Looking at Zhou Mingqiang, Lu Linhong stroked her chin thoughtfully.

She dialed Chu Fang's number and said, "Brother Chu, there's something I think you probably don't know, it's about Qiongqiong."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Lu Linhong watched Zhou Mingqiang leave and disappear into the vast crowd.

Not long after, a Bentley arrived from afar, and Lu Linhong got into the car amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

Chu Fang drove Lu Lin Hong to Starbucks, ordered her a coffee, and drank water instead.

He cut to the chase and asked, "What's wrong with Qiongqiong?"

Although Zhou Qiong is not his biological sister, he has long regarded her as his sister.

Upon hearing news about Zhou Qiong, they immediately rushed over.

Lu Linhong recounted everything she had seen and heard: Zhou Qiong had cried in bed last night, had been distracted in class today, and had just met Zhou Mingqiang, who seemed to be Zhou Qiong's biological father...

After listening, Chu Fang remained silent.

"Thank you for the news." Half a minute later, he regained his senses, expressed his gratitude, and went outside, leaving behind a single sentence:

"Wait here for me for a little while, I'll be right back."

Lu Linhong didn't ask any more questions and obediently sat down and waited.

Less than ten minutes later, Chu Fang returned, holding a bag in his hand. He handed it to her, saying, "This is for you."

"Huh?" Lu Linhong was at a loss for what to do.

She could tell at a glance that this bag was no ordinary bag; it was the latest LV model, worth six figures, and many wealthy ladies and socialites carried such bags.

He didn't expect that Chu Fang went out to buy him a bag.

Lu Linhong pushed her hand away, saying, "I can't accept it."

"Thank you for your concern and care for Zhou Qiong. As her older brother, I feel extremely guilty."

Chu Fang said earnestly, "Compared to the price of the bag, your kindness is far greater. I hope you will accept it."

The two tugged at each other, and finally Chu Fang stuffed the bag into Lu Lin Hong's arms before leaving Starbucks.

Lu Linhong touched the expensive handbag, feeling its comfortable texture, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is what real rich people are like!"

Buying a six-figure handbag as a gift is something most people can hardly imagine.

... ...

Epiphyllum Residential Area.

Chu Fang returned home, slumped onto the sofa, rested his head on Zhong Tingyue's beautiful legs, and touched his forehead.

"well!"

Zhong Tingyue looked up from the computer and asked, "What's wrong?"

He didn't hide it and told his fiancée about Zhou Mingqiang.

"Maybe not?"

Chu Fang rolled his eyes: "I asked my mom, and Zhou Mingqiang has indeed returned."

Zhong Tingyue gently rubbed his temples and said, "So what should we do next? Should we help her?"

“Leave it to Zhou Qiong to handle,” Chu Fang replied. “Qiongqiong has been very independent since she was a child, and she is already an adult. I think she can handle this matter well.”

From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Qiong has endured a great deal of hardship and suffering, and has witnessed the true nature of the world. She is a very independent girl.

Unless Zhou Qiong speaks up, Chu Fang will not interfere in that 'sister's' private affairs.

Chu Fang rolled around on the sofa, turning over in his stomach. "Hey, why did that good-for-nothing come back out of nowhere?"

He learned about Zhou Mingqiang's deeds from Chu Ma, and he was simply a scumbag!

He was a notorious gambler who gambled away his family, left behind a mountain of debt, and ran away, leaving Zhou Qiong and her grandparents to deal with the creditors.

How come this kind of person is still alive?

God is truly blind!

Zhong Tingyue gently comforted him.

... ...

There is a food street outside Fudan University. Zhou Qiong, Lu Linhong and two other roommates walked out of the school together.

One of her roommates said, "Wow, Honghong, your new bag is so pretty! Where did you buy it?"

Another roommate said enviously, "I want to buy one too."

Lu Linhong, carrying the bag Chu Fang had given her, smiled and said modestly, "I bought it from a small stall, and now I can't find the person who gave it to me."

