Chapter 96 Of all the things to lie about, why lie to children? They deserve a beating.
Fang Yiling, the fourth young master of the Fang family, is a genius boy with an eccentric personality, and few people have ever seen his true face.
Fang Manman was outside Fang Yiling's courtyard when she was stopped by the Fourth Young Master's bodyguards. She was furious and couldn't help but hit and curse at these tall men.
But these professionally trained bodyguards' expressions and movements seemed to be copied from an AI program; no matter what she said, they never gave an inch.
“Listen up, you lowly people! Don’t think you can act high and mighty just because you’re bodyguards. Do you even deserve it? Today is my mother’s birthday, and Fang Yiling is still hiding inside, refusing to come out and see anyone. Does he have any filial piety? If he doesn’t want to be called unfilial, he’d better get out here and greet the guests right now!”
The bodyguards remained motionless, and the leader said with a stern face, "We will convey your message, Miss Fifth."
Fang Manman felt like she was talking to a brick wall, and was so angry she wanted to yell at them again.
Since she came to the Fang family, apart from Fang's parents being relatively kind to her, almost all of Fang's other children disliked her.
Leaving aside the eldest daughter of the Fang family, that terrifying woman who inherited the family business was a complete female CEO. Fang Manman only saw her once, on the day she was recognized and returned to the Fang family. Just thinking about that condescending gaze made her tremble; with just one glance, it felt like her entire body was seen through, leaving her with no way to hide.
Fang Yefan, the second son of the Fang family, is handsome and has a good personality, but he always revolves around his best friend Su Yao and is often away from home on set, so it's difficult for her to establish a relationship with him.
Now, the only one left in the family is the fourth child, Fang Yiling. Fang Manman thought that if she could get Fang Yiling to attend Yan Xinyi's birthday party by herself today, she would definitely be looked at with new respect in front of all the guests and her mother.
Maybe Yan Xinyi will be in a good mood and give her more pocket money.
Fang Manman thought for a moment, then decided to force her way in. If she didn't get Fang Yiling out today, all her efforts would be in vain.
"Fang Yiling, come out here! Are you a coward?!"
Fang Manman screamed, and even as the security guards raised their hands to stop her, she still yelled at the top of her lungs, "How dare you molest me! Someone help me!"
bodyguard:"……"
Yan Xinyi and Butler Zhao, who had just walked over, were speechless.
The bodyguard, who looked like he wanted to die, immediately called out when he saw Yan Xinyi, "Madam!"
Fang Manman scoffed, "What kind of act are you putting on here? Madam? Let me tell you, if you don't let me in, I'll skin you alive today! You've been sexually assaulted!"
She was still laughing when someone grabbed her shoulder and spun her around.
Fang Manman screamed shrilly, "Who is it! Who dares to touch me! Do you have a death wish?!"
She thought it was some ignorant servant, but instead she was met with Yan Xinyi's icy and exquisite face. Fang Manman was so frightened that she immediately took two steps back. "Holy crap... Mom... why are you here?"
Yan Xinyi's brows furrowed. She gestured for the bodyguards to step back, then stepped forward and circled Fang Manman for a while, her brow twitching.
"We hired a teacher to teach you etiquette, but you still haven't learned a thing. You use foul language all the time, and your behavior is nothing like that of a well-bred lady. Do you like to use your status to intimidate others? I've told you before, you only use your status to intimidate others when you are nothing. The more you do that, the more insecure you seem."
Yan Xinyi felt that she hadn't favored any one child over the other; she had taught all the children with her heart.
Yan Xinyi had explained this principle to Fang Manman at least three times, but Fang Manman just let it go in one ear and out the other, never taking it to heart.
She couldn't help but think of Fang Kelai. That child had grown up to be so mature and sensible, the complete opposite of Fang Manman.
As expected, Fang Manman had heard it so many times that it didn't change at all.
Instead, she complained, "Mom, I just wanted to ask my fourth brother to come out and celebrate your birthday. You always talk about him, and I think you would be very happy if he could come out for a day. But these people, one by one, don't respect me at all. I just wanted to teach them a lesson."
Yan Xinyi softened a bit after hearing what she said, and finally said, "Alright, Xiao Si is different from other children. Don't worry about him. Whether he wants to go out or not is his right. Don't make a scene in front of his door."
Fang Manman could only reluctantly say, "Okay then."
She followed Madam Fang, and the two walked towards the flower hall. On the way, Fang Manman was still talking about Fang Yiling.
"Mom, it's not good for my fourth brother to stay at home all the time. What if he becomes autistic? He doesn't go to school either. How can this be? He should be in junior high school at this age. If he doesn't start now, it will be too late. If he doesn't get into university, his life will be over."
Yan Xinyi: "..."
