Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "I really can't judge whether this value is right or wrong."
Fang Zhicheng sat in the living room with Qin's father drinking tea and chatting, while Qin Yuming helped Qin's mother with housework at home. In the eyes of others, Qin Yuming might be a high-ranking female president, a famous aerobics coach in Yinzhou, and a strong woman who represents the fashion trend of Yinzhou. But in the eyes of the Qin family, Qin Yuming is an ordinary woman.
After Qin's father had a brief chat with Fang Zhicheng, he was quite impressed with the young man, because from Fang Zhicheng's words and deeds, he could tell that he was a young man with high quality, who had experienced a lot and had many ideas.
Father Qin saw that there was no one around, so he sighed and said, "Xiao Fang, I have something in my heart that I want to tell you."
Fang Zhicheng immediately sat up straight, nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Father Qin smiled faintly and said, "It can be seen that you and Yuming have a deep relationship, but I still have a question in my mind. Do you mind her past?"
Fang Zhicheng quickly shook his head and said, "Uncle, the past is an objective existence. It is not realistic or possible to erase the memory. But I can understand her past, respect her current decision, and am willing to accompany her through the years to come."
Father Qin showed a look of relief on his face, and sighed: "Yuming is actually a very strong-willed child. She and Cheng Bin often quarreled at the beginning, but her mother and I didn't know about it at all, because she always hid the pain in her heart. We even found out about her divorce a long time later."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, please rest assured. I will cherish Sister Ming and will not let her suffer any grievances."
Father Qin smiled and said, "You are younger than her. Although Yu Ming is good-looking, she will get older. I am still a little worried... However, we still respect our child's life and feelings. No matter what she does, as long as it is her own wish, we will never interfere!"
Fang Zhicheng sighed sincerely: "Uncle, you are so reasonable."
Father Qin nodded and smiled, "I agree to your relationship with Yuming, but it may not be easy for you to get past her mother. After all, Yuming has been hurt once, and her mother will definitely be more cautious when choosing a son-in-law next time."
Fang Zhicheng said solemnly and confidently: "I will use my actions to make my aunt accept me!"
In the kitchen, Qin Yuming was washing dishes while Qin's mother was scrubbing the stove.
Mother Qin sighed quietly. Qin Yuming knew her mother's character very well and knew what she wanted to ask. She smiled and said, "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't keep it in your heart."
Mother Qin took a deep look and whispered, "What is the relationship between you and Xiao Fang like?"
Qin Yuming was slightly startled and sighed: "I treat him as my younger brother..."
"Brother?" Mother Qin's face showed doubt. "Yuming, there is something I know I shouldn't say again. When you chose Cheng Bin, your father and I were strongly opposed. Cheng Bin is good-looking, but he is too romantic. As we guessed, Cheng Bin finally changed his heart and hurt you. This Xiao Fang has good character, personality, and the way he treats people and things, but he is too young and an orphan. If you stay with him in the future, you will suffer."
Qin Yuming looked a little unhappy and said, "Mom, Zhicheng is a good man. Although he is young, he is much more considerate than Cheng Bin. Besides, I don't plan to marry him."
"What? Not getting married!" Qin's mother widened her eyes and said in surprise.
Qin Yuming nodded and said, "Mom, you know that I already have my own career. Once a woman gets married, it is impossible for her to develop her career. So since I choose to divorce and start over, I will not step into the grave of marriage again."
Mother Qin was angry and anxious. She pointed at Qin Yuming and said repeatedly, "Yuming, you, you, you... do you want to piss me off to death? I don't know how many neighbors are gossiping about you now. If you don't get married, I'm afraid there will be even more people pointing fingers at you."
Qin Yuming curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Why should people live in other people's world? Anyway, we are divorced, so let them say whatever they want. As long as our lives are happier than before, what do those rumors matter?"
Qin's mother knew that her daughter's character was soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and once she made her decision, it would be difficult for others to change her.
