Chapter 76.1. Secretly Getting Married? The Drives-You-Crazy Kind (Final)
“You must have the wrong person. I’m not your son.”
Fang Anshuo felt a sense of disgust towards this sleazy, oily middle-aged man.
Barging in and claiming to be his father without a second thought. These days, even scammers aren’t putting in the effort. Instead of lying on the ground wailing, they’re coming straight to your door to claim kinship?
Qin Yanming wasn’t in a hurry at all. Although he didn’t know why those mysterious people had told him about this, they had given him money and treated him well for the past few months, with good food and drink.
After releasing him, they gave him another sum of money. They also provided him with a paternity test, naturally showing him to be Fang Anshuo’s father.
They also told him about Fang Anshuo’s birth mother, Fang Wen.
At the mention of Fang Wen’s name, Qin Yanming recalled many past events. Fang Wen, he remembered, whenever he thought of this, he felt both regretful and nostalgic.
Fang Wen was his university classmate, with a clean and pretty appearance. Though not quite a campus beauty, she could be called the class belle.
In university, there were many exceptionally beautiful women, like the incredibly popular Miao Yuqing. Back then, she caused quite a stir at their school.
But no one dared to casually approach Miao Yuqing because she had a childhood sweetheart boyfriend, Shen Zhenshan. Speaking of Shen Zhenshan, he was a prominent figure that countless girls fell for. Among them, Fang Wen hadn’t escaped Shen Zhenshan’s charm either.
Throughout university, the only girl by his side, apart from Miao Yuqing, was no one else. He refused to be alone with any other girl, and if someone invited him out and he couldn’t refuse, he would always bring Miao Yuqing along.
This straightforward attitude made even the shyest girls understand that he only liked Miao Yuqing. But there was one person who never gave up, and that person was Fang Wen.
At that time, he did like Fang Wen a bit. He was self-aware enough to know that he couldn’t aspire to a campus beauty like Miao Yuqing with her background. But a class belle like Fang Wen, if given the chance, was still within reach. Unfortunately, Fang Wen never noticed him, and although he was unwilling, he also didn’t want to be a undignified little dog following her around all day.
He never expected that at the graduation party, due to an accident, he would have such a brief romantic encounter with Fang Wen.
Recalling the scene from that night, he chuckled. Although Fang Wen slapped him after sobering up, which angered him a bit, he had still taken advantage of the situation. That little bit of resentment in his heart was finally satisfied.
He really hadn’t expected that Miao Yuqing would actually be pregnant with his child and give birth to it.
He heard that Fang Anshuo was a department manager at some company, earning at least 30,000 yuan a month.
Qin Yanming surveyed the room. This apartment must not be cheap to rent, right? At least seven or eight thousand, it seems. Looks like his offspring is indeed doing well.
“You are my son. I wouldn’t mistake that.”
Hearing Fang Anshuo’s rebuttal, Qin Yanming became unhappy. “Your mother’s name is Fang Wen, right?”
Fang Anshuo had a bad feeling, but he quickly composed himself. His mother had very clearly told him that it was Shen Zhenshan who had abandoned her, who had wronged her. This slovenly middle-aged man in front of him must be trying to scam them.
“Don’t think that just because you know my mother’s name, you can pretend to be my father.”
Qin Yanming crossed his legs, smiling smugly, “If I’m not your father, then who is?”
Fang Anshuo almost blurted out, of course it’s Shen Zhenshan.
He would never accept that his father was someone like Qin Yanming. It was completely different from what he had imagined.
Moreover, he felt that this visitor had ill intentions.
“Anyway, you can’t possibly be my father. You’d better leave my home immediately, or don’t blame me for calling security.”
“Oh ho, my offspring, you’ve got quite an attitude, huh?” Qin Yanming was very displeased. He had finally found out he had a grown son who was quite capable.
But now, the other party refused to acknowledge him.
He immediately pulled out the paternity test report from his pocket and threw it to Fang Anshuo. “Kid, look for yourself. This paternity test report clearly shows the data proving we have a father-son relationship. This is based on science, you can’t refute it even if you want to.”
Fang Anshuo hadn’t expected this twist. Were scammers so convincing now?
He took the test report and glanced at it. Everything on it did indeed show that he and Qin Yanming had a father-son relationship. But he wouldn’t believe it.
These days, all kinds of documents could be forged. For something like this, with a bit of money, wasn’t it easy to fake?
“Think it’s fake, do you?” Qin Yanming had been to university after all, and wasn’t an uneducated person. As the saying goes, a hooligan isn’t scary; what’s scary is an educated hooligan.
He stood up. “If you don’t believe it, let’s go to the hospital together and do another test. See if what I’m saying is true or not? Actually, it’s not that complicated. I, Qin Yanming, wouldn’t mistake my own offspring. Oh right, there’s an even simpler method.”
“Make a call and get Fang Wen here to confront me. She’ll definitely remember what happened that day over twenty years ago.” Qin Yanming had a nostalgic look on his face. “I really didn’t expect Fang Wen to be so sentimental about the past, actually keeping my child. If she had told me earlier, our family could have been living happily together by now.”
