"what?"
After hearing this, Fang Yifan picked at his ear and then looked at Qiao Yingzi in disbelief.
Although Rocky Restaurant isn't exactly luxurious, a meal there still costs nearly a thousand yuan.
He carefully scanned Qiao Yingzi, then touched her forehead: "Yingzi, are you running a fever?"
Qiao Yingzi slapped Fang Yifan's hand away, then rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're the one with a fever!"
Qiao Yingzi nodded, then said, "Such violence, it must be Yingzi. Did you strike it rich?"
After all, a thousand yuan is not a small amount for two high school students; they certainly wouldn't spend that much on a single meal.
Qiao Yingzi knows her own savings. The two of them cheat each other, and under normal circumstances, it's only about four or five thousand yuan. They usually buy Lego sets or exhibition tickets and lectures.
After hearing Fang Yifan's words, Qiao Yingzi couldn't help but complain to him:
"I haven't made a fortune, but you have. However, you haven't eaten the meal you promised me yet!"
Fang Yifan smiled after hearing this; she was referring to her winning the lottery.
He gave a mysterious smile and then said to Qiao Yingzi, "Don't worry, I won't run away. I'll give you a surprise this weekend!"
Qiao Yingzi listened, pouted, and said, "I hope it's a real surprise, not a shock!"
Fang Yifan smiled but didn't say anything, because he was already prepared.
Then he changed the subject and said to Qiao Yingzi, "By the way, Yingzi, why did your mom agree to not come home for dinner today?"
After all, Song Qian's desire for control was extremely high, including when it came to things like coming home for dinner.
As for his mother, Tong Wenjie, she was quite assertive; but sometimes she was also very understanding, as long as he didn't cause trouble and his grades weren't too bad.
It's also possible that they were too incompetent in the past, which lowered their expectations.
But Qiao Yingzi was different; she devoted herself entirely to her studies, and everything else took a backseat to her learning.
Qiao Yingzi's face immediately turned dejected, and then she said, "Maybe it's an act of leniency, so they've granted me a special pardon to come out for some fresh air!"
The topic seemed a bit heavy, so I quickly changed the subject.
Then, smiling, he said to Qiao Yingzi, "Yingzi, it's just the two of us going out to eat. It doesn't need to be so expensive. Something about right will do!"
A smile appeared on Qiao Yingzi's face, and a sly glint appeared in her eyes.
"Who said it was just the two of us? Didn't I say there was someone else? There's another one!"
Fang Yifan's eyes narrowed. There was another person. He turned around and looked at Qiao Yingzi seriously, asking, "Male or female?"
They even invited a third person! Fang Yifan was now itching to fly over immediately and see who it was!
Upon hearing Fang Yifan's question, a hint of joy flashed in Qiao Yingzi's eyes.
Then, pouting, she deliberately said to him, "A guy!"
Fang Yifan was furious, but he couldn't recall anyone else.
Besides, although Qiao Yingzi is very easygoing, she should be the only one who comes out to eat.
When did this happen? Someone I don't even know has appeared.
Fang Yifan turned his head and tentatively asked, "So, are you going to pay, or is he?"
Qiao Yingzi flashed a bright smile and said to Fang Yifan, "Of course it's him! Where would I get the money!"
"You know how poor I am!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yifan was furious, so he turned to Qiao Yingzi and said:
"Would it really be appropriate for you to take me there?"
Actually, I was just testing the waters and seeing how things went.
Qiao Yingzi smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Don't worry, he'd be more than happy to treat my friend to dinner!"
Looking at Qiao Yingzi speaking as if she were talking about her own money, even if she asked him to go back now, he wouldn't.
Fang Yifan turned around, and then Qiao Yingzi, with a serious expression, gave him instructions:
"Yingzi, we can't just spend other people's money like that. I'll pay the bill in a bit!"
Qiao Yingzi suddenly jumped in front of Fang Yifan and asked in surprise, "Three people can spend over two thousand? Do you have the money?"
Fang Yifan turned around, then put his arm around her shoulders and said seriously, "Yingzi, as long as it's money spent on you, what's two thousand yuan? Even if it's ten million, I wouldn't care at all!"
If you're spending money, can't you at least show off a little?
However, he wasn't lying, because he was indeed willing to spend ten million for Qiao Yingzi.
But spending three thousand yuan still hurts a bit. It seems I need to speed up my money-making process.
Qiao Yingzi blushed, staring blankly at Fang Yifan, stunned for a moment!
Then he simply slapped Fang Yifan's hand away and said, "Alright, alright, what if the teachers or classmates see this?"
"Let's hurry up and go!"
Fang Yifan smiled. Indeed, if Li Tiegun saw this, he would be in big trouble.
