Fang Family!
“That’s great!”
The head of the Fang family, Fang Jinyuan, hit the armrest of the sofa and said excitedly, “The Fang family has been going downhill for the past few years. Our status in Ning City has been declining. This time, we can cooperate with the Nox Company. It will definitely make our family glorious again. Yunshu, you did a great job.”
It had been a long time since Fang Yunshu had received a compliment from the Old Man. She said with a choked voice, “As a member of the Fang Family, it’s my honor to be able to contribute to the Fang Family.”
“Not bad! Not bad!” Old Master Fang nodded. He looked around and said to his second son, Fang Qianlong, “Qianlong, I’ll leave the cooperation with Paul to you.”
Fang Qianlong was in his fifties this year, and he was the most capable person in the second generation of the Fang Family. His face lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, “Don’t worry, Father. I’ll make sure to handle this matter properly. I can handle the rest, but with Yunshu and Paul’s relationship, I think it is still up to Yunshu.”
Fang Yunshu said hurriedly, “Please tell me what I have to do, Second Uncle. I’ll do my best.”
Fang Qianlong said with a smile, “What I want you to do is simple, but it’s very important… I think you should understand.”
Fang Yunshu was stunned. “Second Uncle, please explain. I don’t understand.”
Fang Qianlong’s daughter, Fang Yunduo, chuckled. Her laughter was filled with ridicule and mockery. “Yunshu, are you trying to fool me? Just keep Mr. Paul company and make him happy.”
Fang Yunshu finally understood what they meant, and her expression turned ugly. “Sister Yunduo, Paul and I are just business partners. We don’t have that kind of relationship.”
“Heh…” Fang Yunduo pursed her lips. “Why are you acting so high and mighty here? Who doesn’t know that Paul is a playboy? If nothing happened, would he agree to cooperate with us?”
“Absolutely not!” Fang Yunshu raised her voice and her expression became stern.
Fang Qianlong immediately said worriedly, “Nothing happened… then this cooperation might not be so successful. Paul is clearly waiting for your response. If you don’t take the initiative, then this cooperation will be ruined. You have to accompany Paul today to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
Fang Yunshu clenched her fists. “Second Uncle, I’m still a member of the Fang Family. If I use such a method, won’t the Fang Family be embarrassed?”
Fang Yunduo said disdainfully, “You still have the cheek to say that it’s embarrassing? You gave birth before marriage at the age of twenty. You’ve long embarrassed the Fang Family. Now, we’re just trying to make use of used trash. What are you still being pretentious about?”
Fang Yunshu felt an indescribable discomfort as she held her breath.
She had negotiated a collaboration with Paul and made a great contribution. It was fine if the others had directly taken the fruits of their labor, but in the end, they even asked her to sell her body to accompany Paul. This was simply too much.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yunshu gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words. “What if I don’t agree?”
The faces of the members of the Fang Family were filled with surprise. It seemed that Fang Yunshu had made the most absurd request.
Fang Qianlong snorted, “Yunshu, what else have you brought to the Fang Family besides humiliation all these years? Now that there’s a chance to make a contribution, aren’t you going to seize it?”
“Such an opportunity, I…” Fang Yunshu’s eyes were filled with determination. “I don’t need it! ”
Fang Yunshu took another deep breath and said, “Then I have nothing to do here. I’m leaving.”
“Stop there!” Fang Qianlong glared at her and said, “From now on, you have to stay here. You’re not allowed to go anywhere. Wait for Mr. Paul’s arrival!”
“Exactly! Yunshu, don’t mess around. This is a great opportunity. You can’t miss it.”
“You’re not an innocent young lady anymore. You’ve already given birth to a bastard. What’s the big deal in sleeping with Mr. Paul for a few days?”
“It’s your honor for a disgraced woman like you to be able to contribute to the Fang Family through such a method. Don’t be stubborn.”
All kinds of accusations came from all directions.
No one from the Fang Family came to speak up for her. Everyone thought that it was only right for her to accompany Paul. If she did not accompany him, it would be the greatest outrage.
Fang Yunshu’s face was ashen. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms.
