Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Chapter 143 The Secret of That Year

On the way back in the car, Fang Zhou thought about it and called Qinglin.

However, Qinglin did not respond until the blind tone.

Put down the phone.

Seeing that Tang Tang had remained silent, Fang Zhou explained:

"As you know, Qinglin was adopted by my family. Today, two people came to her school and claimed to be her biological parents. I guess that girl was also confused."

"I'll go back and take a look."

"This matter is a bit complicated. I will explain it to you in detail later."

Tang Tang was delighted.

This was originally Fang Zhou's family matter.

If we were just ordinary friends, there would be no need for explanation.

But he said he would tell me later, does that mean... he considers me a close friend!

Tang Tang nodded and said:

"Just mind your own business."

"Fang Qinglin is so smart and good at studying, it shouldn't be too much of a problem."

This kind of plot that only appears in novels happened around her, and Tang Tang felt it was quite novel.

Fang Zhou shook his head slightly:

"You think too highly of her."

"Don't underestimate her, she's actually quite good at studying."

"I'm not as strong as you think."

"She knew she was adopted when she was little. She looked aloof, but she actually had a low self-esteem."

"When I was little, I was a people-pleaser. I wanted to do everything well, let my family see my efforts, and gain recognition."

"I didn't know much at that time."

"Summer vacation after the high school entrance exam."

"Something happened between us that made her sad, and she became distant."

Tang Tang glanced at Fang Zhou. Fang Zhou had mentioned some of these things to her before, and she knew that Fang Zhou also regretted it.

"It's all in the past."

"To be honest, I envy Fang Qinglin for having a brother."

I know Tang Tang is comforting herself.

Fang Zhou smiled and said:

"Didn't you call me brother at noon?"

Tang Tang's body stiffened, and she turned her head to the other side to look out the window, but her ears turned red.

Now when I think about what happened at noon, I feel a little ashamed.

Seeing Tang Tang's expression, Fang Zhou stopped talking.

Thinking about countermeasures.

Li Gencai, the village chief of the village where Fang Qinglin's biological parents lived, told Fang Zhou the situation.

Fang Qinglin's biological father is Li Haimin and his mother is Ge Yingmei.

The last time I went to Nanwu, I wanted to find the daughter I abandoned.

But it was not because of repentance or any family affection. He just wanted to find his daughter, bring her back and exchange some dowry for his son's wife.

Fang Zhou found their home address.

During May Day.

After making preparations, I found their hometown.

In Li Xinmin’s hometown, I learned about his family situation.

In that kind of place, other relationships cannot restrain Li Haimin, but having lived in the countryside all his life, village officials can exert the greatest oppression on their family.

In order to prevent them from continuing to look for Qinglin, Fang Zhou made a deal with Li Gencai.

Li Gencai agreed to suppress Li Haimin.

And it really worked.

Li Haimin never went to Nanwu to look for his daughter again.

On the one hand, he did not find any clues when he came to Nanwu before, and on the other hand, Li Gencai was obstructing him, so Li Haimin did not dare to disobey.

But after the college entrance examination.

Fang Qinglin's achievements were so outstanding that they were reported nationwide.

A neighbor in their village saw Fang Qinglin's photo and said that Fang Qinglin looked very similar to Ge Yingmei. He even joked that it was possible that it was his daughter who had disappeared that year.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously, and Li Xinmin took it to heart.

Check the results online.

It turns out that it is not impossible.

From the Internet, they found out that Fang Qinglin was from Nanwu, was adopted, and happened to be eighteen years old.

All aspects of information can be matched.

Key appearance.

Very similar to Li Xinmin and Ge Yingmei.

Naturally, he also found out about the Fang family who adopted Fang Qinglin and knew that the Fang family was rich.

The neighbors started to make a fuss, saying that Li Haimin's daughter was adopted by a rich man, and that the Li family had married into a wealthy family. As long as the Li family recognized the daughter, the family would be rich in the future.

That's why Li Haimin and Ge Yingmei came out again.

And this time.

They went straight to Fang Qinglin's school.

This is also why Li Gen said that this situation occurred because Fang Qinglin was too outstanding.

Back to the city.

Fang Zhou first sent Tang Tang back to school, and then went to Su Jing University.

Soochow University, second floor of Nanyuan Complex Building.

It was past dinner time.

It's the weekend again.

There are not many people on the second floor of the complex.

When Fang Zhou found a place, the four of them sat facing each other.

Fang Zhou walked over and saw Li Haimin and Ge Yingmei sitting opposite him.

Fang Zhou had seen photos of the two before, and had also seen them from a distance in their hometown, so he recognized them at first sight.

