Chapter 57 My Husband Listens to Eldest Brother Too

Chapter 57: My Husband Will Obey Big Brother Too

Ji Yunyin rushed home to find Ji Yunqing already there, her clothes filthy. She had been spotted escaping through the school’s back gate, and someone had thrown trash at her.

Seeing Ji Yunyin return, Ji Yunqing immediately stood up, her expression panicked. “Sis, what happened? Didn’t you go beg that old man from the Fu family? Why was my scandal still exposed?”

Ji Yunyin looked at her with a dark expression. “Did you really do all those things?”

Ji Yunqing replied carelessly, “So what? Those people don’t have powerful backgrounds. Bullying them is no big deal—just pay them off and it’s settled. The most important thing now is how to stop people online from spreading rumors. Sis, go talk to Grandpa Fu again—he likes you so much, he’ll definitely help.”

Her main concern was how to get through this situation—she still dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family like Ji Yunyin someday.

“Do you have any idea how heartless this behavior is? How can you act so righteous after doing something like this?!” Ji Yunyin stared at her in disbelief.

“Now you’re lecturing me? When I used to curse at Lu Jingtang at home, you never said a word to stop me. Oh, now you want to play the good person? You never spoke up before, but now you’re here to scold me. Let me tell you—you’re partly responsible for me turning out like this. If you hadn’t failed to win Fu Nanyu’s heart, would I be bullied like this? If I’d known earlier, the marriage arrangement should have been given to me—I’d definitely be better at it.” In her anger, Ji Yunqing blurted out everything she had been holding inside.

*Slap!*

Ji Yunyin was utterly disappointed in her sister. Overcome with fury, she raised her hand and slapped Ji Yunqing hard.

“You hit me?” Ji Yunqing covered her cheek, staring at her in shock. Since they were children, she had always been given whatever she wanted—Ji Yunyin had never once hit her.

After slapping her, Ji Yunyin immediately regretted it when she saw Ji Yunqing’s eyes redden. Their mother had passed away when Ji Yunqing was still too young to speak properly, and out of pity, Ji Yunyin had always indulged her every wish.

Ji Yunqing ran out sobbing.

Xie Qinghe had been watching. His assistant asked if they should go after her, but Ji Yunyin said no—it might be good for her to calm down alone.

Ji Yunyin and Xie Qinghe discussed whether they could offer compensation to the bullied students and ask them to provide statements of forgiveness.

While they were talking, the doorbell rang. The assistant opened the door to several police officers in uniform. They said they were there for Ji Yunqing—not only had she bullied and insulted others, but she was also suspected of extortion and blackmail, involving amounts exceeding ¥500,000.

After hearing this, Ji Yunyin’s vision darkened, and she fainted.

Fu Xiaqing and her husband only learned about the incident from the news. Fu Nanyu had kept her hospitalization completely quiet. As soon as they heard she was in the hospital, they immediately wanted to return via private jet.

Lu Jingtang managed to persuade them not to after much persuasion, repeatedly assuring them that Fu Nanyu was taking good care of her. Only then did the couple reluctantly agree to stay where they were.

After hanging up, the couple exchanged a glance, each seeing the same exasperation in the other’s eyes. The old man had been like someone possessed for years, willing to do anything to force Fu Nanyu into the marriage—even handing over the entire Fu family to Ji Yunyin if he could. They couldn’t understand what he was thinking.

Netizens quickly uncovered Ji Yunqing’s secret social media account. Among hundreds of posts, ninety percent were filled with insults and belittlement aimed at Lu Jingtang. The rest were wild fantasies about the luxurious life she would lead once her sister married into the Fu family, along with boasts about the expensive items she bought with money extorted from others.

“Holy shit, this girl isn’t even an adult yet, and her mouth is so filthy!”

“She even talked about hiring someone to have something done to Lu. I feel sick. Now I believe that people are born evil.”

“Lu never did anything to her, right? I think she’s just jealous. It’s not even certain her sister will marry into the Fu family, but she’s already acting like she’s the mistress of the household. Lu Jingtang buys a necklace, and she gets cursed out. I feel sorry for Lu.”

