Chapter 298 Luo Huiling's Character
Chapter 298 Luo Huiling's Character
Just as this thought flashed through Jiang Tiansheng's mind, Fang Zhanbo downstairs seemed to remember something as well. He hurriedly rushed up the stairs, shouting as he ran, "Brother-in-law, my Aunt Luo has switched rooms with my sister. My sister prefers the one by the balcony."
Fang Zhanbo spoke as he entered the room.
Seeing that Jiang Tiansheng did nothing else, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
Which one is it?
Jiang Tiansheng asked.
Fang Zhanbo then took Jiang Tiansheng over, and Jiang Tiansheng was finally able to get some rest.
But when they reached the edge of the corridor, Fang Zhanbo's expression became complicated. "Could it be that my brother-in-law has fallen for Aunt Luo?"
As Fang Zhanbo stroked his stubble-covered chin, he recalled Jiang Tiansheng's expression in Luo Huiling's room and felt something was off.
In addition, Law Wai-ling was already exceptionally beautiful.
If he and Luo Huiling hadn't grown up together and known each other so well, he might have even had the urge to marry her.
A gentle, kind, and virtuous girl like Luo Huiling is truly hard to find even with a lantern.
"Sigh, it's just that I'm not lucky enough to have such a stepmother. Otherwise, I would be incredibly fortunate to have her."
Fang Zhanbo sighed slightly, but quickly put the strange thought out of his mind.
Anyway, it won't affect their family's life.
Whether you think more or less, it doesn't really make much difference.
Jiang Tiansheng is resting here.
Suddenly, he felt a strand of hair brush against his neck. The soft touch made him want to sneeze. He instinctively opened his eyes and his body made a defensive movement.
But then, smelling the faint fragrance on the tip of her nose, the scent of jasmine, seemed to be Fang Ting's natural body fragrance.
Jiang Tiansheng grabbed the girl's waist and pulled her into his arms with a little force.
"You little rascal, you're quite mischievous."
Jiang Tiansheng smiled mischievously, but when he opened his eyes and looked closely, he realized that the person in his arms was not Fang Ting, but Fang Min.
"Brother-in-law, I'm already an adult."
Fang Min's face flushed slightly as she glared at Jiang Tiansheng, and for some reason, she suddenly blurted out this sentence.
Jiang Tiansheng didn't take it too seriously.
He already had quite a few female confidantes outside. Although he also values fate and doesn't just bring any girl into his household, he had observed those girls for a period of time before bringing them back to the villa and acknowledging their status.
Wanting to be Jiang Tiansheng's bedmate? Not so easy.
Being good-looking is far from enough; it doesn't even meet the basic requirements.
Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Little girl, which company do you plan to go to after graduation?"
I'm not called brother-in-law for nothing, you know.
Fang Min blushed even more upon hearing this and whispered, "Of course I want to join my brother-in-law's company. It's family business."
Jiang Tiansheng chatted with Fang Min for a while longer and found that the girl wasn't too nervous anymore, so he waved to her, indicating that she could go and do her own thing.
As for what just happened, it was just an awkward little incident.
Jiang Tiansheng wouldn't take it too seriously.
Even though the other person is an adult, he can't do something so beastly. It has to be consensual. Situations like twin sisters are not even within his consideration.
If it's truly fate, that's another matter.
But that was just a little girl playing a prank, and I was just reacting unconsciously without knowing what was going on.
As evening fell, the family members gradually returned home.
At the dinner table, Fang Zhanbo had just put down his rice bowl when his girlfriend, who was sitting next to him, had already gone home.
There was a slight movement on Fang Zhanbo's side.
The eyes of the people around him all turned to him, but this time they didn't look at him with disappointment as before; instead, their eyes showed a hint of relief.
It seems that Fang Zhanbo has become more and more promising.
Fang Zhanbo now serves as the deputy manager of the financial department of Xinghe Group, which makes him a successful person in society.
His sisters gradually lost their resentment towards him, and they all realized that their older brother was very talented and had inherited their father's talent.
"Now, as the head of the Fang family, I have to make an announcement."
Fang Zhanbo cleared his throat and began to speak.
Jiang Tiansheng gave him face and sat quietly to the side, listening attentively.
Seeing this, Fang Zhanbo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’ve already bought a house outside, near Repulse Bay. Although it’s not as big as your house, it’s still a small villa with a small yard.
"You can plant flowers and grass in the yard. It's located on the Queen Street side, less than a kilometer from our big villa. You can come over and visit me whenever you have time."
Fang Zhanbo said with a smile.
"Brother, why are you suddenly moving out?"
Fang Ting didn't quite understand.
She glanced at Jiang Tiansheng subconsciously.