“My daughter-in-law is pregnant too. In a little while, I’ll be able to hold my grandchild.”
While Qin Yanming was saying all this, he was the only one happy about it.
Lu Lingling and Fang Anshuo were both getting impatient.
Even though Qin Yanming spoke so convincingly, Fang Anshuo still believed that the other party was just here to cause trouble and scam them. Because he didn’t believe that Fang Wen would deceive him.
He had observed earlier that both of Qin Yanming’s little fingers were missing.
He had heard that unless it was an accident, generally, those who had their fingers cut off were likely to be gamblers. Unable to repay debts, they had their fingers chopped off.
The bases of Qin Yanming’s little fingers were cleanly cut, clearly done by someone. So this was no accident.
The man’s slovenly appearance made it clear he was a gambler and a hooligan, no doubt about it.
Fang Anshuo didn’t say anything more and directly called security. Soon, security came up.
“Please take this troublemaker away,” Fang Anshuo said coldly. “And don’t let him in again in the future.”
The two security guards nodded and were about to grab Qin Yanming. Little did they know that Qin Yanming, being a gambler used to escaping for his life, had some agility. He instantly reacted, jumping away, and began darting around Fang Anshuo’s home.
The two security guards couldn’t very well chase around and grab someone in their employer’s home. They looked at Fang Anshuo with troubled expressions.
“You’d better leave now, or I’ll call the police.”
Qin Yanming directly sat by the window, dangling his legs outside. “If you dare come near me, I’ll jump down from here. It’s not too high, I guarantee I won’t die from the fall. But since I fell from your room, and I’m your father, you’ll have to support me for life.”
“Fang Anshuo, think it through. Do you want to acknowledge me and talk nicely, or do you want to choose to take care of a disabled father and bear the reputation of being disrespectful and unfilial?”
Lu Lingling couldn’t take it anymore: “You’re really shameless. We don’t know you at all, and we don’t know where you came from. You say you’re Anshuo’s father, what proof do you have?”
Qin Yanming pointed at the paternity test report on the ground. “Didn’t I give you evidence? That’s the best proof, but you don’t believe it. I also said we could go to the hospital for a new test, or if you don’t want to do that, just call Fang Wen here. I haven’t seen her in many years, to be honest, I do miss her a bit.”
Shameless!
This was the word that flashed through the minds of the two security guards, as well as Fang Anshuo and Lu Lingling.
In the end, Fang Anshuo still called the police. Qin Yanming didn’t seem afraid of the police being called, but he didn’t come down from the window either. He sat there, continually telling the onlookers below that Fang Anshuo was his son.
He said he had finally found his son, who had grown up to be quite capable, but now his son didn’t recognize him, despised him, and even wanted to call security. Qin Yanming, facing the public, spoke pitifully. Many people standing below were pointing and discussing Fang Anshuo’s refusal to acknowledge his father.
Fang Anshuo opened the window of another room and couldn’t help but shout to the people below, “He’s not my father! Who knows where he came from, barging into my home, and now he’s using the threat of jumping to blackmail me.”
“There’s a paternity test report, and you still won’t acknowledge that I’m your father. How did I end up with such an unfilial son?” Qin Yanming heard this and was inwardly delighted. Facing the public, he said pitifully, “Son, I told you earlier, if you don’t believe it, we can go to the hospital for a new test, or call your mother here. Wouldn’t the truth come out then? Why do you insist on calling security to throw me out? I know, you definitely don’t want to acknowledge me as your father to escape the responsibility of supporting me in my old age, right?”
Not long after, the police arrived.
They asked Qin Yanming to come down, but he wouldn’t. He even dangled his legs further out.
He said that unless Fang Anshuo acknowledged him or agreed to go to the hospital for a paternity test, or directly called Fang Wen for a confrontation, he wouldn’t come down. His eyes were very sharp, and whenever he saw someone coming to rescue him, he would make a very dangerous move, causing no one to dare to act.
With no other choice, the police had to negotiate with Fang Anshuo, asking him to compromise. No matter what, they needed to get the man down first.
Fang Anshuo didn’t want to bother his mother with this matter, so he finally agreed to go for a paternity test.
Satisfied, Qin Yanming came down. He didn’t mind being restrained by someone, still shouting that if they dared to trick him, he would jump again next time.
Shen Wan learned about everything that happened at Fang Anshuo’s home through 188. To be precise, she could directly watch the scene through 188’s broadcast just by closing her eyes. It was truly exciting.
She had always thought she was quite shameless at times, but she never imagined there would be someone even more shameless than her.
188: He used to think his host was quite shameless, but after seeing Qin Yanming, he wanted to apologize to his host. Sorry, she really wasn’t the most shameless one.
When Zhong Jiaren returned, she pushed open Shen Wan’s door. “Wan Wan, I have something good to show you.” She sat down next to Shen Wan and took out her phone. “What you’ve been waiting for has arrived.”
