  In the end, after Fang Shiyou discussed with his mother for a long time, they decided to come up with a plan: Fang Shiyou had to pursue Xu Shengnan, win her back, and remarry her. Xu Shengnan was the one who caused them to lose that grandson previously. As such, after they remarried, Xu Shengnan would still have to give birth to a son for the Fang family.

  Otherwise, their two families would owe three houses. Was it that easy to buy a house in the capital? It was already remarkable if an ordinary family could own one house. They were considered rich if they had three houses. This property alone would be worth at least tens of millions of yuan!

  If such a property wasn’t passed down to a grandson of the Fang family, could it be that it would be left to Ling Ling and her future husband after she got married? What use was there to give birth to a daughter? She would be like Xu Shengnan. No matter how much she earned, these would all belong to the Fang family. Only by giving birth to a son would these things be passed down from generation to generation in the Fang family.

  After having this idea, Fang Shiyou started to work on Xu Shengnan. After pursuing her for two to three months, he realized that not only did Xu Shengnan’s attitude to him not become better, but she had become irritated and started to avoid him. Fang Shiyou didn’t hesitate to choose the second route and started to work on Xu Shengnan’s parents and Xu Ling Ling.

  Of course, Xu Shengnan’s parents liked Ling Ling. However, they felt that their daughter was still young. When Ling Ling grew up, not only would she head out to study, but she would also marry someone someday. Both of them were old and the time that they could spend with their daughter was getting lesser and lesser. Without a doubt, they would feel the safest if Xu Shengnan could find another good man to marry.

  \r \r \r

  In the past, no matter how they persuaded, Xu Shengnan refused to date another man. After a long time, it was inevitable Xu Shengnan’s parents would misunderstand that Xu Shengnan’s unwillingness to find another man was because she still couldn’t forget Fang Shiyou.

  If that was really the case, it didn’t matter if they liked Fang Shiyou or not. It was enough as long as their daughter was happy in the future. After being led around the nose by Fang Shiyou, Xu Shengnan’s parents felt that since their daughter hadn’t forgotten Fang Shiyou and that an original couple was still the best, they agreed to help Fang Shiyou.

  Once Xu Shengnan’s parents’ attitude changed, Xu Shengnan immediately became at a loss. She had no choice but to look for Qiao Nan to come up with an idea.

  Qiao Nan let Xu Shengnan drink some water to soothe her throat. “Do you know that for families in China, what most parents lack with their children is communication? They naturally want you to find another man so that he could accompany you in the future. Otherwise, they would be worried that you’ll be alone if Ling Ling gets married in the future. When you fall ill, there won’t be anyone by your side to take care of you. You have to let them know what kind of life would make you happy and what kind of life you could no longer accept. Also, I think you can bring Ling Ling into the picture. Don’t underestimate your daughter. Who knows? Ling Ling might be better than you when it comes to persuading your parents.”

  After all, this was someone else’s family affairs. Back then, Qiao Nan had intervened enough. That was why Qiao Nan wasn’t willing to do so much now. Furthermore, Ling Ling would be an adult who could get her identity card in two years’ time.

  Nowadays, there were a lot of people who could help Xu Shengnan solve problems together. She wasn’t lacking her.

  “Ling Ling?” Xu Shengnan was very surprised that Qiao Nan would mention Ling Ling. “Do you think Ling Ling would want to live together with her father?” She was moved by that man. She could clearly feel thoughtfulness and peace of mind from that man, which was something she could never experience from Fang Shiyou in the past.

  Even if it was not for this man, she was actually not willing to be together with Fang Shiyou again.

  “Rather than hesitating, worrying, and feeling scared here, why don’t you be more open about it? Indeed, it shows that you’re in love. What happened to your IQ? Don’t be scared. Have an open conversation with your family. I assure you that there would be surprises.” She didn’t know if other children would feel vulnerable under such circumstances, but she dared say that Ling Ling wouldn’t.

  Under Qiao Nan’s encouragement, Xu Shengnan finally mustered up the courage and had a conversation with her family.

  The end result was that Fang Shiyou would never be able to see Xu Shengnan’s parents again. After knowing that their daughter no longer had any feelings for Fang Shiyou and didn’t want to be together with him and instead had someone else in her heart, why else would they care about Fang Shiyou, the b*stard ex-son-in-law?

  What a joke!

  Ling Ling’s attitude was firmer. She liked a new father. She had not seen her birth father for so many years and couldn’t remember clearly how he looked like. She only remembered the existence of such a person.

  Yes, Xu Ling Ling knew that there was an uncle who was pursuing her mother. Seeing that her mother didn’t agree to this uncle’s pursuit, she was also worried that her mother still liked that bad father of the past. If that was really the case, Ling Ling couldn’t possibly stop her mother from being together with her bad father just because she liked that uncle, right?

  Thankfully, once someone started talking about it, it wasn’t difficult to say the words that followed. In fact, all the misunderstandings had been cleared. Everyone understood that they were just caring too much about one another’s feelings and had thus misunderstood one another. They were a family. After talking things out, they smiled and were ready to embrace the better days.

  Because of this incident, Xu Shengnan, who had been hesitating, finally accepted this boyfriend. Both of them even discussed to get the marriage certificate three months later. Although they might not have been in love for a long time, they had known each other for five to six years. Coupled with the two years he had been pursuing her, their understanding of each other was definitely deeper than that of ordinary people.

  When Fang Shiyou came knocking on the door again, he didn’t see anyone from the Xu family. Instead, it was a person whom he had never seen before.

  He had dressed up, deliberately went to the salon to get a new hairstyle, and wore a suit which he had just bought. Fang Shiyou came early to the meeting venue and waited for Xu Shengnan to appear. He imagined that the two of them would reconcile after sitting down, and if everything went smoothly, they could get the marriage certificate tomorrow.

  It was just that when this man appeared in front of him, all the beautiful images in Fang Shiyou’s mind disappeared. “Sorry, someone is taking this seat.” Didn’t he see someone as big as him? If he wanted to take a seat, he should have sat to the side. “Although she hasn’t arrived yet, I think there isn’t a shortage of seats at this time, and there isn’t a need for us to share tables.”

  “I’m the person you’re waiting for.”
