Chapter 76.2. Secretly Getting Married? The Drives-You-Crazy Kind (Final)
Instead, it was several very fierce-looking men, pointing at Fang Anshuo and saying they wanted him to repay Qin Yanming’s debts. Qin Yanming owed them a lot of money. As Qin Yanming’s son, he should inherit the debt. If he didn’t repay, they would come and make trouble every day.
Fang Anshuo called security to drive them out.
As a result, a couple of days later, he found that his car, parked in the company’s parking lot, always had its tires punctured.
They didn’t bother Lu Lingling, perhaps because she was pregnant, and if things got out of hand, it would cause trouble.
They occasionally created problems for Fang Anshuo. Sometimes, when Fang Anshuo was alone, walking on the road, he would be pulled into an alley and intimidated.
Fang Anshuo actually hoped they would beat him up, so he could call the police.
But they didn’t hit him, they just used words.
When he was in a hurry, they created various delays to make him miss appointments with clients.
Tire puncturing had become routine.
He planned to ride a shared bike to work, but when those people saw him, they would come over and occupy all the bikes.
When he went to wait for the bus, they would pull him away and not let him get on.
When he tried to take a taxi, they would pull him away, saying “let’s have a drink first,” causing the driver to quickly drive off.
Finally, with no other option, Fang Anshuo had to repay the several tens of thousands of yuan that Qin Yanming had racked up in just a few days.
Those people finally stopped bothering him, and Qin Yanming came back.
The lock had been changed, and Qin Yanming couldn’t open it. In the middle of the night, he would bang on the door, kick it, shout, and make such a racket that even the neighbors across the way couldn’t help but come out to curse.
With no choice, Fang Anshuo had to let him in.
Once inside, Qin Yanming rummaged through the house, eating everything edible he could find.
Fang Anshuo couldn’t sleep. He lay in bed, eyes open, his face full of helplessness.
Why couldn’t his father be Shen Zhenshan?
Even if he didn’t go back for revenge, if his father wasn’t Qin Yanming, his life wouldn’t have turned out like this.
After so many days, he still didn’t have the courage to ask his mother what all this was about.
Fang Anshuo didn’t know that the next day after he went to work, Fang Wen knocked on the door of the rented apartment.
Qin Yanming opened the door. He hadn’t gone out these past couple of days. Because he had incurred a lot of gambling debts in the previous days and had been starved by the creditors for a long time, he temporarily didn’t have the energy to gamble.
He planned to rest at home, regain his strength before gambling again, only then could he make a fortune.
The moment he opened the door, Qin Yanming smiled. Although twenty-some years had passed, he could still recognize the person standing in front of him was Fang Wen.
Fang Wen, on the other hand, turned pale with shock, unconsciously asking, “Why are you here?”
“Why can’t I be here? This is my son’s home. Isn’t it natural for a son to support his father? Wen Wen, I didn’t expect you to be such a sentimental person, actually bearing my child. Come in, I’ll cook some noodles for you. You must be tired coming from so far away.”
Fang Wen didn’t want to go in at all. She disliked Qin Yanming even more than before.
She turned to leave, but Qin Yanming directly grabbed her and pulled her in. “Where are you going? Now that you’re here, our family is finally reunited.”
When Lu Lingling and Fang Anshuo returned, they saw Fang Wen sitting silently on the sofa, and Qin Yanming happily munching on a watermelon.
Fang Anshuo and Fang Wen exchanged a glance, Fang Wen looking somewhat guilty.
Fang Anshuo couldn’t hold back anymore. He walked up to Fang Wen and asked, “Mom, why is he my father?”
“Kid, you don’t want to acknowledge me as your father again? I’m in a good mood today, so I don’t feel like scolding you.”
Fang Wen remained silent. Fang Anshuo continued, “Didn’t you say Shen Zhenshan wronged you? I always thought he…”
“Kid, stop daydreaming. Shen Zhenshan had such a good family background. Back then, which girl in our school didn’t like him? But he only cared about Miao Yuqing. Because of him, there were many resentful girls in school, and your mom was one of them. Let me tell you, Shen Zhenshan, throughout those university years, never even gave your mom a proper glance.”
“Mom…”
Fang Anshuo felt something collapse inside him. Fang Wen’s silence was an admission.
If she had been wrongly accused, she would have jumped up immediately and cursed the other person to hell.
Qin Yanming looked at the mother and son, chuckled, and continued eating watermelon while changing TV channels. Among the four people in the room, only he was happy.
“Mom, is what he said true?”
Fang Wen didn’t speak. Qin Yanming spoke for her, “Of course it’s true. If it weren’t, she would definitely jump up and slap me.”
“Then why did you lie to me?”
“Wasn’t it because she couldn’t accept it? Shen Zhenshan was so good. She just couldn’t accept that her scheme didn’t work out, and in the end, she ended up having a relationship with someone she despised the most.”
Qin Yanming wasn’t a fool. He knew all this. He pointed at himself, “That person was me, and then you came along. Understand?”
Fang Anshuo’s lips turned white, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes red. “Mom…” He could no longer speak because his very existence was a joke.