Jiang Tiansheng shook his head, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Fang Ting was naturally willing to believe Jiang Tiansheng's words.
Her husband is wealthy and wouldn't care about such a small matter.
Moreover, the house is so big that it's nice to have more family members around, and it won't affect the young couple's time together. Besides, Jiang Tiansheng has a lot of social engagements.
Fang Ting can only come here once every week. Although she can also go to the villa on the hillside, she still prefers to stay with her family.
Jiang Tiansheng respected her idea and was willing to grant her wish.
"Of course, it's my responsibility as the older brother to shoulder the burden. I can't just keep living off my wife forever."
Fang Zhanbo explained casually, "Now that I have some savings, it's time to stand up straight and make something of myself, so that my sisters can have someone to rely on in the future."
"I can't keep drifting along like this."
Fang Zhanbo spoke with a straight face, and his reasons were indeed quite valid, so valid that even if the people around him wanted to persuade him, they wouldn't know how to start.
You can't stop your older brother from pursuing better opportunities; that would be a huge mistake.
The younger sisters looked at each other, feeling that this was a very important matter. They didn't have any good ideas for the time being, so they all turned their attention to Jiang Tiansheng.
Even Fang Zhanbo looked at Jiang Tiansheng.
Jiang Tiansheng is so wealthy that everyone trusts him and thinks he must have a more comprehensive view of things.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Tiansheng agreed with both hands, saying, "Zhanbo already has a girlfriend outside, and maybe he'll get married soon. It would be better to have your own house after starting a family."
As the older brother, it's time for him to take on more responsibility at home.
The others did not respond immediately to Jiang Tiansheng's words, but instead turned their attention to Aunt Luo.
Aunt Luo holds a very important position in their family.
Her family listens to her, so her opinion is crucial.
"Then let's move out."
"Anyway, it's close by, near my home, so we can see each other sooner or later."
Seeing that Aunt Luo nodded in agreement, Fang Zhanbo smiled happily and quickly said, "I will definitely come back often in the future. This will always be my home, Fang Zhanbo's home."
After finishing their meal, Fang Ting gave Jiang Tiansheng a wink.
Jiang Tiansheng understood and nodded slightly.
Fang Ting then got up to clear the dishes and went to work with her sisters.
Every month, Jiang Tiansheng would allocate a sum of money to Fang Ting in the family fund. Compared to giving money directly to an individual, this method better reflects the feeling of being a family and helps maintain the cohesion of the extended family.
In fact, this approach is not unique to Jiang Tiansheng.
When a family business reaches a certain scale, almost everyone will do this. Jiang Tiansheng was just doing what most people would do.
Soon, only Jiang Tiansheng, Luo Huiling, and a few others remained in the dining room.
Luo Huiling watched as the people around her left one after another.
Only Jiang Tiansheng remained.
She knew in her heart that Jiang Tiansheng was not the kind of frivolous person, and she immediately guessed the key point.
Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said softly, "This is also a token of our appreciation from the younger generation. We would feel guilty if we didn't ask them for help."
Aunt Luo, are you really willing to let these younger generations feel guilty?
Besides, this is what you deserve. You've worked so hard for the Fang family for so many years; it's only right and proper that you receive something in return…”
"I don't care about these things."
Luo Huiling shook her head.
If she were after these things, she would have left this family long ago when Fang Jinxin died unexpectedly, instead of staying until now.
A woman's prime years have long since passed, so many years have gone by.
Her character is evident to all.
Jiang Tiansheng greatly admired her, thinking that if he were in her situation, he probably wouldn't have been able to do what she did, and that's why.
That's when I started to respect her even more.
"Isn't it better to have an easier life?"
Jiang Tiansheng tried to persuade him from a different angle.
"Thank you very much for your kind offer, Mr. Jiang."
Luo Huiling did not directly answer the question, but simply ended the conversation with this sentence.
Jiang Tiansheng was somewhat helpless. By the time Fang Ting came out, Luo Huiling had already gone back to her room.
Jiang Tiansheng then told Fang Ting about his conversation with Luo Huiling.
He held Fang Ting's hand and said softly, "Your Aunt Luo has her own principles. If we force her to accept them now, it would be like taking away all those things she holds dear."
She's persisted for so many years; it wouldn't be right for us to deny her even this much respect.
Upon hearing this, Fang Ting couldn't help but burst into tears, choking out, "I know, I know everything."
"But I just feel that what our family is doing is too unfair to Aunt Luo."
"Aunt Luo has sacrificed so much for the family over the years, and we have all seen it."
Now that I finally have you, I was hoping to ease Aunt Luo's burdens, but I didn't realize I'd neglected her feelings and hadn't considered many things thoroughly.
