Chu Fang, who was standing nearby, understood what was going on.
The fat man forcibly snatched Wenqing's snacks. Wenqing was timid and afraid of trouble, so she naturally didn't dare to respond. However, her best friend and sister, Zhong Rou, stood up for Wenqing and gave the fat man a good beating.
Don't let the fat man's appearance fool you; he was no match for the chivalrous Zhong Rou. She beat him black and blue in just a few moves. His mother then came knocking on his door, shamelessly demanding justice and vowing to take the matter to court if there was no compensation.
Gao Ruoyun was just an ordinary peasant woman with little experience. When she heard that she was going to court, she panicked and quickly apologized to the fat man and his mother, hoping that they would forgive her this time.
Chu gestured to Zhong Tingyue, who then pulled her mother back. He stepped forward and said, "Fine, go ahead and sue in court, go ahead and expose it to the media. You can do whatever you want, but I'm warning you, I will repay you for everything you do."
“I will expose what your son has done to the national media, and expose your shamelessness as a mother. Furthermore, I believe I should be able to make you lose your job and have no place in the industry.”
The plump mother frowned: "Are you threatening me?"
“No.” Chu Fang said seriously, “I’m warning you that if you want to sue, I have a legal team waiting for you. If you want to expose yourself to the media, I can buy the front page of ten or even a hundred media outlets to make your family famous.”
The plump mother sized up Chu Fang, who was exuding an extraordinary aura at that moment, and immediately felt the urge to decline: "Hmph, let's leave it at that for today, I won't hold it against you."
“No, your son has to apologize to Wenqing and Zhong Rou, otherwise, I’ll have to hold you accountable,” Chu Fang said.
"Apologize to others." The chubby mother nudged her child.
The fat man was immersed in grief and pain when he heard that he had to apologize, so he couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".
So, I have to apologize to others after I got beaten up?
Is there any reason left in this world?
But facing his mother's cold eyes, the fat man sobbed as he apologized to Wenqing and Zhong Rou.
"You'll regret it when you get home."
ah?
I had already been beaten up, and now I was going to get another beating when I got home. Thinking about the bleak future ahead, the fat guy couldn't hold back anymore, and tears streamed down his face.
This is so hard for me!
The matter was thus resolved, and the mother and son left, finally bringing a sigh of relief to the homeroom teacher.
Zhong Rou hugged Wen Qing's shoulders: "Alright, alright, it's all over now. Wen Qing, remember this: you are mine, Zhong Rou's person. If you encounter any troublesome opponents outside, just mention my name, and both the legitimate and criminal worlds will give you face. If they don't, just tell me, and I'll kill them!"
Snap!
Gao Ruoyun flicked her little girl's forehead: "Who are you trying to kill? All you do is cause trouble all day long. Can't you shut up for once? You almost scared me to death."
"Mother, this really has nothing to do with me." Zhong Rou rubbed her forehead.
Just then, Wenqing's parents rushed over and gently comforted their daughter. After hearing the whole story, Wenqing's mother said, "Rou Rou, you've helped Wenqing a lot. Auntie doesn't know how to thank you enough."
“Hehe… …” Zhong Rou chuckled, “I’m doing a good deed, anonymously, and without expecting anything in return.”
“... ..."
It was already noon, and Wenqing's parents took Chu Fang and the others to a high-end hotel for a meal to thank Zhong Rou for her help.
Fortunately, Zhong Rou was there today; otherwise, her daughter would have suffered in silence.
After eating, Wenqing and Zhong Rou went back to school. Wenqing's parents had to go to work, while Chu Fang, Zhong Tingyue, and Gao Ruoyun slowly walked home.
"Fortunately, this matter was resolved today." Gao Ruoyun patted her chest.
Zhong Tingyue: "Mother, we are in the right. You don't need to be afraid of them."
"They are from Shanghai, after all, while we are not."
Chu Fang said, "People in Shanghai are people too. We are all equal. As long as you are in the right, you have nothing to fear anywhere in the world."
Gao Ruoyun smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, I'm so grateful for what happened today. If you hadn't stepped in, I wouldn't have known what to do. Thank you so much for your help..."
Here we go again...
That feeling of intimacy yet estrangement lingered in Chu Fang's heart.
It's so frustrating, so helpless...
We're all just ordinary people, so why is our conversation so awkward?
Seeing her boyfriend on the verge of collapse, while her mother was expressing gratitude to her future son-in-law, Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and found it quite amusing.
My love, aren't you going to help me?
My mother is grateful to you, what can I do? Don't be shameless.
Zhong Tingyue, I'm not done with you yet!
... ...
Zhong Tingyue rubbed her stomach, feeling that she was still not full. She then bought some braised dishes and snacks to go with drinks, and placed them on the table when she got home.
He then took out several bottles of Chu Fang's fine wines from the refrigerator, both red and white, each worth at least six figures.
She said casually, "Since we're free this afternoon, how about grabbing a drink?"
"Drinking in broad daylight?" Chu Fang scratched his head.
I wonder what this woman is thinking?
A complex expression appeared on Gao Ruoyun's face as she looked at her eldest daughter, her eyes filled with doubt.
The translation is: Honey, are you serious?
Zhong Tingyue ignored their opinions, poured a cup for each of them, and said to her mother, "Mother, Chu Fang helped my little sister out of that predicament, you should toast him."
Gao Ruoyun thought about it and realized it made sense. She then toasted Chu Fang, and the two of them downed their drinks in one gulp.
Zhong Tingyue then poured another full glass of wine and said to Chu Fang, "Chu Fang, this is my mother. You should also toast her."
The two drank another cup.
Then Zhong Tingyue used various excuses to get Chu Fang and Gao Ruoyun to drink, and the two drank like that until night fell.
Zhong Rou touched her stomach and said with a pitiful expression, "Sister, I'm hungry."
“There’s plenty of food on the table, why don’t you go and eat?” Zhong Tingyue said.
"I dare not go..."
"Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"
Yang Meina leaned back on the sofa, looked at Chu Fang and Gao Ruoyun, and said with a smile, "I finally understand why Uncle Zhong didn't let Aunt Gao drink alcohol. There was a reason for it."
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "I remember my mother mentioning something. She heard that Uncle Zhong and Aunt Gao's relationship was decided over a dinner party?"
“I heard… …yes.” Zhong Tingyue answered softly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Meina spat out her drink, spraying it all over Zhong Rou's face. The latter pouted pitifully and said, "I went to find Wenqing. Wenqing's mother said she'd treat me to dinner."
I can't stay in this house anymore.
Yang Meina gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
Zhong Ping used to be a dissolute man who had seen many women, so he couldn't possibly be interested in Gao Ruoyun. But Gao Ruoyun fell for Zhong Ping and couldn't extricate herself from her feelings.
At that time, Gao Ruoyun was thinking about how to date Zhong Ping. At that time, youth idol dramas were being broadcast all over the country, featuring a couple who got drunk and had sex, and then became a loving couple.
Yes, that's what Gao Ruoyun thought and did at the time.
Of course, it was impossible for them to have a relationship while drunk, but Gao Ruoyun took the opportunity to have Zhong Ping sign a letter of intent to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Under the guidance of that letter of intent, the two became a loving couple, and they remain so to this day.
(I need to take leave on May 1st. I need to go home for a medical check-up. Sorry...)