He had schemed meticulously, approaching Shen Zhenshan’s daughter, thinking he could reclaim everything that belonged to him.
In the end, someone told him the truth. He wasn’t Shen Zhenshan’s son; this old hooligan was his father.
All his efforts were because of Fang Wen’s lie. So, his life really was a joke.
Zhong Jiaren, after finishing her busy day, would return to the Shen family home and run to Shen Wan’s room. Together, they would enjoy each day’s new episode of this family drama.
Since Fang Wen and Qin Yanming had come together, Fang Anshuo hadn’t had a single peaceful day.
Qin Yanming became increasingly brazen, addicted to gambling. If they didn’t give him money, he would sell things from the house. The first things he sold were Lu Lingling’s luxury goods. Those bags weren’t real, but they could still fetch some money when sold.
Soon, Lu Lingling made a fuss. This life wasn’t what she had imagined. She demanded Fang Anshuo compensate her for the bags. The fake bag manufacturer had long been arrested, and Fang Anshuo couldn’t find a source for new ones, giving him a massive headache.
Qin Yanming accidentally overheard Lu Lingling mentioning the prices of these bags and couldn’t help saying, “Aren’t these all fakes? How could they be worth thirty or fifty thousand? They’re just a few thousand at most. When I took them to sell, each bag only sold for a few hundred or a thousand yuan. The people buying the bags said very clearly that they couldn’t possibly be real. If they were real, even second-hand goods wouldn’t be sold so cheaply.”
Qin Yanming’s inadvertent words directly angered Lu Lingling to the point of fainting.
Thinking of her days with Fang Anshuo, when she woke up in the hospital, she immediately called her family. The Lu family came and took her away.
Later, it was said that she had an abortion. The fetus was a bit large, and her body was also injured.
The rented apartment, left with only Fang Anshuo’s family, was far from peaceful.
Later, Qin Yanming caused Fang Anshuo to lose his job. Fang Anshuo planned to secretly take Fang Wen back to their hometown. They had no idea that Qin Yanming knew their every move.
When they returned to their small house in their hometown, Qin Yanming was already waiting for them at the door.
Fang Wen collapsed to the ground at that moment, crying out, “What sin have I committed?”
If she could start over, she would never be so foolish again, never lie out of resentment. Now, was there no way for her and her son to escape this old hooligan for the rest of their lives?
Qin Yanming incurred more debts, and Fang Anshuo and Fang Wen didn’t want to help him repay. However, those people always came to cause trouble, disrupting their lives.
Qin Yanming would wander outside their house every day, or go to make trouble at the places where Fang Wen and Fang Anshuo worked.
At some point, Shen Wan and Zhong Jiaren stopped watching this never-ending family drama.
In the year Shen Wan graduated, the two decided to get married.
The wedding was held in their city and was quite grand. The sight of two beautiful women in wedding dresses, holding hands and walking together, made countless people feel they were a perfect match.
The event even made the news and was reported by many independent media outlets.
……
An exhausted Fang Anshuo boarded the last bus after work. He rubbed his temples and took out his phone to check the news, just happening to see the report about Shen Wan and Zhong Jiaren’s wedding.
Seeing the two women standing happily together, he was stunned for a moment.
At the same time, he also saw that Zhong Corporation and Shen Corporation had merged to become Shen-Zhong Corporation, with Zhong Jiaren in charge.
He scrolled through some forums and saw many people discussing it.
He also found Shen Wan’s public account, where she shared her happy life with netizens every day.
Shen Wan: Adopted two kittens and a puppy.
Shen Wan: Jiaren and I wake up at 6 AM and walk the dog together for half an hour, which also serves as exercise. We have breakfast at 7, and at 7:30 I send her to the door, kiss her cheek, say “have a safe trip,” and tell her to wait for me to bring her lunch.
Oh right, our tastes haven’t changed for a long time. We like a certain private restaurant, and Jiaren doesn’t like to eat other food. After Jiaren leaves, I also need to go for beauty treatments. In the afternoon, I’ll probably go for afternoon tea and play mahjong with close friends.
After Jiaren gets off work, she’ll come to the mahjong parlor to pick me up for dinner. After dinner, we go walk the dog, then sit on the sofa cuddling, watching TV while petting the cats.
On weekends, we go shopping together, buying matching series of bags and jewelry.
Ah, I’m really too happy! I’ve actually achieved a useless person’s life.
Netizens: We want to punch this woman.
Fang Anshuo, with a weathered face and blank eyes, finished reading and muttered softly, “So there really are people willing to support useless individuals.”
“Hey, you’re just jealous of other people’s beautiful life, aren’t you? What do you mean useless? How is Mrs. Zhong useless? Besides all this, she often attends charity galas, donating money and saving countless people. They’re rich, and Ms. Zhong is willing to support her. It doesn’t affect you, so stop saying sour grapes things like this. Looking at you, your life must be unhappy, right?”
A fashionable middle-aged woman sitting nearby couldn’t help speaking up.
Fang Anshuo remained silent. Not just unhappy, his life was completely dark.
