Only those who couldn't see through it would be trapped in the shackles of "what will others say" for the rest of their lives!
Fang Yan's mother was like that …
It was said that mothers were kind and their children were filial, but Fang Yan's mother listened to Fang Yan's grandmother, who kept pestering her and gossiping all day long, because gossip was a fearful thing!
When Fang Yan's grandmother was hospitalized, Fang Yan's mother had been taking care of her in the hospital day and night. Even the old lady at the clinic thought that Fang Yan's mother was Fang Yan's biological daughter and kept saying that Old Madam Fang had a good daughter. Only then did Old Madam Fang embarrassedly say that she was her daughter-in-law!
Fang Yan's biological aunt, on the other hand, had been hiding far away from Fang Yan's grandmother ever since she was hospitalized. She didn't even see her face. Only when Old Madam Fang was about to be discharged did she pretend to fetch her.
Just like that, when Fang Yan went back to her mother's house to visit her kids yesterday, she happened to bump into the new neighbor auntie, who was out in her pajamas to throw out the trash. That auntie caught Fang Yan and told her that Fang Yan's grandmother had told others that she hadn't eaten a single bite of food from Fang Yan's mother …
Fang Yan found it hilarious. How did the old lady survive without eating anything from Fang Yan's mother?
Fang Yan glanced at Fang Yan, who was still lecturing her about how having an old person at home was like having a treasure. She wanted Fang Yan, her granddaughter, to talk to her mother properly. Although Fang Yan's father was no longer around, Grandma was getting on in years. She wanted Fang Yan's mother to live off her for a few more years, so she wanted Fang Yan's mother to not be so concerned about it. She wanted Fang Yan's mother to send the old lady to her afterlife as a form of filial piety on Fang Yan's father's behalf!
These words made Fang Yan so angry that her chest was heaving up and down violently. Fang Yan didn't wish to say anything to the neighbor who didn't know what was going on. She merely sneered and said, "If she hadn't eaten a mouthful of food from my mother, and if my mother was truly unfilial, would she have lived to be 86 years old this year? How could I be in such good health today?! "
The neighbor auntie froze …
The old lady of the Fang family was eighty-six years old this year. She was in excellent health, even better than middle-aged people like them who were in their early fifties. She couldn't even walk up and down the stairs of the fifth floor, but the old lady was able to recover quickly with a slight pant. High blood pressure, high blood fat, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, this old lady didn't have any!
This was an undeniable fact!
However, the neighbor auntie saw that the old lady was still rummaging through the trash to find drink bottles and express delivery boxes to sell for money at the age of eighty-six, so she believed the old lady's words!
But after hearing what Fang Yan said, it seemed to be the case!
If their children were not filial, which old man could live to the age of eighty and still be so spirited? They would probably be angered to death!
When she got home, Fang Yan saw her mother hugging the sleeping baby and crying. Fang Yan asked her what was wrong, and only then did she answer with tears in her eyes …
Fang Yan's grandmother complained to the new neighbor about how Fang Yan's mother wasn't filial and why she didn't give her any food to eat! Why hadn't she spent a single cent on Fang Yan's mother? She even claimed that she had raised Fang Yan's father until he was in his sixties!
Fang Yan's mother was so angry that tears streamed down her cheeks. Wasn't she spouting nonsense? Fang Yan's mother was so angry that she tried to reason with Fang Yan's grandmother, but Fang Yan's grandmother refused to admit that she had said that. Fang Yan's mother told her to confront the neighbor, and in the end, Fang Yan's mother gave Fang Yan's mother two blows with her hammer. Even now, her heart still hurt.
Fang Yan's grandmother had this problem for a long time, and the reason was very simple … because Fang Yan's father was adopted by Fang Yan's grandmother and grandfather.
Fang Yan's father was no longer around. If he didn't have a conscience, he would have abandoned the old lady a long time ago. However, Fang Yan's mother was still supporting Fang Yan's grandmother!
Fang Yan's mother took what others said too seriously. If this happened to Fang Yan, since she said she hadn't eaten a bite of her food, then she wouldn't eat her food in the future!
You said I'm not filial, so I'll do whatever you say about me … I'll make everything you say come true! When you tell the truth, we'll get along well!
Fang Yan had said this countless times, but Fang Yan's mother would always say the same thing. She would be criticized by others!
Sometimes, Fang Yan was really filled with sympathy for her mother, but she was also filled with a sense of helplessness.
Fang Yan shook her head and let out a long exhale, then went back to work.
…
After Lin Nuan returned to Haicheng, she didn't stay idle, and neither did Fu Huai 'an.
There was no doubt about Chu Fangzheng's ability to get to where he was today. Very quickly, he signed all the contracts and pulled in more investments than he had expected.
By the time he called Tang Xi to inform him, Fu Huai 'an had already arrived in Jincheng …
Xie Jingqiu had arranged to meet Fu Huai 'an on the day he returned to the country.
Sky Imperial Garden was a gathering place for the rich in Jincheng. Jiang Ming 'an used to be the boss here and was also a frequent customer.
Later, the Jiang family was brought down by Cen Mo, and Xie Jingqiu took over this place!
Sky Imperial Garden was where they often gathered to drink tea and play mahjong. Even if it wasn't for Jiang Ming 'an, Xie Jingqiu wasn't willing to let this place fall into someone else's hands.
Jincheng had a lot of rain, and this season was no exception. It was drizzling outside the window. Xie Jingqiu sat with his legs crossed in the car, one hand on his knee. He turned his head and looked at the drizzling rain outside the car window, his gaze distant.
All these years, just like how Fu Huai 'an was averse to meeting him, Xie Jingqiu tried his best not to meet Fu Huai' an either …
Because whenever the two of them met, they would inevitably think of Jiang Ming 'an and Lu Xiangsi.
The car stopped at the entrance of Sky Imperial Garden. Xie Jingqiu got out of the car and took the big black umbrella from Xiao Bai's hands. Looking at the majestic entrance of Sky Imperial Garden, he recalled how Jiang Ming 'an had said in an ostentatious and bright manner when he showed him the design draft. "The more majestic it is, the better. I want Sky Imperial Garden to give people the feeling that I don't lack money!"
The tall and long-legged Xie Jingqiu stood there motionlessly with one hand in his pocket. Just his height alone was enough to make him stand out from the crowd. He looked noble and cold at the same time. Between his deep and handsome brows, there was a mature aura of wisdom and wisdom. The passersby couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him.
He looked at the majestic entrance of Sky Imperial Garden for a long time, then raised his foot and stepped onto the steps of Sky Imperial Garden …
The bellboy tactfully took the big umbrella from Xie Jingqiu's hands and respectfully greeted, "Chairman Xie!"
Today, Xie Jingqiu was the one who invited Fu Huai 'an over. The manager and the rest had long received instructions from Xie Jingqiu's Assistant Bai. What surprised the manager even more was that Xie Jingqiu valued this meeting with Fu Huai' an so much that he had Assistant Bai personally arrange a private room and welcome him personally.
When Xie Jingqiu entered the room, Fu Huai 'an had already arrived before him.
Inside the private room, Fu Huai 'an stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. His navy blue suit with a stiff collar outlined the man's broad and firm shoulders. His trousers were well-ironed, and his casually rolled up sleeves were pushed to his elbows. His arms were well-defined, and he exuded a steady and imposing aura.
