Chapter 37: Ambition Emerges
Fang Mengyao sensed the hostility of the Fang family and took note of it in her heart, but she did not take the hostility of the Fang family seriously. In her opinion, for herself who had the game upgrade system, the Fang family was not even qualified to be an opponent. The only thing she cared about was the set of jade in Fang Yuxin's hand.
When Fang Jintang took out the jadeite, she received a prompt from the game system: [I found a jadeite bracelet with a mysterious function. I suggest you take it. Do you accept the task?] She accepted the task at that time, but she didn't expect Fang Yuxin to refuse to give it up, causing her to lose the task reward in vain. The jadeite bracelet with a mysterious function also made her particularly concerned.
She originally wanted to take advantage of the outbreak of the apocalypse to go to Fang's house to get the things, but the Fang family had already moved away, so she ran away empty-handed! This time she came, she must get the bracelet! I just don't know where Fang Yuxin put the things, has she discovered the mysterious function of the bracelet? And what is that mysterious function?
There was no rush for this. The most important thing right now was to find out the identity of this child and make Qiu Yiming give up completely! She would never allow the man she liked to have another woman in his heart!
So Fang Mengyao deliberately exclaimed: "You...what did you call Sister Xin just now? Are you really Sister Xin's son?" At this point, she looked at Fang Yuxin deliberately, "Sister Xin, what is going on? How could you...how could you have such a big son? And where is the child's father?" At this point, she deliberately glanced at Qiu Yiming, and saw that Qiu Yiming's face became more gloomy.
Qiu Yiming's reaction just confirmed Fang Mengyao's guess - this child is not Qiu Yiming's son! This made Fang Mengyao very proud. Fang Yuxin had such a big son. No matter who the father of the child was, as long as it was not Qiu Yiming, she and Qiu Yiming would no longer have a chance! Even if Qiu Yiming liked her, the Qiu family would not want a daughter-in-law like Fang Yuxin who behaved improperly!
Fang Mengyao knew too little about Fang Yuxin and the Fang family. She subconsciously thought that Bai Qianqian was the child of Fang Yuxin and another man, and never considered the possibility that Bai Qianqian was a test-tube baby!
She looked around the house and spoke again, saying meaningfully, "Dad, why didn't you tell me you were moving? I went to the old house to look for you, but there was no one there. I was so worried. If I hadn't met Brother Yiming on the way, I wouldn't have known you moved here."
She said this on purpose for Qiu Yiming to hear, so that Qiu Yiming could see the true face of the Fang family. But she didn't know that Qiu Yiming was different from the men in the novels and TV dramas she had read before. He was not so stupid that he would not feel pity for her just because of a few words from her.
Fang Yuxin looked at Fang Mengyao with a half-smile, too lazy to give her face, and said directly: "Fang Mengyao, you sold the house and ran away secretly, and turned off your phone. Dad called you dozens of times but none of them got through. Now you have the nerve to say such things!"
Fang Mengyao didn't expect Fang Yuxin to tell her about selling her house. She panicked and subconsciously went to see Qiu Yiming. She still remembered that when she first met Qiu Yiming, she told him that her house was sold and she was homeless! She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. Qiu Yiming's face didn't change. He must have forgotten what she said casually.
In fact, Qiu Yiming had known for a long time that Fang Mengyao had sold her house herself. After he and Fang Mengyao separated, he sent someone to check and soon found out the result. He could see that Fang Mengyao was interested in him, but she didn't like Fang's family, so she intentionally or unintentionally discredited Fang's family in front of him.
Although he didn't like Fang Mengyao, he was a man after all, so there was no need for him to argue with her over a trivial matter. Moreover, he wanted to find out the secrets hidden in Fang Mengyao, so it was better for him to pretend that he knew nothing so as not to alert her.
Fang Mengyao naively thought that Qiu Yiming had not noticed the lie she had told. She thought about it, pretended that she knew nothing, and looked at Fang Jintang in surprise: "Dad? You...you really called me?"
Fang Jintang nodded and asked her expressionlessly, "Why is your phone always off?"
Fang Mengyao naturally wouldn't tell Fang Jintang that she changed her mobile phone card because she felt guilty about selling the house, and secretly went out of town to buy supplies with the money. She didn't know where she had thrown the original card, so how could she receive a call from Fang Jintang? She couldn't tell the truth, so she said, "Dad, I really didn't mean it. I was in a bad mood some time ago, so I went out of town to relax, and I didn't expect my phone to be stolen."
As soon as she said this, Fang Yuyang sneered: "Even if your phone was stolen, you could choose to keep the original number. Why didn't you? Also, why did you sell the house? You sold the house without saying a word and disappeared. Shouldn't you explain to Dad?"
Fang Mengyao couldn't answer, of course. She stared at Fang Yuyang, her eyes gradually turned red, tears flashed in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and her voice was filled with tears: "Brother, I know you have never liked me, but I really didn't expect that after all the hardships I found you, not only did I not feel the warmth of my family, but I was questioned by you! What did I do wrong to be treated like this by you?"
She started crying as she spoke, looking at Fang Jintang with tears in her eyes: "Dad, do you not welcome me either? If so, I can leave now!"
Fang Jintang didn't say anything, but just sighed, feeling even more disappointed with Fang Mengyao. He had lived for so many years, what kind of people had he not seen? Fang Mengyao's tricks were not good enough, and he knew at a glance that she was guilty. Looking at Qiu Yiming standing beside him, Fang Jintang felt even worse when he thought that he had seen everything.
Qiu Yiming was a little embarrassed. After all, he was an outsider and it was not easy for him to get involved in the Fang family's affairs. But he witnessed it all with his own eyes. Fang Mengyao came with him! He thought about it and felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he said, "Uncle and aunt, Yuyang, and Xinxin, in fact, I came here this time, in addition to seeing if you are okay, I also have something to tell you."
Having said this, he paused, looked at Fang Mengyao and said, "Xiaoyao, you did something wrong in this matter. Please apologize to your uncle."
Fang Mengyao was actually panicking. She said this on purpose, thinking Fang Jintang would compromise, but he didn't say anything, leaving her with no way to end the situation. So when Qiu Yiming said this, she looked at him gratefully, climbed down the ladder he gave her, and said obediently, "Dad, I really know I was wrong."
