Chapter 727
"Auntie, you’ve watched grow up. When have I ever been fooled because of being soft-hearted?" Fang Jingzi smiled at Fang Sanqing, continuing to reassure her, "Auntie, think about it, am I not always sincere only with family?"
After thinking it over carefully, Fang Sanqing laughed awkwardly, "I guess I was overthinking, but Xiao Zi, now that you’ve married into the Lin Family, your role isn’t the sa. Even with family, you shouldn’t force yourself to help when you can’t."
"Auntie, don’t worry. Our family isn’t one to act thoughtlessly. The concerns you’re worried about probably won’t happen..."
Fang Sanqing interrupted her, "Jingwen is already acting a bit thoughtless now."
Thinking about her brother’s recent behavior, Fang Jingzi was helpless. Yeah, how did she forget her own brother? That troubleso woman really does ruin people tirelessly!
Since childhood, her brother had always been obedient and considerate, never causing their parents any worry. Plus, he was smart and good-looking, truly the pride of the family.
Unfortunately, ever since Li Xinlan loosened her stance, her brother has completely changed. The boy who never skipped classes growing up and never missed work, now skips work often just to et Li Xinlan, causing the factory manager to co to their house.
Every ti, her brother would promise with confidence not to repeat his mistakes, but within a few days, the leader would be back again. If not for the factory manager knowing about her relationship with the Lin Family, her brother probably would have been fired already.
For this, she and her parents even approached Li Xinlan, who promised with a good attitude to talk so sense into Fang Jingwen and not let him be criticized again.
The result? Naturally, there was no result.
In essence, Li Xinlan is using this way to control Fang Jingwen, forcing the Fang Family to pay attention to her. If the Fang Family really broke ties with her, they would undoubtedly lose Fang Jingwen. This, the Fang elders likely couldn’t accept. Knowing this, Li Xinlan always felt she had nothing to lose.
But if things continue like this, the situation might get worse. There are not only infatuated won in this world but also infatuated n, like Fang Jingwen.
From what he shows, it’s unlikely he’ll see Li Xinlan’s true nature any ti soon. Or rather, even if he does see it, he wouldn’t admit it. Supposedly obedient and considerate kids can be really stubborn once they get fixated.
Actually, Fang Jingzi had understood this long ago. But thinking of her brother’s dependence and closeness to her from childhood, she could never refuse his requests.
Looking at it now, her indulgent love has hard him, making him increasingly trapped in this unworthy relationship. If this goes on, the hurt he will suffer will only get worse!
With this in mind, Fang Jingzi promised to Fang Sanqing again, "Auntie, I won’t let Jingwen have his way anymore. Rest assured, for the sake of this family and his future, I must be firm, even if he hates now, I must be firm."
"Sigh!" Fang Sanqing sighed, "One day, he’ll understand your intentions. At twenty-two, he’s no longer a kid. Always mingling unclear with such won, no good girl would want to marry him."
"Yes." Fang Jingzi nodded, "It’s long overdue to stop his fantasies." Saying so, she rose and walked out, opened the door, and looked coldly at her brother, who was chatting with Li Xinlan, "Fang Jingwen, don’t go tomorrow."
"Sis..." Fang Jingwen looked at Fang Jingzi in disbelief, "I’m your own brother! If I don’t go tomorrow, what will the Lin family mbers think?"
"They won’t think much. As long as grandma and our parents are there, it’s fine." Fang Jingzi looked at him calmly, "From now on, don’t get involved in any of my matters..." Then she turned to Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang, "Dad, Mom, I’ll explain clearly to the factory. If Fang Jingwen misses work again, let him be fired. If they let him off the hook again, I won’t be grateful."
She isn’t grateful, and the Lin Family certainly won’t be either. Therefore, the factory leadership will undoubtedly not play the unsung hero, and the outco for Fang Jingwen is predictable. Of course, Li Xinlan knows Fang Jingzi is targeting her, but she doesn’t believe Fang Jingzi will really do it. She comfortingly held Fang Jingwen’s hand, "Elder sister is right, you need to take your work seriously, don’t make it hard for her in front of her husband’s family."
"Elder sister..." The veins on Fang Jingwen’s forehead throbbed, from childhood until now, his elder sister was always so kind to him, he couldn’t accept her sudden cold-heartedness.
"If you continue to be with this woman, don’t call elder sister. I don’t have a brother like you, and I also don’t want you to make my husband’s family look down on ," Fang Jingzi said, then turned back to her room, slamming the door shut.
Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang, after a brief mont of shock, understood the reason for their eldest daughter’s actions, and without even glancing at their son, went back to their own tasks.
