For the sake of their little family, she will definitely succeed.
Once again, Zhao Fangfang made up her mind and completely convinced herself.
Jiang Rongyi saw everything, but didn't know how to react. She was the one who had been schemed against, yet Zhao Fangfang acted as if she had suffered a loss.
Is he that bad?
He's not bad at all; otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen by the two people in front of him.
"Brother, it's our turn tomorrow."
Jiang Rong nodded to indicate that she understood.
"I'll be going now. I'll bring my sister tomorrow."
When they learned that their younger sister had been brought along, Su Shu and the others' eyes lit up even more.
Jiang Rongyi even seemed a little jealous; why wasn't such a good younger sister one of theirs?
On the way back, Zhao Fangfang, who had just been so confident that she would succeed, was now in turmoil, her mind racing with wild thoughts.
What if we fail tomorrow?
What if Jiang Rongyi finds out she drugged her tomorrow?
After she succeeds, how will Jiang Rongyi view her?
Never before had Zhao Fangfang been so clear that Jiang Rongyi had already occupied a certain place in her heart.
From the start of the school year, Jiang Rongyi was in her sight, and for almost a month, she had been silently observing Jiang Rongyi.
She observed it with a different perspective and mindset than before, and in doing so, she herself became deeply involved.
She started to care about Jiang Rongyi's thoughts, but all of that disappeared after she got home.
"Oh, our young lady is back. I wonder who she learned it from. The way she walks is so impressive."
For almost a month, Zhao Fangfang hadn't heard her parents' insults, and she thought she wouldn't hear them again, but she heard them again today.
Zhao Fangfang's instinctive shrinking back was her response to her parents. According to past practice, her mother should have rushed up and hit her.
"Smack!"
As expected, the slap landed on her face; it was Zhao's mother who did it.
"Zhao Fangfang, I'm being too lenient with you. You don't think you can get cocky just because you and Jiang Rong are going to kiss!"
"Zhao Fangfang, you need to know your own limitations. If it weren't for us, would you have been able to get involved with Jiang Rongyi? If it weren't for us, would you be where you are today?"
"Look at your own face. Who are you giving that attitude to? Do you really think that just because you've gotten involved with Jiang Rong, you can disregard me and your father?"
“Zhao Fangfang, let me tell you, you were born of me and raised by me. You’ll never get rid of me for the rest of your life. Listen to me, I never did before, and I never will.”
For a whole month, fearing that others would notice something amiss or harbor any ill intentions, Zhao's mother did not leave the house.
Now that she's confirmed her pregnancy and the doctor says the baby is healthy, she finally dares to go out.
After not disciplining Zhao Fangfang for a month, Zhao's mother was itching to do something, and her hands were getting really irritated. Zhao's father didn't say a word, just stood by and watched.
After Zhao's mother finished venting, he also needed to vent; he was almost bursting with pent-up emotions after a month of this.
As for Zhao Fangfang, who was used as a target for venting, her father and mother didn't care about her feelings at all.
Her hand unconsciously covered her stomach; Zhao Fangfang was afraid that her parents would hurt the baby if they hit her.
Subconsciously, Zhao Fangfang glanced guiltily at her mother, her eyes widening instantly, because she saw her mother making almost identical movements.
Is she pregnant? And what about Zhao's mother? Is she pregnant too?
"Mother, are you pregnant?"
Before she knew it, Zhao Fangfang blurted out what she was thinking, noticing the change in her parents' expressions.
Zhao Fangfang inwardly cried out in alarm, but quickly came up with a clever idea and changed her words.
"Mom, you're pregnant. Does that mean I'm going to have a little brother?"
His tone was one of surprise, and he also wore a surprised expression.
Zhao's mother looked at it suspiciously for a while, then tentatively asked,
"Zhao Fangfang, you don't mind that you have a younger brother?"
The gender is still unknown, but everyone assumes it's a younger brother. Being a younger brother carries a different meaning, and Zhao's mother doesn't believe Zhao Fangfang doesn't understand.
“Mom, why would I care? You have no idea how envious I am of people who have younger brothers. Having a younger brother means having someone to back you up. Look at how rich Jiang Rong’s family is. I don’t know what will happen if I marry into their family. But having a younger brother is different.”
"It's different now. How is it different?"
Zhao's mother still didn't completely believe what Zhao Fangfang said. She thought that reading could make one's heart wild, and she doubted whether Zhao Fangfang's mother truly had no reservations.
"Mother, what are you saying? How can you be so confused? Now that I have a younger brother, I'll have someone to support me and a family to rely on."
Zhao Fangfang showed no sign of anything unusual in her every move and word.
Never before has Zhao Fangfang's heart been beating so fast, and never before has she lied without thinking.
Zhao Fangfang knew in her heart that if she couldn't get past her father and mother today, both she and her child would suffer.
"Father and Mother, don't worry. I will definitely make Jiang Rong treat my younger brother like her own son from now on. If he refuses, I will separate from him and report him."
After the harsh words were spoken, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were satisfied.
They wanted a son, but they knew their own circumstances; whether they could raise the child was another matter entirely.
They're old, and their son can only rely on Zhao Fangfang to support him. They staged this whole thing today to make Zhao Fangfang obey them.
So far things seem to be going well. Zhao Fangfang has taken the initiative to support their son, which has satisfied Zhao's parents.
"Alright, Zhao Fangfang, you'd better take good care of your younger brother from now on."
"Mom, don't worry. Whether I can hold my head high in the future depends entirely on whether my younger brother will stand up for me. I will definitely treat my younger brother well."
