Chapter 9: Chapter 9

“Mommy! I’m hungry.”

Early in the morning, Fang Ling’er had already put on her clothes. Her face was tense, but there was an unconcealable excitement in her eyes.

Fang Yunshu’s mouth twitched. This girl was obviously going to find Ye Xiaofei.

Fang Yunshu said with a darkened face, “No. We’ll eat in our room today. We are not going anywhere.”

The excitement in Fang Ling’er’s eyes disappeared instantly. She went to the bed, leaned against the window, and looked out.

Fang Yunshu frowned but stayed firm with her decision. Ye Xiaofei was such a b*stard. What right did he have to be a father?

However, on this day, Fang Ling’er did not make a sound. She was as introverted as usual, which made Fang Yunshu’s heart ache.

Fang Yunshu asked Paul to meet her at a cafe at four in the afternoon. She was still not sure about this.

Before she left, she had repeatedly warned Fang Ling’er not to go out.

However, Fang Yunshu could see the excitement in her daughter’s eyes. It was obvious that she was going to sneak out.

Therefore, before she left, she locked the door from the inside so that her daughter would not go out to find Ye Xiaofei again.

Fang Yunshu met Paul at the cafe.

Paul’s attitude was completely different from before. There was no arrogance at all. Instead, he appeared very humble.

“Miss Fang, don’t worry about the cooperation. When we reach Ning City, we’ll sign the specific contract.”

“Thank you, Mr. Paul.” Fang Yunshu finally had some assurance after receiving Paul’s promise. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mr. Paul, may I ask, what made you change your attitude?”

The corner of Paul’s mouth twitched, and anger flashed across his face. Then he laughed dryly and said, “Miss Fang, you’re so capable. I think working with you will definitely be a win-win situation, so I decided to work with you?”

“Just that?” Fang Yunshu obviously did not believe him, especially with Paul’s expression. There was clearly something else going on.

Paul suddenly smiled and said, “Of course, it’s this. This is purely a change in my personal opinion. As a mother, you work so hard and don’t give up your dignity for benefits. This is something I admire very much. I really admire Miss Fang, that’s why I’m willing to work with you.”

Yesterday, he was tortured tremendously by Ye Xiaofei and was humiliated. He had held a grudge against Ye Xiaofei. Ye Xiaofei was working for Fang Yunshu and wanted to curry favor with her. However, he did not say anything, so that Fang Yunshu would not remember the benefits Ye Xiaofei had given her.

Especially when Ye Xiaofei’s identity was not confirmed yet. Besides, Old Brown only had one son, Little Brown. Even if the shares were transferred, it would definitely be given to Little Brown. He did not believe that Ye Xiaofei would become the largest shareholder of the company.

Fang Yunshu did not expect that Paul would try to sabotage Ye Xiaofei. Moreover, Paul was so honest that she had to believe him. She was touched and said, “Mr. Paul, I promise you that I will do my best to make our cooperation a success.”

Paul gave her a thumbs up and said, “I’m sure you’ll do a good job, Miss Fang.”

Fang Yunshu met Ye Xiaofei after separating from Paul.

Ye Xiaofei said with a smile, “You went to see Paul. Now you should believe that I’m helping you. Can we have a good talk now?”

“Hmph, shameless!” Fang Yunshu glared at Ye Xiaofei and walked past him.

Ye Xiaofei quickly followed her. “Hey, you’re too rude. I’m not asking you to thank me for helping you. Can’t I just talk to you?”

“You helped me?” Fang Yunshu’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Am I that gullible? Get lost!”

Watching Fang Yunshu leave, Ye Xiaofei could not help but roll his eyes. This Fang Yunshu was too unreasonable.

“Daddy, I’m hungry!” Fang Ling’er’s crisp voice sounded from the side.

Ye Xiaofei lowered his head and saw Fang Ling’er. He patted her head and said, “Let’s go eat.”

After taking a bunch of food, the two of them started to eat. Before Ye Xiaofei could ask, Fang Ling’er said, “Daddy, when are you coming to pick me and Mommy? I don’t like staying at grandma’s house.”

“Why not?” Ye Xiaofei immediately asked.

Even now, Ye Xiaofei still could not figure out why Fang Yunshu would come to his room. Even if it was a mistake and the Fang Family wanted to deal with him, they did not have to go through so much trouble to get him to Villain Island.

Who were the people on Villain Island? The worst of them were the big shots of a city, and most of them were evil people.

He was a young man who had just graduated from high school. He had no power or background. Even if the Fang Family buried him, nothing would happen.

Was he worth the Fang Family’s efforts?

All of these did not make sense. From Fang Ling’er’s mouth, he could understand the Fang Family better.

Fang Ling’er pouted. “No one in grandma’s family likes me. They all hate me and always bully Mommy.”

“Oh? Why?”

Fang Ling’er said, “Because I don’t have a Daddy. They said that Mommy shouldn’t have given birth to me. They said that I caused the Fang Family to lose a lot of money.”

Ye Xiaofei asked, “So you haven’t seen your Daddy since you were young?”

“Of course not.” Fang Ling’er pouted and said, “I want to be with Daddy.”

Fang Yunshu must have had a child with a man before marriage, and then the man ran away. Fang Yunshu gave birth to Fang Ling’er because of love, which was why the Fang Family did not like her.

Fang Yunshu was beautiful, and she was the eldest daughter of the Fang Family. Which idiot was this? He had made her pregnant and still did not want her?

Ye Xiaofei really despised that b*stard in his heart.

Fang Ling’er wiped her mouth. “Hurry up and deal with Mommy. Otherwise, she won’t let you take us away.”

“This is a little difficult.” Ye Xiaofei shook his head. “You saw your mother’s attitude towards me. She doesn’t even want to talk to me. She hates me.”

Fang Ling’er said, “The more she loves you, the more she hates you. If she doesn’t have any feelings for you, then all the more you won’t stand a chance.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Xiaofei burst out laughing and said, “You’re still so young. Do you know what it means to love and hate deeply? Your mother only hates me. Where’s the love?”

Fang Ling’er blinked her big, watery eyes and said, “But her hatred for you is also a form of emotion. At the very least, she has you in her heart. As long as you work hard, you can turn this hatred into love.”

Ye Xiaofei widened his eyes and looked at Fang Ling’er, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “How old are you, little girl? How do you know so much?”

“I’m the daughter of the sea god! Of course, I know a lot!” Fang Ling’er raised her chin proudly. “Daddy is amazing. Of course, I’m amazing too.”

Ye Xiaofei smiled and said, “Then you have to tell me more about your mother. Only then can I make her like me.”

“Humph!”

Fang Yunshu’s cold snort came from behind.

Ye Xiaofei and Fang Ling’er immediately lowered their heads and ate.
