courteously, “Sir, how many people?”

“Two.”

“Please come this way. What would you like to eat?”

“Stuffed chicken stomach.”

……

Lin Yan and Fang Yuwei walked to a table for two. He was still holding her hand and didn’t let her sit opposite him but instead pulled her to sit next to him.

“What are you doing?” Fang Yuwei glanced at him.

“I asked Sister Li to buy a bag for you.” Lin Yan had now entered the path of using handbags to appease his wife.

Sister Li was abroad and worked in purchasing. She was very reliable.

Fang Yuwei: “Do you think one bag is enough to make me happy? I’m not lacking in bags!”

She had just said last night she didn’t want anything. She had three classes in the morning. He was always so over-the-top, never gentle, and only thought to stick close and make up after doing something bad the day before.

This pig-headed man was always so infuriating!

“Then I’ll buy a few more.” Lin Yan said seriously.

“I don’t want your bags. Do you think everything can be solved with a handbag? I’m not that kind of person.”

Just as Fang Yuwei finished saying this, a waitress came over with tea and she fell silent.

Lin Yan said, “It’s okay. Even if it can’t solve anything, I’ll still give them. Do you want Chanel or LV?”

He now knew many handbag brands and cosmetic brands—just for coaxing his wife.

Fang Yuwei turned her head to look at him.

“Then we’ll buy both.” Lin Yan figured that couldn’t go wrong.

The waitress’s hand trembled slightly as she poured the tea, her eyes darting around.

As soon as she left, she couldn’t wait to share the gossip with her coworkers: “Did you see that couple sitting by the window? Their relationship’s definitely improper. The woman seems to be already taken, and the guy hasn’t won her over yet and is splurging—talking about buying Chanel right away.”

Several other waitresses glanced over, full of envy: “So rich. The woman’s quite pretty, really fair-skinned.”

“The guy looks alright too. Why would he mess around with someone else’s wife?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, holding hands like he doesn’t want to let go. Men really can’t be judged by appearances.”

……

Lin Yan had always been accommodating toward Fang Yuwei, especially when coaxing her.

He was thoughtful in everything, always centered around her—serving her favorite dishes, eating the ones she didn’t like, speaking in a gentle tone, pampering her like he was holding her in the palm of his hand.

The few waitstaff nearby were feeling sour at the sight.

The older head waitress also noticed and reminded them in a stiff tone, “Men are all like this. Before they get the girl, they’ll act like they want to give you the world. Once they do, it’s a different story. After marriage and kids, it’s another story altogether.”

After speaking, she looked toward Fang Yuwei’s direction. “This kind of behavior, you only see it in couples who are dating or in extramarital affairs.”

The younger waitresses looked at the head waitress with admiration for her insightful perspective. Based on what the couple had just said, it was either an affair or someone trying to steal another’s partner.

“Get back to work. Don’t gossip about the customers.” The head waitress left after throwing out this sentence.

Because the pair were so good-looking and acting so affectionate, the waitstaff couldn’t help but keep glancing in that direction.

“Don’t eat this one.”

“I don’t want this either. I want a chicken wing.”

“Lin Yan, you’re being so annoying. I’m kind of mad at you today. I’m breaking up with you for half a day.”

While eating, Fang Yuwei mumbled a few sentences softly and glared at the person next to her. Lin Yan kept a gentle smile on his face, ignoring her little complaints.

After they finished eating, Lin Yan got up with the bill and still didn’t forget to reach for Fang Yuwei’s hand.

She hid her hand behind her back. Lin Yan stared at her for two seconds, then took a big stride over and took her hand himself, leading her out.

“Hmph——” Fang Yuwei shook her hand a couple of times, acting a bit spoiled.

Lin Yan said, “I’m sleepy. Let’s go home for a nap.”

In such a public place, Fang Yuwei held back a little and spoke softly, but her actions weren’t overly restrained.

Hearing this, the waitstaff immediately assumed the man was taking her to a hotel.

Heh.

They’re all the same.

At the front desk, Lin Yan was paying the bill while Fang Yuwei stood beside him waiting. Suddenly, a couple walked by. The short-haired woman warmly greeted, “Teacher Fang?”

Any parent whose child had been taught by Fang Yuwei had a strong impression of her.

This teacher was very responsible and well-liked by the kids. At home, their child talked most about Teacher Fang.

Fang Yuwei turned around and recognized the person. “Xingxing’s mom.”

