Chapter 1725: One after Another
Fang Fang laughed. “Do you mean that your mom’s opinion is unimportant and that your own opinion and feelings are most important? Are you really not upset about breaking up? Is it really that easy for you?” Or was it just a smokescreen to confuse the adults? Could it be that they had broken up on the surface but were still secretly dating behind everyone’s backs?
This was clearly feigning something but doing another!
Based on her son’s intellect, Fang Fang knew that Gao Feng was definitely capable of doing such a thing.
“Easy?” Gao Feng let out a laugh that was uglier than a cry. “Mom, this was your son’s first relationship. I really put all my effort into maintaining my relationship, but it still ended in a breakup. Do you really think it’s easy for me? I may be smiling now, but I’m actually crying inside. Mom, can you stop causing trouble for me? If you really have that much free time, why don’t you find Auntie Qiao for a chat?”
Now that his mom had gone into menopause, no one could make his mom normal. Not him, not his dad. Only Auntie Qiao could do that.
When he was younger, he always thought that Auntie Qiao could open a company for women to befriend other women if she no longer worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Women at his mom’s age had strange tempers and were really out of control. Auntie Qiao had specialized in foreign languages, but she was a natural psychologist. She would be able to calm those weird women undergoing menopause with just a few words.
Gao Feng rubbed his face. He could not imagine the kind of life he would be living if his family did not have Auntie Qiao helping them out along the way.
His mom was often undergoing menopause, and his dad was no different from his mom. Could it be that his wife had passed her menopause on to her partner because they lived together?
If that was really the case, he would have to reconsider getting married when he grew up. He could not commit a folly without being sure of it. Otherwise, he might become as irrational as his father who was as crazy as his mother. That would really be too extreme.
“You little brat! What are you going on about?” Gao Yan unhappily knocked his son on the head.
He was usually very busy because of his company’s business and expansion. It had not been easy for him to take time to spend some time with his wife, but his son was ruining things for him! He had asked Fang Fang to look for Qiao Nan! What was he going to do? Who would spend time with him?
All these years, Qiao Nan had occupied enough of his wife’s time, and his son was such a fool to say such stupid things to Fang Fang. When he was younger, Fang Fang would definitely bring him along whenever he encouraged Fang Fang to visit the Zhai family. That way, he had many more playmates all at once.
But now, he was almost going into university and had still come up with such a childish idea. He was truly hopeless.
“What’re you doing?” Fang Fang was upset that her son was being hit. “Our son has just broken up. Can’t you show more concern as a father? How can you bear to hit him? Remember that he’s not just your son. I carried him for ten months before giving birth to him. If you want to hit someone, go find someone else. I won’t let you hit my son.”
She was still worried about not having a touching reason to comfort her son with. But Gao Yan was ruining the mood by hitting her son. If it was not for her son and the need to maintain Gao Yan’s imposing image in front of his son, Fang Fang would have returned that slap on her son’s behalf.
Gao Yan pouted. All right, Gao Feng was Fang Fang’s son. Her precious son. He would not be able to do anything to this rascal while Fang Fang was around. But there were bound to be times when Fang Fang was not around. As long as Fang Fang was not under Fang Fang’s watchful eye, he would have ample opportunity to deal with that rascal, then.
Gao Feng, who had unknowingly irritated his father, felt that he was too aggrieved. Should he not be the one being comforted now that he had just broken up? Why had he suddenly become his father’s eyesore and thorn in the flesh? Why was his father looking at him so menacingly?
How aggrieved he felt! What had he done?
Gao Feng felt that he had gotten the worst possible treatment for someone who had just broken up.
His dad did not allow his mom to visit Auntie Qiao. But if he was free and wanted to visit Auntie Qiao, his dad should have nothing to say about that, right?
As expected, Gao Yan did not have anything to say about that. His wife did not visit his greatest love rival, Qiao Nan, and the biggest third wheel around them, their son, had finally left them alone to have some time to themselves. Gao Yan felt that this was the life he should be living, and this was what his son ought to do.
Gao Yan, who was as happy as a lark, pulled Fang Fang along for a chat. He continuously persuaded Fang Fang that a boy of Gao Feng’s age was stubborn. The more they tried to persuade him, the more he would want to rebel.
As long as they gave their son enough time and space for him to cool down and think for himself what would be the best way to deal with the matter, their son would eventually come to a realization.
Before that, all they had to do as parents was stand aside and keep their eye on their son, allowing him to think independently to resolve this problem. In that way, they could witness their son’s growth.
As a businessman, as long as Gao Yan worked his magic, he could deceive even ghosts, let alone coax a person. In no time, Fang Fang, whose mind was all focused on education and simpler than others’, completely bought whatever Gao Yan had told her without any hesitation.
Both sets of parents had known about how this couple got along with each other. Initially, Mother and Father Fang had always thought highly of Gao Yan and wanted him to be their son-in-law. But they were a little worried about whether letting Fang Fang marry Gao Yan was them helping their daughter find a good husband, or whether they were committing a folly and were actually pushing their daughter into a firepit.
When the two of them were together, it was obvious that Gao Yan was that sly old fox who had everything in his control. In front of such a sly old fox, their daughter was an innocent bunny who simply followed whatever Gao Yan said. Thankfully, Mother and Father Fang were convinced by their in-laws.
Although Fang Fang was not exactly playing dumb, they could not stop their son from falling for Fang Fang’s trap. Even in terms of intelligence, Fang Fang seemed not to be able to match up to their son.
