Chapter 2411: Chapter 1526: What Do You Think?
"Uncle Fang, Aunt Pan, bro, sis-in-law, take care on the road."
The Maserati Quattroporte started up.
Under the eyes of the Hong family, it drove toward the exit of the underground parking lot.
Jiang Huazi restrained her smile and looked at her still-waving son, "Did you drink too much?"
"No!"
Hong Xiaoyu shook his head and immediately denied it, full of confidence, "I can drink half a glass more."
"What did you just shout?"
"Sis-in-law."
Hmm.
No exaggeration there.
Answered fluently, very clear-headed.
"Your uncle left long ago, shouting here randomly, aren’t you afraid your scheming Sister Fang Qing will bear a grudge against you?"
"She won’t."
Hong Xiaoyu said confidently, without fear.
"In acting, you have to play the full set. Xiaoyu did nothing wrong."
Hong Ou stepped out to support his son.
Jiang Huazi was both amused and displeased, "As long as you know it’s acting. After tonight, forget everything that happened today, no one’s allowed to bring it up."
"What about Uncle? Should we tell him the truth after today?"
Hong Xiaoyu asked.
"Tell him, my foot. He only cares about his house. He didn’t even recognize Xiao Chen; I almost want to strangle him."
Jiang Huazi was still fuming.
"It’s been years since he’s seen Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen has changed so much. It’s normal not to recognize him. Tonight, he’s done a good deed."
Hong Ou said softly, "His blunder somehow made up for a slight regret between the two kids."
Hong Xiaoyu nodded in deep agreement, "Dad, you’re right. For a moment there, I almost thought bro and Sister Fang Qing were a couple."
"Make up for what. After tonight, everything will return to normal," Jiang Huazi sighed, "But that guy got lucky out of misfortune. If it weren’t for his antics, how could the Fang family help him?"
"It’s because brother is magnanimous and doesn’t hold grudges. Otherwise, Sister Fang Qing would never have agreed. Hopefully, Uncle wakes up this time and stops being so selfish in the future."
Feelings reached that point.
If it were usual, Hong Xiaoyu wouldn’t dare to speak of elders like that.
"Forget it. Counting on him to repent is like hoping the sun rises from the west. I’ve done my best to make up for what I owe him. From now on, I won’t bother with whatever happens to that guy."
The family chatted as they turned and walked toward the elevator.
"Sorry, Jiang, your Uncle Fang drank too much today. Don’t take his words to heart."
The Maserati drove through the night streets, Pan Hui sat in the back seat, and next to her, Fang Weiguo leaned comfortably against the car door, already asleep, snoring intermittently.
"Not at all. Aunt Pan, I think what Uncle Fang said today was right. In the future, when Fang Qing and I have kids..."
"Shut your mouth!"
Fang Qing stopped someone from talking nonsense in the passenger seat, "If you’re not sober, get out and take a walk. You can walk back."
"What are you saying! How can you let Jiang walk back, it’s dangerous."
There weren’t many people in the car, yet a food chain was formed.
One level restrains the other.
Jiang Chen laughed, "I meant if we have kids, we can arrange a marriage between them."
That’s more like it.
Words need clarity.
"Who’s arranging a marriage with you? You’re dreaming."
With no one around, or rather without outsiders, Fang Qing immediately returned to her true self, far from the elegant, calm demeanor at the dinner table.
"What you say doesn’t count."
Jiang Chen leaned back in the seat, said leisurely, "That’s Uncle Fang’s will."
Pan Hui held back her words, not knowing what to say, couldn’t help pinching her husband’s thigh. But the guy was sleeping like a log, completely unresponsive.
"What did my dad say just now?"
She was expected to hit back fiercely, but surprisingly, her tone softened.
She truly deserved to be called a filial daughter.
"Uncle Fang just said..."
Jiang Chen recalled, "You have a son, I have a daughter, isn’t that right Aunt Pan?"
In the rearview mirror, Pan Hui smiled awkwardly, her hand still on her husband’s thigh secretly pinched again.
"Snore..."
The snoring continued incessantly.
Sleeping soundly indeed.
"Alright, that’s settled then."
Fang Qing’s attitude did a 180-degree turn.
Despite being under the influence of alcohol, Jiang Chen still keenly sensed something wrong.
"You agree?"
"I agree, why wouldn’t I?"
Fang Qing said while driving, "As long as you don’t back out."
"Qing Qing..."
Pan Hui couldn’t help but speak up.
Kidding is one thing.
How could it be taken seriously?!
Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
Under someone’s watchful suspicion, Fang Qing looked straight ahead, a slight smile on her lips, "I don’t plan to get married, let alone have kids. So, it seems your daughter is going to be lonely until old age."
What is the world’s most bitter hatred of love without fate?
Fang Weiguo, who was sound asleep, should listen,
This is the most bitter hatred.
Jiang Chen was astonished, then laughed. Before he could speak, a scolding came from the back seat.
"What nonsense are you saying!"
His daughter’s words made Pan Hui’s face change color. As a traditional parent, no one could stay calm hearing this.
"Fang Qing is just joking with me."
Jiang Chen quickly turned back to reassure, said with a helpless smile, "But I’d better tell Uncle Fang our arranged marriage probably won’t happen."
"Even a joke needs some limits! Not getting married or having children, is this a joke? It’s clearly cursing yourself!"
Pan Hui’s temper flared.
Jiang Chen looked at Fang Qing, "Hurry and apologize to Aunt Pan."
Fang Qing acted as if she hadn’t heard, driving in silence.
Jiang Chen was helpless, couldn’t out-argue her, so he could only turn back, "Aunt Pan, I apologize to you on behalf of Fang Qing. She definitely won’t remain unmarried and childless."
Unmarried and childless?
Please.
Might as well keep silent.
Jiang Chen’s concise summary made Pan Hui’s face darken even more, her chest growing heavy, waves of dizziness assailing her.
