Liu Qingmei had only been in Ordinary Balance for a little over a year and now that the rent was about to expire, she was preparing to buy a house. Today, she finally had a month off and came to look at houses. She never thought that she would run into Tang Zheng and Fang Shishi.
She was not in a hurry to greet them and instead deliberately hid in a corner to observe the two. She was very curious as to why they were looking at a house. It couldn't be that they were going to live together so quickly.
Even if they were living together, they couldn't possibly buy a house.
Therefore, she planned to wait and see what the two were going to do. She never thought that she would see such an unforeseen event and be stunned.
When she heard Fang Chongguo say that he was going to gift a house to Tang Zheng, Liu Qingmei's eyebrows knitted together. The words of a rich person were not as simple as the literal meaning.
Moreover, Fang Chongguo was one of the board members of Peng Cheng International School. She had heard that he was not a kind person who would casually gift a house to someone.
Moreover, it was rumored that the Fang family was very opposed to the relationship between Tang Zheng and Fang Shishi. This could be seen from She Mengqin's reaction just now.
But the key was Fang Chongguo's attitude. Why did he tempt Tang Zheng with benefits? Liu Qingmei did not think that Fang Chongguo was bored enough to tease Tang Zheng. It was very clear that Fang Chongguo was serious.
She could not understand all of this.
Tang Zheng also could not understand, but he understood the other party. This change from arrogance to respect was too great, causing him to be somewhat on guard. He lightly said: "I appreciate your good intentions, but I have the money to buy a house myself."
"Don't misunderstand, I really want to gift it to you. I also have a house here in Upper Wind Mountain that has been renovated a long time ago. Now that I'm giving it to you, it can be considered as making the best use of it and not wasting it." Seeing Tang Zheng refuse, Fang Chongguo was secretly astonished and began to value him even more.
If he was able to withstand this kind of temptation, was he still a normal person?
What he did not know was that Tang Zheng was taught by his grandfather to not accept a reward without any effort. Of course, he would not accept the other party's gift for no reason.
Fang Shishi looked at her father curiously, but she didn't think too much about it. She just thought that her father was trying to ease his relationship with Tang Zheng, which was what she looked forward to the most.
Therefore, she tugged at Tang Zheng's hand and whispered, "My father means well. Just accept it."
"This kindness is too precious." Tang Zheng refused. He always felt that Fang Chongguo's change was a little strange. If it was because of the last meal, it would not have been delayed until now.
All in all, Tang Zheng would not accept this kind of kindness without knowing the ins and outs of the matter.
When the saleswoman saw Tang Zheng reject her, she really wanted to say that if you don't want to give it to me, I will definitely go crazy with joy. However, she also looked at Tang Zheng even more curiously.
Tang Zheng had become the center of attention, but he didn't show the slightest difference. He just looked at Fang Chongguo thoughtfully.
Fang Chongguo had a troubled look on his face. He thought for a moment and said, "Tang Zheng, can you come out and talk to me alone?"
"Okay." Tang Zheng agreed.
"Shishi, look after your mother." Fang Chongguo ordered.
Fang Shishi nodded and gave Tang Zheng an encouraging look. She whispered, "Have a good talk with my father. I don't think he is against our relationship anymore. You have to seize this opportunity."
Tang Zheng nodded calmly and followed Fang Chongguo out of the sales hall. Fang Chongguo took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a deep breath and saw Tang Zheng come over. He passed the cigarette to him, but Tang Zheng shook his head and refused.
"It's good that you don't smoke. Smoking is bad for your health." Fang Chongguo put the cigarette back in his pocket. His eyes narrowed slightly as he hid behind the light smoke. His expression was somewhat dignified.
Tang Zheng also chose to remain silent and looked into the distance.
"Do you really like my daughter?" Fang Chongguo blew out a smoke ring and finally spoke.
Tang Zheng nodded heavily, "I really do."
Fang Chongguo looked at him through the smoke ring and said, "I haven't seen a young man like you in many years. Persistent and fearless. It is difficult for outside people or things to affect your decisions."
Tang Zheng's lips curled up slightly. "Perhaps this is my temper. I can't change it."
"You have to know that we are Shishi's parents. The matter between the two of you will ultimately require our approval."
Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Fang Chongguo. He did not say a word and seemed to be thinking about what to say.
In that moment, Fang Chongguo saw many things in his swollen eyes. There was a little frivolity and a strong confidence. This confidence was something that even he did not have.
In the end, humans would always have fear and scruples. Therefore, although he kept saying that he was confident, it was very difficult for him to really be confident. However, Fang Chongguo could see that confidence in his pair of black eyes.
Tang Zheng did not seem to take the difficulty that Fang Chongguo mentioned seriously. It was as if he could do it if he wanted to.
Fang Chongguo had to admit that he was shaken by his pair of eyes.
