Chapter 140
Although Zhong Qiao already had some understanding of her character, he still almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
She wiped the tea stains from the corners of her mouth in a somewhat embarrassed manner: "If your son hears this, he will make a scene again. You must never say such things in front of the child."
The proprietress put the little flower dog aside and waved her hand: "He is very heartless, just like this little thing. He only knows how to eat, drink, poop and poop every day. How can he care about an old lady like me? Even if I stand at the door and scold him a dozen times, he won't listen at all."
Zhong Qiao smiled, knowing that she was resentful of her son, but she didn't say anything.
"Here." The proprietress pulled out a package from under the cabinet. "This is what you wanted. It's perfect for Wanwan. It's the latest model, made of the finest material."
Zhong Qiao took it and touched the material. It was indeed very soft and silky.
"It's still the same price." She paid promptly, exchanged a few more words with her, and left.
After going out, he went to the state-owned vegetable market. The family hadn't eaten meat for a long time and was busy all the time. Zhong Qiao planned to use the meat coupons to buy some spare ribs and a few fresh radishes, stew them into soup, and satisfy the cravings of the family.
While choosing, Zhong Qiao suddenly heard someone calling from behind. He turned around and saw a light in his eyes.
It’s Sister Fang Nan, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
Fang Nan was wearing a maroon dress and had a shiny black braid. She had no makeup on her face, but she stood out in the crowd. Next to her was Fang He, who was dressed simply and wore a pair of pearl earrings, looking elegant and graceful.
The two of them walked side by side, and their build and height were similar, making them an eye-catching sight.
People looked at them in amazement.
Fang Nan was wearing shoes with thick heels and was running very fast, almost jumping in front of Zhong Qiao and sniffing him.
"Big Qiao, Little Qiao, you never come to play with me. I miss you so much."
Zhong Qiao was caught off guard by her attack and fell backwards, but she didn't react quickly enough. She caught Fang Nan and hugged her waist to barely stand steady.
"I've been a bit busy these days, so I forgot about it." Zhong Qiao explained with a smile, "You know, my business has finally started to pick up, and my dad is tinkering with his wood carvings. There are a lot of things at home that haven't been dealt with."
Fang Nan took his head away from her arms and stood still: "I was just teasing you, look how scared you are."
Zhong Qiao was already used to her habit of joking, so he turned around and greeted Fang He behind him.
She still kept in touch with Fang Nan sometimes, but she had basically no contact with Fang He since that incident. This was the first time she had seen Fang He after such a long time.
Her condition is much better than before, but there is always a hint of sadness between her eyebrows, as if she has something on her mind. Her originally delicate and beautiful appearance now looks a bit sickly, and her whole face has become thinner, making her look more mature and charming.
Now that she was closer, Zhong Qiao was almost stunned by her beauty.
It was a rare opportunity to meet, so Zhong Qiao said enthusiastically, "You haven't eaten yet, let's go to my house for dinner."
After saying that, he picked out a few large ribs and asked the other party to pack them up.
Fang Nan was very familiar with the place and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, your mother's cooking skills were really amazing. I've been wanting to try this for a long time."
Zhong Qiao glanced at her thin waist and smiled: "I didn't see how much you ate before. Now that you're here, don't waste my mom's cooking skills and eat more."
Fang Nan nodded repeatedly. Seeing this, Fang He smiled for the first time.
Along the way, Fang He didn't say much, but just followed Fang Nan silently. Zhong Qiao was worried at first that he had neglected her, but later he found that she didn't seem to like talking, so he just let her go.
After walking for a while, Fang He was admiring the reeds on the roadside. She had kept a short distance from Zhong Qiao and the others. Zhong Qiao kept an eye on her and couldn't help asking, "Why does your sister seem quieter?"
Fang Nan secretly glanced at Fang He behind him, lowered his eyes and said sadly, "Even though my sister always says it's okay, I think Fan Ming's matter still had a big impact on her. She rarely goes out now."
"I already regret it. After we called off the engagement, the matter should have been over, but I just couldn't get over it. I couldn't help but tell her that Fan Ming had a wife and children. Then she became a different person, locking herself up at home all day."
"Even this time, I had to coax her for a long time before she was willing to come out."
Zhong Qiao sighed for a moment, "I can't blame you. She was like she was drugged at the time. If you hadn't used your ultimate move, how could she have completely given up? As long as you don't get married casually, it's better than anything else. As for men, there will be plenty of them in the future."
Having said that, Zhong Qiao felt a little sympathy for Fang He.
After all, Fang He is young and this is her first time falling in love with Fan Ming. She thought it was true love, but she didn't expect that he turned out to be a scumbag who already had a wife and children. No one could accept this.
Fang Nan sighed. "You're right. I feel exactly the same way as you do now. I just hope that one day she can finally get over it. What's so good about someone like Fan Ming? Oh, forget it. Maybe when she figures it out, she'll understand naturally, and there won't be any need for us to go on about it here."
Zhong Qiao also thought it made sense: "Yes, everyone has their own tribulations. Once you overcome them, God will let you go. If you are still stuck in the same tribulation, it means you haven't overcome your own lessons."
Fang Nan was amused by her: "Da Qiao, why are you talking so elegantly now?"
Zhong Qiao blushed: "I was just comforting you."
"Alright, alright. I know you have a kind heart." Fang Nan smiled and held her hand. "I won't tease you anymore. Let's go, let's go to your house to see Wanwan. I haven't seen her for a long time. Has she gained weight again..."
The two of them smiled and looked very happy as they hurried home.
After arriving home, when she saw the two sisters from the Fang family, Zhong's mother understood what was going on and immediately welcomed them warmly. She even put on an apron and prepared to show off her cooking skills. She also did not forget to ask Zhong Siqi to peel the fruit.
Zhong Siqi was still taking a shower and didn't hear clearly what was said. He responded casually, rubbed his hair with a towel, put on his shorts, pushed open the door, and stared at the two sisters of the Fang family and Zhong Qiao.
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Zhong Qiao was the first to react, holding his forehead in frustration: "I've told you so many times to dress properly at home."
Fang Nan covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "My brother has grown up."
Fang He remained quiet, her eyes soft and innocent.
Zhong Siqi was burned by her gaze and finally reacted. He stretched out his hands to cover his upper body or lower body, but he couldn't cover anything. Then he went to the bathroom with a look of grief and anger on his face.
