Chapter 471: Gao Fangfang's Love

~8 min read 1,477 words

Wu Huifen put down the phone, hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell her sister later; since Lu Yike hadn't said anything, she didn't intend to overstep.

"Sigh, what is all this."

Wu Huifen thought of her own daughter again, hoping that when the time came, she wouldn't give her a surprise like Lu Yike did.

Come to think of it, her daughter Gao Fangfang also started university last year, only it was in Sijiucheng;

At the time, with Qi Tongwei and his wife there to look after her, they weren't worried, but now that Qi Tongwei had been transferred to Luzhou, the only information they had about their daughter was what she reported herself.

However, both she and Gao Yuliang were relatively open-minded parents; as long as Gao Fangfang liked the person herself, and the man wasn't some kind of mess, it would be fine.

The next day, on the Qingbei campus in Sijiucheng, a man and a woman walked along a tree-lined path; the woman was Gao Fangfang, and the man was Zhang Weihe, Zhang Ping'an's little nephew.

The two had met at a freshman mixer, where Zhang Weihe was the Student Union President, and he had taken a fancy to Gao Fangfang in the crowd at first sight.

Gao Fangfang had changed quite a bit as she grew up; she didn't take after Wu Huifen, nor did she look like Gao Yuliang, belonging to that type of girl with a rather heroic appearance.

The two had only gotten to know each other's families, and didn't know that their elders were acquainted as well.

"Fangfang, I'll be graduating this summer vacation. Why don't I go back to Jingzhou with you then to meet your uncle and aunt?"

"This, alright."

Gao Fangfang hadn't originally intended to confess to her family so soon, but she couldn't resist her boyfriend wanting to visit and establish his status.

Right after school started after the New Year, the two had gone to Nanluoguxiang, where quite a few old neighbors had teased them at the time.

"Weihe, is this girl your partner?"

"Yes, Auntie Yang."

Weihe admitted it openly and generously, and Gao Fangfang didn't get stage fright either, following Weihe to greet the neighbors one by one.

"Brother Jiecheng."

"Brother Zhuzi."

"Brother Damao."

"..."

"Your seniority is so high? I see those brothers aren't young at all."

"Yeah, my dad was born when my grandma was over forty, so he's actually younger than my cousin."

"Back then, my parents married early and lived at my eldest uncle's house; they only built their own house after my brother was born."

"My dad is only three years older than the eldest son of my eldest uncle's family; that's how my seniority ended up being so high."

As they spoke, they walked to the Yueliangmen and turned into their own courtyard.

"This is my home," Zhang Weihe said, pointing to the courtyard on the north side.

"This side is my eldest uncle's house, but he moved away; the people living here now are my cousin's family."

No sooner had Zhang Weihe finished speaking than Qin Jingru opened the courtyard gate.

"Mom, this is Fangfang, my partner."

"Ah, hello, Auntie."

"Good, good, good, come on in and sit."

Qin Jingru was in her early fifties, but because she practiced a simplified version of the Body Refining Technique, had been eating and drinking with Zhang Ping'an's family, and used Skin Cream daily, she looked to be only in her early forties.

"Auntie, your skin is really good; you don't look like someone who is fifty at all."

Gao Fangfang looked at Qin Jingru; she was much older than her mother, but her face looked about the same age as her mother's.

"Hehe, Fangfang, let me tell you, we women have to take care of ourselves. I'll give you a bottle of Skin Cream later."

"Auntie regrets that I didn't know anything when I was young; otherwise, I would definitely still be young now."

Qin Jingru wasn't lying; in that era, nobody wore makeup, and vanishing cream was only for the wealthy.

This was also the reason why Zhang Ping'an hadn't opened a pharmaceutical factory in the country early on; whether it was Medicinal Wine or Skin Cream, there wasn't much of a market for them at the time.

"Mm-hmm."

"Fangfang, this is my dad, my brother and sister-in-law, and my little sister."

"Hello, Uncle, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, Little Sister."

Everyone knew Weihe was bringing his partner home today, so the whole family was gathered together.

