Chapter 2407: Chapter 1523: United in Heart, Blessed for a Hundred Years

Enough is enough.

Just as Zhang Zhongquan’s expression twisted and he opened his mouth, Jiang Huazi suddenly stood up and dragged him into the kitchen.

Truth be told, in terms of physique, the well-rounded Jiang Huazi was not much lighter than the lean Zhang Zhongquan.

"Clang..."

The partition door to the kitchen was pushed shut.

"Why are you dragging me?"

Zhang Zhongquan protested, struggling.

"What do you want to say?!"

Jiang Huazi glared angrily.

What should I say?

Of course, he’s bragging!

"Sis, you don’t believe what they’re saying, do you?! They’re pulling a fast one! The boss of Hengsheng Group is surnamed Geng, and he’s already been arrested. This guy claims Hengsheng Group is his..."

Zhang Zhongquan laughed mockingly, "Didn’t you just say he’s self-made? He’s not surnamed Geng, right?"

"Of course not."

"Then why is he bragging!"

"Shut up!"

Jiang Huazi cursed.

"He doesn’t brag!"

Zhang Zhongquan was shocked, "Sis, you haven’t lost your mind, have you? What did the Fang Family bring you today as a gift? Made you lose your senses? If I said I’m Bian Zaide’s long-lost brother, would you believe it?"

Jiang Huazi took a deep breath, "Xiao Chen wouldn’t lie!"

As soon as she said it, Jiang Huazi realized she had made a mistake, but fortunately, Zhang Zhongquan hadn’t noticed, scoffing, "I don’t care if he’s Xiao Five or Xiao Six. You want to play the fool, I can’t do that!"

You’re just a big fool!

Jiang Huazi thought to herself, but she couldn’t expose the truth publicly, so she held back and said, "Regardless if what he says is true or false, apart from Fang Qing, you won’t find another person who can help you with your housing issue, right?"

Zhang Zhongquan’s expression changed, remaining silent.

"So, when asking for help, you must do it properly! That’s Fang Qing’s boyfriend, and Uncle Fang and the rest really like him. If you offend him, don’t expect Fang Qing to help. You can go fight for your rights by jumping off a building yourself!"

Seeing Jiang Huazi about to leave, Zhang Zhongquan quickly softened and grabbed her arm, "Sis, I was wrong, can I apologize? I haven’t even said anything yet, you can’t just leave me hanging, or else I’ll truly have to jump off a building."

"Then keep your mouth shut!"

Jiang Huazi shook off his hand and walked out of the kitchen.

Shit!

Zhang Zhongquan felt extremely frustrated, upset, but who could he blame?

He could only blame the damned developer, despicable, inhuman, may their entire family perish!

"Bro, eat up, don’t you like spicy food? You’ll definitely like this duck head."

While Jiang Huazi and her brother were having a heated dispute in the kitchen, in the dining room, Hong Xiaoyu was stirring the pot, enjoying the drama.

Hong Ou quietly ate, pretending nothing had happened.

Pan Hui was embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Fang Weiguo, after coming back to his senses, not only didn’t stop the chaos but rather leisurely said, "Yeah, Qing Qing can’t handle spicy food, Jiang Chen, don’t waste it."

If Zhang Zhongquan was there, he would definitely recognize the name, but he wasn’t.

Pan Hui couldn’t help but pat her husband’s shoulder.

"What nonsense are you talking?"

Fang Weiguo ignored it.

How is this nonsense?

Where’s the nonsense?

The two kids were rumored to be perfect matches, eating the duck head that the bride had tasted, how is that overstepping?

Though he’d never verbalized it, the scene evoked a bit of emotion hidden deep within Fang Weiguo’s heart.

His daughter’s thoughts began to surface.

As a father, how could he not feel for his daughter?

This kid... sigh!

"I’ll eat it."

Jiang Chen knew to adapt to circumstances, especially since Uncle Fang said so, and earlier he had also put his chicken feet into someone else’s bowl.

Understanding, he picked up that duck head, took a tentative bite, then began devouring it.

"Phew... really good, suits my taste."

As Jiang Huazi came out, she only saw her nephew devouring that half duck head until it was just bones left. She instinctively glanced at Fang Qing, then smiled nonchalantly, "Since he likes it, Qing Qing, give him a few more."

Though they’ve all grown up.

But eating each other’s food, shouldn’t be a big deal, right?

Of course.

Even if inappropriate, she couldn’t say much.

"I’ll help myself."

Jiang Chen reached for another duck head with his chopsticks, not truly bossing Qing Gege around like a girlfriend. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Seems like he hasn’t drunk too much, huh!

"Come on, let’s have a drink together."

Fang Weiguo raised his glass; it was clear he was quite pleased with Jiang Chen’s performance, relishing the rare moment as director, naturally hoping for respect and cooperation from everyone.

"Huazi, Zhongquan, he..."

Pan Hui glanced towards the kitchen.

"It’s fine, let him be alone for a while. He didn’t even recognize Xiao Chen; as his uncle, he’s really..."

Jiang Huazi shook her head, sighed, "Qing Qing, if you don’t want to help him, auntie won’t blame you."

Fang Weiguo swallowed his drink, responding in place of his daughter.

"Huazi, you know it’s not that we don’t want to help him."

Jiang Huazi nodded, glanced at her nephew, looking ashamed, saying nothing.

Coincidentally.

Having adjusted his mood, Zhang Zhongquan emerged from the kitchen at that moment, hearing Fang Weiguo’s words.

"Brother Fang, just tell me, what will it take for you to help me?"

The atmosphere quieted down.

"...You should toast him."

Fang Weiguo spoke up.

Zhang Zhongquan was stunned, staring in disbelief at the young man who boasted without writing a script.

This is the Fang Family’s prospective son-in-law, what does he have to do with him?

Moreover.

No matter how you put it.

He is considered an elder, right?

To ask him to toast a junior?

If it were Fang Qing, it would be fine.

But isn’t this... too much to bear?!

Faced with Fang Weiguo’s seemingly unreasonable and inexplicable demand, the Hong Family members said nothing.

Pan Hui and Fang Qing remained silent.

Zhang Zhongquan’s expression changed again and again.

"If you don’t want, forget it..."

"I will toast!"

Zhang Zhongquan exclaimed and immediately found a disposable cup; he knew the Hong Family well.

Selfish, snobby, but with a lack of strong self-esteem, this kind of person, for the sake of benefits, can decisively throw away so-called face.

"I’ll drink it all, you do as you wish."

Not filled, just half a cup, but still quite a sip, Zhang Zhongquan drank it all in one go, turned the cup to show it was empty, and smiled.

"Uncle wishes you and Qing Qing eternal love and happiness."

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen.

Including Fang Qing.

It’s not that just because someone toasted, you must drink. At this moment, he could totally choose to ignore it.

But though he didn’t stand up, he eventually raised his glass, taking his small half glass left from earlier, choosing to drink it all.

"Thank you."

Jiang Huazi’s guilt deepened.

Uncle Hong Ou sighed lightly.

Zhang Zhongquan didn’t know the inside story, but they understood this child had preserved the most basic dignity for this so-called relative.

"Brother Fang..."

Zhang Zhongquan turned his head, his expression revealing his stomach was likely churning.

Fang Weiguo nodded.

"Qing Qing..."

"I understand, Dad."

Zhang Zhongquan wiped his mouth, suddenly beaming with joy, surprised and overjoyed.