Shen Wan leaned over to look at the phone screen. When the video was played, they watched together from the perspective of the ground floor, seeing Qin Yanming hugging the window frame with his legs dangling outside. In the adjacent window, Fang Anshuo and Lu Lingling were standing there, talking to Qin Yanming.
Fang Anshuo looked furious and helpless. If it weren’t for the crowd and the fact that this was a society governed by law, he might have really been unable to resist kicking Qin Yanming off the building.
Even though she had seen it once before, Shen Wan watched with a face full of smiles, thoroughly enjoying it. This Qin Yanming was truly a scoundrel, enough to give Fang Anshuo a lifetime of memories. As long as Qin Yanming lived another day as Fang Anshuo’s father, the troubles would never end.
“Jiaren, how much gambling debt does Qin Yanming owe?”
“Several million, I suppose. As for the future, who knows.” Zhong Jiaren said maliciously, “They’ve already gone to the hospital for a paternity test. Fang Anshuo still doesn’t want to believe that Qin Yanming is his father.”
“Facts are facts. Once the test is done, he won’t be able to escape even if he wants to.”
Zhong Jiaren’s lips curled into a smile: “I just had someone notify Fang Wen that her daughter-in-law is pregnant.”
Shen Wan: How wicked. Her woman was truly wicked, but she just loved it.
“Jiaren, you’re so bad.”
Zhong Jiaren pinched Shen Wan’s cheek. “Wan Wan, what do you know? I’m just kindly reminding her. After all, she’s pregnant, shouldn’t the mother-in-law know? Her man has also arrived. A family should be together, living happily ever after.”
In the previous life, Fang Wen had become quite formidable.
Mr. and Mrs. Miao Yuqing had been angered to death, and a large part of the reason was due to some things Fang Wen had said.
All she needed to do was ensure that Qin Yanming lived well. As long as he was alive, he could torment Fang Anshuo and Fang Wen, this mother-son pair, for life, never able to escape.
“Jiaren.”
“What?”
“I have a video from inside the room here. Want to watch?” Shen Wan said with a smile in her eyes. “It’s even more exciting than watching from downstairs.”
Zhong Jiaren’s smile deepened as she pressed Shen Wan’s head and kissed her forehead. “Let’s watch.” She knew this Shen Wan wasn’t simple, actually having a video from inside the room. Her Wan Wan was impressive.
Although she didn’t know how the other had managed it, she didn’t want to pursue the truth.
Her Wan Wan had already been honest enough, at least willing to share these exciting moments with her. She was very satisfied.
The two leaned on the sofa, watching the video shot from inside the room, enjoying Fang Anshuo and Qin Yanming’s exciting performance.
A few days later, the paternity test results came out.
Fang Anshuo looked at the results, identical to the previous one, and couldn’t accept it at all.
How was this possible?
How could he possibly be the son of this hooligan and scoundrel?
How could they possibly have a father-son relationship?
Qin Yanming was triumphant. Without another word, he shouldered his bag and moved directly into Fang Anshuo’s home. His excuse was that he was Fang Anshuo’s father, and since he had nowhere to live, he naturally should live with his son.
Eating, drinking, living, and playing – everything had to be Fang Anshuo’s responsibility as a son.
Not only that, but he also demanded money from Fang Anshuo. Of course, Fang Anshuo wouldn’t give it to him. He couldn’t drive the hooligan away, but he didn’t want to give him money either.
He still hadn’t recovered from the shock of not being Shen Zhenshan’s son, but instead the son of this old hooligan Qin Yanming.
Lu Lingling also couldn’t accept that this old hooligan had moved into their home.
He was idle all day, lazy and gluttonous. He ate all the snacks and fruits she had bought.
He didn’t change his shoes, monopolized their sofa, lay there watching TV, and emitted a foul odor that was truly unbearable for her.
Qin Yanming had asked Fang Anshuo for money several times without success.
He then went to ask Lu Lingling, which did work. Lu Lingling was a bit afraid of him and thought that if she gave him money, he might go out to play and not cause trouble at home.
Qin Yanming took the money and went gambling.
He only returned in the evening, so at least the daytime was peaceful. Lu Lingling breathed a sigh of relief.
So, each time she gave him a few hundred or a thousand yuan to drive Qin Yanming out, she didn’t hesitate.
Later, Qin Yanming became unsatisfied and asked for more when she gave him money, completely shameless.
Lu Lingling clutched her wallet tightly. “I’ve given you so much already. How can you suddenly ask for ten thousand yuan?”
“You only give me a few hundred yuan, how can I spend that? You’re my daughter-in-law, shouldn’t you show respect to your father-in-law?”
Lu Lingling put her wallet behind her back and said, “There’s no more.” She turned to go back to her room, but unexpectedly, Qin Yanming directly snatched her wallet and ran out the door.
Lu Lingling cried in anger. When Fang Anshuo returned and heard about this, he immediately called someone to change the lock.
The door was knocked on again, but it wasn’t Qin Yanming who returned.
