Chapter 102 That infuriating move, of course, was learned from my senior.
Zhao Qi smiled at her and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Su Yao bit her lip, her eyes seemingly red, and her voice trembled as she spoke behind Fang Yefan and Yi Mohan, "Why did you bully me too..."
Zhao Qi let out a pitying sigh, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.
"To be honest, your tears no longer elicit any pity from me. Do you need to find somewhere to cry your heart out before you come back?"
"..."
Yi Mohan's face was frosty, and she slapped his handkerchief away.
That's enough.
Yi Mohan gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that coming here today was a mistake. Madam Fang, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll take Yao Yao away now."
What could Yan Xinyi say? She could only smile politely.
But unexpectedly, the next second, Su Yao seemed unable to withstand the continuous shocks and fainted.
"Yao Yao!"
Fang Yefan and Yi Mohan shouted excitedly at the same time.
Fang Manman then came to her senses and said anxiously, "Quickly, quickly take Yao Yao to the guest room to rest, I'll go find a doctor to take a look."
Yi Mohan stood frozen in place, helpless. He had just said he was leaving, only to be proven wrong again.
Fang Yefan, finding him in the way, took over Su Yao's body and carried her horizontally. He only said to Yan Xinyi, "Mom, Yao Yao can't take any more stimulation right now. I'll take her to rest first."
Yan Xinyi looked at Fang Yefan with a blank expression, and could only tell him, "Take good care of the guests."
After Fang Yefan took the person away, Fang Manman followed closely behind, pulling Yi Mohan along as she left, saying, "Come on, Mr. Yi, why are you still here looking for trouble!"
Yi Mohan subtly avoided her hand and could only awkwardly nod to Yan Xinyi, while Yan Xinyi maintained a polite smile throughout.
Yi Mohan glanced at Fang Ke and Zhao Qi one last time before leaving with a cold expression.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but ever since he saw Fang Ke again, every single time, he felt incredibly embarrassed and ashamed!
Fang Ke, he's a real jinx!
Yi Mohan now only wanted to have the flower hall burned down to destroy the evidence.
After the group left, Yan Xinyi turned to Fang Ke and said jokingly, "Look at you, you were just starting to become more docile a couple of years ago, how come you've become so unforgiving again? Although Yi Mohan isn't worth associating with anymore, what if you suffer in your career after offending the Yi family?"
Fang Ke immediately shifted the blame, "Zhao Qi! I'm talking to you! Look how angry you've made him, and you even told him to find a place to cry his heart out before coming back. Are you even human, you deadbeat straight man?"
Zhao Qi: "..."
Zhao Qi said irritably, "I learned this from you, senior. Only you can use such an infuriating move so skillfully."
Fang Ke: "? When? Don't frame me."
Zhao Qi was so angry that he pulled out his phone and shoved it in her face. "Look at what you sent me at the end!"
Don't be jealous.
So what if I ate it?
"Then take your time eating."
Fang Ke: ...
Zhao Qi let out a heavy snort, and Fang Ke immediately uttered a word of "harm".
"It was during a TV show recording, so it's normal that I couldn't keep track of everyone's concerns. You're such a tall and strong person, how can you be so petty and hold grudges like that? It's not good."
Zhao Qi: "Hmph!"
Fang Yiling muttered to herself, "...I've misjudged him. This guy is so childish."
Yan Xinyi couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Qi, it's been a long time! You've gotten even more handsome. Did you come with your dad today?"
When Zhao Qi faced Yan Xinyi, he immediately became much more well-behaved, adopting a demure and gentlemanly expression.
"Yes, Auntie, my dad is chatting with Uncle Zhen in the study. I was just wandering around out of boredom and I didn't expect to see you all here."
Yan Xinyi teased, "What's going on between you and Xiao Ke? Didn't you two have a falling out before?"
Fang Ke raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
Zhao Qi was slightly embarrassed. "She broke up with me on her own."
Fang pointed to himself: Me?
Zhao Qi squinted at her. "Back then, you cut off all your male friends because you were single-mindedly pursuing your fiancé. Have you forgotten?"
Fang Ke: "..."
The original owner was such a fool, how could he have gotten so hung up on one person?
Fang Yiling suddenly said, "The air pH concentration is 2.5."
Zhao Qi didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
Fang Ke hugged Fang Yiling tightly and laughed heartily, "He said you're so cheesy!"
Zhao Qi: "..."
As the farce gradually came to an end, it became the most interesting topic of conversation among the guests today.
At the luncheon, Fang Zhen and Yan Xinyi both attended and once again introduced their children to everyone.
But Fang Manman refused to come out of spite, and Yan Xinyi sent someone to check, but there was no response, so she could only let her be.
