"I'm sorry, I didn't expect... that he would bring so much harm to your family."
He Zhenting apologized to her with great guilt.
Fang Youning hugged him and said, "I know this is not your fault. You don't have to apologize for him. He is him, you are you, and you are innocent."
"But they may not think so. Ningning, what are you going to do about this matter?"
He Zhenting also hugged her tightly and asked in a low voice.
Feng Cheng is no longer a simple opponent, he is Fang Youning's biological brother.
With this relationship, he had to be cautious when dealing with the city lockdown.
And what he is most worried about now is that Feng Cheng will use this relationship to make her leave him.
"Didn't I tell you that I would never leave you no matter what?" Fang Youning let go of him and solemnly promised again.
"We agreed that no matter what happens, we will not break up."
...
...
He Zhenting held her hand and spoke seriously.
Fang Youning nodded and said, "Of course, we agreed not to go back on our word. Anyone who goes back on his word is a puppy."
He Zhenting chuckled and touched his forehead to hers.
However, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Fang Youning also thought of the same question that he thought of.
But no one dared to say it out loud.
After sending Fang Youning home, He Zhenting left again.
He changed his flight ticket to the afternoon, but before leaving, he went to meet Ding Lutong again.
Seeing Ding Lutong, He Zhenting asked with a frown.
"Why didn't you tell me that she asked you to do the appraisal?"
Ding Lutong looked at him in surprise and asked, "You know everything?"
He Zhenting nodded.
Ding Lutong apologized awkwardly, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that your little Heilian has been begging me not to tell you about this, and she said it was all for your own good. Of course, I didn't agree to her begging me. But she said it was for your own good, so I hesitated. You know, in our relationship, I definitely side with you, and I helped her out of your face. And at the beginning, I really didn't know whose hair she took for the test. It was only when the test results came out and I knew yours was included that I asked her."
"You know but you don't plan to tell me?" He Zhenting asked again with a sullen face.
Ding Lutong sighed and explained, "I don't know how to tell you. You and Feng Cheng have a life-and-death relationship in the business world. And now he has transformed himself into your brother-in-law. How can I tell you?"
"Ningning said that for my sake, she could choose not to recognize them," said He Zhenting.
"So affectionate? But do you want her to do this?" Ding Lutong asked.
He Zhenting was silent.
Ding Lutong patted his shoulder in understanding and said, "I know you must be worried. Sooner or later, they will recognize each other. In fact, this matter is not unsolvable. Your father made a mistake, so you should take the initiative to admit it. They are your mother-in-law and brother-in-law. At most, you can kneel down and admit your mistakes, accept the beating and punishment. Your daughter is with you, so she won't want to kill you. If both sides resolve the conflict, she can also recognize her relatives. Isn't it a happy ending?"
"Qiao Yu's death may be related to Mrs. Feng." He Zhenting said in a low voice.
Ding Lutong was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
He Zhenting took a deep breath and explained in a low voice: "I suspect that Zhao Yunya is Mrs. Feng's person. When my father attacked me, I always felt that this matter was very abrupt. He suddenly attacked me inexplicably, and there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames. At first I suspected it was Wu Zhenxing, but I talked to Wu Zhenxing about this matter later, and she had nothing to do with it. I have been unable to figure out the reason all these years, and now..."
"Do you think it has something to do with Mrs. Feng? But she didn't show up a few years ago. How could she have fanned the flames and made your father attack you? And can you believe what Wu Zhenxing said? That woman is insidious and cunning, and she is full of lies. Maybe she is lying to you?" Ding Lutong said.
"So, if I want to figure out these things, I have to meet Zhao Yunya and ask her in person."
"Mr. He, you have to think it over carefully. Are you really going to meet Zhao Yunya? If it is really as you guessed, can you let go of what Mrs. Feng did and let go of your hatred for Qiao Yu?" Ding Lutong asked seriously with a frown.
They even didn't call him by his name, but just called him Mr. He.
He Zhenting certainly understood what he meant.
But there are some things he must figure out.
These things have been lingering in his mind for five years, and he cannot feel at ease until he gets to the bottom of them.
"Well, now that you've decided, just do it!"
Ding Lutong saw that he had made up his mind, so of course he supported him as a friend.
"If anything happens to her after I'm gone, please help me take care of her," said He Zhenting.
Ding Lutong sneered and said, "With your little Black Lotus's fighting power, do you still need me to take care of her? But if something happens, I will definitely not stand idly by."
He Zhenting patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Ding Lutong looked at his back, sighed and shook his head.
He really couldn't understand why people had to get to the bottom of things.
Isn’t it good to be a little confused?
He was really afraid that if things got traced back to him, it would eventually be traced back to him.