“Ji Yunyin, stop lying low. Come out and respond. What do you think about having a sister like this?”

“To the poster above—if her sister can say things like this, maybe she’s been saying them in front of her too. They’re probably cut from the same cloth.”

Yunshang Technology’s website was immediately flooded with tens of thousands of hateful comments and was reported so many times it returned a 404 error.

At the same time, the Qingshan International Young Entrepreneur Award recipients list was updated, and Ji Yunyin’s name was removed.

Lu Jingtang had no idea about Ji Yunqing’s secret account insulting her because, by the time she went online, the account had already been taken down by a certain mysterious powerful figure. Only some evidence was preserved for the lawyers.

After work in the evening, Fu Nanyu came to the hospital again. As soon as he entered, he gave her a deep, lingering look, holding a cake in one hand and a wooden paddle in the other.

She was very familiar with that paddle—it was the same one Fu Xiaqing had used to discipline him the last time he made a mistake.

It seemed he had specifically gone home to get it.

Even before he started, Lu Jingtang could already feel her palm tingling and burning.

Lu Jingtang eagerly served him tea and water while sneakily glancing at him, timidly saying, “B-Big Brother, you worked hard today. Have some water.”

Fu Nanyu ignored her and said to Chen Ma, who was standing nearby, “Chen Ma, please step out for a moment.”

Chen Ma could see Fu Nanyu was suppressing his anger. Hesitating, she couldn’t help but say, “Young Master, the young mistress is still ill.”

Fu Nanyu’s eyes darkened, and though he didn’t speak, his meaning was clear—today, he was determined to teach her a lesson.

Chen Ma had no choice but to leave.

Once they were alone, Lu Jingtang meekly held out her palm, her voice trembling with fear. “I’m sorry, Big Brother. Please punish me. It was wrong of me to lie.”

The bruises on her face hadn’t fully faded, and she still had a fever patch on her forehead. After two days of low-grade fever, her complexion was deathly pale, making her look utterly pitiful.

But the more Fu Nanyu looked at her, the angrier he became. Usually, she was as timid as a ball, but when it mattered, she dared to be defiant—to achieve her goal, she had ruthlessly bitten herself until she bled.

She was probably afraid of leaving future complications, so she had taken the initiative to confess to him.

Fu Nanyu loosened his tie with one hand and gripped the paddle. “Come closer.”

Lu Jingtang inched two steps forward, her hand trembling in mid-air.

*Smack!*

The paddle made contact with the tender flesh of her palm, immediately turning it red.

It really hurt, but Lu Jingtang didn’t dare make a sound. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Fu Nanyu hardened his heart and avoided looking at her face, asking coldly, “Why am I punishing you?”

Lu Jingtang mumbled, “Because I lied to you, Big Brother, and made you argue with Grandpa…”

*Smack!*

Another strike.

Fu Nanyu: “Say it again.”

Lu Jingtang’s voice trembled with pain. “I… I shouldn’t have exploited your guilt to achieve my own goals.”

*Smack!*

A third strike.

After the third hit, Fu Nanyu set the paddle down and admonished her sternly, barely containing his anger. “Your mistake isn’t using me—your mistake is using the wrong method. Do you think I'm dead? Even if I weren’t here, Second Brother is still around. Why did you have to hurt yourself to help someone else?”

Hearing this, Lu Jingtang was surprised. She hadn’t expected Fu Nanyu to be angry not because she had used him, but because she had intentionally injured herself.

At that moment, her palm was burning while her body felt cold, and she felt like a villain who had betrayed his genuine care.

To show her loyalty, Lu Jingtang began rambling nonsense: “I’m sorry, Big Brother. I won’t dare do it again. From now on, I’ll discuss everything with you first. Even if I have a husband in the future, my husband will obey you too. My children will listen to you. Our whole family of three will follow your every order.”

Fu Nanyu was angry yet amused by her words.