Fang Qinglin and Fang Yuru turned their backs to Fang Zhou.

When the Ark arrived.

Fang Yuru was taking out a bank card, putting it on the table and pushing it towards the two men.

"What a bloody plot."

Fang Zhou touched his nose.

This look.

It really feels like a TV drama.

When Li Haimin and Ge Yingmei heard that there was 500,000 yuan in the card, they looked at each other.

I thought to myself that it was a good decision to come here. It seemed that my family was really going to start to prosper, so I reached out to take the bank card.

But not yet in hand.

The bank card was taken by a hand next to him.

pat.

Fang Zhou dragged a chair over.

Sitting next to the four people, he crossed his legs, held the bank card upright in his hand, and tapped it lightly on the table, making a "click, click, click" sound.

"Xiaozhou, you are here."

"elder brother!"

See the Ark.

Fang Yuru and Fang Qinglin both seemed to be relieved.

When encountering such a thing suddenly, not to mention Fang Qinglin, even Fang Yuru was a little hesitant and didn't know how to deal with it.

When I first saw Li Haimin and Ge Yingmei.

Fang Yuru's heart skipped a beat.

I feel like these two people should be Qinglin’s biological parents.

Fang Yuru's mind was in a mess when she thought that the daughter she had raised for eighteen years might be taken away.

Fang Zhou glanced at the two of them. Fang Yuru was nervous, and Fang Qinglin had a blank look with red eyes, obviously still a little shocked.

Ge Yingmei looked at Fang Zhou and frowned:
"Who are you?"

He looked at the card in Fang Zhou's hand, feeling a little reluctant.

However, he was somewhat afraid of Fang Zhou's identity and the young man's imposing aura, so he didn't dare to make any move.

Fang Zhou ignored Ge Yingmei and looked at Fang Qinglin and said:
"What's going on?"

"You didn't even answer my call just now."

Li Haimin looked at Fang Zhou like that, coughed dryly and said:
"We are Juanzi's parents."

"Juanzi was taken away by someone. We searched for her for many years and now we have finally found her. We plan to bring her home."

Before coming, Li Haimin and Ge Yingmei had a clear plan.

Judging from the news outside.

Fang Yuru likes and values Fang Qinglin.

Just for this reason, I can definitely get some benefits from the Fang family.

So when they met Fang Qinglin at the school gate, they immediately acted as if they were going to take Fang Qinglin away.

really.

Fang Yuru immediately took out money to appease him.

But I didn't expect that when the plan was about to be accomplished, it was stopped by this kid.

This guy.

He should be Fang Yuru's son.

After hearing Li Haimin's words, Fang Yuru looked anxious.

Just as he was about to appease her, Fang Zhou spoke:
"Okay."

"That would be great."

"Now all the money of the Fang family belongs to me."

"Originally, we had an adopted sister, and they said we would divide the Fang family's property equally. Now things are different."

Fang Zhou said nonchalantly.

But he secretly observed the two people.

Knowing what kind of people they were, Fang Zhou naturally didn't look happy.

I think the impression of these two people in front of me about wealthy families probably comes from TV dramas. What I just said should be in line with the character of a vicious brother of an adopted daughter.

Ark's words.

The four people around him were stunned.

Fang Qinglin looked at Fang Zhou in surprise, seeming a little dumbfounded.

Fang Yuru pulled Fang Zhou's arm.

He frowned and said:

"Small boat."

"How can you say that?"

"Qinglin is your sister, why do you not care about her? Didn't you two get along well before?"

Li Haimin and his wife did not expect that an ark would suddenly appear.

The son of the Fang family.

Although they know, they don't understand much.

Fang Zhou leaned back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, looking at Fang Yuru and frowning slightly.

How does this brain deal with the intrigues in the business world?

He curled his lips.

Some said sarcastically:
"Didn't you say before that blood ties are inseparable?"

"Now Fang Qinglin finally knows who her biological parents are. After more than ten years of separation, they were not allowed to experience the affection of their family. It was a scene of a family reunion."

"how."

"Aren't you happy for Qinglin?"

Fang Yuru's face turned pale.

She suddenly realized that the current scene was very similar to the situation at that time.

ironnically.

The roles were reversed.

Fang Zhou mentioned Fang Qinglin's biological parents, but Fang Yuru is now extremely resistant to the so-called blood relationship.

The boomerang flew out and hit himself in the end.

this moment.

Fang Yuru felt what Fang Zhou felt at that time.

Without paying any more attention to Fang Yuru, Fang Zhou turned to look at Li Haimin, who had a grim expression on his face.

"how?"

