Let's go back half an hour.

On the construction site.

Zhong Ping and his coworkers were working hard to carry a stone upstairs.

"Ping-ge, stop doing it, I'm scared." Wang Lang, the site manager, saw Zhong Ping carrying stones and his eyes twitched.

Good heavens!

The fact that Mr. Chu's father-in-law is doing this kind of work means that if anything happens, he, as the site manager, will be held responsible.

"Could you climb a little further?" Zhong Ping said, wiping the sweat from his face as he carried the stone upstairs and laid it flat.

These past few days, Wang Lang has been treating him like his own grandfather, even more so than he would treat his own eldest daughter.

He knew that Wang Lang was trying to curry favor with him because of Chu Fang, but he didn't want to take advantage of Chu Fang's connections. He only wanted to make money through his own abilities, earn enough money, and then go home to apologize.

"It's so hot outside, why don't you come to my place to enjoy the air conditioning and have some tea?"

"roll!"

"Okay."

Wang Lang left dejectedly, and several of his coworkers laughed and said:

"What kind of spell did you cast on Wang Lang? He treats you better than his own father."

"Did you find something on him that he couldn't use against you?"

“... ..."

Zhong Ping raised his chin: "The Mr. Chu who visited back then is my son-in-law. Wang Lang knows my true identity and wants to curry favor with me."

"Come on, you!"

"Exactly, I'm sick of hearing that."

"If you are Mr. Chu's father-in-law, then I am Mr. Chu's grandfather."

Zhong Ping scoffed, "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!"

The world is always so strange these days; no one listens to the truth, but lies are passed down through the ages.

Zhong Ping and his coworkers continued working, carrying the stone upstairs, when suddenly... the rope snapped, and the stone hit Zhong Ping's leg.

... ...

On the way to the hospital, Chu Fang sped up, overtaking one car after another.

At the traffic light, he glanced at Zhong Tingyue, his usually aloof face now showing worry and a hint of pitifulness.

Zhong Tingyue forced a smile, but it was still quite pretty.

Chu Fang held his fiancée's slender hand: "It will be alright."

The car sped along and soon arrived at a hospital. Upon getting out, he saw his future father-in-law's coworkers. He took Zhong Tingyue's hand and walked over, asking, "How is my father-in-law doing these days?"

"Huh?" The workers looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Huang Yongxiang reacted quickly: "Brother Ping is in the emergency room, receiving emergency treatment. He's on the 13th floor of Block D."

"Okay, thank you." Chu Fang nodded, then quickly pulled Zhong Tingyue into the hospital.

Several workers watched as Chu Fang and his companion disappeared into the building, then slowly came to their senses and looked at each other.

One of the workers slapped himself, feeling the pain: "Was that General Manager Chu who visited the construction site back then?"

"Three points, five points, no, ten points similar," another coworker said. "A ten-point scale!"

Huang Yongxiang said, "If I'm not mistaken, that's President Chu. And if I'm not mistaken again, what Brother Ping said is true; President Chu really is Brother Ping's son-in-law. And the woman next to him should be Brother Ping's eldest daughter, President Chu's fiancée."

"Damn it! Ping was so direct, I thought he was just messing with me, but I didn't expect... he actually meant it?!"

"That's what I think too."

"No wonder Wang Lang fawns over Ping Ge like a lapdog."

"Damn it, why does the world always develop in directions I never expect?"

“... ..."

The fact that Chu Fang was Zhong Ping's son-in-law was a blow to the workers no less than when a blind monk made a Maverick Triangle Kill!

Chu and Fang rushed to the emergency room and saw Wang Lang sitting outside, pacing back and forth.

Upon seeing them, Wang Lang approached, calling out, "Chu, Chu, Chu..."

After uttering "Chu" for a long time, Wang Lang couldn't come up with the next word.

Zhong Ping was injured, and he was the one who was in the most pain.

As the site manager, he was responsible for site safety, and he bore 100% responsibility for any worker injuries.

The injured worker was the father-in-law of a wealthy man, which made the situation even more painful.

If Chu Fang were to take his anger out on him for this, his life would be over.

"How is my dad?" Zhong Tingyue interrupted the other person's stuttering and asked directly.

“Yes, yes, yes…” Wang Lang stammered in reply, “The surgery is in progress.”

Zhong Tingyue: "Thank you."

Wang Lang: "No, no, no..."

Chu Fang found the stuttering unbearable, and before the other person could finish speaking, he pulled Wang Lang away from there, leaving Zhong Tingyue with a quiet space.

As he walked out of the hospital, several coworkers sitting on the hospital steps hurriedly stood up and called out, "General Manager Chu."

“You are my father-in-law’s friends, so you are my elders. Just call me Chu Fang,” Chu Fang said. “I would like to thank you all for taking my father-in-law to the hospital today. I am very grateful.”

Chu Fang bowed.

When the accident happened, Zhong Ping's leg was bleeding profusely. These coworkers carried Zhong Ping to the hospital, and everyone was covered in blood.

Upon hearing that the hospital was short of blood, the group rolled up their sleeves and donated blood.

No, no, no.

"This is what we should do."

"Yes, at home we rely on our parents, but when we're out in the world we rely on our friends. Since we're working together, we should naturally help each other."

They never expected that President Chu, whom even big bosses fawned over, would bow to them at this moment.

Chu Fang said, "I will take care of the elders' affairs from now on. You all go back and rest. You..."

At this point, he turned to Wang Lang and said, "You treat everyone to a meal at an expensive hotel; I'll pay."

After saying that, he said to his coworkers, "I'm really sorry, I have something to take care of today and I can't personally invite you all to dinner. I'll treat you all when my father-in-law is out of danger."

Wang Lang replied, "Understood, President Chu."

Chu Fang nodded and then rushed into the hospital.

Upon entering the hospital and arriving outside the emergency room, he saw Zhong Tingyue sitting in a chair, quietly gazing at the door of the emergency room, and a sharp pain shot through his heart.

Chu Fang sat beside Zhong Tingyue and held her hand tightly: "It will be alright."

Zhong Tingyue took a deep breath, her voice hoarse: "I was wrong. When I found out he was in Shanghai, I should have brought him home instead of letting him do these dangerous jobs. As his daughter, I am unfilial."

"No one could have predicted this," Chu Fang comforted softly. "You don't need to blame yourself."

Zhong Tingyue's eyes were red and glistening with tears. She lowered her head, her long black hair obscuring her delicate face.

Chu Fang remained silent, unsure how to comfort the other party.

He knew Zhong Ping's position in the Zhong family. Although he seemed to be in the lowest position, even lower than a tabby cat, he actually held an important position.

Gao Ruoyun, Zhong Tingyue, and Zhong Rou all rely on their future father-in-law.
