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

Chapter 154 You are a coward

Chapter 154 You are a coward
The charity gala is over.

Hotel entrance.

Pei Qingyao, Zhao Xiaotong and others prepared to leave.

Now that Fang Zhou's identity was exposed, no one looked down on him anymore.

What's more, he is Pei Qingyao's friend, and many people also know that Zhao Xiaotong has invested in Fang Zhou's Qihang Media Company.

No matter from which perspective.

Fang Zhou’s identity is not simple now.

Even the Lu family, which had just been provoked, would have to think carefully before taking revenge on Fang Zhou.

"Fang Zhou, you came here by yourself. Do you want me to take you there?"

Pei Qingyao asked.

Fang Zhou shook his head and said:
"Forget it, today's mission is completed."

"You asked me to help you, and I've finally done it."

Pei Qingyao glanced at Fang Zhou:

"Are you here just to help tonight?"

Fang Zhou looked at Pei Qingyao warily:
"if not?"

"You guy, are you possessed by Zhao Xiaotong? Stop doing those useless things."

"Just kidding!"

Pei Qingyao chuckled and left with a few friends.

The change in expression was so natural and so fast that Fang Zhou didn't notice the fleeting disappointment in Pei Qingyao's eyes.

But after Pei Qingyao and her group left.

Zhao Xiaotong looked at Su Mingyue strangely:
"Didn't you ask me to introduce Fang Zhou to you before, saying that you had something to discuss?"

"Why don't you mention what you want to say when you meet someone?"

"Could it be that meeting someone in person is not as good as hearing about them?"

Just at the auction.

After Fang Zhou revealed his identity, Su Mingyue no longer targeted Fang Zhou, but she also did not speak to Fang Zhou.

Su Mingyue smiled faintly:
"forget it."

"I've heard a little about him before, and I feel he's a man of great vision. I'd like to see if there's a chance for us to work together."

"But after what I saw today, I don't think they're very good partners."

"He's crazy!"

“Such a person is considered talented.”

"But there are too many unstable factors. His personality might cause the building to collapse at any time."

“We welcome partners who are innovative and adventurous, but not crazy.”

"By the way, little boy, I have to remind you too."

"Although we don't deal with each other."

"But it's easy to start working with someone like this, but it's hard to maintain a positive attitude. His personality is so easy to offend people."

"Just like today."

"He has offended the Lu family."

"Working with him is fine for short-term operations, but not for long-term investment."

Zhao Xiaotong remained noncommittal:
"You don't have to worry about this."

"Besides, the money I invested in Qihang Media was earned by him, so if I lose it, I lose it."

"I'm not an elitist like you."

"Just think of it as..."

"I was just having fun with my friends."

Su Mingyue frowned slightly.

Seeing Zhao Xiaotong's indifferent expression, she could only shake her head.

Hotel entrance.

The Ark prepared to leave.

Qinglin and Fang Yuru came out from inside.

"Brother, wait a minute."

Fang Qinglin walked towards Fang Zhou, but Fang Yuru did not come over. She stood not far away and looked at this side with red eyes.

Fang Zhou looked at Fang Yuru strangely and asked Qinglin:
"Are you still sad?"

“This is psychological quality.”

"That's not good."

"Just because of that auction incident and the Lu family's bullying, you kept crying for so long?"

Fang Qinglin glanced at Fang Zhou speechlessly.

You are so stupid!
This guy, doesn’t he think that Mom acted like this because Lu Yunjin took the photo for her?

"Brother, are you really stupid?"

"I didn't notice."

"You're actually such a warm-hearted guy!"

Fang Zhou glared at Fang Qinglin.

Warm man = dog licker.

Although I don't know what this guy is talking about, it doesn't sound like he is saying anything good.

He pushed Fang Qinglin's head in a bad mood:
"Cut the nonsense."

"It's getting late, you should go back early."

Fang Qinglin looked Fang Zhou's outfit up and down and couldn't help smacking his lips.

Curious asked:

"How is my sister-in-law now?"

"They haven't seen a style like yours before."

"How about I take a picture of you and show it to my sister-in-law. You actually have this side of you."

Fang Zhou was annoyed:
"What sister-in-law?"

"Don't shout about nothing."

