Now that he thought about it rationally, capable won were really quite attractive despite giving off a suppressive air. Forget it. It did not matter what he thought now. Not only had he divorced Xu Shengnan, but the house had also been sold. The buyer had requested that he move out of the house within three days.
“You... wait a minute.” Mother Fang’s expression changed drastically and she rushed into what used to be Fang Ling Ling’s room. Then, she took out a photo from the room and passed it over to Fang Shiyou. “Shiyou, look at this. This young lady is the spitting image of that female minister on TV that you talked about. Don’t they look like identical twins?”
Fang Shiyou frowned and took the photo over from his mother. “What do you an by identical twins? This is that female minister. Wait, that’s not right. Why do you have her photo? And why did Ling Ling take a photo with this female minister? When did this happen? Why don’t I know about this?”
Suddenly seeing his daughter standing with a central committee cadre to take a photo almost shocked Fang Shiyou out of his wits. “Ling Ling has quite the luck to be able to et a national cadre in tuition class!”
At this mont, Mother Fang could not even force a smile out. “Ling Ling indeed has better luck than what you said. Ling Ling didn’t et this female cadre by chance. Ling Ling ets this female cadre a few tis a year and has quite a good relationship with her. Otherwise, we definitely would not have such a photo at ho. Most importantly, I know that all the photos in the phone that Xu Shengnan bought for Ling Ling are of her and this female cadre!”
Oh, my goodness! What kind of treasure had the Fang family given up?
If they had known about this earlier, there was no way she would have allowed her son to get divorced from Xu Shengnan and even let her granddaughter follow Xu Shengnan. Since Ling Ling had such a good relationship with this female cadre, she definitely would have a good career progression in the future. She might even follow in this female cadre’s footsteps and join the central committee. She wouldn’t exchange such a granddaughter for even ten grandsons!
A grandson could carry on the family line, but Ling Ling would be able to bring the Fang family to even greater heights!
“Ling Ling ets this female cadre a few tis a year and her phone is full of photos with this female cadre? How is that possible? Mom, what’s going on? Do you know what you’re saying?” Fang Shiyou’s face paled. He suddenly realized that he knew so little about Xu Shengnan and Fang Ling Ling.
Otherwise, why had he never heard about anything his mother was saying? If he had known that his daughter had such a good relationship with such an important figure, he would never have let his relationship with Xu Shengnan deteriorate to today’s state so much so that he had even lost the house.
Mother Fang let out a smile that was worse than crying. “Doesn’t Xu Shengnan have a junior whom she’s very close to in the capital? I heard our ex-in-laws talk about it before. The reason why Xu Shengnan was able to secure such a good job was all thanks to her junior. Every holiday, Xu Shengnan will bring Ling Ling to visit that junior. This young lady in the photo is Xu Shengnan’s junior and Ling Ling calls her Auntie Qiao.”
She had known that Xu Shengnan’s junior had recomnded her into the job. Otherwise, there was no way Mother Fang could have stayed silent without scolding Xu Shengnan every ti Xu Shengnan visited her junior with her hands full of gifts. There were not many relatives, let alone juniors, who would be able to recomnd others such a job.
But Mother Fang had never expected that the junior not only had the ability to help Xu Shengnan enter such a good company but was even a national cadre living on governnt salary herself! She was a high-ranking important figure!
“She... she’s Xu Shengnan’s junior?” Fang Shiyou heard a buzz and felt as though his head was about to explode. As soone who had slept beside Xu Shengnan for years, Fang Shiyou was all too clear about how close Xu Shengnan was to that junior of hers.
That was because the first ti Xu Shengnan ntioned her junior, her tone was filled with gratitude. Other than that, Xu Shengnan had never described in detail what her junior did, who her family was, or what her background was like. After a while, Fang Shiyou simply assud that Xu Shengnan had a close friendship with this junior during her university days.
But who knew that the truth would be so surprising and sad at the sa ti.
“I guess so.” Mother Fang was reluctant to accept the truth too. “I just know that there are many photos of this lady in Ling Ling’s phone.” The first ti she saw this photo, she was shocked that Xu Shengnan had such a beautiful junior. No matter how she looked at it, these two did not match each other. They did not seem to have much in common.
Fang Shiyou was almost speechless. “Mom, why didn’t you tell about this earlier?”
He knew that Xu Shengnan was very grateful to this junior. Although they had graduated almost ten years ago, they had always kept in contact. As such, one could only imagine how close Xu Shengnan was with this Minister Qiao. This was really...
Mother Fang was aggrieved. “I only knew that she was Xu Shengnan’s junior. I didn’t know that this young lady was so impressive!” If she had known about it, would she have nagged at her son daily to get a divorce from Xu Shengnan and to have a grandson?”
She had been so arrogant in the past because she knew that the Xu family did not have many friends or family in the capital. If anything happened and they caused a ruckus, the Fang family would not be at a disadvantage. Had she known that Xu Shengnan had such powerful friends, she would have treated Xu Shengnan like a god.
“You didn’t know?” Fang Shiyou really wanted to bow to his mother. What kind of monster was his mother? “Although she has only been the minister of foreign affairs for a short while, she’s been in the news quite frequently! She’s even been on international news a couple of tis! She’s not a new face at all!”
“I didn’t use to like watching the news in the past! I’ve never even watched any of those international channels...” Why would she watch a bunch of people speaking in a language she did not understand?
The truth was often so unexpected, even causing the desire for death. Fang Shiyou said with a wry smile, “No wonder. I was wondering why Xu Shengnan was initially reluctant to get a divorce and even tried to salvage our marriage. But after she took a trip to the capital, she changed her mind and declared that we had to get a divorce. After that, she even produced so much evidence of cheating on her. She had such a powerful person backing her up! I’m just a commoner. How could I win against Xu Shengnan? No wonder...”