Upon hearing this, the other two roommates sighed, "Your bag really looks like that new LV model."

Zhou Qiong had little desire for items like handbags, and neither cared about nor understood them, so she couldn't join the conversation.

She glanced over instinctively and saw Zhou Mingqiang standing at the edge of a small alley, looking at her.

Zhou Qiong frowned slightly.

In the past few days, the biological father has not left and has been lingering around the university.

She said to her three roommates, "I have something to do, you guys go eat first."

Seeing Zhou Qiong head straight in Zhou Mingqiang's direction, one of her roommates tilted her head and asked, "Who is that man?"

They naturally noticed Zhou Mingqiang's presence and were puzzled by it.

Lu Linhong replied indifferently, "Not familiar with each other."

Zhou Qiong and Zhou Mingqiang entered the alley, and the latter said solicitously, "Qiongqiong..."

Zhou Qiong said, "Don't follow me anymore, or I'll call the police."

Zhou Mingqiang responded, "I just want to see you."

"You've finished seeing everyone, you can go now." Her voice was calm as she spoke as she left the alley.

"Next time we meet, I promise I'll call the police!"

As he watched his biological daughter disappear around the corner of the alley, Zhou Mingqiang's face showed unspeakable pain.

Just as he was about to leave, someone blocked the alleyway in front of him. His expression changed, and he was terrified. He ran behind him, but the alleyway behind him was also blocked.

There were two burly men in front and behind him, a total of four burly men blocking his way.

Zhou Mingqiang's face broke into a fawning smile: "Brother Long..."

A man wearing a vest with large blue dragon tattoos slowly approached: "We've been looking for you for so long!"

Two burly men grabbed Zhou Mingqiang's arms. He struggled a few times but couldn't break free. He said ingratiatingly, "Brother Long, I'm going to raise the money."

"Raise money? I think you're trying to run away, to the ends of the earth, so we can't find you and you won't have to pay back the money."

"No!" Zhou Mingqiang shook his head. "Brother Long, you have to believe me."

Brother Long patted his face, like patting a puppy: "So, have you raised the money yet?"

"Give me some more time..."

Snap!

Before he could finish speaking, a crisp sound echoed through the alley. Zhou Mingqiang's face turned red and swollen, while Brother Long's face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

“You owe me 500,000 yuan. I gave you a month to raise the money, but the month is up and I haven’t seen a single penny. And you’ve disappeared without a trace.”

"Today, you either pay back your money, or you die!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mingqiang was terrified. He knew about "Brother Long's" exploits and how he was a well-known figure in the underworld, whose word was law!

Zhou Mingqiang collapsed to the ground, pleading, "Brother Long, please give me some more time. I'll raise the money soon. I've already come up with a plan."

"Oh~~~" Brother Long squatted down and asked, "What method?"

Zhou Mingqiang pleaded, "My daughter has a godbrother who is very rich. He lives in Zhonghai Mingyuan, owns several luxury cars, and has a company. He's a wealthy man, and I can get money from him."

Zhou Mingqiang returned home to escape loan sharks, but he learned from the townspeople that his biological daughter had recognized Chu Fang as her brother.

Having learned about Chu Fang's strength indirectly, he set off for Shanghai, hoping to use his status as Chu Fang's biological daughter to make some money off her.

Zhou Mingqiang originally planned to get close to Zhou Qiong first, then Chu Fang, and then borrow money, three to five million, so that he could not only repay the high-interest loan, but also live a carefree life.

As for returning the money to Chu Fang?

That was not within his consideration.

He borrowed money, received thanks, and now wants to repay it. How come Chu Fang gets all the good things in the world?

That's impossible!

He had planned everything perfectly, but he never expected Zhou Qiong to be so ruthless, and loan sharks to come knocking on his door.

Brother Long thought for a moment: "Alright, I'll give you one more chance, but you can't leave our sight again, otherwise there won't be a next time!"

Zhou Mingqiang chuckled and quickly said no, and the five of them left the alley.
