Chapter 3: The Stolen Fiancé 3

"Grandfather, why didn't you tell me?"

Jing Yunluo could not understand. If it hadn't been for the old man's good fortune, he would likely have lost his life. Why hadn't he revealed the truth?

The old man sighed. "Nannan, she is your biological mother after all. Grandfather was afraid..."

Jing Yunluo realized in a flash. That was right; the original owner had always harbored fantasies about her biological mother, believing that as long as she treated Liu Yueru well, Liu Yueru would eventually cherish her just as she cherished Su Wanwan.

Unfortunately... Liu Yueru was not a qualified mother, and she would never treat her two daughters equally.

"I know, Grandfather was afraid I would hold a grudge against Liu Yueru. But these things did indeed happen because of her, didn't they? When I was little, I couldn't understand why she didn't like me, but now, I no longer want to find the answer to that question. Such a mother—I don't want her, and I dare not want her. Grandfather, I only have you and my second uncle as family now. My father is gone, and I have no mother. So, Grandfather, you don't need to cover for Liu Yueru anymore. She kept you in a coma for three years; I cannot imagine what else she would be capable of. I will no longer sit back and wait for my fate!"

Seeing Jing Yunluo like this, Old Master Jing knew he could not sway his precious granddaughter, so he sighed and said nothing more.

Once Old Master Jing's health had sufficiently recovered, Jing Yunluo brought him home and announced his recovery. In just one day, the entirety of Haishi knew that the head of the Jing family had awakened and would once again take control of the Jing family.

The Fu family naturally heard the news as well. Out of courtesy, Fu Chen brought many gifts to the Jing residence. Old Master Jing did not give Fu Chen a warm reception and, after saying a few words, returned to his room to rest.

"It seems that Mr. Fu has indeed encountered some good fortune recently." Jing Yunluo poured a cup of tea for Fu Chen.

Fu Chen reached out to take it. "Does Miss Jing mean to say... that the good news was truly brought about by you?"

Facing Fu Chen’s skeptical retort, Jing Yunluo was not angry at all. After all, in this world of highly advanced technology, few would believe in something like a "Koi Fairy of Good Fortune." However, even if Fu Chen did not believe it now, he would eventually have to face reality one day.

"That's right, it was because of me."

Before Fu Chen could respond, Jing Yunluo smiled confidently. "If Mr. Fu still doesn't believe it, why not... try it again?"

"How should I try?"

His reason told Fu Chen not to agree, but for some unknown reason, his tongue moved faster than his brain, and he instantly accepted Jing Yunluo's suggestion. Upon further thought, Fu Chen felt that his life had been rather dull lately, so he decided to treat the agreement as a game to relax.

"Mr. Fu, why not announce the news of our engagement and see... what good news might follow?" Jing Yunluo looked at Fu Chen with a smile, yet her expression was quite serious.

Fu Chen’s expression shifted instantly. "Miss Jing, are you joking?"

Jing Yunluo raised an eyebrow. "It’s fine if you don't believe me. It just so happens that my grandfather also intends to dissolve the engagement. By then, whether you want to get engaged to Su Wanwan or be with anyone else will have nothing to do with the Jing family or me."

"Are you threatening me?" Fu Chen’s expression turned cold.

"Of course not. I have nothing that could threaten you. After all, the Fu family and the Jing family don't share any overlapping circles or industries. Even if the engagement is canceled, it wouldn't be a loss for the Fu family, would it?" Jing Yunluo analyzed the situation earnestly. In truth, whether the engagement with Fu Chen was dissolved or maintained would not hinder her mission to win him over; she just wanted Fu Chen to know that she, Jing Yunluo, was someone Su Wanwan could never compare to.

Jing Yunluo stood up and walked past Fu Chen, but she accidentally tripped over the leg of the coffee table. She let out a small cry, and just as she was about to fall, Fu Chen caught her and pulled her into his arms.

The unique fragrance from the young girl caused Fu Chen's heart to race. From his angle, the girl's curved eyelashes, petite nose, and rosy lips were all so beautiful—how had he never noticed this before?

"Thank you!" Jing Yunluo stood up straight from his embrace and brazenly studied the expression on Fu Chen’s face. She then stood on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Fu, I'll tell you a secret: I am a little fairy of good fortune. As long as you treat me well and believe in me, you will naturally have an endless stream of good luck."

However, Fu Chen could not possibly believe such absurd words. He removed his hand from her waist and took a step back. "Miss Jing, please stop your joking!"

Jing Yunluo shrugged. "Fine, if Mr. Fu doesn't believe me, then so be it. However..." She raised her hand and touched Fu Chen's face. Just as he was about to dodge, she tapped his forehead with her finger.

Indeed, Jing Yunluo had used her power of blessing. Fu Chen felt as though a warm current had passed through the spot she touched. As he breathed, he felt remarkably refreshed.

Jing Yunluo turned and walked toward the stairs. "My grandfather will come to your house in three days to dissolve the engagement. If you change your mind, you should tell him soon; otherwise..." Standing on the staircase with one hand on the railing, she looked back at Fu Chen and smiled lazily. "Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to get engaged to me again!"

After saying this, she waved at Fu Chen and left.

The Jing family butler shook his head with a smile and stepped forward to refill Fu Chen's tea, but Fu Chen excused himself and departed. Throughout the journey, Fu Chen kept thinking about what Jing Yunluo had said. After returning home, he suddenly received a phone call saying that a collaboration he had been unable to finalize for a long time had suddenly been approved by the other party, who had even conceded three percentage points!

Jing Yunluo's image flashed through Fu Chen's mind.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Because of those two pieces of good news, Fu Chen had become increasingly busy and paid no mind to anything unrelated to work. He had not taken Jing Yunluo's words about the engagement to heart.

That was until his grandfather called him...

"Grandfather, I'm very busy right now, you..."

Before Fu Chen could finish, he heard his grandfather's furious voice on the other end: "You little brat, get back here right now! Your Grandfather Jing is at our house! He says he’s here to dissolve the engagement!"

"What?"

Fu Chen frowned. It wasn't out of anger, but because he suddenly remembered what Jing Yunluo had said. Subconsciously, he felt a flicker of fear. If the engagement were dissolved now, he feared that such good fortune might never come his way again.
