“Dad, I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight earlier…” Fang Jianan wanted to explain, but he could only shut up when the old man gave him a cold look. However, he had no intention of apologizing to Fang Yichu.

He was not the only one. No one felt that Fang Jianan should apologize to Fang Yichu.

Jiao Yuebai saw that the atmosphere in the room was not right and smiled charmingly out of the sudden. She reached out to stroke the old man and said coquettishly, “Hubby, look at you. Just talk nicely to the children. Look at how you had scared Third Son. I overheard you this morning. When you were in the study with Mr. Lu, you had intended for Fourth Son to get married.”

When everyone heard this, they were surprised but quickly felt at ease with the decision.

Over the years whenever anything good came up, although Fang Yichu had moved out of the Fang family, Fang De would be sure to send it to him. He said that since Fourth Son had suffered a lot, he would make up to him in terms of material items.

The other sons were not happy with his decision, but they dared not say anything. After all, they understood one thing and that is, in the Fang family, anyone could become the heir but not Fang Yichu.

Therefore, no matter what the old man gave to him, they do not have much objection to it.

Fang De’s expression changed, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided under his wife’s wheedling. He reached out with his withered hand that had lots of age spots to play with his wife’s young and fair hand. He seemed indifferent, but his gaze was sharp as he looked at Fang Yichu. “Fourth Son, what do you think?”

Fang’s expression was calm, but he knew better. On the surface, it seemed as though Fang De was looking out for him, worried that he wouldn’t be able to find a wife with his disability. In reality, it was only because he had removed his rights to the inheritance but he still wants to sacrifice his marriage as a strategic move for the Fang family.

Fang Yichu recalled the sudden kiss on the reservoir a year ago… of the beautiful eyes that he saw on the mountain road… and of the little figure drenched in the rain.

He was lost in thoughts.

Seeing that he did not react, Fang Xuyan said meaningfully. “Fourth Brother, you should be afraid of delaying her too, right?” He did not know what bargaining chip the old man had used to get the Lu family to use the marriage of their only daughter who was 19 years old as a bargaining chip of equal value. He also could not imagine how much benefits the old man would stand to gain from it. He did not think that the old man was really thinking for his sons…

The Lu family’s status in Sea City’s business circle in the past two years has been steadily increasing and that was obvious to everyone. Therefore, it meant that the Lu family’s only daughter would bring huge benefits with her. Other than that, if she could help the family gain more benefits and win the old man’s favor, who would reject such a good deal?

Fang Shenggang smiled again. “Dad, I’m indeed divorced. But I’ll only treat marriage more seriously in the future. Besides, young ladies nowadays like mature men. I think I’m the most suitable candidate.”

Fang Jianan immediately smiled. “Second Brother, you said it yourself. The girls like mature men, but there has to be a limit? Should you stand with Miss Lu, those who don’t know better might think that you two were father and daughter!”

Jiao Yuebai’s face stiffened slightly at these words, but she quickly composed herself.

As if he did not notice, Fang Shenggang continued to retort. “If you think I can’t do it, well I’m still better than you, right? You’re not married, but you’re on the news every day. You’re a model today and a small-time actor tomorrow. Would the Lu family be willing to hand their daughter over to you?”

“Enough!” Fang De snapped as he did not want to hear them argue any longer. He turned back to Fang Yichu. “What do you think?”

After thinking about it earlier, Fang Yichu understood why the old man wanted him to marry Lu Youyou. He was a cripple. Even if he had a powerful wife, he would still not be able to threaten the old man’s position as the head of the family. But if it were anyone else, it would be different.

Just like how Fang Xuyan’s wife was from an ordinary family. Fang Shenggang’s marriage was a business marriage. However, after Fang De obtained benefits, he used all means to get Fang Shenggang to divorce his wife. Whereas for Fang Jianan, he was a playboy, and that was cultivated on purpose by Fang De as well.

Fang De valued power. The older he got, the more suspicious he became as well. If a man could be on his guard around his own children, what right did he have to have their love and respect? At least not from Fang Yichu.

Everyone waited for Fang Yichu’s answer. Fang Xuyan said calmly. “One should know his limits.”

What he meant was that Fang Yichu should not overestimate himself and dream of obtaining something that did not belong to him.

This time, Fang Jianan did not bicker with his second brother. His eyes were filled with mockery.

At this moment, Fang Yichu opened his fountain pen and wrote a word. He tore off the paper quickly and waved at Gu Cheng, an indication to him that they were leaving.

Fang Yichu did not look at anyone during the entire process.

The moment Fang Yichu turned around, everyone saw the word he wrote. “Yes.” That meant he agreed.

Fang Jianan said in exasperation. “What right does he have?”
