âCan Aunt Fang agree to that?â Jiang Wei felt that Fang Pingjue was too ruthless.
Jiang Jie snorted and said, âNo woman has ever made the decision in a family like ours.â
Jiang Wei remained silent.
Thatâs right. Although Aunt Fang is also the daughter of a wealthy family, these years, the Xu family has gradually declined and the Fang family has flourished. Aunt Fang is also a full-time housewife, so her words canât hold their ground.
Jiang Wei heard Jiang Jie continue, âYuqing committed suicide probably because she could not get over the hurdle in her heart. Now, sheâs been saved, but she will have to marry Young Master Xu. Her life is most likely ruined.â
Jiang Weiâs heart ached when he thought that a cute and bright girl like Fang Yuqing would be depressed for the rest of her life.
***
âI told you! I donât know who that person is.â
After being interrogated again, Fang Yuqing still refused to admit who the childâs father was.
Whatâs the use of admitting it?
Marry Hu Cheng?
Or watch Father mess with Hu Cheng?
Hu Cheng was a scumbag. Fang Yuqing had been young and blind to have chosen the wrong person. She accidentally had a child. Now that she already had the child aborted, what was the use of bringing up Hu Cheng?
Fang Yuqing only wished that she would never have anything to do with Hu Cheng again in this lifetime.
When Fang Pingjue heard Fang Yuqingâs answer, he could not help but snort.
âThen youâve agreed to marry Young Master Xu?â
Fang Yuqing added, âNo.â She did not plan to get married in this lifetime.
âItâs not up to you to marry or not.â Fang Pingjue told her the cruel truth. âYouâre now a withered flower that everyone in Binjiang City knows about. Who else do you think will want you? If Young Master Xu is willing to marry you, you will at least have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life. You will be prosperous.â As a father, it was indeed a little cruel to say that his daughter was a withered flower.
But no one could deny that this was reality.
Fang Yuqingâs reputation was ruined.
She was too embarrassed to go back to school.
Tears gradually filled Fang Yuqingâs eyes, but she did not cry. She stubbornly stared at Fang Pingjue and firmly said, âDad, donât make that decision. I wonât marry Young Master Xu.â Young Master Xu was a playboy. Marrying him was just jumping into another deep pit.
Besides, being someone elseâs stepmother was not the life she wanted.
Fang Pingjue scolded her, âYou donât have a choice in your current situation!â
Fang Yuqing was speechless.
She turned her head and looked out of the window. Her mood was gray.
âIn that case, why did you save me?â
Fang Yuqingâs words made Fang Pingjue even angrier. âYou kill yourself so easily. Who do you think youâre scaring? The person dying is you, and the one hurting the most is you!
âYou really donât want to say that personâs name, right?â Fang Pingjue took a deep breath and said, âIâll call Young Master Xu now and ask him to come and see you.â
Fang Yuqingâs face turned pale.
âDonât you dare!â
Xu Pingfei, who had rushed to the hospital with nourishing soup, instantly became fierce when she heard Fang Pingjueâs words. She walked over and snatched Fang Pingjueâs phone. Fang Pingjueâs eyebrows jumped. âWhat are you doing!â
Xu Pingfei threw away the phone and looked up at Fang Pingjue with a fearless gaze. She said, âFang Pingjue, you stinky men are all half-hearted. If I didnât have a choice back then, would I have married you? Do you think itâs really easy to be a stepmother and look at peopleâs expressions at all times?â
She pointed at her chest and continued, âEver since the day I, Xu Pingfei, married you, I havenât been happy a single day! I had no choice but to marry you, Fang Pingjue. Today, Iâll say this. You want my daughter to marry a man whoâs useless like you? Dream on!â
Fang Pingjue had never seen Xu Pingfei so fierce with her words.
He looked at Xu Pingfei in disbelief as if he did not know this person.
His wife had always been gentle and dignified. When had she been so sharp?
They had been husband and wife for decades. How could he be so pathetic in her eyes?
Qiao Jiusheng, who had come with Xu Pingfei, silently stood outside the door. When she heard what Xu Pingfei had said, she could not help but look at her in a different light.
Sheâs really amazing. It turns out that this woman also dares to bare her fangs at Fang Pingjue.
Qiao Jiusheng smiled and looked up. From the corner of her eye, she saw a young man walking over.
She turned her head and recognized him.
âYoung Master Jiang Wei?â
Two days ago, when Fang Yuqing had attempted suicide, everyone had been in a mess. Qiao Jiusheng had not paid attention to Jiang Wei, but she vaguely remembered that he was also there. Seeing him again, she asked Jiang Wei in surprise, âAre you here to see Yuqing?â
Jiang Wei nodded and asked her, âHow is she today?â
âSheâs alive.â
âThatâs good.â
The two of them stood outside the door. At this moment, Jiang Wei heard Xu Pingfei scolding Fang Pingjue in the ward.
He felt awkward as if he had come at the wrong time.
âNo one will want her! Itâs not like youâre unaware of how horrible peopleâs words are. Do you know what they say about Yuqing?â Fang Pingjue looked at the fierce woman in front of him. His eyes were half helpless and half angry. âThey say that since Yuqing ended up with an abortion before sheâs even an adult, she would still be as improper when she gets married in the future.
âThey say, âCuckolding is easy. Worse, she might even be ungrateful and use their money to buy a pretty boy!â
âSome even said that marrying her would be an insult to their family values!
âItâs already like this! Who will still be willing to marry her in the future?â Fang Pingjue also didnât want to marry Fang Yuqing to Young Master Xu. However, he was afraid that by the time Fang Yuqing reached the age of marriage, even a playboy like Young Master Xu would not want her.
