"I?"
Lin Tingyue suddenly asked shyly, "Can I too?"
Fan Qing rolled her eyes. "Look at your pathetic self. Why don't you ask Auntie and Sister Xiawan if they want to come and film?"
" Sister Xiawan is very busy lately, she probably doesn't have time. I'll ask Mom."
"Mmm," Fan Qing mumbled, biting on the straw.
Bai Yaxin agreed, and Lin Tingyue got up to pay the bill. Fan Qing stood at the door waiting for her. Just as Lin Tingyue walked towards Fan Qing, Fan Qing was suddenly bumped into by a child holding a cream cake.
The cake was shoved all over Fan Qing's sweater.
Fan Qing: "Little friend, your cake got my clothes dirty. Shouldn't you apologize to me?"
"Who told you to be so blind!"
Fan Qing: "...?"
Whose child is so ill-mannered? He hit someone and he thinks he's in the right?!
The child tried to run away after speaking, but Fan Qing Fan Qing grabbed him and said with a stern face, "Apologize!"
The child burst into tears.
Fan Qing: "?"
She hasn't even cried yet, so why is this child crying?
"Oh dear, you're an adult, don't argue with a child."
"Yeah, it's just a sweater, they didn't do it on purpose."
"Why do young girls these days make such a big deal out of nothing?"
Fine, fine, so whoever is weak is right, huh? Then don't blame her for killing indiscriminately!
Fan Qing's eyes welled up with tears, and she said pitifully, "This is the sweater my dad bought for me. Now he's gone, and this sweater was my only keepsake. And now... Waaaaah, Dad, I'm so sorry."
Fan Qing burst into tears.
" Qingqing."
Lin Tingyue and Fan Qing exchanged a glance, instantly understanding Fan Qing's meaning. She hugged Fan Qing Fan Qing tightly, patting her back to comfort her, " Qingqing, it's alright. If your uncle is watching from heaven, he won't blame you."
"Oh my god, I have a good relationship with my dad, so I totally understand. If anyone dirties the things my dad left me, I'll tear them up!"
"Why is this child crying so much? He looks about ten years old, how come he doesn't even know how to apologize?"
"He won't apologize, but surely his parents will? The two girls are practically crying their eyes out, and their parents are still cowering like cowards."
In just a short while, public opinion changed.
Fan Qing shook her head in Lin Tingyue's arms.
A man in a camel-colored overcoat walked through the crowd to the boy's side, frowned, and asked, "Why are you crying?"
The boy was crying so hard he could barely breathe, but he still had the strength to complain, "Dad, someone bullied me."
"Bullying you? You're the one who dirtied someone else's clothes."
"Exactly, and they even called them blind."
The man hadn't expected this, and was somewhat embarrassed. He hissed, "Stop crying."
When scolded, the boy became obedient, sniffling cautiously and not daring to make a sound.
Seeing the boy stop, the man went to apologize to Fan Qing Lin Tingyue, "I'm so sorry..."
Fan Qing looked up, and their eyes met. Fan Qing asked in surprise, "Dad?"
[Oh my god, it's come back to life!]
Fan Qing sneered, "Isn't that just a zombie coming back to life?"
Fan Qing raised her hand, staring at the boy, and said, "Dad, is this your son? Weren't you with Tang Xiao before? You even tried to win my mother back, yet you still managed to find the time to have such a grown son."
Fan Qing couldn't help but clap her hands, "Being a husband to three people at the same time, you must have had a tough time, right?"
" Qingqing, I'm your father. Do you have to be so sarcastic towards me?" Fan Wei's face was grim.
"Mr. Fan Wei, do you still remember that I am your daughter?"
Fan Qing's sarcastic remarks finally angered Fan Wei. " Fan Qing, don't think you can do whatever you want just because your mother spoils you. As long as I'm still your father, I will always have the right to discipline you!"
What is it?
Shamelessness is truly invincible.
Lin Tingyue stepped in front of Fan Qing. She had a sweet face, but her words struck straight to the heart, "Excuse me, Mr. Fan Wei, a cheating man has no right to discipline his daughter."
Fan Qing behind him chuckled.
She was in a bad mood, but when she saw Lin Tingyue standing in front of her and speaking like that, a warm feeling flowed through her body, and Fan Qing felt better again.
Is it really necessary for her to be so upset about someone as bad Fan Wei?
She said with great enthusiasm, " Yueyue is right."
"You..."
"Your son dirtied my clothes, you not only need to apologize, but also pay for it!"
Meanwhile, the onlookers, who were unaware of the truth, finally figured out what had happened.
"So this man cheated on his wife and is now helping his mistress's child to make things difficult for his own daughter?"
"There's still a section in the middle, tsk tsk tsk."
