Just then, a voice rang in their ears: "Excuse me, could we share a table?"

Chu Fang turned around, and An Hongda was somewhat surprised: "Mr. Chu... I'm sorry, I'd like to change seats."

Chu Fang noticed An Hongda, his sister-in-law's assistant, and a little boy standing nearby. He shifted his position and said, "I don't own this shop, so let's all sit together."

An Hongda looked around and, finding no empty seats, apologized and sat down. He then started tearing apart fried chicken for the little boy, while his female assistant stared at Chu Fang with a serious expression.

Chu Fang ignored him and continued drinking his beverage.

The female assistant spoke softly: "President Chu, I offended you today and I apologize, but you shouldn't have misjudged our company because of my words."

"Are you saying I'm petty?"

"I like to tell the truth, yes."

“Xiaoling… ” An Hongda tugged at his sister-in-law, then said to Chu Fang, “President Chu, I’m sorry.”

"It's nothing," Chu Fang waved his hand. "Do you want to know why I'm not investing?"

"think."

"It is indeed because of you, but not because of those words. It's because you are President An's sister-in-law, and your existence makes me distrust President An."

Chu Fang didn't mince words and directly expressed his concerns: "The amount of money to be invested is not a small sum, but a sum that many people can't even reach in a lifetime. Your presence makes me see no return."

The female assistant's expression was complex, a mixture of surprise and astonishment...

An Hongda remained calm, after all, he was an old hand and naturally knew Chu Fang's worries and concerns.

Zhong Rou tore off a chicken leg and handed it to the little boy next to her, whose face beamed with a smile.

The female assistant was silent for a moment, then said, "I can resign and leave my brother-in-law's company."

“No need. I will definitely keep my promise to your sister.” An Hongda frowned.

"Brother-in-law..."

“The matter is already settled, what’s the point of you resigning?” An Hongda said. “Company matters are not child’s play, don’t take yourself too seriously.”

The female assistant opened her mouth but didn't say anything, instead saying to Chu Fang, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu."

"fine."

After they started chatting, the atmosphere wasn't as intense as before. The female assistant took care of the little boy, and since he no longer needed Chu Fang's help, An Hongda wasn't as reserved as he had been when they first met. He fully demonstrated the emotional intelligence and IQ of a middle-aged man who had been in the business world for many years.

He and Chu Fang could talk about anything, from the north to the south, and from the world to the far and wide.

After finishing their meal and drinks, Chu Fang wiped Zhong Rou's hands, stood up, and said, "I'll go first. You all continue eating."

"If you have time, please come to my company again in a few days so we can talk in detail."

The female assistant's lips parted slightly, her face filled with disbelief. An Hongda asked, "President Chu, why are you asking this?"

"Let me introduce you, this is also my sister-in-law." Chu Fang pointed to Zhong Rou, "I love her just as much."

After saying that, the two left immediately, and the three of them fell silent as they watched their retreating figures.

"Brother-in-law..."

"I should thank you too, Xiaoling."

... ...

Night fell, and the lights dimmed.

Zhong Rou's eyes reddened: "Brother-in-law, is it really because of me?"

"That's right." Chu Fang said casually as he drove, "I saw affection in An Hongda's care for his sister-in-law, and then I thought of you. You should treat her well unconditionally, make sure she's not wronged, and let her live happily every day. Even if others bully you, I will protect you..."

After saying that, a few tears slid down Zhong Rou's cheeks: "Brother-in-law, you're too good to me."

"Who told you to be my sister-in-law?"

Done!

Women are always too easily moved by external things.

You're still too green to mess with me, Zhong Rou.

It was already late at night when I got home.

Upon opening the door, one sees Zhong Tingyue dressed in a purple nightgown. The design is exquisite, with delicate patterns embroidered on the neckline. The hem sways gently with her steps, like a violet swaying in the night breeze, exuding a faint fragrance, just like a beautiful painting.

"You two are back." Zhong Tingyue asked upon seeing them.

Zhong Rou snorted and ignored her older sister, while Chu Fang did the same, snorting as well.

They're going to isolate Zhong Tingyue tonight.

Zhong Tingyue smiled, a half-moon shape forming at the corner of her mouth, and tossed her hair as she said to Chu Fang, "Help me dry my hair."

Before Chu Fang could speak, Zhong Rou put her hands on her hips, angrily saying, "Zhong Tingyue, do you not have hands? Why should your brother-in-law help you blow-dry your hair? Can't you do it yourself? Are you a giant baby?"

Zhong Tingyue was taken aback: "Why are you taking his side?"

“Why not? My brother-in-law is so good to me, he treats me with all his heart, so I have to speak up for him,” Zhong Rou said. “Zhong Tingyue, I’m warning you, you’re not allowed to bully your brother-in-law anymore, and you’re not allowed to ask him to do things for you, otherwise, I’ll never forgive you.”

After saying that, he turned around and patted Chu Fang on the shoulder: "Brother-in-law, if my sister bullies you, just say the word and I'll fight Zhong Tingyue to the death."

Chu Fang narrowed his eyes into slits.

Anhongda's investment was absolutely perfect; not only did they make money, they also gained a bodyguard.

I'd like to see if you, Zhong Tingyue, will still dare to boss me around like that in the future.

The sister-in-law still understands her brother-in-law's heart.

Back in his room, Chu Fang lay on the bed, overjoyed. The door quietly opened, and Zhong Tingyue sneaked in.

Chu Fang casually took out a hairdryer and started drying his girlfriend's hair. She said, "Did you fool Zhong Rou again?"

"No."

“Impossible.” Zhong Tingyue straightened her back and said slowly, “Zhong Rou has never been so open and honest with me. I can’t find any other reason other than deception.”

"Is it possible that it came from the heart?"

"I was completely fooled."

Chu Fang then recounted everything that had happened that night, emphasizing the scene that moved Zhong Rou to tears.

"No wonder Zhong Rou protects you; you're really willing to go to great lengths." After hearing this, Zhong Tingyue gritted her teeth. "You've made money off others, and you've bought off Zhong Rou's sincerity. You're utterly heartless!"

Chu Fang straightened his face and said seriously, "Zhong Tingyue, I hereby solemnly warn you that you are not allowed to yell at me in the future, otherwise, I will have Zhong Rou deal with you at any time."

"Do you believe I'll tell Zhong Rou what you're thinking?"

"Whatever, she won't believe me anyway. On the contrary, she'll dislike you even more. You petty Zhong Tingyue!" Chu Fang said smugly.

".... ..."

Zhong Tingyue twitched the corner of her mouth.

This person is incredibly quick-witted.

Even if I told her, Zhong Rou wouldn't believe me.

She thought for a moment, then gave up and said calmly, "Oh well, it doesn't matter. I'll beat you two up together."

“... ..."

Oh no!

Forget that Zhong Rou can't beat Zhong Tingyue either.

Chu Fang scratched his face.

It seems that the bodyguard wasn't very useful.
