Of course, these people couldn’t fit into one car.
When they got to the road, Gu Muran was about to hail a taxi, but Qin Yize stopped her, telling her that they had cars coming to pick them up.
Sure enough, after waiting for more than twenty minutes, two jeeps ca from afar.
Qiaoqiao didn’t recognize the one in front, but she knew the jeep behind; that was Luh Fei’s car.
Soon, the two jeeps stopped in front of the group.
From the first car, a young military officer in his twenties got out. He was tall, with a straight posture, and looked sowhat like Fang Liang.
This should be Fang Liang’s uncle’s son born in his old age.
Currently the most promising in the Fang family, he’s already made it to the rank of battalion commander.
He also graduated from a regular military academy, so his future is naturally bright.
His na is Fang Qing.
After Qin Yize briefly introduced him, Fang Qing directly said to Qiaoqiao, "Ah Ze already called . The matters between the Fang family and the Gu family are over. We’ve been through so much over the years; the Gu Family hasn’t had it easy, and my third uncle doesn’t want to let himself go either."
Qiaoqiao lifted the corners of her mouth, smiling slightly, "Yes, the future is long, continuing to stir things up would only harm ourselves and others."
Fang Qing, with a straightforward personality, said, "Alright, let’s not bring it up again."
Qiaoqiao nodded, and asked, "Is Uncle Fang at ho?"
Qin Yize hadn’t ntioned any specific matters to Fang Qing about going to the Fang family, so Fang Qing didn’t know either.
Though there was a sense of hesitation inside, he smartly didn’t inquire further, rely nodding and saying, "Yes, my elder brother is at ho."
Uncle, elder brother?
Qiaoqiao found the family hierarchy a bit confusing.
Seeming to sense Qiaoqiao’s thoughts, Qin Yize calmly explained, "Each family has their own terms. My brother here is the youngest in the family, born in the later years, so he is in the sa generation as Uncle Fang Liang, but there’s quite an age gap."
Fang Qing nodded, "That’s right, let’s get in the car first."
The group got into the cars, which sped towards Fang Liang’s place.
Halfway, they bought so fruit and fresh flowers, after all, it’s not polite to visit empty-handed.
Due to the suddenness of everything, Fang Liang only had ti to notify his elder brother, without ntioning who was visiting or why...
The gate was ajar, indicating recent movent.
Fang Qing gently pushed, and it opened, allowing Qiaoqiao to gaze into the courtyard.
Under the grapevine in the courtyard, Fang Liang sat in a wheelchair, reading a book. On the coffee table in front of him was a teapot, a porcelain white teacup beside it, with the aroma of tea wafting, adding to the elegance of the yard.
This was Qiaoqiao’s first visit, whereas Xiao Wen, strictly speaking, was on her second.
The courtyard was surrounded with plants, not ordinary ones, but so rare orchids and such.
Among the flowers here, Qiaoqiao only recognized the orchids.
The whole small yard, in such a bustling city area, seed like an imaginary land of joy and plenty.
At this mont, the courtyard was quiet, indicating Fang Liang was alone.
However, Qiaoqiao surmised that Old Master Fang must live next door; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so convenient for care.
Fang Liang obviously enjoyed tranquility and didn’t like disturbances. There were no signs of a woman’s presence in the courtyard, suggesting Fang Liang was currently single; whether his wife had passed away or sothing else wasn’t known.
These doubts, however, rely flashed by as Fang Liang saw the fourth brother leading a group of people in. He had t Qin Yize and Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen yesterday, naturally recognizing them...
His brow raised slightly, unsure what purpose these people had, yet he smiled, warmly saying, "Co over and sit, it’s cooler here."
Then he turned to Fang Qing, "Old Fourth, go get a few more teacups and so pastries."
Fang Qing, familiar with the place, went inside and shortly returned with several teacups and a plate of seemingly exquisite pastries, placing them on the table. He poured tea for everyone.
Usually straightforward and talkative, Xiao Wen seed uncharacteristically silent today, different from her usual self.
With no alternative, Qiaoqiao spoke up, "Uncle Fang, sorry to disturb you."
Fang Liang smiled slightly, "No worries, do you need sothing from ?"
No one visits the Three Treasures Hall without reason; these people were from the Gu family, visiting under the guise of Old Fourth, they must have sothing to discuss.
But he was unsure what business he could have with these people?
Yesterday, the grievances between the Gu family and the Fang family were temporarily resolved, and these juniors were from the Imperial Capital; he felt he had no relation with them, unable to figure out why they were seeking him specifically.
Nevertheless, he greeted them politely with a smile.
Qiaoqiao took a quick peek at Xiao Wen beside her, winking. Xiao Wen opened her mouth but, for so reason, found herself unable to speak, angrily clenching her fists tightly.
At this point, Fang Liang’s gaze followed Qiaoqiao’s to land on Xiao Wen, his brows twitching slightly, eyes flashing with a hint of surprise, yet it passed in an instant.
Subsequently, he calmly awaited them to speak.
Gu Muran was naturally in the dark about the situation.
Today, he rely ca along for fun; he had a favorable impression of Uncle Fang. Although they had clashed over certain matters, he had thought Uncle Fang would retaliate, yet to his surprise, Uncle Fang treated him kindly. But all these interactions were kept secret from his family, not letting Old Man Fang know; even if he considered contacting, the deep-seated resentnt prevented any such thoughts from materializing.
At this mont, Gu Muran felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, yet he quietly sipped his tea without speaking.
Qin Yize had learned of the matter in the morning, and, for him, it wasn’t all that surprising. The world indeed held nurous remarkable occurrences.
Thus, the atmosphere beneath the Fang family’s grape arbor seed harmonious but was, in fact, subtly unsettling.
Indeed, it was only a matter of seconds before Qiaoqiao broke the silence. Since Xiao Wen hesitated to bring it up, she had to, "Uncle Fang, here’s the situation: this is my elder sister Xiao Wen. When she was little, she stayed in Jinling City for a while, and for certain reasons, almost got eaten by wolves outside Jinling City on Erdao Mountain..."
Fang Liang’s expression had been calm and indifferent initially, but upon hearing Qiaoqiao’s revelation, his deanor turned slightly bewildered.
His gaze swept over Xiao Wen, his deep-set brows knitting.
It seed he was delving back through distant mories of that event.
Within re seconds, a light appeared in his eyes.
