Chapter 110 Expanding New Business
Zhong Qiao was surprised, but at the same time she felt that it was nothing. The world was so big and full of strange things. She had even served the Xu family's gang of scoundrels for so long, but they had never cared about her. What was this little melon?
However, the authenticity of this letter remains to be assessed.
"Really?"
What he got was Fang Nan nodding solemnly: "I asked someone to go to Fan Ming's hometown. It was difficult to find him at first. Fan Ming hid very well, but I finally found him. Zhuang Hong was his child bride and they had a son."
At this point, Fang Nan gritted his teeth and said, "Fan Ming is such a piece of shit. He didn't even register the mother and daughter, just because he was afraid we'd find out."
Nowadays, if you don’t have a household registration, you are considered an illegal resident. Adults are restricted from traveling, and even children can’t go to school and have to hide for the rest of their lives.
Zhong Qiao was also shocked by Fan Ming's methods and gasped: "This is his own son." Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs.
Thinking about how Fang Nan had been pretending in front of Fan Ming these days, and how realistic his acting was, if others knew that there was such a poisonous snake hiding around them, they would have been exposed long ago.
Zhong Qiao's face turned pale and he said, "Fang Nan, you are so cruel." He was cruel to himself, and even more cruel to Fang He, and he didn't even tell his own sister.
Fang Nan gritted his teeth: "What can I do? If my sister finds out, she can't pretend, and her feelings are written all over her face. I can only stick to them every day." This was also to prevent Fan Ming from coaxing Xiao He into getting pregnant before marriage.
Zhong Qiao didn't say anything more. She originally thought that Fang Nan was stupid, but now it seems that she was overthinking it. Fang Nan is very smart and has the talent to be a movie queen.
If it were in the 1990s, she would at least be a famous actress.
"What else do you know?" Fang Nan asked.
Zhong Qiao told Fang Nan everything about Zhong Ling, which matched Fang Nan's guess. However, as the wedding date approached, Fan Ming became more and more cautious and was unable to expose her.
"I have a solution." Zhong Qiao said suddenly.
As he spoke, he leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Fang Nan's eyes lit up more and more and she nodded vigorously.
Then, Fang Nan stuffed the letter back into the ground floor of the red brick house and even covered it with a layer of moss. Seeing that it was almost time, he hurried back.
In order to tease Fan Ming, Zhong Qiao deliberately lowered his footsteps and suddenly opened the door. Fan Ming was caught off guard and stood outside the door.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Qiao pretended to be innocent.
Fan Ming's mouth twitched. His brain was exhausted before he made up an excuse: "Oh, ask Sister Zhong Qiao if she can eat spicy food? Is there anything she shouldn't eat?"
Zhong Qiao stared at him for a long time. Seeing that he still had a gentle and innocent expression, his stomach churned with nausea, but he smiled faintly: "Eat, no dietary restrictions."
Fan Ming forced a strange smile: "That's good."
Zhong Qiao felt uncomfortable with his gaze and slammed the door shut.
After waiting for two hours, Fang's father invited them to dinner. The table was filled with home-cooked dishes, but they were all delicious, especially the braised meatballs, roast pork and steamed pork with rice flour, which Fang Nan praised highly. They were indeed delicious.
The unhappiness in Zhong Qiao's heart was somewhat dissipated by the delicious food. After taking a few bites, it was indeed delicious.
Because Fan Ming was watching her, Zhong Qiao didn't say much to Fang Nan. Before leaving, he looked at her and they understood each other tacitly that everything would go according to plan.
When he got home, it was already dark and the Zhong family had gone to bed. Zhong Qiao was afraid of attracting the attention of other people's dogs, so he groped his way home in the dark. Hearing some noise in the yard, Zhong's father turned on the light.
Zhong Qiao saw his father wearing an outer coat at a glance.
I haven’t slept yet.
"Are you back?" Mr. Zhong showed a subtle joy on his face and handed the hot water bottle in his hand to her.
He seemed to want to say something, but he just said, "I'm glad you're back."
Zhong Qiao chatted with him for a while, and seeing that he was absent-minded, he went back to his room. When he turned around, Zhong's father was still lingering at the door, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Zhong Qiao took off his shoes and huddled on the sofa to keep warm: "Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Mr. Zhong hesitated at the door for a while, feeling a little conflicted, but finally went in.
"Qiao Qiao, let me tell you about business." After a pause, he added, "And the matter of dividing the family."
Zhong Qiao didn't interrupt him.
"I've calculated that we have enough money on hand to rent a house and start our own business. But are you really ready to split up?"
Zhong Qiao nodded: "Yes." The family must be divided. The Zhong family will not tolerate her.
Life is short, just a few decades, and it's nothing more than a matter of who dies first. In the end, we will all fall into the coffin and turn into dust. Arguing with others will not prolong your life. It is better to start your own business early and live a quiet life.
Perhaps because she had died once, Zhong Qiao couldn't think of anything else to look forward to except making money.
"Your grandpa came to see me today."
Father Zhong sighed and said with embarrassment, "Zhong Long came home and told everyone about you finding someone to rescue him. Your third aunt is going a little crazy now, saying it was all your scheme. Otherwise, how could she have predicted the future like a god? Your grandfather was afraid that something might happen to you and Wanwan, so he asked us to find a way to move out this month."
Zhong Qiao was silent for a moment.
Was it Grandpa's idea to move out this month, or Grandma's? Or maybe both? She could actually guess.
Mr. Zhong felt uncomfortable when he saw that she didn't say anything.
Oh, it would be great if it were in Hong Kong. No one would dare to say a word against Zhong Zhiwei’s daughter. She could do whatever she wanted, let alone dividing the family property. Even if it was buying a house, as long as Qiao Qiao liked it, she could just buy it.
But now, their family’s money is all in Hong Kong. They don’t have enough money to buy a house, and they are not allowed to buy a house in mainland China. Otherwise, they would not have to endure this humiliation.
It was clearly their own home, but they were forced to leave.
"It won't take a month." Zhong Qiao raised his head, his brows stern in the firelight. "In half a month, we will separate and no longer have any contact with my aunts."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhong suddenly felt full of strength and wanted to start carving and weaving bamboo baskets on the spot so that he could go to the market to exchange them for money and then cooperate with Ji Hebai.
This way Qiao Qiao won’t have to suffer.
"Dad, don't be too impatient." Zhong Qiao saw what he was thinking. "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You have to take care of your health first so that you can make better things. Our business still depends on you."
Father Zhong nodded: "Dad knows, and Dad wants to see you and Siqi get better and better."
Zhong Qiao leaned over from the sofa, pulled out a few drawings from the table and handed them to Zhong's father. These were all new designs she had made in her spare time, and she had also added a new gadget.
“Isn’t this clothing?”
Even a grown man like Mr. Zhong couldn't understand it. He held the drawing up to the light and saw that it was a young woman's dress, but the pattern and the cutting craftsmanship of the collar and cuffs were different from the current gray, blue and white ones.
It is not very bright and eye-catching, but more of a plain color, suitable for everyday use.
Zhong Qiao lowered his eyes.
With the first sum of money, it's time to expand new business.