"I heard my daughter is going back, why does she seem a little unhappy?"

"By the way, our Fang family has raised Fang Qinglin, your Juanzi, for so many years. You should pay for her support, right?"

"These past ten years have cost our family a lot of money."

"If you don't have money, just write an IOU."

The scene was a little quiet for a while.

Li Haimin was confused.

I originally wanted to pretend to take Fang Qinglin away.

If the Fang family is reluctant to give it up, then they can ask for money from the Fang family, and this is a long-term deal.

This is the current situation.

Something seems wrong!

Fang Qinglin, who should have been sad, looked at Fang Zhou with some confusion.

She could see that Fang Zhou had obvious hostility towards the two people in front of him, and Fang Qinglin wondered why Fang Zhou had such an attitude.

Could it be.

Doesn't he want to be alone?
But why did he ask someone to take him away quickly?

Fang Qinglin's mind was already in a mess because of what happened today, and it was even more confused now.

Seeing Fang Zhou looking at her sarcastically, Fang Yuru looked reluctant.

Li Xinmin stood up:
"I don't want to waste my time on you."

"Juanzi."

"Come home with us."

Li Haimin reached out to grab Fang Qinglin's arm.

Fang Zhou waved his hand and opened Li Haimin's arm with a "pop", narrowed his eyes and said:

"what."

"You're yelling at me."

"You said you are Fang Qinglin's parents, so you are her parents. Where is the evidence?"

"Just some random thing pops up and claims to be Fang Qinglin's biological parents, and then takes away the people the Fang family has raised for so many years?"

"It's a brainless letter."

"I don't believe it."

"besides."

"Know a little bit about the law."

"You abandoned your daughter back then."

"Even if it's proven that you're related by blood, she can still choose not to go back."

Fang Zhou frowned and looked at Fang Yuru.

Fang Yuru felt a little guilty, knowing that Fang Zhou was blaming her, and said nervously:
"The time they mentioned earlier matches..."

Fang Zhou looked at Fang Yuru:
"Use your brain."

"You can't just say something like that to confirm something. You need to have facts to back it up."

Despite what Fang Zhou said, Fang Yuru also ignited hope:
"Yeah."

"This kind of thing definitely requires evidence."

"What if it's just a coincidence? It may not be true." As she said that, Fang Yuru wanted Ge Yingmei to give her a strand of hair so that she could do a paternity test.

But Fang Zhou reached out to stop him.

Ark knows.

The other party is indeed Fang Qinglin’s biological parents.

When he found their hometown before, he had already used the other party's things to do a paternity test.

Fang Zhou reached out and pulled a hair from Fang Qinglin's head and handed it to Li Haimin.

"Take it for a paternity test."

"If Fang Qinglin is really your daughter, then take Fang Qinglin away. You will have nothing to do with the Fang family in the future."

Then he turned to look at Fang Yuru:

"Why are you so active?"

"They said Fang Qinglin was their daughter, so shouldn't they be the ones to prove it?"

"You want to find Fang Qinglin's biological parents so badly."

"Are you anxious to kick her out?"

Fang Yuru looked at Fang Zhou and turned her head away in grievance, unable to refute what was said.

This happened so suddenly.

this time.

Many things happened to Fang Yuru.

After the divorce, her son had conflicts with her and was unwilling to go home, which almost severed the mother-son relationship. Now she only had her daughter to talk to.

A good family.

Suddenly it fell apart.

This was a big blow to Fang Yuru.

Now someone suddenly came to the door and said they were Fang Qinglin’s biological parents. Fang Yuru was stunned.

If Fang Qinglin was really taken away.

Fang Yuru felt like the sky was falling.

On the way to Suzhou.

Fang Yuru was thinking that no matter what the cost, she must not let Fang Qinglin be taken away.

That's why Fang Yuru was anxious to pay the money for Li Haimin and his wife.

From what I just said.

Fang Yuru could hear the resentment in Fang Zhou's heart.

And now, thinking that she might lose her daughter because of this hateful blood relationship, Fang Yuru could better understand the resentment in Fang Zhou's heart at that time.

But I can understand it.

Can also understand.

But Ark said so.

Fang Yuru still felt uncomfortable and wronged.

After being so aggressively treated by Fang Zhou, Fang Qinglin's mind gradually became clearer.

Seeing my mother was upset, I said to Fang Zhou:

"Brother~~~"

"Mom just thinks about them spending money."

From their clothes, it can be seen that the Li family's financial situation is not good.

Fang Qinglin felt very conflicted.

These two people may very well be his biological parents.

But in Fang Qinglin's heart, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth.

