Chapter 48 The Out-of-Control Dog
Fireworks burst forth, changing in an instant, a breathtaking sight.
Zhu Wan looked up.
It's so beautiful.
During the Spring Festival, every household in the village would set off fireworks, but it wasn't as grand as this.
"Mom, you don't need to come pick us up, we have a driver."
The clear, familiar voice made Zhu Wan subconsciously turn her head.
The man had his suit jacket draped over his arm, his right hand with his white shirt rolled up, revealing his pale wrist bone, and his slightly furrowed brow illuminated by the fireworks.
Fang Qizhou heard that his mother had arrived at the winery. His voice was slightly hoarse and weary: "Mom, why can't you live for yourself?"
Seemingly noticing something, Fang Qibai turned slightly to the side while holding up his phone.
Zhu Wan met the man's aloof gaze, pursed her lips, and realized she hadn't been eavesdropping on purpose.
Fang Qibai nodded slightly to her, then left with his phone in hand.
Zhu Wan stared at Fang Qibai's lonely figure, and suddenly felt a little sad.
This sadness came on for no reason.
I wanted to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows.
Zhu Wan was startled by her own idea.
“Ah Yuan, look at the camera.”
Meng Yin held up her camera and captured the moment.
The little girl, dressed in a light blue fishtail gown, stood obediently under the fireworks, beautiful and quiet.
Meng Yin took a few more photos.
Hearing the ladies gossiping, she took Ah Yuan and walked away a bit.
"Leng Qiyi, the wife of the Fang family, has actually been reduced to being the Fang family's driver."
“If you hadn’t brought up this name today, I would have forgotten that such a person even existed.”
More than a decade ago, Leng Qiyi was a well-known socialite in the industry, known for her beauty and talent.
None of the ladies present could match her prestige at that time.
The suitors lined up from Paris all the way to France to marry her.
Leng Qiyi squandered her good fortune for a man who didn't love her.
Now, in order to please men, she's even stealing the driver's job.
"If you ask me, she shouldn't be clinging to this Fang family wife position."
"Over the years, President Fang has been keeping his white moonlight hidden away, treating her like a precious treasure. Leng Qiyi raised that white moonlight's son as her own son, thinking that this would move President Fang. As a result, not only is her own son mistreated and unloved everywhere, but at home, she has to be mindful of that white moonlight's son's moods at all times."
Where did you hear this from?
“My aunt and Fang’s aunt are relatives, I heard it from Fang’s aunt herself.”
Where there's gossip, there's never a shortage of people gathering.
"Why don't you sisters come with me to say hello to Mrs. Fang? We used to hang out together all the time."
"Although Mr. Fang didn't bring his wife today, Leng Qiyi came all the way here on her own."
"After so many years of friendship, it would be hard for me not to say hello."
The woman who was speaking was holding Teddy, her eyes filled with undisguised mockery.
Meng Yin held up her camera and aimed it at the lady holding the teddy bear. "Mrs. Liu, let me take a picture of you two together."
The wife, who was holding Teddy, tidied her hair and straightened the bow on the teddy bear in her arms.
Her little one really made her proud today, not afraid of the crackling fireworks at all.
They are incredibly well-behaved.
The ladies who were about to leave all stopped in their tracks.
After taking the photos, Meng Yin smiled and said, "Are all the ladies in a hurry to go home?"
Mrs. Liu pointed at the fireworks, "I haven't had enough of these beautiful fireworks yet, I don't want to leave."
Meng Yin's few words made the ladies appreciate the fireworks again.
The fireworks display lasted for half an hour.
As Zhu Wan looked at the beautiful fireworks in the night sky, she thought of Fang Qibai's lonely figure and furrowed brows under the fireworks, and her heart ached even more.
Zhu Wan plucked a handful of grass from the ground. "People who talk badly about others behind their backs go too far."
Zhu Fan poked A Yuan's puffed-up cheek. "What did you hear? Tell me."
Zhu Wan relayed what the ladies had said to her sister.
Zhu Fan listened without saying a word.
Zhu Wan also quieted down.
Fang Qizhou stood out in the crowd.
Zhu Fan could see it as soon as he looked up.
Zhu Wan asked, "Sister, is he Fang Qizhou?"
Zhu Fan hummed in agreement.
The man stood casually under the fireworks, one hand in his pocket, surrounded by a group of young men. The group fawned over him, showering him with compliments and flattery.
Fang Qizhou was clearly dressed in a suit and tie, but he exuded a carefree and unruly roguish air. Despite the flattery and fawning from these people, he didn't even lift his eyelids.
When Zhu Fan looked over, Fang Qizhou looked up.
Zhu Wan covered her lips, "Sister, he's here."
Zhu Fan and Fang Qizhou's eyes met.
The man casually took a step toward her.
Zhu Wan was terrified. "Sister, he's coming towards us!"
Zhu Fan rested her chin on her knees, gazing at the man beneath the fireworks. "He doesn't eat people."
Zhu Wan shrank behind her older sister.
Fang Qizhou.
Zhong Feiying parted her lips slightly, her voice trailing off, and called out to Fang Qizhou.
Fang Qizhou paused slightly, but did not stop.
Zhong Fei walked up to him in a few steps. "I'm going to Yueyuan with President Fang tonight. Aunt Xin is not feeling well."
She was Aunt Xin's psychotherapist, and the only psychotherapist who was not rejected or driven away by Luo Shuixin.
Fang Qizhou was stopped, and Zhu Fan was also stopped by a lady holding a Yorkshire Terrier.
"Miss Zhu, could you please take a photo of me and my sweetheart together?"
The fireworks have finished.
But the winery has a beautiful night view.
She waited until the fireworks were over before bringing her dog out.
Zhu Wan had been chased by wild dogs in the village and was somewhat afraid of them.
Zhu Fan took the phone from the woman and took a picture of her and her dog.
After taking the photos, she returned the phone to the woman.
Zhu Wan, a small dog, could still suppress her fear, but now she got up from the lawn, wanting to stay away from the beautiful lady walking over with a medium-sized dog.
The Yorkshire Terrier barked defiantly, and the Belgian Malinois responded with an even fiercer growl. In an instant, the Yorkshire Terrier broke free from its owner's embrace and pounced on the Malinois like a shadow.
The Malinois instantly broke free of its leash and bit the Yorkshire Terrier's ear.
The Yorkshire Terrier, in pain, became increasingly agitated.
In a moment of panic, the Yorkshire Terrier owner swung his handbag at the dog.
The situation was completely out of control.
Zhu Fan helped the terrified A Yuan retreat hastily, but the two bloodthirsty dogs suddenly turned their attention to them and began to bite them.
Zhu Wan tripped on her high heels, her skirt caught on something, and she stumbled and fell. Zhu Fan reached out to help her, but it was too late—
The Malinois, baring its sharp white fangs, pounced on him.
In a flash, a figure swept past, and Fang Qizhou kicked the dog away with a fierce kick.
At the same time, the Yorkshire Terrier, which was biting Zhu Wan's calf, was precisely lifted up by Fang Qibai and thrown away.