After the luncheon, some stayed to drink tea and play cards, some went fishing and played golf, and some went to the wine cellar to taste wine and play Texas Hold'em. The Fang family arranged servants to wait in each venue to take good care of each guest, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Yan Xinyi changed into casual clothes and went back into the study. She saw that Fang Zhen also had something to say to her.
"Are you tired today?"
"fine."
Yan Xinyi smiled, and Fang Zhen took the initiative to get down from the main seat, pressed her into a chair, and leaned back against the table, looking at her tenderly.
Yan Xinyi casually flipped through the files on his desktop. "Coco and Yiling really gave me a huge surprise today."
Fang Zhen smiled but didn't say anything, as if he wasn't surprised.
Yan Xinyi asked, "Did Old Zhao just come over? What did you two talk about?"
"I've discussed two projects in North America, and I'm still considering them."
"With whom?"
Fang Zhen smiled at her, and Yan Xinyi raised her eyes suspiciously, "Why that expression?"
"Do you remember this person, Yes?"
Yan Xinyi has a very good memory; she recognized the name she heard this morning.
"Who exactly is this Yes? You always look so strange whenever he's mentioned."
Fang Zhen sighed, "I am envious. If our family had a descendant like Ye Si, the Fang family would have no worries at all, and could even double its size."
Yan Xinyi said, "Is he that powerful? You'd better watch out when Hanhan comes back and pulls your beard off."
Fang Han was also abroad handling a project and didn't have time to come back to celebrate Yan Xinyi's birthday, but the gift was shipped back a month early.
The Fang family is very proud of their eldest daughter, Fang Han's, abilities. Their previous children were all very talented, but unfortunately, none of them were interested in running the business.
Fang Zhen said, "She's been wanting to quit for more than just a day or two. She forwards me videos of cycling across China on WeChat every day. Does she think I don't know what she means?"
Yan Xinyi burst out laughing, "Then you can count on Coco and Yiling."
Fang Zhen did not object, but said, "Let's observe further. It would be laughable if word got out that such a large family business had no one to inherit it."
On the other hand, this junior, Ye Si, suddenly appeared on behalf of the Yi Group a few years ago during a major investment. Before leaving, he reminded Fang Zhen and Zhao Xingheng to cut their losses in time and avoid a huge pitfall.
After this incident, the two of them became friends with Yes.
They also worked on several projects together, with an astonishingly high return of 100%. None of Ye Si's projects resulted in losses.
Even more outrageous, they watched as Yes doubled the size of the Yi Group.
But Fang Zhen always felt that Ye Si was unfathomable and extremely dangerous, and he couldn't see through Ye Si's purpose, so he always remained clear-headed and cautious.
"I've never understood why Yes warned me and Lao Zhao to avoid risks back then, and why he continued to work on projects with us afterwards."
Yan Xinyi was very perceptive and knew almost immediately what he wanted to say.
Yan Xinyi snorted coldly, "You men always have an ulterior motive, and you love to use women as scapegoats. How opportunistic."
"Why am I being dragged into this again..."
"Then don't drag my daughter into this. Don't say things like Yes only did the project with our family because of Coco. What do you mean? Your daughter has to repay this favor for you? You have to repay the favor yourself. Who knows, maybe Yes is interested in you, this old baby."
"…………"
Fang Zhen was so startled by Yan Xinyi that he almost choked on his own bronchus.
"Honey, can you please not talk in such a terrifying way?"
Therefore, sharp tongues are all passed down from generation to generation.
Yan Xinyi took out a photo album from her desk drawer and looked through the family photos. As she looked, a wave of sadness washed over her.
Her finger traced an old photograph from ten years ago, the first time Fang Ke left home to study in the United States.
In the photo, she stands in front of the school's Hall of Fame, wearing an American-style school uniform with an oversized gray sweatshirt over it. She is holding a book in her hand, carrying a backpack on her shoulder, her lips are slightly pursed, and her beautiful eyes are full of bright smiles.
A naive, confident, and generous young woman, Fang Ke, at 14 years old, is smiling at Yan Xinyi.
Yan Xinyi felt she couldn't look at it any longer. She closed the photo album, choking back tears, and said, "I watched her grow up. Such an outstanding child, why isn't she ours... She's clearly my daughter..."
Fang Zhen's study contains many photos of Fang Ke when she was a child, which the couple has never deliberately put away.
Fang Zhen pulled Yan Xinyi into his arms to comfort her, "Now that she's back, don't be too upset..."
Yan Xinyi, however, had a dark thought. She said softly, "Could what Yi Ling said be true? Should we do another paternity test..."
Fang Zhen also fell silent until the maid knocked on the door and came in to bring tea. Only then did he say, "Don't think about it too much. Let's have a happy birthday, okay?"