Even someone as elegant as Butler Zhao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Yan Xinyi was about to ignore it when Fang Manman suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, "Mom, is there something wrong with my fourth brother's head? I've seen him a few times and greeted him, but he ignored me. He just sits there all day writing numbers randomly in his notebook. Shouldn't we ask a doctor to take a look at him?"
Yan Xinyi was already a little angry, and her voice rose a bit, "Enough, don't let me hear you say the words 'your brother is sick' again."
Fang Manman was frightened by her cold expression and could only shrink her neck and nod repeatedly, indicating that she would never say it again.
But as soon as Yan Xinyi turned her head, Fang Manman angrily plucked a precious flower. She really didn't know what Fang Yiling was; he was a complete autistic teenager, utterly useless. His parents only favored him, a typical case of male chauvinism. She never expected that this wealthy family was just like her hometown!
She took out her phone and texted Su Yao, asking where the person was. She couldn't wait to complain to Su Yao about this family's oddities.
Fang Ke never expected that her casual stroll would lead her to run into such a key figure.
"Hello, Xiao Yiling."
She waved and greeted us, her blonde hair shimmering in the sunlight, making her skin appear even fairer. She was almost unrealistically beautiful, like a girl in an oil painting by a famous artist.
But the person opposite her glanced at her twice, then looked at her blankly, as if she were a stranger.
After a long while, Fang Yiling lowered her head and started fiddling with her own things, completely ignoring Fang Ke.
This was truly the first time a young woman had ever been on a wedding procession, which piqued her interest in the child.
She leaned closer and laughed, "You've grown quite a bit in the past two years! How tall are you now? Are you 1.7 meters tall?"
The boy paused slightly with his pen and paper, seemingly wanting to refute the number she mentioned, but after a moment's hesitation, he continued to ignore her, focusing on writing and leaving her alone.
Fang Ke brushed aside his overly long bangs again, and Fang Yiling almost immediately froze, shifting slightly to the side, his entire body on alert.
"Won't such long hair cover your eyes? You won't look as handsome when you wear glasses... Well, I can't say that's absolute. Some people look great in glasses, but I still hope you don't wear glasses. They're very inconvenient."
She thought the boy wouldn't pay attention to her, but after a long silence, the boy said a few words in a low voice.
"You're not my sister."
Fang Ke: "Uh..."
Fang Ke is fine; she will save face on her own.
Of course, her first thought was that the boy would say this because of Fang Manman, so she deliberately said with a jealous look, "Oh dear, now that you have another sister Manman, you don't recognize me as your sister anymore. We grew up together, after all."
Fang Yiling was silent for a moment, then her voice became even colder: "...That woman is no better."
Fang Ke was surprised and became extremely curious about his words.
"Then who is your older sister? Your eldest sister, Fang Han?"
The Fang family also has an eldest son, Fang Ke remembers, this wild rose in the business circle, Fang Han, is Fang Zhen's publicly announced heir.
She is exceptionally courageous and ruthless, and has established her authority within the Fang Group very early on, becoming a well-regarded second-generation leader.
It was because Fang Han was the pillar of the Fang family that Fang Yefan, as the second son, was able to venture into the entertainment industry and pursue his dreams; otherwise, he would have been brought back to inherit the family fortune long ago.
Fang thought that Fang Yiling was referring to her as her older sister, but Fang Yiling simply said, "That's my eldest sister."
Fang Ke gasped, "Huh? Your family has an illegitimate child?"
Fang Yiling: "..."
Fang Yiling seemed to have no desire to talk to her anymore. He turned his back and continued doodling in his thick notebook.
He murmured, "I'm looking for my sister. She said she would come back once I solved this proof."
Fang Ke leaned over for another look. Although she really didn't want to shatter his dream, she couldn't help but say something.
"Your older sister is lying to you."
Fang Yiling paused, her pen poised, and said coldly, "What do you mean?"
She pointed at his equation and said, "You're solving Goldbach's Conjecture, aren't you?"
Fang Yiling's pupils contracted, and she abruptly turned to look at her.
Fang Ke thought to herself, "Where did this damned thing come from? He's always lying to kids, he deserves to die!"
Fang Ke couldn't help but say, "This is an unsolved mystery in human history. Some people have predicted that even an AI with maximum computing power would need hundreds of years to solve this problem."
Fang Ke couldn't help but pat his dazed head. "You little rascal, even if you lost all your hair, you probably still wouldn't be able to solve it. You might as well give up now. If you ever run into that woman who lied to you, just beat her up."
Fang Ke sighed again, "Of all the things to lie about, why lie to children? It's despicable, they deserve to be punished."
Fang Yiling: "…………"
Fang Yiling looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar face, and her long-silent eyes finally revealed a glimmer of starlight.