No matter what the reason.

I grew up in the Fang family.

But if the other party is really his biological parents, Fang Qinglin also wants to have a better relationship.

Fang Qinglin knew that his mother had been trying to please him just now because she wanted to establish a good relationship with the Li family so that she could get better conditions when discussing Fang Qinglin's matter later.

Fang Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth.

The bank card in his hand spun rapidly between his fingers.

He sneered and said:
"Got it."

"I'm the only bad guy."

With that, Fang Zhou stood up and prepared to leave.

Fang Qinglin quickly stood up and ran over to hug Fang Zhou's arm:
"Brother, it's not what you think."

Her eyes were red and she looked at Fang Zhou with grievance.

Fang Zhou whispered:

"They're not looking for you with good intentions."

After looking at a few people, I felt a little annoyed by such tricks.

He said to Qinglin seriously:

"You decide."

"You make the decision on this matter yourself, or let me help you solve it."

"You know how I do things, and you've seen what happened to Li Dong. If you want me to make the decision, don't interfere."

"If you make your own decision, I won't care."

Fang Yuru's expression changed.

Mentioning Li Dong made her expression a little unnatural.

The sudden mention of Li Dong at this time made Fang Yuru feel a little uneasy.

Fang Qinglin looked up at Fang Zhou.

"Brother, help me."

Fang Zhou nodded and took Fang Qinglin to sit down at the table again.

He glanced at Li Xinmin and Ge Yingmei and said:
"Has the money run out?"

money?
All four of them were stunned.

Li Xinmin frowned and looked at Fang Zhou:

"Young man, I don't know what you mean by that."

Fang Yuru and Fang Qinglin also looked at Fang Zhou in surprise.

Fang Zhou's fingertips tapped on the table, making a "da da da" sound, which made Li Xinmin a little upset.

Just when he could hardly bear it anymore.

Fang Zhou then spoke:
"Twenty thousand yuan is still money. I believe Li Gen doesn't have the guts to swallow twenty thousand yuan."

This nonsensical sentence made Li Xinmin and Ge Yingmei's faces change drastically.

Li Xinmin said stubbornly:
"I do not know what you're talking about!"

Although she didn't know the situation, but seeing the expressions of those two people, Fang Yuru guessed that Fang Zhou knew something that she didn't know.

It was not a good time to ask, so he could only stare at Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou's hands were tapping more and more rapidly:
"Why are you here again?"

"The last time I came here, it was because Li Yuhao's girlfriend's family wanted a betrothal gift. Could it be that this time, he has found a partner again?"

"But that's not right."

"He was drinking with a group of people in the county town a while ago and cut someone's head open. Now he's hiding in his hometown."

Seeing the two people's faces change drastically, Fang Zhou showed a hint of sarcasm.

Youyou said:

"Twenty years ago, you left your one-year-old son to be taken care of by the elderly and went to work in Nanwu."

"Eighteen years ago, I gave birth to a daughter."

"But you were so obsessed with having a son that on New Year's Eve you left your newborn daughter at the door of the orphanage, leaving her to fend for herself."

"It was snowing that night, and it was dark. This was almost like murder."

"I lost my daughter."

"You're afraid the police will find you."

"I left Nanwu and returned to my hometown. Four years later, I had a son."

“Not entirely.”

"Before this son, I had a daughter. However, just over a month after she was born, after you collected the money for the full moon banquet, she suddenly died."

"You said you were sick."

"But someone visited your house when the accident happened."

"The body was bluish-purple and had a swollen face, which is consistent with suffocation."

"But you said you died of illness, and no one wanted to cause trouble, so you were fine."

"half year ago."

"Your eldest son, Li Yuhao, has found a partner, and the other party wants a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan."

"You didn't have that much money. Li Yuhao was making a scene at home, so you thought of your daughter who you lost, so you went back to Nanwu to look for her. But after a week of searching, you found nothing, so you went back."

"June."

"The college entrance examination results are out."

"You saw Fang Qinglin's photo and felt that this was your daughter."

"I found out about Fang Qinglin's school and the Fang family's situation, and came here after making preparations. Is that right?"

As one thing after another was thrown out, the expressions of Li Xinmin and Ge Yingmei became worse and worse, and they also revealed expressions of fear.

Fang Yuru and Fang Qinglin's expressions became increasingly ugly.

I don’t know how Ark knew this.

But look at their expressions.

Fang Qinglin and Fang Yuru knew that what Fang Zhou said should be true.

Look at the eyes of the two people opposite.

It already feels like looking at an animal.

Fang Qinglin felt sad when he thought that his biological parents were such people.