Mother Qin had tears in her eyes and choked up, "Yuming, I'm not doing this for my own face, but for you. It's true that you have your own career now, but a woman must get married and have children in her life, otherwise there will be no guarantee. You should listen to your mother, break up with Xiao Fang, and then find an ordinary man to live with."
Qin Yuming's nose was also a little sour. She felt sorry for the parents in the world. Mother Qin really cared about her. She forced a smile and whispered, "Mom, you and Dad have taught me since I was a child that as long as I have a clear direction, I must do it unswervingly no matter how others interfere. Mom, I know what I am doing better than anyone else, so please support me!"
"Alas..." Qin's mother finally sighed and said nothing more.
Qin's father and mother have a relatively open-minded approach to educating their children. They will give their opinions, but most of the time, they let their children choose their own lifestyle democratically.
Since Qin Yuming had made up her mind, Qin's mother could only turn a blind eye.
Although Qin's mother did not completely accept Fang Zhicheng, she still let Fang Zhicheng sleep in Qin Yuming's room at night. Qin Lang seemed to know that his family was getting ready to go to bed, so he turned off the music.
Mother Qin tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She nudged Father Qin with her elbow and whispered, "Old man, is it inappropriate to let Yu Ming and Xiao Fang lie in the same bed like this?"
Father Qin was a little tired. He sighed and said, "What era is it now? They are a couple. What's the problem with them sleeping in the same bed? I think you should stop worrying about it and go to sleep quickly."
The more Mother Qin thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She reached out and shook Father Qin, whispering, "Old man, I have a bad feeling. Today I asked Yu Ming in the kitchen what her relationship with Xiao Fang was and whether she was planning to get married. You know what she said, she thinks her career is more important... You said, she doesn't plan to get married, but she's getting along with Xiao Fang, isn't that messing around?"
Father Qin turned over and sighed, "Yuming has only been divorced for more than a year. It's normal for her to be afraid of marriage. Don't think too much about it."
Mother Qin kicked Father Qin, thinking that he was heartless, and said worriedly: "Principal Xu's sister, don't you know about her? She has a big career, but she has never married. A woman in her fifties often changes boyfriends every two or three days. I am afraid that Yu Ming will be heartbroken by a marriage and become a woman like that. That is not good!"
Seeing that Mother Qin was mumbling, Father Qin couldn't help it anymore. He suddenly sat up and said angrily, "You are getting more and more ridiculous! You mean that Yu Ming will support Xiao Bai and the other two like she did? Do you think Xiao Fang looks like a gigolo? He is a civil servant and has good manners."
Mother Qin knew that Father Qin was irritated, so she pursed her lips, got into the quilt, and said angrily: "You don't understand, go to sleep!"
The Qin family's soundproofing was poor. Qin Yuming's boudoir was separated from Qin's father and mother's room by a wall, and they could vaguely hear their mumbling conversations.
Seeing Qin Yuming patting her face and applying cream, Fang Zhicheng asked with a smile, "I wonder what my aunt's attitude towards me is?"
Qin Yuming turned around, glanced at Fang Zhicheng with a smile, and said, "What would you think if my mother was dissatisfied with you?"
Fang Zhicheng showed a distressed look on his face. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly showed an enlightened look and said, "If she is not satisfied with me, I can only change my strategy, analyze the specific problem specifically, and prescribe targeted medicine. I will definitely be able to solve it properly."
Qin Yuming picked out Fang Zhicheng's grammatical error and said jokingly, "Okay, so you want to drug my mother, so you're saying that my mother is sick..."
Fang Zhicheng quickly denied it, "Don't say that. I just used a vivid metaphor."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng panic, Qin Yuming smiled for a while and said, "I know your weakness. If you dare to make me angry in the future, I will let my mother deal with you."
Fang Zhicheng spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Don't be so cunning, I'm not afraid of your mother, I respect her..."