"Oh dear, is there really only one section in the middle? Perhaps this is the only part they've discovered..."
"Poor girl."
How embarrassing!
To make the boy apologize to Fan Qing, Fan Wei gave Fan Qing another card, saying, "Is that alright now?"
Fan Qing smiled, her eyes crinkling. "President Fan, weren't you planning to discipline me?"
" Fan Qing, don't go too far!"
"So what?" Fan Qing made a face.
Fan Wei didn't want to waste any more time with Fan Qing, so he took the boy's hand and left.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Lin Tingyue was torn, wondering, "Should I tell Fan Wei that the child isn't his?"
Fan Wei stumbled and almost fell face-first to the ground. The boy asked worriedly, "Dad, are you alright?"
Fan Wei waved wearily. What a joke! He was no longer the Fan Wei used to be. The moment that person came to his door with the child, he arranged for a paternity test.
This is his child!
He finally had a son.
[Shouldn't Fan Wei reflect on his actions? He's notoriously womanizing and easily fooled. If I were one of those con artists, I'd also target someone like Fan Wei. After all, if I succeeded, I'd be set for life and my entire family would rise to prominence.]
Fan Wei's hand tightened, and he asked the boy, "Where's your mother?"
The boy found his father's behavior terrifying. He stammered, "Mom has something to do... Dad, didn't you say you'd play with me today?"
[Emmm, you, the cheapskate dad, are playing with your son. Guess what his mom is doing?]
Fan Wei didn't want to speculate any further, so he called his driver to pick him up.
When you're down on your luck, everything goes wrong. The driver had an emergency and wouldn't arrive for another hour. When Lin Tingyue and Fan Qing the restaurant, Fan Wei was still holding the boy's hand, waiting by the roadside.
Lin Tingyue shook her head. [ Fan Wei hasn't realized yet that his house was robbed by his own driver!!!]
Fan Wei: "!"
Fan Qing went to the mall and used the card to buy a new dress. The two of them strolled around for a bit, and half an hour later, Bai Yaxin and Feng Shuiyun arrived.
Fan Qing asked, "You two... did you plan this?"
Bai Yaxin laughed and said, "You two are allowed to make a date, but we're not allowed to?"
Feng Shuiyun chimed in, "Exactly, that's way too domineering."
Being called domineering, Lin Tingyue and Fan Qing were both amused and exasperated. They each took their mother's hand, saying, "Let's go."
The bridal shop was on the third floor of the mall. When Fan Qing and her friends went in, there was already a couple choosing dresses.
"Baby, what do you think of this one?"
The girl pointed to a mermaid-style wedding dress and murmured, "This wedding dress is so beautiful."
The sales assistant smiled and said, "Miss, you have excellent taste. This is a mermaid wedding dress specially designed by a master designer. It perfectly fits the curves of the body, and since your wedding is being held by the sea, this dress is truly the best choice."
The girl became more and more satisfied as she listened, "Do you have my size?"
The boy, who had been sleepwalking, suddenly snapped out of it. He frowned and said, "What master design? It's all a scam, just a way to make more money. Baby, don't be fooled by them. This wedding dress is very ordinary."
The shop assistant silently repeated to herself a hundred times, "I'm at work, I'm at work. Just hang in there a little longer, the 'humiliation fee' is almost in my hands," before finally suppressing the urge to argue with the guy.
"In that case, Miss, you might also like to take a look at this one..."
The shop assistant's recommendations always hit the girl's sweet spot; she could already imagine herself wearing these wedding dresses on the beach.
But the boys always impatiently rejected every wedding dress.
Even the best temper would flare up at this point. The girl released the boy's hand and said coldly, "Then tell me, which one do you choose?"
The boy knew the girl was angry, so he chuckled and coaxed her, "I also hope that you can show unprecedented charm on your wedding day, baby. The wedding is such an important moment, and you don't want to have any regrets, right?"
The girl reluctantly agreed.
The boy said, "That dress in the shop window is really pretty, it would suit you perfectly."
girl. "?"
"When I first arrived, I told you that I hate that style the most, especially since that wedding dress would expose all my figure flaws."
"Baby, it looks really beautiful. Why don't you try it on? I'll also put on a suit and see if we look good together."
"We can't argue," the girl sighed. "Let me look around some more, and I'll try that one on last."
Why...?
The boy was glared at by the girl, but later, while Lin Tingyue and the others were choosing wedding dresses, the boy kept praising how beautiful the one in the shop window was.
Fan Qing whispered, "Does he really want to marry his girlfriend? I think he'd rather spend his life with that wedding dress."
[Of course, his ex-girlfriend's wedding dress was exactly the same style as the one in the shop window; he wanted to use his current girlfriend's face to remember his ex.]
