Chapter 162 Zi Cheng Goes Abroad
Chapter 163 Zicheng Goes Abroad
When Fang Qing rushed to the Meng family villa, he could hear a fierce quarrel inside the house while standing outside the door.
"How come you are getting more and more immature as you grow older? If you want to say you don't want to go, why did you do it earlier? We are about to leave, and you tell me you are not going? Meng Zicheng, what do you mean?"
Zhang Ting was met with silence. Fang Qing quickly walked into the door and asked, "Sister Zhang, what happened? Why are you so angry?"
After several years of getting along, Fang Qing and Zhang Ting not only had an employer-employee relationship, but also became very good friends in private.
When she met Fang Qing, Zhang Ting finally found someone she could talk to.
"You're here just in time, teach this little bastard a lesson for me! I had clearly agreed with him to send him abroad to study in a few days, but he suddenly told me today that he didn't want to go! What do you mean by not wanting to go? Do you know how much thought your father and I put into this matter, and in the end you just said it casually, saying he won't go, so he won't go. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Fang Qing hurriedly comforted the excited Zhang Ting until she calmed down a little, then he helped her lean on the sofa to rest and walked towards Meng Zicheng who was standing beside him with his head down.
"Zicheng, what's the matter? Weren't you very happy about studying abroad before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Fang Qing walked over, patted the boy's arm and asked him to sit down.
Meng Zicheng has grown rapidly in the past few years and is now almost surpassing Fang Qing. Seeing Fang Qing's calm expression, Meng Zicheng lowered his head and expressed his thoughts.
"I...I just suddenly don't want to go. It's good to study here."
"How dare you say that! Do you want to piss me off to death?" Zhang Ting stood up excitedly, looking at her son with disappointment.
"At the beginning, you said you wanted to study medicine and serve the motherland in the future. You said it with great fanfare. Your father and I were so happy that we couldn't sleep all night. The next day, we started thinking about ways and looking for the best learning resources for you. But why did you just say you didn't want to go? You are really..."
Seeing this, Fang Qing quickly gave the old housekeeper a look and pulled Zhang Ting back to the bedroom. Only Fang Qing and Meng Zicheng were left in the hall.
"Zicheng, Teacher Fang doesn't believe that you are a coward because you are far away from home. You must have your own reasons for suddenly changing your mind. Can you tell me?"
Meng Zicheng was silent for a long time, and finally nodded. "A few days ago, my fake second uncle came to our house again and made trouble. My mother was so angry that she had a heart attack. I am the man of the family. If I leave and my father is not at home, my mother will be left alone..."
Meng Zicheng didn't finish his next words, but Fang Qing already understood.
Although the Meng family is a wealthy family, they are also in a mess.
Meng Fan, the illegitimate son of Mr. Meng, actually got a job in a public institution in the past two years by using money to find connections.
Coupled with Mr. Meng Meng's preference for his youngest son, the man named Meng Fan became more and more arrogant and domineering.
He came to the house several times and made a fuss, claiming that Meng Ting had seized the property belonging to his mother.
It was still okay when Meng Ting was at home, as Meng Fan wouldn't dare to do anything wrong with him around. But Meng Ting was busy after all, so most of the time Zhang Ting had to deal with her brother-in-law on her own.
When Meng Fan was young, he grew up in the countryside, and his mother did not educate him well, so he became a gangster. When such a person acts like a rogue, it is impossible for a lady like Zhang Ting to deal with him.
When he was a child, Meng Zicheng didn’t understand what was going on, but now that he has grown up, he understands a lot of things and has begun to learn to protect his family.
Thinking of this, Fang Qing sighed, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I understand your thoughts. If you really don't want to study abroad, communicate with your parents. But Teacher Fang has something to tell you. In many cases, people without ability cannot protect their families and their loved ones."
Hearing this, Meng Zicheng finally raised his head, and his pretty eyes, which looked like Zhang Ting's, looked at Fang Qing seriously, "Teacher Fang, is it true that I can only become capable if I study abroad?"
Fang Qing smiled and shook his head. "I just want to tell you that when you are faced with a life decision, you must think carefully. Whether you are going abroad to study or staying in China to develop, don't act on impulse. If you really don't know how to choose, have a good talk with your father and tell him clearly what you are considering. Don't be shy to express yourself and cause unnecessary misunderstandings among family members."
Meng Zicheng listened to Fang Qing's words quietly for a long time, and nodded obediently, "Thank you, Teacher Fang, I know what to do now."
A few days later, Fang Qing and Zhang Ting went to the airport together to see Zicheng off.
After that day's peace talks, Meng Zicheng ran to his father's study that night. The father and son had a long talk all night. In the morning, Meng Zicheng finally agreed to continue studying abroad.
Zhang Ting waved to her son who entered the ticket gate, and they left the airport together until Meng Zicheng could no longer see him.
Fang Qing was a little dazed as she watched the plane take off. She had sent Wen Ning to the plane in the same way before. But it had been almost a year, and there was still no news of Wen Ning.
Seeing her staring at the sky, Zhang Ting instantly understood that Fang Qing must be thinking of Wen Ning again.
"Qingqing, do you want me to ask my friends abroad to help you find out about him?"
Zhang Ting took her hand and asked tentatively. Zhang Ting's good friend happened to be abroad, so it was not difficult to find out about someone, but if she investigated others privately without Fang Qing's permission, Zhang Ting always felt that it was not appropriate to do so.
Fang Qing raised her head and smiled faintly, "No need, we are considered to have separated, and I am too busy with my own affairs to think about these things. That's it, thank you, Sister Ting."
Zhang Ting couldn't help sighing in her heart. Fang Qing and Wen Ning were such a perfect match at the beginning. She and her husband even made a private bet about when the two would get married. Even after Zhang Ting acknowledged Fang Qing as her sister, she had already prepared for the wedding of the two. Who would have thought that in just one short year, the once perfect couple would go their separate ways.
"Okay, if you say you don't want to investigate, then I won't. But, I heard from Uncle Wang that you found a private company to start working? How is the boss? Is the company environment good? If it's really not good, you must tell me, and I will ask Lao Meng to find you a better job..."
Fang Qing was deeply touched by his friend's concern. "Oh, that's really not necessary. I'm doing well in this company right now. Besides, I just graduated and have no practical experience. If I don't train myself at the grassroots level, I won't be able to learn anything."
The two chatted and laughed all the way until they reached Fang Qing's building, where Zhang Ting then remembered something.
"By the way, my birthday is next month, you must come, and apply for leave in advance."
After receiving Fang Qing's repeated assurances, Zhang Ting left with satisfaction.
