Chapter 128 The Domineering President’s Dad 7
Meng Xiaofan had never shopped with any man before, and even with these two men now, one of whom was her adopted father and the other was her younger brother, it still felt a bit weird.
When she was in college, it wasn't that she didn't go out and play with her roommates, but her money had to be saved for tuition and living expenses, so she had very little pocket money to spend.
Two of her roommates come from decent families, and the others, except her, come from ordinary families. But at least they don't have to worry about tuition and living expenses like she does. Even if they can't compare to rich families, it's enough for them to spend their money.
After going out with them, she spent several months' living expenses. From then on, she declined her roommates' invitations in the name of working. As a result, her relationship with other roommates was average and she didn't have any particularly close friends.
It's not that there are no male classmates pursuing her, but she is a very clear-headed person. For a child like her who came from an orphanage and who uses part of her salary to subsidize the orphanage every month, few male families can accept her.
Most couples who fall in love during school years will go their separate ways after graduation. Even if they can stay together until the end, the relationship will deteriorate with the chaos of life, leading to family conflicts, even one partner cheating, and finally divorce, and arguing over the children. This kind of life with a predictable end made her feel calm during her university years.
So, she has never gone shopping with any male friends.
Seeing that Meng Xiaofan was uncomfortable, Xiao Yan took Meng Xiaofan and Xiao Yihuang to the jewelry area.
"Although Lao Li has already arranged jewelry for you, you are still my daughter after all. I regret that as a father, I have not been able to participate in your life for the past 25 years. Today, consider it as a token of my father's love. You can choose whichever one you like. Don't be restrained."
When the salesperson at the counter heard this, he quickly stepped forward enthusiastically and said, "All our jewelry is the latest style."
She took out earrings and a necklace from the counter and placed them on the counter. "You can try this lotus agate bracelet. There are less than three of this kind in our city. The previous two have been bought, and now there is only one left."
Xiao Yan took a look and saw that the one the salesperson was talking about was made of imitation woven gold chain, with accessories made of small gold beads and lotus petals inlaid with gold and agate. This style of gold and red combination did not look old-fashioned. On the contrary, when worn on the wrist, it would make the skin look whiter than the skin tone.
Xiao Yan handed it to Meng Xiaofan: "Put it on and see."
Meng Xiaofan handed over the bracelet and the salesperson came over to help fasten it.
"Xiao Fan?"
Hearing the voice, Xiao Yan turned around and saw a sweet-looking girl holding the hand of a handsome young man. They must be a couple.
However, when this young man saw Meng Xiaofan, he subconsciously broke free from the girl's hand, and his eyes were full of Meng Xiaofan.
Xiao Yan: “…”
I have to say that the relationships among young people nowadays are really messy.
The girl was pushed away, her face turned ugly for a moment, then she pretended to be calm: "Xiao Fan, why are you here? Are you working?"
Meng Xiaofan looked up and saw that it was her college roommate. The young man standing next to her was the junior who had pursued her.
I remember that this roommate said a lot of bad things about the junior, how come the two of them are together now???
Meng Xiaofan: “…”
Meng Xiaofan maintained basic courtesy. After all, they were roommates, so there was no need to make things too awkward.
"Come out for a stroll with the family."
When the young girl heard this, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she exclaimed, "Family? Aren't you an orphan?!"
She covered her mouth, an apologetic look on her face: "I'm sorry, I don't mean any harm, I'm just a little curious. Didn't you grow up in an orphanage?"
"Xiao Fan, is this your classmate?" Xiao Yan asked.
Meng Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know how to explain it.
"Yes Dad, we used to be roommates."
The young girl looked at Xiao Yan, who exuded an aura of superiority, and was too obedient to cause trouble: "Hello, uncle, I'm Xiao Fan's roommate."
She pulled the young man who was staring at Meng Xiaofan intently and said, "This is my boyfriend."
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "My Xiaofan is quite simple. During college, I have to thank you roommates for taking care of me."
As he spoke, he glanced at the young man casually: "Why do you look familiar, kid? Is your father Fang Dongrui?"
The young man withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Yan, his heart suddenly skipping a beat.
Before he could speak, Xiao Yan raised his thin-rimmed gold glasses and said, "You are Fang Dongrui's fourth child, right? I remember you were engaged to the Xu family."
He looked at the young girl in disbelief and said, "You don't look like the daughter of the Xu family, do you? You just said he was your boyfriend? Did I make a mistake?"
Xiao Yihuang and Fang Dongrui are of the same generation. Although he studied at a famous domestic university and the younger man studied at an art college, they are in the business circle after all, so naturally he recognized this person.
He frowned: "Dad, you are not mistaken, he is Fang Jieyu."
Xiao Yihuang looked at Fang Jieyu with disdain, as if he had seen a stink bug, and stood in front of Meng Xiaofan: "You're already engaged, and you're still doing this? Does Sister Xu know about you doing this?"
Sister Xu's full name is Xu Jiahui. She is the only daughter and the only heir of the Xu family. Fang Jieyu is just a tool used for marriage arrangement.
In this marriage, the Fang family needed something from the Xu family, so they married their youngest son into the Xu family as a son-in-law. If Xu Jiahui knew about this, she would definitely dissolve the marriage.