Of course, he did not know where Tang Zheng's confidence came from. His confidence came from the secrets he possessed. He was already a cultivator and compared to mortals, he was a person from a different world.
Although his cultivation was not very high, his horizons were already extraordinary. This was definitely not because he was looking at the top of his head or biting off more than he could chew.
"The matter between me and Shishi, I will always believe that it is between the two of us. Even if others have a little opinion, as long as the two of us do not have any opinion, then this matter will not be a problem." Tang Zheng said softly. He was not in a rush, but his confidence was truly emitted.
Fang Chongguo took a deep breath. Only now did he truly face Tang Zheng. He also understood why Lin Hu and Fire Phoenix valued him so much. He really had the ability to match them.
"But if her family does not object, then wouldn't this matter be icing on the cake?" Fang Chongguo asked.
Tang Zheng did not comment.
"Moreover, Shishi will care about our attitude. If you really like her, then you should care about her feelings, don't you think so?"
Tang Zheng could not deny that with Fang Shishi's personality, she would ultimately care about her parents' attitude.
"So before, I tried to make you accept her, but you ignored me." Tang Zheng did not know why the other party had changed so much today. Since the other party had mentioned this point, he might as well open up the problem.
"That's right. In the past, we did ignore you and even provoked you, but it's undeniable that parents want their daughters to have a good home. With the conditions you showed in the past, of course, we thought that you and Shishi are not suitable."
"A good home?" Tang Zheng snorted, "Your so-called good home is money and power? Have you ever thought about the opinion of the person involved? Does she like money or power? You might say that when she is a little older, she will understand your good intentions, but I want to say that this is all bullshit. "
Tang Zheng and Tian Chanzi had been together for a long time, and occasionally liked to spew out one or two vulgarities.
"When two people are together, the most important thing is that they like each other. External conditions are secondary. Only when the heart is the same, then they will truly be together. Moreover, if a man truly loves a woman, he will not be lazy, but will do everything possible to make her happy. Therefore, in the end, this woman will obtain love and material things together, and will not become a puppet enslaved by material things."
"Boy, well said. I did not expect you to have a talent for speech." Tian Chanzi excitedly praised. If he was given a pair of hands, he would definitely clap until his palms turned red.
Fang Chongguo looked at him in a daze and muttered: "I did not expect you to have so many life experiences at such a young age. You are not simple. I have already seen you in a new light, so things will change. I will not stop you and Shishi from doing things together. Let nature take its course."
These words were not perfunctory words to Tang Zheng, but the truth. In the past, he opposed Tang Zheng because he felt that Tang Zheng could not bring happiness to his daughter. But now, this was no longer a problem, so why not consider his daughter's feelings?
It has to be said that the success of Fang Chongguo's business was not by chance, and it was inseparable from his ability to make decisions.
Since he recognized Tang Zheng's ability, then he would choose to make the corresponding decision.
Tang Zheng looked at him in astonishment. Only now did he properly examine the other party. Although he and She Mengqin were husband and wife, they were not the same type of people. She Mengqin really despised the poor and loved the rich, but Fang Chongguo clearly had more inner qualities.
"Thank you, I will treat Shishi well." Tang Zheng solemnly promised. This was a man's promise, and it would never change.
Fang Chongguo smiled, and with a flick of his finger, the extinguished cigarette flew into the trash can, "Today I have said so much to you, so I am a lot more relaxed. But I still have to tell you one thing in advance, so that in the future you won't think that I am two-faced and deliberately playing tricks."
"What is it?"
"After Shishi graduates, she will go abroad to study. This is something that I have already arranged, and it is not because of you. I hope you can understand."
Fang Chongguo was speaking the truth.
"Go abroad?" Tang Zheng was startled. Going abroad was something that was unattainable for him in the past, so he had never thought about it.
But Peng Cheng International School had many such precedents. After all, they were all children from rich families, and most of them liked to go abroad to study. Even if their results were not good, they liked to go abroad to plaster a layer of gold and come back as a turtle.
"You have to know that the education resources abroad are more abundant. I want Shishi to receive the best education, so this is the only way." Fang Chongguo explained, "If you really like her, then you should let her go and let her obtain more and become better, and not just keep her by your side. I think this is true love."
Tang Zheng was speechless. Fang Chongguo's words were indeed reasonable, but he had never thought that after graduation, they would go their separate ways, and even be separated by thousands of miles.
"Actually, Shishi also wanted to go abroad before, and this was also her idea. But with my understanding of her, she definitely doesn't want to go abroad now, and wants to be with you." Fang Chongguo clearly understood his daughter very well.
"I know it is very difficult for you to accept this, so I don't need you to make a decision now. You can think about what is the best situation for Shishi, and give me an answer after you graduate."
Tang Zheng nodded with mixed feelings. Fang Shishi had never told him that she wanted to go abroad, and it seemed that he had neglected her thoughts before.
"Now let's talk about another matter." Fang Chongguo said.