He had promised his father that he would never tell him a word of the secret.
After He Zhenting left, Fang Youning was not idle at home either.
She called Feng Cheng again and asked him to meet to talk about what they hadn't finished discussing before.
This time, the two met at a cafe in the city.
Since everyone who should know already knows, there is no need to hide and waste time. It is better to meet openly.
After Feng Cheng entered the private room, he saw that she looked normal, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Fang Youning saw his relieved expression and asked doubtfully, "You don't think he will hit me, do you?"
Feng Cheng looked grim, and said solemnly: "The men in the He family have defects in their genes. They are cruel, impulsive, and violent, so it is not impossible for them to take action."
If she didn't contact him, he would call her to make sure she was safe.
"You think too much. He Zhenting doesn't have these defects. He is steady, mature, elegant and gentle. He is a very good man." Fang Youning said proudly.
"That's because he hasn't shown any symptoms yet. Genetic defects are irreversible. Ningning, don't be silly. Don't gamble your life's happiness on a fact that can't be changed." Feng Cheng advised her.
"stop."
Fang Youning stopped talking and said, "Let's not talk about this topic, let's go back to the topic we didn't finish talking about before. I'm sorry and sad about what happened to your aunt and you. But, that's all the grudges of the previous generation. He Hongchang is already in your hands. You can take revenge in any way you want, and I support it. But can you please not involve the grudges of the previous generation into the next generation? He Zhenting is innocent. If he can choose, he doesn't want to be He Hongchang's son."
"But he has no choice, and we have no choice either, right?" Feng Cheng said.
"How can there be no choice?" Fang Youning said, "Of course there is a choice. He Hongchang is dead, and all the grudges are gone. From now on, we can put aside our hatred and turn hostility into friendship."
"Turning hostility into friendship? Ha, Ningning, you think too naively." Feng Cheng said.
"I am naive. Just think of it as doing it for me, okay?" Fang Youning asked pleadingly.
Feng Cheng said: "Mother won't agree. You have no idea how much she hated you over the years. In fact, your temper and personality are very similar to your mother's. You are exactly the same as hers. So you can imagine, if you were your mother, could you let it go?"
"I can't let go, so that forces me to make a choice. But I will choose him. If you insist on being his enemy, I can only stand against you."
Fang Youning lowered her eyes and said sadly.
Feng Cheng frowned and asked angrily, "Do you really have to be in love? You are so smart, you should know that being in love will not end well."
"I know the consequences of being in love, but I'm not in love. You have no idea what he and I have been through, and you are not qualified to comment on our relationship." Fang Youning took a deep breath and said calmly.
Feng Cheng continued to persuade patiently: "But are you sure that He Zhenting really likes you? Maybe he is as perverted as his father, just because of your face..."
"I know very well whether he likes me or not. There is no doubt about it. You don't have to try to sow discord between them."
Fang Youning interrupted him coldly before he could finish.
The city lockdown is so frustrating.
He had never been so frustrated when negotiating with others. He didn't expect that the first person who made him feel invulnerable would be his own sister?
"Even if we can let go of our hatred, can He Zhenting let it go?" Feng Cheng asked again.
After asking, he paused for a moment and snorted coldly, "I know where he went, and I know who he went to see. Didn't he go there because he suspected something that happened five years ago? Ningning, it's not just us who can't let it go, he can't let it go either."
"So, does what happened back then have anything to do with you?" Fang Youning asked.
She also wanted to know about this matter, so she asked him to meet again so quickly.
Before she could ask, he brought it up first.
"Do you want to know?" Feng Cheng asked.
Fang Youning said, "Nonsense, if I didn't want to know, I wouldn't have come to see you."
"This matter was planned by my mother. If you want to know, come with me to see her," Feng Cheng said.
Fang Youning was stunned, and said with a panicked expression: "Didn't you say that you didn't plan to tell her about this for the time being?"
"I didn't intend to tell her, but you were so determined and refused to leave He Zhenting no matter what. What else can I do? Mother thinks about you day and night and dreams of finding you. Although you can't satisfy her when she finds you, it's better for her to give up completely than to think about you day and night and hurt herself physically and mentally."
"Are you so sure that she will give up on me?" Fang Youning muttered softly.
Feng Cheng said: "I'm not sure, so I want to give it a try. If you can convince your mother to let it go, I am certainly willing to let go of my hatred for you."
"Okay, I'll go see her."
Fang Youning's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately.
In her opinion, women are more emotional than men after all.
Since she wanted to find her so much, she pleaded with her. Perhaps because of the relationship between mother and daughter, they are willing to put aside their hatred and turn hostility into friendship.