All the Xu family needs is a man for reproduction. If it weren't for the favor that the old man of the Fang family had done to the Xu family during his lifetime, this marriage would not have happened. Otherwise, with the Fang family's limited assets, they would not have been able to climb up the big tree of the Xu family, not to mention that the Fang family is currently in trouble and is waiting for help from the Xu family.
Even so, Fang Jieyu still dares to play two women at the same time. I have to say that he is really bold.
Fang Jieyu's face turned pale: "Uncle Xiao, listen to me, this is a misunderstanding. She and I have nothing to do with each other. We are just ordinary friends."
"You're lying!" Xiao Yihuang argued, "You were holding hands just now. Would ordinary friends do that? And you already have a fiancée, yet you're holding hands with another woman while shopping. Haven't you considered what Sister Xu would think?"
Xiao Yan pretended to disagree and said, "Yihuang, this is where you're wrong. Even if you have a fiancée, or even a wife, can't you have female friends? Does getting married mean you have to sever ties with your old friends?"
"Don't you have a lot of female friends? If you get married, will you cut off all ties with them?"
Xiao Yihuang didn't understand why the topic had shifted to him, but he still argued, "It's different! They and I are just ordinary people. We're not engaged like him, holding hands with others while shopping, and even wearing matching outfits!"
"The clothes could be a coincidence, but if one of them accidentally sprained their ankle, it's not impossible that the other helped support them. How can you jump to such a conclusion?"
Xiao Yihuang was so anxious about Xiao Yan's twisted logic that his face turned red. He turned to look at Meng Xiaofan for help.
Meng Xiaofan knew that Xiao Yan was taking this opportunity to teach Xiao Yihuang a lesson, and he also showed a look of disapproval: "Little brother, you are prejudiced. Maybe they are just supporting each other."
Fang Jieyu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I just helped her, you really misunderstood..."
Before he could finish saying the word "misunderstanding", he was slapped by the young girl.
As if that wasn't enough, he slapped me twice more.
"I'll go and support your whole family!"
Fang Jieyu looked at his girlfriend, who was usually gentle and considerate but had suddenly turned into a fierce warrior, with his eyes filled with astonishment and shock.
She actually dared to hit him! ?
Not only did the young girl dare to hit him, she also spat at him.
"Your father! You failed to pursue Xiaofan, so you turned to pursue me. I'm a very vain person, and you're really good-looking, so I agreed. Just now, when you saw Xiaofan, your eyes were glued to him. I didn't want to say anything. After all, Xiaofan is really good. Being with you is nothing special for me. But not only do you have a fiancée, you keep denying our relationship, and now you want to get away with it?"
"I'll go to hell with your Spring and Autumn Dream!"
The young girl looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Uncle, he's really a playboy and a promiscuous person. Please tell the girl he's engaged to that Fang Jieyu is a piece of shit! She must be very careful about getting married!"
"Dad, did you hear that? I'm different from him! He is a playboy and amorous, but I'm really just an ordinary friend to them!" Xiao Yihuang was afraid that his father would confuse him with Fang Jieyu.
Xiao Yan looked at Fang Jieyu in disappointment, and said bitterly, "I didn't expect you to be such a person! I'm sorry I even tried to explain it for you!"
"I'll talk to Lao Xu about this. You'll take care of yourself!"
Xiao Yan said to Meng Xiaofan, who was embarrassed at the side, "Do you want to go play with your roommate?"
Meng Xiaofan: “…”
Ah, in such an embarrassing situation, how could her father let her continue playing with her roommates as if nothing had happened?
The young girl was also embarrassed after she finished speaking.
She did harbor some ill will towards Meng Xiaofan because Meng Xiaofan was an orphan. Not only did he not have any inferiority complex, but he also lived a freer life than her and was very popular with men.
She has a strong competitive spirit. Because they are roommates, she unilaterally believes that she is living under the shadow of Meng Xiaofan in college. So when Fang Jieyu turns around and pursues him, she agrees without hesitation. This makes her feel secretly and shamefully complacent.
Now, facing the jealous and disgusted Meng Xiaofan, she didn't know what to say.
"Well, I have something else to do. Let's talk another day."
After a pause, she said seriously, "By the way, congratulations on finding your family."
She thought Xiao Yan was Meng Xiaofan's biological father, who had just been found. However, Meng Xiaofan's father looked really young, and he actually had two children this old.
"Xiao Fan is my adopted daughter, and he is also my adopted son." Xiao Yan pointed at Xiao Yihuang and explained.
Because some people have smeared the word "godfather", giving it a negative connotation to the public. The young girl's first reaction was the same, but when she heard about the adopted son and how the three of them were interacting, she felt that she had been influenced by those people and had developed bad thoughts.
She said embarrassedly, "I see."
The scene was very awkward for a while.
"Tomorrow is Xiaofan's family reunion banquet. Can you come with us then?"
The young girl knew that she and Meng Xiaofan were not friends at all, so she declined politely, "I have something to do tomorrow and can't make it. Xiaofan, I'm leaving first. We'll contact each other another day."
