Ning Qiangwei frowned and said, "There is an age difference between you and Su Li. She can actually change her perspective. If Su Li really chooses to pursue a career in politics, you can lay a good foundation for him."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Not everyone can see as far as you can."
Ning Qiangwei nodded. She was born in the Ning family. Even though she had not experienced it personally, she had seen and heard many internal and external struggles. She could still understand the complexity of the situation. The family's resources were limited. If all were given to one person, the remaining person would definitely have fewer resources. If it weren't for Fang Zhicheng, Su Li would be the only heir, and a lot of resources would be concentrated on him. However, it was different now. Everyone paid attention to Fang Zhicheng first. As for Su Li, they all felt that he was still young and could wait to train him.
Around eleven o'clock, Su Qing arrived home, and the whole family came out to meet her. Now Su Qing is the unquestionable core figure of the Su family. After Su Qing saw Ning Qiangwei, he handed her a bag and said with a smile: "A gift for you."
Ning Qiangwei behaved well and obediently in front of her elders and said, "Thank you, auntie."
Su Lin laughed beside him and said, "What do you mean by aunt? You should call her mom."
Su Qing glared at Su Lin and said, "Don't bully Qiangwei."
Su Lin was most afraid of her elder sister. She scratched her head awkwardly and said, "Sister, how could I bully Qiangwei? Why don't you ask her?"
Lu Wen beside her said with a smile: "Sister, don't wrongly accuse my uncle. He really cares about Zhicheng and Qiangwei. The flight was very late last night, and I originally planned to ask the driver to pick them up, but my uncle insisted on going to pick them up in person."
Su Qing smiled and said, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Everyone felt that it was a bit strange. After all, it was rare to see Su Qing like this. Not only was she known for her seriousness at work, she also rarely smiled at home. But it was obvious that her personality had changed.
The lunch was quite rich, with some famous dishes from Shanzhou, such as four big bowls, Guanzhong stew, roast chicken, etc. Ning Qiangwei ate a lot without restraint. Although Lu Wen still made a few sarcastic remarks from time to time at the table, she did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Su Qing.
After lunch, Fang Zhicheng and Ning Qiangwei were called into the room by Su Qing. Su Qing looked at her son and future daughter-in-law with a smile in her eyes, her heart full of joy.
Su Qing reached out and held Ning Qiangwei's hand, and said softly: "Qiangwei, I know you must have some thoughts about this marriage. But as Zhicheng's mother, I promise you that no matter what the premise of your marriage is, from this moment on, I will treat you like my own daughter."
Ning Qiangwei felt the warmth from Su Qing's palm, and for some reason, she even felt a sourness in her nose. Feelings are contagious, and Ning Qiangwei could feel the sincerity of Su Qing's words.
Ning Qiangwei nodded and said, "Aunt Su, we will be fine."
Su Qing showed a relieved smile and said, "I called your father yesterday, and we finally agreed that you will get married in the ninth month of the lunar calendar this year."
Ning Qiangwei's cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "Do everything according to the elders' wishes."
Su Qing nodded, and was satisfied with Ning Qiangwei from the bottom of his heart.
Chapter 0786: Love Remains Strong Despite Spending Less Time
Ning Qiangwei knew that the mother and son had not seen each other for such a long time, and they must have some private things to say. If she were there, there were some things they would definitely not say. Su Yuan happened to come over to say hello to Su Qing and showed up, so Ning Qiangwei cleverly found an excuse to go out for a walk with Su Yuan.
Su Qing saw everything and said, "Zhicheng, I've seen Qiangwei, she's really good. Although she was born in a big family, she's not spoiled at all and is very considerate. What do you think?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Mom, you have a very sharp eye. You can't be wrong about the daughter-in-law you choose."
Su Qing shook her head and sighed, "Actually, I was very worried at first, because political marriages are often unhappy, especially now that society is different from the past. There are many things to be exposed to, and I was afraid you would resist."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I resisted at first, but after thinking it through carefully, I accepted it. After all, we are all members of society. Society gives you responsibilities, and you must accept and bear them."
Su Qing sighed and said, "You make me feel at ease. You are very mature in considering things. However, there are some things I still want to talk to you about. It may make you feel a little uncomfortable, but as your mother, I feel that I must understand your thoughts."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, knowing full well that Su Qing was about to ask him about his chaotic life.
As expected, Su Qing said, "I wanted to get to know you before, so I arranged for someone to collect some information about you. What are you going to do with those women?"
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a long time, considering whether to cover up or tell the truth, and finally smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know what to do!"
Su Qing shook her head helplessly and said, "Before you got married, you could do whatever you wanted, but after you get married, you have to cultivate yourself and cultivate your character. You can't do whatever you want. I won't let you down."
When Su Qing said these words, her tone was very gentle, with a hint of reproach and a hint of concern.
Fang Zhicheng paused and sighed, "If you want me to break off relations with them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do so."
Su Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "You misunderstood. I'm not asking you to completely break off relations with them, but at least you can't get involved in this debt of love again. Otherwise, something bad will happen sooner or later."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, knowing that Su Qing cared about him. She spoke tactfully to protect Fang Zhicheng's dignity.
Fang Zhicheng said distressedly: "It's really hard to explain feelings. Sometimes, even though you know it's a forbidden area, you still try to break in. As a result, not only do you fall for it, but you also cause bad luck to the other person."
Su Qing reached out and patted the back of Fang Zhicheng's hand, saying, "I know that it's hard for you men to resist temptation. Especially since you are still young and have wild horses in your heart, but I believe you will grow up and handle your own emotional problems. In addition, I want to ask about Shen Wei's matter."
Fang Zhicheng was a little surprised and looked at Su Qing with his mouth wide open, because only a few people knew that Shen Wei was pregnant with his child.
Su Qing continued, "There are no absolute secrets in this world. I won't hide it from you. I asked your second uncle to arrange for people to investigate all the women around you. During the investigation of Qin Yuming, we found that she stayed in Switzerland for two months last year. After further investigation, we found that Qin Yuming went to take care of her best friend Shen Wei. Later, we continued to investigate and found that the child Shen Wei was pregnant with, your daughter, is my granddaughter."
Fang Zhicheng was speechless and said, "I was a little naive. I thought I could hide it from everyone."
Fang Zhicheng did not feel strange about Su Mo arranging people to investigate his private life. Su Mo and the others also wanted to protect themselves better.
Su Qing said: "Zhicheng, this world is more dangerous than you think. As long as you are willing to understand, you can get any information. That is your own flesh and blood, what are you going to do? The Ning family will not care about your previous lifestyle outside, but if they find out that you have an illegitimate daughter outside, this matter will probably not be a small matter."
Fang Zhicheng sighed: "Shen Wei said that the child will have her surname and she will raise him!"
Su Qing looked at Fang Zhicheng carefully and said, "I don't doubt your judgment. The reason you trust her is because you have a good emotional foundation. Shen Wei can go abroad to give birth to a daughter for you, which is something many women can't do. However, after the child is born, there will be no father, no complete family, which is very cruel. I can't bear it."
Fang Zhicheng whispered, "Shen Wei once said that she planned to wait until Shen Xuan was older and bring her back to China as an adopted daughter."
Su Qing shook her head and said, "That won't do! Since I know she is your flesh and blood, I can't let her wander around outside."