Zhang Xile looked even younger, certainly under forty by his appearance, but Gao Fangfang knew this future father-in-law was nearly fifty.

"Hey, good."

"Second Sister-in-law," Weiyu said. Gao Fangfang blushed at the words and didn't make a sound.

"Ahem, call her Sister Fangfang."

"Oh, Sister Fangfang."

"Mm."

Gao Fangfang had a very good upbringing and was very open and generous; she was able to get along well with her future mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and the younger sister.

"How was it, Fangfang? My family is easy to get along with, right?" Weihe asked on the way back to drop Gao Fangfang off.

"Mm, Uncle and Auntie are very nice, and your brother, sister-in-law, and little sister are too."

"Then I'll be graduating this summer vacation. Why don't I go back to Jingzhou with you then to meet your uncle and aunt?" This led to the scene from before.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was July and summer vacation; Gao Fangfang returned to Jingzhou with Zhang Weihe, who was carrying large and small bags.

As soon as the two exited the airport, there was already a car waiting.

"General Manager He, here are the keys."

"Mm, thanks."

"Let's go, Fangfang."

"This, what is going on? You know people in Jingzhou too?"

"Uh, didn't I mention it? My dad works at my eldest uncle's company; my eldest uncle's company is quite large and has businesses in Jingzhou too."

"Which one?"

"Oriental Supermarket."

"Oriental Supermarket? That Oriental Supermarket from the Oriental Group?"

"Yes."

"Then is your uncle Zhang Ping'an?"

"How did you know?"

"Then do you also know Brother Tongwei?"

"I do, he is my uncle's godson."

"Wait a second, Brother Tongwei? You know him too?"

"..."

The two of them just stared at each other wide-eyed in the car, and soon they had cleared up the relationship.

Back when she was at home, Gao Fangfang had heard Qi Tongwei and her father talk about Zhang Ping'an more than once, so she had remembered the name.

Later, after she was admitted to the university in Sijiucheng, she and Qi Tongwei had even gone to see Zhang Ping'an, but she just hadn't expected Zhang Weihe to be Zhang Ping'an's nephew.

"That really is a coincidence."

At this time, in Gao Yuliang's home, the couple learned that their daughter was dating someone and was going to bring him home, so Gao Yuliang rushed back from Luzhou immediately.

"Teacher Wu, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know either. Fangfang never said anything, and then suddenly she's dating someone."

"I know, I know! Big sister was on the phone every day during winter break, and she wouldn't let me listen in," said Gao Yunfan.

Gao Yuliang's twin sons, Gao Yunfei and Gao Yunfan, betrayed Gao Fangfang without hesitation.

"Yunfan, why didn't you say anything sooner?"

"I didn't know either; I only just remembered because you mentioned it."

"Knock, knock, knock."

"It's big sister back."

The two brothers hurried to open the door, and upon opening it, they saw Gao Fangfang and Zhang Weihe, who was carrying large and small bags in his hands.

"Sister."

The two brothers pulled Gao Fangfang behind them, then looked at Zhang Weihe with scrutinizing expressions.

"..."

"Yunfei, Yunfan, that's rude."

Gao Yuliang's voice rang out from behind; he walked to the door and was stunned when he saw Zhang Weihe, feeling that his features looked somewhat familiar.

"Uncle, I am Zhang Weihe."

"Mm, come in and talk."

On the sofa in the Gao family living room, the father and his two sons were all looking at Zhang Weihe with scrutiny, while Gao Fangfang had already been pulled away by Teacher Wu for interrogation.

Looking at the two children pretending to be serious, Zhang Weihe couldn't help but laugh, but seeing the serious face of his future father-in-law, he also forced back his smile.

"Uncle, my family is..."

Zhang Weihe briefly explained his family situation, without mentioning Zhang Ping'an.

"Mm."

Gao Yuliang nodded; although he was not in politics, he could see that Zhang Weihe was open and forthright, so his upbringing must be quite good.

The family situation he had just introduced did not seem like an ordinary family, and with these large and small bags of gifts, the family business must be quite substantial.