The waitress who took Lin Yan’s payment overheard their conversation.

So this woman was a teacher.

Xingxing’s mom chatted with Fang Yuwei for a few moments and then saw Lin Yan turn around. She smiled even more brightly. “Is this your boyfriend?”

That height had to be at least one eighty-five, right?

So handsome.

The waitress answered in her heart on behalf of Fang Yuwei: No. The man was trying to steal someone else’s wife and was about to succeed.

She glanced sideways at Fang Yuwei, wanting to see how she would respond.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yuwei suddenly burst out laughing. “He’s my husband.”

“Your husband? You’re married so young?” Xingxing’s mom looked a little embarrassed.

Fang Yuwei only started teaching her son this semester and she hadn’t known.

“I’m not that young. My sons are already in primary school,” Fang Yuwei said as she linked arms with Lin Yan. “He’s a few years older than me.”

“Your sons are in primary school?” Xingxing’s mom looked at Fang Yuwei’s youthful and charming face in disbelief. She studied her again carefully. “Really?”

She was nearing middle age herself and believed she could judge people pretty well.

Married or not could usually be seen at a glance.

It was mostly about the aura. It couldn’t be faked. Fang Yuwei was indeed very beautiful, but beautiful people were common. What stood out was her lively spirit and girlish charm.

She didn’t look like someone who was married with kids unless her life was exceptionally good.

“I have two sons. Twins.” As she spoke, Fang Yuwei pointed to Lin Yan with a bright smile. “The kids look like their dad. They really resemble him.”

“I think I’ve heard Xingxing mention that there’s a pair of identical twins at school.” Xingxing’s mom suddenly realized.

When talking about her sons, Fang Yuwei’s expression softened noticeably. “It’s probably them.”

They chatted a bit more before Fang Yuwei and Lin Yan left first.

After they walked away, Xingxing’s mom turned to her husband and said in dissatisfaction, “Look at how well Teacher Fang’s husband treats her. She doesn’t even look like she’s been married. You should learn from him.”

“…”

He was speechless because she really didn’t look like she had ever been married.

And their kids were already in primary school.

Not just the couple was shocked. The waitresses who witnessed everything were also stunned.

They thought they had seen all kinds of complicated relationships but never expected the couple to be like this.

They even had children. Twin boys already in primary school.

How good must life be to still look so youthful?

Evening.

Fang Yuwei came out of the shower wearing a pink spaghetti strap nightdress. Her figure was curvy and alluring, with a hint of tease.

Lin Yan had been leaning against the headboard reading a project proposal. The moment he saw her come out, his eyes fell on her body, burning and focused.

“What are you looking at?” Fang Yuwei snorted softly and told him solemnly, “I’m breaking up with you tonight. We’ll sleep on opposite sides.”

“Come here.” Lin Yan put down the proposal and opened his arms to her, his eyes affectionate.

“No.” She refused decisively.

Lin Yan wasn’t annoyed at all. He coaxed her gently, “Come here. Let me hold you.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Come here.”

Fang Yuwei pouted and hesitated. When she reached the edge of the bed, she kept repeating, “I already said, I’m not forgiving you tonight.”

Lin Yan gently pulled her into his arms. Fang Yuwei ended up sitting on his lap. Her fair and delicate arms wrapped around his neck, though she still showed some resistance and stubbornness on her face.

Looking at her beautiful and charming face so close, his eyes filled with affection. He held her in his arms and leaned in to kiss her.

“Don’t kiss me.”

She seemed to be playing hard to get. But in Lin Yan’s eyes, she was like a gentle and seductive kitten, showing her delicate side as a woman. It made him crave her even more.

Fang Yuwei was kissed until her mind went hazy. In the next moment, she was laid down on the bed. Before she could react, her dress had already been lifted. She let out several soft moans in a row and was kissed again.

He whispered beside her ear, his voice low and seductive.

Just like many times before, Fang Yuwei surrendered once again to his tenderness, completely captivated. She actively responded to him, yet still stubbornly resisted, saying, “You’re just good at coaxing people. I hate you. You big pervert.”

But her words carried no threat at all. Her tone was weak, her face was flushed, and she looked like a pampered little woman.

Lin Yan never denied this. He was good at coaxing people.

In the past, he used to run after his two sons to coax them patiently. After they grew up and no longer needed it, he poured all his efforts into coaxing just this one person, wanting to present everything he had before her and love her sincerely.