Fang Qinglin looked at Fang Zhou, his expression suddenly becoming serious:
"Brother, you are such a coward."

ark:???
This girl, why is she talking so weird tonight?

Fang Qinglin ignored Fang Zhou's surprise.

continued:

"You refused to give them the identity of your girlfriend, whether it was Tang Tang or Luo Yihe, even though everyone around them thought they were your girlfriends."

"And you always deceive yourself."

"Say she's not my girlfriend."

"In fact."

"It's not like you're completely rejecting boyfriend-girlfriend interactions with them."

"Are you afraid that they will be sad if you reject them?"

Fang Zhou opened his mouth to say something.

Fang Qinglin waved her hand, signaling Fang Zhou not to speak, and continued:
"You don't admit or deny it, it seems like you're waiting for them to make their own choice, to continue or to leave."

“It seems to give them the right to autonomy.”

"In fact."

"It's just a sign of your cowardice."

"You promised Pei Qingyao to pretend to be her boyfriend and attend the party today, so why are you dressed like this?"

"Are you afraid someone will find out?"

"Are you worried that Tang Tang and Luo Yihe would be unhappy if they found out?"

"Didn't you say they weren't your girlfriends? If they were just friends, why would you care so much about their feelings?"

“Sometimes I just can’t figure it out.”

"What's your decision?"

"Just now, in front of hundreds of people, he spent 30 million and rubbed the Su Jinglu family's face on the ground."

"During the college entrance exam, I gave up an entire subject just for Tang Tang."

"You're trying to kill Li Dong."

"elder brother."

"In my heart."

"You are an omnipotent being."

"Why are you so timid when it comes to love?"

"Tang Tang and Luo Yihe are excellent, but so what? They are the ones pursuing you. If they are willing to pursue you, just accept it."

"If they can't accept it, then we can just part ways amicably."

"So secretive."

"Do you think they really don't know each other's existence?"

"You do that."

"It's just a trick to cover up one's own mistakes!"

"They're not afraid, and they're not forcing you to make a choice. Why are you hesitating here?"

Faced with Fang Qinglin's aggressive questioning, Fang Zhou suddenly felt guilty and looked around awkwardly.

It felt like being stripped naked and still standing in the sun.

Na Na said:
"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Fang Qinglin stared at Fang Zhou without fear and suddenly said:
"I like you, I have liked you for a long time."

"I wasn't sure what my feelings for you were before."

"Later, I gradually confirmed what I was thinking, but I had some concerns at that time."

"It's different now."

"Everyone knows that I am not a biological child."

"And now, I am no longer a member of the Fang family."

"I can pursue you openly now, and others won't say anything if they find out."

Fang Zhou looked at Fang Qinglin speechlessly.

It seems like this guy has been talking for so long just for this?

However, Fang Qinglin's sudden confession caught Fang Zhou off guard, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Scratching my head:

"You're a little devil." "Do you know what love is?"

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore. I'm leaving."

Fang Zhou turned and left, but his figure looked a little embarrassed.

Fang Qinglin let out a sigh.

She said those words in one breath.

Now it's not the best ending though.

but.

Speak your mind.

She felt much more comfortable and relieved.

On the way back.

Fang Yuru's mind was in a mess.

I have been thinking about what just happened at the charity auction.

After returning to the apartment, she remembered to ask Fang Qinglin what had just happened.

Wait until Fang Qinglin finishes talking about what happened in the side hall.

Fang Yuru felt a little scared.

It was so thrilling.

If Fang Zhou hadn't noticed something was wrong and gone over to look for him, who knows what would have happened.

"Qinglin, are you okay?"

Although they all came back.

Fang Yuru still checked Qinglin's body all over.

Fang Qinglin took Fang Yuru's hand and pulled her to sit on the sofa:

"It's okay, there will be no problem with such a warm man here."

"A warm man?"

"That's my brother."

Fang Qinglin curled his lips:
"I really don't know if he did it on purpose."

"He's incredibly smart in other areas, but incredibly slow in some things."

"Just now he thought you were crying because you were sad."

"But I don't know."

"Mom, you are crying because of the warmth."

Fang Yuru's body stiffened. Fang Qinglin's words made her feel embarrassed.