Ge Yingmei stared at Fang Zhou and said with gritted teeth:

"You are so slanderous!"

"There is no such thing at all."

Before coming, they naturally thought that the Fang family would stop them and cause trouble for their family. After all, the Fang family did treat Fang Qinglin well.

These things are no secret in their hometown.

only.

It’s hard to verify.

No one knows the truth about why Fang Qinglin was abandoned.

As for the little girl's death, so many years have passed and there is no evidence at all, so they are so fearless.

The one who felt the most uncomfortable at this time was Fang Qinglin.

See your biological parents.

She couldn't accept it for a while.

When Fang Qinglin heard them say that the child was secretly taken away, he began to feel confused.

But at this moment, after listening to what Fang Zhou said, all that was left in her heart was anger and a hint of sadness.

I also understand why Fang Ark has been angry just now.

Why target Li Xinmin?

because.

He knew it from the beginning.

But Fang Qinglin was a little confused. How did Fang Zhou know?
Fang Zhou waved at the two of them:

"Whether it's slander or not, you know for yourself."

"But no matter what, if you want to take Qinglin away, you must first get a paternity test report of your blood relationship."

"Until there is evidence."

"Don't bother Fang Qinglin anymore."

"Don't try to be a rogue. Think about why I know these things."

"Think more about Li Yuhao and Li Yuxuan. Money is sometimes more useful than you think."

Hearing these threatening words, Ge Yingmei wanted to say a few more tough words, but Li Xinmin realized that Fang Zhou was not the type to talk big.

Pulled Ge Yingmei.

He wrapped the hair that Fang Qinglin had just touched with a tissue and left with Ge Yingmei in embarrassment.

After the two left, Fang Yuru and Fang Qinglin looked at Fang Zhou.

Fang Yuru felt a little guilty:
"Small boat."

Fang Zhou said lightly:

“I originally thought that blood ties were really important.”

"Now it seems that it was just selfishness."

"Because you want it, the blood relationship between me and Li Dong is important. Because you don't want it, the blood relationship between Qinglin and the Li family is not important."

"You were told."

"Li Dong and the Li family are really similar!"

Fang Zhou's words made Fang Yuru's face turn paler and paler.

It suddenly occurred to her.

I already know what kind of people the Li family is.

Qinglin himself was resisting, but suddenly someone came out and stood on the moral high ground, asking Qinglin to acknowledge his biological parents. What kind of feeling was that?

Thinking about this situation, Fang Yuru felt a little suffocated.

Fang Zhou was facing the same situation at that time, and he was the one with the moral high ground!

Think of this.

Fang Yuru's body swayed.

Seeing Fang Zhou looking at Fang Qinglin, Fang Yuru felt a little panicked.

He grabbed Fang Zhou's hand and said in a hoarse voice:
"Small boat."

"I know you hate me."

"But this has nothing to do with Qinglin. She is your sister."

"People like the Li family won't treat Qinglin well. Qinglin has always been very good to you. You...you shouldn't hurt Qinglin."

"You have something to be dissatisfied with."

"Come at me, okay?"

Fang Yuru knew.

In the past six months, Fang Zhou seemed to have become a completely different person.

Fang Zhou's behavior just now clearly showed that he had investigated Fang Qinglin's affairs, and even found out about her biological parents.

You have to know that year.

She and Lao Fang also had someone investigate Fang Qinglin's background.

I was also afraid of something like this happening, so I wanted to prepare in advance.

However, despite the Fang family's power, they couldn't find any information after many years of searching. It was not until Fang Qinglin was in his teens that Fang Yuru slowly gave up.

Fang Zhou actually found out.

So, why did he investigate this matter?
Thinking of Fang Zhou’s previous attitude towards Fang Qinglin, it was hard for Fang Yuru not to think too much.

Fang Qinglin's identity is exposed.

With the methods Fang Zhou has shown recently, it would be easy to drive Fang Qinglin out of the Fang family.

Fang Qinglin saw Fang Yuru's appearance, held her hand and said:
"Mom, you misunderstood me."

"Brother is very good to me."

"elder brother."

"Mom knows she was wrong."

"She has regretted it many times in front of me. Please...don't bully her, okay?"

Fang Zhou gave Fang Qinglin a cold look.

See Fang Zhou's expression.

Fang Qinglin knew that Fang Zhou's anger had subsided a lot.

She quickly went over and hugged Fang Zhou's arm with a shameless face, and asked coquettishly:
"elder brother."

"How do you know about them?"

"Besides, the 20,000 yuan you just mentioned, did you give it to them?"

"They don't deserve money for what they did, but I know you're doing this for me, brother."
