Fang Hao raises his voice, sounding somewhat timid. With her look turning sullen, Fang’s mother says no word.
“Fang Hao, please do not say any more. I understand how auntie feels now. I am here today just for inquiring about the cooperation between Ding’s company and the Fang’s, instead of causing your quarrel with auntie.” Ding Manman waves her hand and stands up slowly.
Judging from the current situation, she is sure that Fang’s mother is unable to listen to her now. On saying this, Ding Manman is afraid of triggering more disputes, it’s better to resolve the company’s affairs first, and then explain to his mother slowly.
“What’s wrong with the cooperation? Didn’t it go well?” Fang Hao looks at a loss. He is not clear of what happened, because he hasn’t intervened in the business affairs of the group since he moved out. Hearing what Ding mentioned, Fang’s mother’s face looks worse.
“After being taken back home by my parents today, I heard that our company has recently reached the brink of bankruptcy due to the financial crisis. Previously, Fang’s Group and Ding’s company have been in smooth cooperation. However, the cooperation, continued as a win-win program for both sides, was suddenly disrupted a short time ago.”
Ding’s words make Fang’s eyebrows frown instantly. Since the engagement, the two companies started cooperating. Although Ding’s company is small, they have been cooperating pleasantly. Fang Hao can easily suspect the reason for the interruption of cooperation.
Fang Hao looks towards her mother who turns her head around in guilt, which confirms his suspicion. He feels indignant at his parents’ arbitrary decision, but he holds his temper in the presence of Ding Manman.
“So I want to ask auntie and uncle for help. Could you help our company to overcome this crisis in terms of the long-term cooperation between us?” On the way here, Ding Manman originally wanted to question Fang Hao why he withdrew their cooperation.
When she asked this question just now, Fang’s confusion didn’t seem false, which proves that it was not his decision to withdraw the cooperation. Ding Manman feels relieved. As a result, Ding changed her original plan and intended to elicit their sympathy.
“Mom, why did you withdraw the cooperation with Manman’s company? You see, this may lead to the bankruptcy of Ding’s company. And now what are we to do?” Fang Hao frowns, complaining. He never expected that so many things have happened during this time. With the breakup of their cooperation, they intended to break his relationship with Manman!
“There are not so many reasons. You have also heard the financial crisis recently, which also made our group hard to sustain. Without your father’s efforts, we would not have the firm left. We had no extra time and efforts to support others, especially for strangers.” Saying so, Fang’s mother rolls her eyes. What she meant is to completely treat Ding Manman as a stranger, which makes Ding helpless.
“Manman is not a stranger. She is my girlfriend and was engaged to me. I have the responsibility to help her as well as her family.” Fang Hao says resolutely. His words sound sweet to Ding Manman, but they really irritate his mother.
“Dead-head, you’re really dead-headed. Think about it…why she showed up just when her company was about to go bankrupt, and after the escape, she directly went to us and asked a favor shamelessly. We are not clear how many plots she is scheming. Don’t be fooled.”
Fang’s mother’s words are not unreasonable, which make Fang Hao, who has been standing on the side of Ding Manman, begin to suspect. Is it indeed a coincidence that Manman appears at this time? He cannot help suspecting Ding’s intentions.
The seeds of suspicion begin to germinate, then they get out of control. Fang Hao’s eyes that are fixed on Ding Manman look more different than before, which Ding Manman doesn’t notice.
“In addition, you mentioned that there exists an enmity between your family and Zhong’s Group. If this is true, how can you possibly escape from Zhong’s control? And you don’t look like being tortured like the person being imprisoned and abused. I don’t trust you.”
Fang’s mother looks Ding Manman up and down, and finds she’s in good health. Her ironic expression makes Ding bitter. Just now, Fang Hao was too excited to take a closer look at her. After sizing her up, he finds she’s well, which deepens his suspicion.
“Auntie, I really didn’t lie …”
“Stop speaking. No matter how you beg us, we won’t help you. No way! Fang Hao is unable to help you because his father is in charge of the company. As long as I haven’t nodded, your dream will never come true. Look at yourself to see who you are. Are you not ashamed of yourself, intending to step into the threshold of Fang’s house?”
Fang’s mother casts a glance at Ding Manman with disdain and disgust. With her words indicating her resolution, she turns away and drags Fang Hao back. Though reluctantly, he doesn’t struggle and comes back home with his mother. Ding Manman still wants to say something, but the door is closed relentlessly, blocking her out.
Looking at the closed door, a sense of weakness springs up. Ding Manman loses her strength but sits in front of the door with sorrow in her eyes. In the living room, Fang Hao feels pity on her who is seen in despair through the monitor.
“Mom, I believe Manman, she is not a sophisticated girl, we should give her a hand.” However, Fang Hao’s request receives scolding from his mother.
“How do you know that she is not a cunning woman? Maybe she is evil-hearted. You were fooled by her camouflaged purity. I told you your mother has seen so many women of this sort. If you adhere to your foolish way without awakening, I will ask your dad to dispatch you to the overseas company.”
Fang’s mother is definitely angry. Why has her brilliant son fallen in love with such a vicious woman?
This situation puts Fang in a dilemma. In the end, he has no way but to go upstairs and stays indoors.
At this time, An Ya, who stays aside to keep a low profile, moves closer to comfort Fang’s mother prudently after seeing Fang going upstairs. Fang’s mother likes An’s gentle temperament just because she didn’t say a word during the whole process.