Not daring to look at his daughter, he argued:
"No way."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not crying, I just got sand in my eyes."

"By the way, why is your brother going to a charity gala and dressed like that?"

Fang Qing found it interesting:
"You should have heard it too. He is Pei Qingyao's companion."

"From what I heard, it was the Pei family that wanted Pei Qingyao to marry, but Pei Qingyao wasn't happy about it and said she already had a boyfriend, so she asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend."

"You know my personality."

"A friend asked for help, but he couldn't resist and was also afraid his sister-in-law would be unhappy if she knew."

"So I dressed like that on purpose."

"If my mother hadn't been bullied, he wouldn't have been able to help but reveal his identity."

"I guess in the end, no one will know his identity, and then his goal will be achieved."

Fang Yuru listened quietly to Fang Qinglin's explanation and fell into deep thought.

Fang Qinglin frowned slightly:

"but……"

Fang Yuru looked over:
"But what?"

Fang Qinglin:
"I just feel like my brother is weird."

"There are times when he seems to not care about anything and is somewhat reckless."

"With his intelligence and foresight, it's impossible for him not to know the consequences of his actions, but he seems to be completely indifferent to the consequences."

"For example, the college entrance examination."

"Like what happened tonight."

Hear this.

Fang Yuru suddenly trembled all over.

She didn't know much about Ark before, but she felt that Fang Ark's personality changed a lot after that incident.

Now listen to what my daughter said.

She felt as if it was just as Fang Qinglin said.

To put it bluntly, Fang Ark now seems to be indifferent to life and death and doesn't care about anything.

Fang Qinglin noticed it, but didn't understand why.

But what she said.

But it awakened Fang Yuru.

Fang Yuru thought about what had happened to Fang Zhou before.

In that short last moment, he must have had a lot of insights.

The Ark has become like this now, it must be because of that incident. People who have died once no longer care about life or death.

I don't care about life or death.

How could I care about anything else?

Think of this.

Fang Yuru's heart was filled with bitterness.

Looking at Fang Qinglin's sad face beside her, she couldn't tell her daughter about this.

Fang Qinglin said doubtfully:

"in my opinion."

"My heart is like two layers."

"The inner layer has very little space, so only a little can be squeezed in, but the shell that protects this layer is indestructible."

"It was a closed space, and he put his inner self in there."

“It’s hard to touch that layer from the outside.”

"As for the rest."

"He just didn't care at all."

Seeing her daughter thinking hard, Fang Yuru touched Fang Qinglin's head:

"Stop thinking nonsense."

"correct."

"Are you telling your brother..."

Fang Qinglin nodded:
"Yeah, I just confessed to him."

During the last meal, Fang Yuru drank too much and expressed her thoughts. Fang Qinglin was not worried that his mother would object.

Sure enough, Fang Yuru was somewhat relieved:

"That's very good."

"Actually, I've been optimistic about you guys for a long time."

"But this kind of thing is, after all, a matter of mutual affection. Although Mom supports you, I hope you won't be too humble in this matter and don't lose yourself."

Feeling that this topic was a bit heavy, Fang Yuru changed the subject:
"By the way, Qinglin."

"Actually, there's something I'm quite curious about."

"During the period before the college entrance examination, Fang Zhou was upset and against you."

"Then his attitude suddenly changed. What happened during that time?"

Fang Qinglin blinked his almond-shaped eyes.

Think about it:

"Actually, I don't know either."

"Anyway, you know, I seem to have become a different person after that incident."

"After he changed, if I ignored him, he would also ignore me. But as long as I showed a little kindness, he would definitely respond. He really treated me as his sister."

“That’s when I realized it.”

"Brother may seem cold and unkind, but he cherishes the people he cares about very much."

Fang Qinglin's eyes were elegant, as if he was thinking of something happy.

Fang Yuru felt something in her heart.

Thinking that his situation was different from Fang Qinglin's.

If it weren’t for what I did before, I might be the same as Fang Qinglin now.

This can only be said to be her own fault.

Fang Yuru stood up and said:
"It's quite late."

"You should go to bed early."

"But you should also be careful about you and your brother. There are many girls who like him, and they are all very outstanding."

Fang Qinglin was full of fighting spirit:

"Fair competition."
