Chapter 174: Chapter 160: Framing with Malicious Intent

Fang Anning knew only a few good places to eat and thought of a restaurant He Tingchen had taken her to before. The taste was decent, and she thought it should satisfy He Min, so she mentioned the name of that place.

He Min smiled and said, "I know this restaurant, I went there once with Zhao Yuanyuan, it was quite good."

"You seem to have a good relationship with Mrs. Qi," Fang Anning said.

He Min nodded, "We knew each other before we got married, and have been best friends for decades, naturally, we are close."

"What about Qi Wenli then?" Fang Anning asked.

He Min coughed awkwardly and said, "Previously, it was Zhao Yuanyuan who begged me, and I reluctantly agreed to help her. Now that you and Tingchen have settled down, why should I help her anymore? And I really don’t have a good impression of that flirtatious woman."

Fang Anning smiled.

"Originally, I wanted to become in-laws with Zhao Yuanyuan, the best way was to match her daughter Qi Yaya with Fengfeng. But unexpectedly, these two kids were surprisingly unanimous in their attitude, firmly saying no. It really infuriated me, but there was nothing I could do. It seems like Fengfeng is quite interested in your little sister; did you know about this?"

"I knew a little, but our Xiaoxiao has already lost interest in Young Mr. Liao, you can rest assured about this," Fang Anning said with a smile.

He Min indeed breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile.

Fang Anning couldn’t help but raise her eyebrow slightly, it appeared He Min was with her to probe about Liao Hanfeng and Li Xiaoxiao.

Well, since Xiaoxiao has already let go of Liao Hanfeng, she might as well put her mind at ease.

Soon, the car dropped them at the entrance of the restaurant, and the two got out to eat.

Fang Anning let He Min order the dishes, and after ordering a few dishes, they chatted about their children while eating.

After finishing the meal, He Min and Fang Anning came out of the restaurant, ready to take their respective cars home.

Fang Anning’s car was following behind, so there was no need for He Min to give her a ride.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the entrance, a person rushed over wanting to hit Fang Anning.

He Min stepped back in fright, her face turning pale.

But Fang Anning, quick with her reflexes, grabbed the swinging arm and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

The person who came to hit her was none other than Zhou Zhaoguo, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.

Fang Anning almost didn’t recognize him.

Now, Zhou Zhaoguo had become incredibly thin, his beard unkempt, and his clothes dirty and disorderly.

There was nothing left of his once proud and spirited appearance, he looked more like a beggar under a bridge.

"How did you end up like this?" Fang Anning frowned.

She knew that because Zhou Muyan had stolen family assets, it almost led Zhou Zhaoguo to bankruptcy.

But for such a big company, a dead camel is bigger than a horse, the Zhou family’s downfall shouldn’t have resulted in Zhou Zhaoguo’s current state.

"You still have the nerve to ask, it’s all your fault," Zhou Zhaoguo was flung away by Fang Anning, and he cursed loudly, "It’s all because of you, this heartless and unfilial daughter. If you hadn’t refused to help me, if you hadn’t refused to give He Tingchen to Muyan, how would I have ended up like this? Today, I will kill you, I gave birth to you, I have the right to take your life."

Fang Anning was furious, trembling with anger.

She didn’t know anything, and Zhou Zhaoguo was placing the blame on her recklessly.

He had the nerve to say he gave birth to her?

He did give birth to her, but he never raised her, it would have been better if he hadn’t.

Now he was using this to threaten her, did he think she was easy to bully?

"Bring people here, teach him a lesson. Forget it, catch him and I’ll handle it myself," Fang Anning said coldly.

The bodyguards came over and quickly restrained Zhou Zhaoguo.

Fang Anning raised her hand and slapped Zhou Zhaoguo twice, then kicked him twice, saying, "You consider yourself my father, but I never considered you as my dad. The situation you’re in today is the result of your own doing, what does it have to do with me? For the first twenty-two years of my life, we had no contact. The only contact we had was you paying for my life, and I followed through, we were clear after that. Now you come here trying to use your status as a father to press me, let me tell you, it doesn’t work with me, I’m not the kind of person who is filial and respectful, I don’t know who made you come trouble me. But if you dare to come looking for trouble again, next time it won’t be just a few slaps, be careful I might send you to prison."

Fang Anning threatened coldly.

Indeed, seeing how frightened Zhou Zhaoguo got.

However, at this moment, several journalists suddenly appeared, shooting pictures and videos.

By the time Fang Anning noticed and sent the bodyguards after them, they had already scattered.

And Zhou Zhaoguo also took the chaos as a chance to run away, his whereabouts unknown.

Fang Anning frowned deeply, it was definitely a planned setup, otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.

She turned to look at He Min.

He Min had somehow already gone back to the restaurant and was waiting inside.

Once the situation here ended, He Min came out and said, "After all, I am the lady boss of Huayu Group, if someone took a picture of me with you, seeing you publicly beating your father, Huayu’s shares might drop. But don’t worry, I’ll have Liao keep an eye on those journalists and try to suppress the news, to minimize your exposure online."

"Did you know about today’s incident beforehand?" Fang Anning asked.

He Min immediately raised her hands and said, "I swear, this has nothing to do with me. Otherwise, do you think I would be so foolish to have planned these things while having dinner with you? If Tingchen finds out, he definitely won’t forgive me, even the old man wouldn’t tolerate it."

Fang Anning frowned slightly, but she actually believed what He Min said.

"Who else knew that I was coming here to have dinner with you?" Fang Anning asked further.

He Min replied, "Who else would know? It’s just you and me, after all, you were the one who made the reservation."

True, the place was booked by her last minute, He Min wasn’t foolish enough to secretly inform the other party.

That would be like clearly revealing she has hidden intentions.

"Then, who else did you tell about going to see the wedding dress designer? Oh right, how did you actually meet this Linda designer?" Fang Anning continued to probe.

"It was Zhao Yuanyuan who introduced me to her; Linda has known the Qi family since way back when, she..."

He Min stopped speaking abruptly, staring at Fang Anning in surprise.

After a while, she continued, "You mean, Zhao Yuanyuan had someone follow us here, saw us come to this restaurant, then sent your father to cause trouble, and even got people to take photos?"

"It may not necessarily be Zhao Yuanyuan, but it definitely has something to do with her," Fang Anning said.

He Min said angrily, "That’s going too far, I’m going to look for her."

"I’ll come with you," Fang Anning said.

He Min gave a nod and led Fang Anning to find Zhao Yuanyuan.