Second Uncle Fang and Second Auntie Fang exchanged a glance, sowhat puzzled, and looked toward Eldest Auntie Fang, who had co out with Fang Jingzi. She gave them a signal and bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Fang: "Big Brother and Sister-in-law, we’ve almost finished everything. I’ll head ho first and co over early tomorrow morning."
"Alright..." Mr. Fang replied readily, smiling apologetically at his younger sister. "You’ve been busy all day; go ho and rest a bit earlier."
"Big Brother and Sister-in-law, we’re going back too," Second Uncle Fang quickly added.
"Hmm, you all can go back."
After Eldest Auntie Fang and Second Uncle Fang with his wife left, Fang Jingzi’s several male and female cousins, of course, also bade farewell. By the ti Little Auntie Fang ca out of Grandmother Fang’s room, everyone had already left cleanly.
"Where did they all go?" Little Auntie Fang asked in confusion.
Mr. Fang said, "Siqin, you should also go rest, co over early tomorrow morning."
Not knowing what had happened earlier, Fang Siqin didn’t follow Mr. Fang’s instructions: "I’d better stay and help check things over again. Before sleeping, Mom kept reminding just to avoid making any faux pas. This is a big event for the Fang family, and Mom’s worry is justified. Though we’re a small household, we can’t disregard our face."
Fang Jingyi sighed quietly, glanced at Fang Jingwen sitting there with his head down saying nothing, and then at Li Xinlan who was pretending to be obedient. She walked over to Little Auntie Fang and quietly recounted everything that happened earlier.
Little Auntie Fang frowned, shot a glare at Li Xinlan, and snorted coldly: "Truly shaless. Fine, I’ll also head back. You all can talk to her, best if you cut off her delusions."
After seeing Little Auntie Fang off, Fang Jingyi looked at Li Xinlan, who was shalessly sitting there holding Fang Jingwen’s hand: "You should understand better than anyone why our elder sister acted that way.
Of course, you can insist you are with him for love..." She paused for a mont, then turned her gaze to her brother, "Fang Jingwen, no matter what we say, you will remain convinced that she truly loves you, right?"
"Yes." Fang Jingwen looked up at his sister with a determined expression, "Xinlan likes ; you all are overthinking it. In the past..." He bit his lip, his eyes turning slightly red, "I always thought the elder sister genuinely cared about . Now it seems, I was wrong.
I never intended to seek benefits from her just because she married into a good family. But my elder sister is always worried I might take advantage of her. So now, I make a statent in front of the whole family: I, Fang Jingwen, will rely on my abilities to succeed, and I will not take advantage of Fang Jingzi even in the slightest.
If she wants to talk to the factory leaders, let her go ahead. If she doesn’t want to go tomorrow, I won’t go. Moreover, let’s not associate with each other from now on. Since she doesn’t want to see , before she gets married, I’ll move to the factory dormitory."
"Jingwen, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Xinlan held Fang Jingwen’s arm with a worried look: "The elder sister was just speaking out of anger. How can you be so stubborn too? You are her younger brother; imagine what the relatives will say if you don’t attend her engagent party?
Since she doesn’t want to see , I simply won’t go tomorrow. I believe, over ti, she will accept . She’s your sister, don’t be childish, alright?"
"You consider everything for her, but what about her?" Fang Jingwen sniffled, "She always thinks so poorly of you. I’m not going! Let them say whatever they want about her; after all, it’s her own request."
Fang Jingzi pushed open the door: "That’s right, it’s my own request, Fang Jingwen, as long as you are with this woman, we will cut ties for a day. Whenever you break up, you can call elder sister again.
If you want to move to the factory to live, then move; I will absolutely not stop you, nor will I, because of what you said, actively request to move out. Li Xinlan, don’t think that I am just playing around; if you stay with him, I won’t let him be involved in any of my matters."
"Elder sister..." Li Xinlan’s charming big eyes welled up with tears, "Why do you dislike so much? Do you really not care about the years we’ve been neighbors?
Moreover, all these years, I’ve never done anything to wrong elder sister or Jingwen. In the past, I didn’t like him because I was young and confused about my feelings.
Now, I clearly know that I like Jingwen. He has always been the best boy to , and I feel especially secure with him."
"If your love is truly stronger than gold, why care about my attitude?" Fang Jingzi said calmly, looking at her, "Don’t say it’s for my own good, I said, I don’t need it."
"Fang Jingzi, since you’ve said this, I see no reason to appear at your engagent banquet tomorrow. I’m going to pack my things now. If you aren’t married in a month, please move out..." Fang Jingwen paused, looked at his parents, "If you insist I shouldn’t co back, then Fang Jingzi will be responsible for your old age, just consider that you never had a son." (To be continued.