That would mean that I would have to clash with my mom, dad, Qiao Weidong, and Song Qian in advance.
Clearly, there's a saying that goes something like this: a parent's respect for you often begins with your financial independence.
So before that, there was a period of control over you.
Suddenly, Qiao Yingzi noticed that Fang Yifan seemed to be lost in thought, so she nudged him and said, "Alright, alright, let's go, or we won't be able to finish our meal!"
After hearing this, Fang Yifan smiled and said gently to Qiao Yingzi, "Okay!"
But his eyes were unusually sharp; he wanted to see which bastard it was.
Fortunately, Rocky Restaurant wasn't far from the school; the two of them arrived in about ten minutes.
After the two went inside, Fang Yifan's eyes suddenly noticed someone.
Ah, it was him...
Chapter 144 Uncle Dong, put down the knife [Please subscribe]
Fang Yifan was immediately drawn to a figure as soon as he entered the restaurant. It was none other than Yingzi's unreliable father, Qiao Weidong!
Fang Yifan suddenly grabbed Qiao Yingzi and looked at her in surprise, saying, "Yingzi, why didn't you say you were having dinner with your dad?"
Qiao Yingzi chuckled to herself; she had already anticipated Fang Yifan's reaction.
So she quickly composed herself, turned around, and looked at Fang Yifan with an innocent expression, saying, "Didn't I already tell you?"
Fang Yifan opened his eyes and said to Qiao Yingzi, "You clearly meant there was a man..."
He got stuck while he was talking!
Qiao Yingzi raised her eyebrows triumphantly at Fang Yifan and said, "Go on, keep talking. Isn't my dad a man?"
"Besides, aren't you going to treat my dad to dinner? You won't let me accept small favors from others!"
Fang Yifan coughed, feeling a little embarrassed. He had thought it was a love rival, but it turned out to be his father-in-law.
Now I finally understand why Song Qian agreed to let her go out to eat. It really was a chance to get some fresh air and have a meal with Qiao Weidong.
He chuckled, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it then. In front of Uncle Dong, my little bit of skill is nothing. If I offer money, it would be like showing off my limited skills before an expert."
"Besides, Uncle Qiao isn't an outsider; he's your father!"
After listening, Qiao Yingzi pondered for a moment and wondered why Fang Yifan's words sounded a bit like he was swearing.
"Are you scolding me?"
Fang Yifan coughed and then said, "The Chinese characters are profound and ambiguous, cough cough cough!"
So Fang Yifan scratched his head, and after careful consideration, he bid farewell to Qiao Yingzi.
"Na Yingzi, I'll be leaving now. You and Uncle Dong have dinner. It's not appropriate for me to stay here!"
After all, Qiao Weidong spends less than 10% of his time with his daughter, so he decided to give them some space.
Qiao Yingzi was taken aback for a moment, then said to Fang Yifan, "Why are you leaving? Didn't I say I'd treat you to dinner?"
Fang Yifan shook his head and said, "No, I didn't know you were having dinner with Uncle Dong. It's not appropriate for me. As for you treating me, next time, you can't treat me to anything less than this time!"
Fang Yifan spoke with a smile, but he wasn't actually disappointed; on the contrary, he felt relieved.
After all, at least the suspicion of a love rival has been eliminated.
After saying that, he waved his hand and prepared to leave.
But as soon as I took a step, a soft hand grabbed my wrist.
He turned his head in confusion and saw Qiao Yingzi smiling at Fang Yifan, saying, "Let's go. Since I've already said it, I'll treat you. You're not allowed to leave!"
Actually, Qiao Yingzi had thought things through before inviting Fang Yifan over. She planned to help her father gradually accept Fang Yifan's relationship with her.
Although the truth won't be revealed anytime soon, a little more goodwill will mean less resistance later on.
However, it must be said that Qiao Yingzi doesn't understand her father well enough, and all that goodwill will eventually turn into obstacles.
They're good friends with me, but they came with an ulterior motive—was it for money?
It's okay, we're brothers!
what?
You little brat, if you're planning to be with my daughter, I'll break your legs!
Fang Yifan frowned, and just as he was about to refuse, he saw Qiao Yingzi's eyes change.
Then he glared angrily at Fang Yifan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
After thinking for a while, Fang Yifan decided to go. It was just a meal, nothing serious.
He also ate with Qiao Weidong quite often.
So the two of them walked towards Qiao Weidong!
Just now, Qiao Weidong caught a glimpse of his precious daughter.
Just as he stood up, he noticed that there was another scoundrel next to him.
Moreover, the two were pulling and tugging at each other, and Qiao Weidong felt like he wanted to rush up and beat that bastard to death.
