Chapter 108 Reaching a consensus with Father Fang

Zhong Qiao swallowed the sticky sesame paste and pounded his chest several times. He still felt the sticky feeling wrapped around his throat, making it difficult to swallow. He swallowed his saliva and his tongue was scratchy.

She hated this tingling feeling the most.

But under Fang Nan's expectant eyes, she still reluctantly ate one-third of it. Finally, she used the excuse of "so that she wouldn't be unable to eat dinner" and Fang Nan let her go.

In the end, they still couldn't choose a satisfactory wedding dress. Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Nan didn't want Zhong Qiao, who was visiting for the first time, to continue following them, so he went to the state-owned vegetable market and bought some fresh vegetables and meat.

Zhong Qiao followed them into an old residential area.

Although the facilities are old, careful observation reveals that the location is good, close to the Second Ring Road, quiet, and convenient. Turn right when you go out and you will see the state-owned store.

It is simply a modern version of school district housing.

Zhong Qiao couldn't help but feel a little suspicious about the Fang family's background.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He had a neatly combed back hair and was dressed very elegantly. He glanced at Fan Ming in the front with a sidelong glance and snorted coldly.

Fan Ming was already accustomed to his attitude. When he was dating Fang He before, he was privately dissuaded by Fang's father.

Otherwise, how could Fang He, a gold digger with no opinion of her own, be willing to break up with him?

After falling into the water, Fang He lost her memory. He knew his chance had come and coaxed Fang He to marry him.

When Fang's father found out, he was furious at home, but finally agreed reluctantly for Fang He's sake.

Fan Ming spent a lot of effort to please him, but this old fox was like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and would not respond to any requests or requests.

He hasn't gotten the marriage certificate yet, nor has he gotten the Fang family's property, so he can only endure it again and again. Until today, the two of them are only calm on the surface, but in fact, they are just one trigger away from an explosion.

"Dad." Fang Nan was also a little embarrassed. He seemed to remember something and made way for Zhong Qiao behind him. "Dad, we have guests coming to our house today."

Zhong Qiao greeted him politely.

Mr. Fang looked confused, with his mouth slightly open, and was stunned for a moment. Then he stood up and greeted Zhong Qiao.

“This is this…”

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, looked Zhong Qiao up and down, and searched his mind for his impression of her.

Could it be Fang He's classmates? But after looking for a long time, he didn't have any impression of them.

"Let me introduce you." Fang Nan enthusiastically pulled Zhong Qiao over to block Fan Ming. "This is the Zhong Qiao I told you about. She's beautiful, a hard-working student. I met her today, and she's already started a business."

Father Fang remembered.

"Oh—" he said belatedly, as if realizing something had occurred. "I remember you, Zhong Qiao."

"Come in, come in."

He put on a polite and kind look and invited Zhong Qiao in. There was no trace of his previous expression that said "someone owes me eight million". This scene made Fan Ming's eyelids hurt.

"Nanfang told me that Qian Cheng must have given you a lot of trouble, eh!"

Father Fang sighed.

"I apologize to him. Our school welcomes young people like you who are passionate about learning. His actions truly go against the school's original intention. From now on, he will no longer be in charge of the school committee."

Zhong Qiao didn't expect that this matter would be reported to Fang's father. When she heard his tone, she immediately realized that Fang's father was the person in charge of this university. No wonder he didn't dress like an ordinary worker.

So, Fang Nan's family conditions in his previous life were pretty good.

Zhong Qiao looked at Fan Ming who was changing into slippers behind him. He was carrying bags of vegetables and had a gentle expression on his face.

If it weren't for Fan Ming, how could the Fang family be destroyed? Fang He was a young girl with a promising future, so how could she have encountered such a thing?

One person harmed everyone in the Fang family, Fan Ming, you are really amazing.

Zhong Qiao felt even more disgusted with Fan Ming.

Fortunately, she is still trying to find a solution and will never let the mistakes of her previous life repeat themselves.

Zhong Qiao followed Mr. Fang's topic and chatted briefly, which was nothing more than talking about self-study at home, and heard Mr. Fang praising her repeatedly.

While Fang Nan went to take a shower, Fang He and Fan Ming were responsible for helping in the kitchen. After they prepared the dishes, Fang's father would show off his cooking skills.

The kitchen and living room are separated and soundproofed, but blocked by the TV, so you can't see anything.

Zhong Qiao and Fang's father chatted idly, staring absentmindedly at the exposed corner of Fan Ming's clothes.

Father Fang was an experienced person. He followed her gaze and frowned slightly, "Comrade, are you attracted to Fan Ming?"

Although he doesn't like Fan Ming, Fan Ming is Xiao He's fiancé in name after all. Comrade Zhong Qiao has her eyes almost glued to him. It's a bit despicable to covet someone else's fiancé.

"No." Zhong Qiao was stunned for a moment, then came up with a very reasonable explanation, "I just envy their good relationship."

Hearing this, Father Fang closed his eyes, and his expression of disgust and disdain could hardly be concealed.

"Envy? What are you envious of?"

Zhong Qiao sensed something fishy in his words.

"Fan Ming is very cunning, so you'd better be more discerning when you look for a partner in the future."

When this matter was mentioned, Mr. Fang could no longer hold back.

"The Fan family is in a mess. The father is a gambler and is in jail. He has a sickly mother and a bunch of sisters who are as thin as cucumbers. And they only gave birth to one son, who is the crown prince."

"To be honest, I didn't agree to this marriage from the beginning. If it weren't for Xiao He liking him, I would have kicked him out long ago..."

Looking at Mr. Fang, who had been polite and well-behaved before, now complaining bitterly, sometimes clicking his tongue, sometimes closing his eyes helplessly, and sometimes looking at Fan Ming with contempt, Zhong Qiao suddenly thought of Fang Nan.

As expected of a father and daughter, they really have similar personalities. When it comes to topics of interest, they throw away all their proper manners and just open their mouths that never get tired.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Qiao interrupted his complaints.

"Uncle, actually—"

She glanced at the closed kitchen door. This was the first time she had said something bad behind someone's back, and it was a bit exciting.

Facing Father Fang's puzzled look, Zhong Qiao finally continued what he had not finished saying.

"I hate Fan Ming, too."

For a moment, the world was silent.

Father Fang looked at her in disbelief, and his expression gradually became clear - surprise, confusion, belated realization, delight, appreciation, and encouragement for talent.

"Great minds think alike." Father Fang slapped his thigh and felt his troubles of the past few days dissipate like clouds.

The whole world was brainwashing him, emphasizing that Fan Ming was a good son-in-law, but he was not a fool. How many of those relatives truly hoped that their family would live a good life? If he really was a good son-in-law, those people would either come to snatch him away or hate him with hatred.

Only good things will be coveted and robbed, and only bad things need to be sold to fools using all kinds of sweet talk.

Fang He is a fool, and he is treated as a fool by others.