Old Master Fang waved his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down. Then, he said indifferently, “Yunshu, I’ll help you contact Dr. Zhu in a few days.”
With that, the Old Man turned around and left without even looking at Fang Yunshu.
In the past few years, Fang Yunshu had looked for many famous doctors for her daughter’s illness, but none of them had any effect. Dr. Zhu was said to have very successful experience in this area, but she could not contact Dr. Zhu. The Old Man’s words had hit her soft spot.
Her pride, and her persistence, in the face of her daughter’s health, were all so weak. She stood where she was and lowered her head silently. She had no intention of fighting back.
Fang Qianlong looked at Fang Ling’er and frowned, “Yunduo, take this bastard away. Don’t let her get in the way here.”
Fang Yunduo replied and grabbed Fang Ling’er’s arm, “Little b*stard, come with me.”
“What are you doing?” Fang Yunshu pulled Fang Ling’er into her arms nervously.
Fang Yunduo curled her lips in disdain and said, “You’re going to accompany Mr. Paul for the next two days. Are you going to bring this little b*stard along?”
Fang Yunshu slowly squatted down and gently held her daughter’s hand. She said gently, “Ling ‘er, can you stay with Aunt Duo for the next two days?”
Fang Ling’er gripped Fang Yunshu’s finger tightly and shook her head vigorously.
Fang Yunshu said with a tense face, “You’re not obedient if you don’t listen to Mommy.”
Fang Ling’er continued to shake her head. She looked at her mother with a determined gaze and said, “Mommy, don’t be afraid. There’s Daddy!”
Fang Yunshu’s face stiffened, and she stood up abruptly to leave.
Fang Ling’er was about to chase after her, but Fang Yunduo grabbed her shoulder, preventing her from moving.
Fang Ling’er watched as her mother went upstairs. She turned her head and stared at Fang Yunduo with a burning gaze.
Fang Yunduo frowned. She felt a sense of oppression when the little girl stared at her. She did not like it, so she patted Fang Ling’er’s head and said, “Little b*stard, behave yourself for the next two days. Otherwise, I won’t give you any food to eat.”
Fang Ling’er lowered her head but immediately raised her head again. Instead of crying, she looked proud. “I have a Daddy! ”
Fang Yunduo pursed his lips in disdain and said, “Your Daddy? Heh … He’s just trash.”
Fang Ling’er’s face turned red as she shouted, “He’s the sea god. If you bully me and Mommy, Daddy will avenge us.”
“The usual little mute, not only is she speaking today, she is even saying so much.” Fang Yunduo was a little surprised, but she did not like Ling’er’s threatening words.
She reached out and grabbed Fang Ling’er’s ear. “Little b*stard, come and tell me that your father is trash.”
Fang Ling’er shouted, “My Daddy is the sea god!”
“He’s trash. Are you going to say it or not?” Fang Yunduo increased the strength in her hands and even pinched her with a mocking expression on her face.
Fang Ling’er clenched her fists tightly. Her face was contorted from the pain, but she gritted her teeth and did not make a sound. Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
Fang Yunduo was a little scared by her stare. She became even angrier and scolded, “Wretched girl, tell me quickly, or I’ll wring your ears off!”
Fang Ling’er was already trembling in pain. She gritted her teeth and did not say a word. Her eyes were already filled with tears, but she was able to hold them back.
“Stop!”
With a loud shout, Ye Xiaofei rushed in.
With a wave of his hand, he had already flicked Fang Yunduo’s hand away.
Squatting down, Ye Xiaofei looked at Fang Ling’er with heartache.
Fang Ling’er pursed her lips tightly as tears welled up in her eyes.
The stubborn and strong little girl finally could not hold it in anymore when she saw Ye Xiaofei.
“Daddy!” A choked voice came out of the little girl’s mouth, and tears instantly gathered into a stream and flowed down her face.
Ye Xiaofei’s heart ached as he hugged Fang Ling’er.
Fang Ling’er hugged Ye Xiaofei’s neck tightly and pressed her face against his.
“Daddy! They … They … Wu … They bullied me!”
