Chapter 39: 037 Ambition Begins to Show Chapter 39: 037 Ambition Begins to Show Fang ngyao sensed the hostility of the Fang Family, and ntally took note of it. However, she didn’t take their hostility to heart. In her view, with the ga upgrade system she possessed, the Fang Family wasn’t even qualified to be her opponent. The only thing she cared about was the set of jade that Fang Yuxin held in her hands.
When Fang Jintang brought out the Jade, the ga system had prompted her——[A Jade Bracelet with mysterious functions has been detected. It is recomnded to acquire it. Accept mission?]She accepted the mission at the ti but didn’t expect that Fang Yuxin would refuse to part with it, causing her to miss out on the mission reward. And that Jade Bracelet with mysterious functions had been of particular concern to her.
Originally, she had planned to seize the opportunity during the apocalypse to get her hands on the items from the Fang Family. However, the Fang Family had moved ahead of ti, making her trip in vain! This ti, she had to get ahold of that bracelet no matter what! The only question was, where had Fang Yuxin hidden it, and had she discovered the mysterious function of the bracelet? What exactly was that mysterious function?
But that wasn’t urgent. What was most important at the mont was to figure out the identity of this child and make Qiu Yiming give up on her for good! She would never allow a man whom she desired to have another woman in his heart!
Therefore, Fang ngyao deliberately exclaid, “You… What did you just call Sister Xin? Are you really Sister Xin’s son?” At this point, she intentionally looked at Fang Yuxin, “Sister Xin, what on earth is going on? How could you… how could you have such a grown son? And where is the child’s father?” At this, she glanced specifically at Qiu Yiming, and saw his expression growing increasingly grim.
Qiu Yiming’s reaction confird Fang ngyao’s guess — the child wasn’t Qiu Yiming’s son! This made Fang ngyao feel extrely smug. Since Fang Yuxin had such a grown son, it didn’t matter who the child’s father was. As long as it wasn’t Qiu Yiming, there was no future for her and Qiu Yiming! Even if Qiu Yiming still liked her, the Qiu Family would never accept soone like Fang Yuxin with such an indiscreet behavior as their daughter-in-law!
Fang ngyao’s understanding of Fang Yuxin and the Fang Family was too limited; she subconsciously assud that Bai Qianqian was the child Fang Yuxin had with another man, without ever considering the possibility that Bai Qianqian was conceived through IVF!
She surveyed the house and spoke again, aningfully saying, “Dad, why didn’t you tell about the move? I went to the old house to find you guys, and there was no one there, I was so worried. If I hadn’t run into Brother Yi Ming on the way, I wouldn’t have known you moved here.”
Her remarks were intentionally ant for Qiu Yiming to hear, to let him see the true colors of the Fang Family. However, she didn’t know that Qiu Yiming was not like the n she had read about in novels or seen in TV dramas; he wasn’t so simple-minded as to feel pity for her just because of her words.
Fang Yuxin looked at Fang ngyao with a half-smile, no longer willing to give her face, and directly said, “Fang ngyao, you sold your own house, sneaked off, and even turned off your phone. Dad made dozens of calls to you without any getting through. And now you have the audacity to say such things!”
Fang ngyao hadn’t expected Fang Yuxin to bring up the matter of her selling the house, and her heart panicked instantly, subconsciously glancing at Qiu Yiming. She rembered telling Qiu Yiming that her house had been sold and she had nowhere to go! She quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she looked, as Qiu Yiming’s expression had not changed, he must have forgotten what she said offhandedly at the ti.
In fact, Qiu Yiming had long known that Fang ngyao sold her house herself. Right after they parted, he had soone check, and quickly found out. He could see that Fang ngyao was interested in him but had little affection for the Fang Family, and deliberately blackened the Fang Family’s na in front of him.
Although he didn’t like the woman nad Fang ngyao, he was still a man; there was no need to get entangled with Fang ngyao over a trivial matter. Besides, he wanted to unravel the secrets Fang ngyao was hiding. It was best to pretend he knew nothing for now to avoid raising her suspicions.
Yet Fang ngyao naively thought that Qiu Yiming had not noticed the lies she had told. After thinking it over, she pretended to be oblivious and looked at Fang Jintang with feigned surprise, “Daddy? You… you really called ?”
Fang Jintang nodded, his face expressionless as he asked her, “Why has your phone been off all this ti?”
Of course, Fang ngyao wouldn’t tell Fang Jintang she felt guilty for selling the house and had changed her SIM card. She took the money and secretly went out of town to procure supplies. She had long since discarded the old SIM card and couldn’t possibly have received Fang Jintang’s calls. She couldn’t tell the truth, so she said, “Daddy, I really didn’t an it. I was feeling down recently and went out of town to clear my head. Unexpectedly, soone stole my phone.”
As soon as she said this, Fang Yuyang scoffed coldly, “Even if your phone was stolen, you could have chosen to keep your old number. Why didn’t you? Also, why did you sell the house? You sold it and vanished without a word. Don’t you think you owe Daddy an explanation?”
Fang ngyao, of course, couldn’t respond. She glared at Fang Yuyang, her eyes gradually reddening, tears flickering in them as if she had suffered a great injustice. Her voice carried a sob, “Big brother, I know you’ve never liked , but I never imagined that after all the trouble I went through to find you, not only would I not feel the warmth of family, but I would also be questioned! What have I done wrong to be treated like this by you all?”
She broke into tears, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Fang Jintang, “Daddy, do you also not welco ? If that’s the case, I can leave right now!”
Fang Jintang didn’t say a word but sighed, his disappointnt in Fang ngyao deepening. He had lived so many years and seen all kinds of people; Fang ngyao’s little tactics were nothing to him, and he could see right through her guilty conscience. Seeing Qiu Yiming standing to one side and knowing he had witnessed everything only worsened Fang Jintang’s mood.
Qiu Yiming felt sowhat embarrassed. After all, he was an outsider and it wasn’t his place to interfere in the Fang family’s affairs. Yet he had witnessed everything, and Fang ngyao had co with him! After so thought, he decided this couldn’t continue and said, “Uncle, Auntie, Yu Yang, and Xinxin, I actually ca here not just to check if you were all okay, but also to tell you sothing.”
He paused and then looked at Fang ngyao, “Xiao Yao, you were wrong in this matter. Please apologize to Uncle.”
Fang ngyao was actually panicking inside. She had said what she did, thinking it would make Fang Jintang back down, but he had remained silent, leaving her no way to wrap things up. So when Qiu Yiming spoke, she gratefully glanced at him and followed the out he had given her, obediently saying, “Daddy, I truly realize my mistake.”
