Early in the morning, Chu Fang woke up, stretched, and looked refreshed and radiant.
The events of last night still lingered in his mind, giving him immense satisfaction.
After a quick breakfast, I packed my belongings and prepared to return to the Tanhua residential area.
Nowadays, he prefers to live in the Tanhua Community rather than the Zhonghai Mingyuan.
At noon, Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong got up, drinking milk and eating bread lazily.
They finally got a day off, and all they did was sleep and go shopping.
"Brother, you're not staying here anymore?" Chu Yi lay on the sofa and glanced at him.
"Back to Tanhua Community."
"My sister-in-law finally let you into her bed?"
Kissing is already difficult enough, let alone anything else... Chu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth: "Adult matters are none of your business, kid. You two have the day off today, why don't you go see your sister-in-law?"
Zhou Qiong nodded.
Chu Yi immediately sat up: "Yes! I didn't chat with my sister-in-law for long last time we met."
After packing his personal belongings, Chu Fang took his two younger sisters downstairs. In the underground parking garage, Chu Yi saw that her brother was still driving his Cadillac, while the other three sports cars were gathering dust in the garage. She said softly:
"You're wasting a sports car by leaving it in the garage, bro."
"If you get into a top-tier university, I'll buy you a car."
"You said it, you can't go back on your word." Hearing this, Chu Yi perked up.
"How are Chu Yi's grades lately?" Chu Fang asked Zhou Qiong.
“Yiyi has made rapid progress, and the teacher praised her,” Zhou Qiong replied.
Chu Yi straightened his back, a smug look on his face.
Chu Fang nodded.
There is indeed a huge difference between the educational resources in Shanghai and those in other towns. With expert guidance, targeted teaching methods, and multifaceted instruction, it's normal for Chu Yi's grades to improve.
It was worth it for him to bring Chu Yi to Shanghai.
I am very pleased.
Actually, what changed more was Chu Yi's temperament.
When she first arrived in Shanghai, she was a completely naive country girl, unaccustomed to the ways of the world. But after spending more time there, especially after attending a prestigious high school in Shanghai, she made classmates and friends who were all cultured, respected, and skilled in arts and crafts...
Chu Yi also possessed the air of a well-bred young lady.
When Chu Yi was video chatting with her mother, she almost didn't recognize her daughter.
Chu Fang could finally relax and no longer worry about his sister being kidnapped by the young man with yellow hair. Even if he wanted to, the young man with yellow hair didn't have the money or means.
After getting in the car, we headed straight for the Tanhua residential area.
The weather is quite nice today. The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, making you feel warm and cozy.
"Brother~~~" Chu Yi rested his head on Zhou Qiong's lap and fiddled with his phone.
"What?" Chu Fang answered as he drove.
"My sister-in-law probably doesn't know that my stepmother already knows her identity, right?"
Having seen too much of the world has led to a problem: becoming too shrewd.
Although she had only met Zhong Tingyue once, she immediately realized that Chu Ma was hiding her feelings for Zhong Tingyue.
It's not that Zhong Tingyue is stupid, but that she doesn't understand Chu's mother well, while Chu Yi understands her very well.
"What? What do you want?"
Chu Yi sat up abruptly, looking energetic: "Promise me one thing, and I'll keep your secret."
“That’s your stepmother and your sister-in-law’s business. Why should I be threatened by you?”
“You didn’t tell your sister-in-law, that’s deception.”
"Go ahead and tell them." Faced with the threat, Chu Fang remained calm and composed. "You ruined the relationship between your stepmother and your sister-in-law. Your stepmother will tear you apart."
Chu Yi thought for a moment.
Although she had a good relationship with her stepmother, she had never surpassed Chu Fang's position in her stepmother's heart. If she damaged that relationship, her stepmother would definitely ignore her.
Thinking of this, Chu Yi collapsed, utterly dejected: "It's meaningless, really meaningless."
Chu Fang smiled and said, "Trying to fight me? You're still too green."
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Tanhua residential area. Instead of going in, they went to the market and bought a lot of ingredients. Each of the three of them carried several bags and then headed towards the residential area.
Passing by the security guard's room, Chu Fang saw the old security guard lying on the chair, fast asleep. He quietly put down a pack of "Huazi" cigarettes and walked into the community. The old man raised his eyelids, looked at Chu Fang's figure, slowly withdrew his gaze, and began to sing opera, the lingering sound echoing in the air.
Back in his room, Chu Fang immediately felt the atmosphere of 'home' enveloping him, and he instantly relaxed, feeling warm and at ease.
This place holds the story between him and Zhong Tingyue.
After resting for a while, Chu Fang then directed his two younger sisters to help him wash and chop vegetables.
Although it was only 2 p.m., he was preparing a big meal to celebrate his return.
... ...
At the Moon Room Studio, Zhong Tingyue checked the time; it was already 4:30 PM. After quickly tidying up, she left the office and went to the front desk, saying to Jiang Wenzhen, "I'm off work. Message me if you need anything."
"Oh, Sister Zhong, you're off work so early today?" Jiang Wenzhen asked upon hearing this.
Zhong Tingyue nodded, while Jiang Wenzhen continued, "By the way, Sister Zhong, Chu Fang, that lazy bum, hasn't come to the studio for a long time. Why does he get paid even though he doesn't work? That's not fair!"
“He’s not getting paid anymore,” Zhong Tingyue replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Wenzhen paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "What happened? Did you two break up?"
“Hehe.” Zhong Tingyue chuckled. “Our studio can’t afford to support such a big shot.”
Knowing that Jiang Wenzhen had doubts, Zhong Tingyue had no intention of hiding anything and told Jiang Wenzhen about Chu Fang's identity in detail. The latter stared wide-eyed, empty and lifeless, and suddenly blurted out in Shanghai dialect: "Are you trying to lie to me?!"
Seeing Jiang Wenzhen's extremely surprised face, Zhong Tingyue felt sympathy for her.
Chu Fang often boasted to Jiang Wenzhen that he was a rich man, but Jiang Wenzhen never took it seriously and always thought he was just an ordinary person. This was a fixed mindset she had formed, but then she suddenly received this news.
Who could stand it?
Who can withstand this?
Zhong Tingyue had been gone for a long time before Jiang Wenzhen slowly came back to her senses. She scratched her face, just then Cai Guan walked by and tugged at her clothes: "Hey, little fatty, I have some explosive news for you."
"What news?"
"Chu Fang is actually a rich man!!!" Jiang Wenzhen said, enunciating each word clearly.
After she finished speaking, a look of gritted teeth appeared on her face. She was furious that Chu Fang had deceived her for almost half a year, despite their close relationship. He was a complete scoundrel!
Looking at Cai Guan's calm face, Jiang Wenzhen's anger seemed to be suppressed at once: "Why aren't you surprised?"
“I knew that all along,” Cai Guan replied unhurriedly.
"You knew all along?!"
“I learned about it at Yatengyige.”
Jiang Wenzhen recalled the moment when Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue got together, and smirked, "Hehe, that's great, I'm the last one to know again."
Her head slowly moved, her gaze landing on the chubby boy: "You must have laughed at me a lot in your heart, I'll kill you first."
“... ..."
Little Fatty Cai Guanxin felt wronged: What does this have to do with me!
