Chapter 648: Chapter 648: The Fang Family Sisters_1

Fang Zhenhai coughed twice but didn’t immediately make a statement. Pan Xiuyun’s older brother, Pan Li, picked up his wine glass and said, "A marriage alliance between our two families would be mutually beneficial. I suspect you are aware that my brother-in-law is likely to be transferred to the central government in Kyoto soon. If the position of the Governor of Danyang becomes vacant and my brother-in-law highly recommends you, with a bit of lobbying on your part, you might be able to succeed him."

In Jiangdong, Fang Zhenhai is ranked in the top three most important people, but Jiangdong is far inferior to Danyang in many aspects. Even though both are governors, the Governor of Jiangdong is not as powerful as the Governor of Danyang.

Typically, those who become the Governor of Jiangdong have reached their career peak and won’t be promoted further. They just wait for their retirement age to come.

Fang Zhenhai is not too old, and he definitely wants to go higher up.

Of course, Fang Zhenhai also understands that Pan Li is sort of bluffing. The position of the Governor of Danyang is extremely important. It’s not that simple where Zheng Guohui recommends him, and he does a bit of lobbying to smoothly take over. Several individuals have their eyes on this position.

Fang Zhenhai took a sip of tea from his cup. Seeing her father’s predicament, Fang Yue on the side decided to speak up, "May I ask, what kind of marriage alliance are you talking about?"

Pan Xiuyun laughed. "Little niece, Yue, have your parents not discussed this with you?"

Fang Yue was clever; Pan Xiuyun showing up with her son and nephew had effectively revealed her intent."

Zheng Guohui’s son, Zheng RuiZhi, had long shown interest in her. But Fang Yue had never considered him.

"I may as well be the one to bring this up. I am a widow and I have been widowed twice. Are you sure your son is not afraid, and you are not wary?" Fang Yue asked.

"In our family, we don’t have any taboos. The idea of a widow bringing bad luck is ridiculous," Pan Xiuyun replied.

Actually, Pan Xiuyun was a bit wary, but she couldn’t change the fact that Zheng RuiZhi had always been infatuated with Fang Yue.

"Fang Yue, I sincerely care for you, and we don’t need to concern ourselves with idle gossip," said Zheng RuiZhi.

"RuiZhi, I’ve told you before; dating is about feelings and being in love. I only see you as a friend or a brother. We can’t be lovers, let alone husband and wife. I hope you won’t persist."

Fang Yue kindly rejected him, while Fang Qing, without any hesitation, announced, "I already have someone I like, and I absolutely will not agree to such an arranged marriage. You shouldn’t waste your efforts."

Fang Qing did not care for Pan Li’s son, Pan Xiaofeng, even though Pan Xiaofeng had some merits. At least he was more promising than his cousin, Zheng RuiZhi. He even held a position in the Danyang Dragon Soul Department, showcasing his formidable capabilities.

"Little Qing, mind your manners! When was it your turn to speak?" Fang Zhenhai reprimanded.

"Dad, did you call me back just to arrange a blind date for me? I’ve only ever liked someone once in my life and I will never change," replied Fang Qing. She was more straightforward than her sister, and not as tactful; she always spoke her mind.

On the Pan family’s side, their faces clearly exhibited their displeasure. Pan Xiuyun stated, "The Fang family looks down on us."

Fang Zhenhai hastily replied, "Sister-in-law, please don’t misunderstand. My two daughters have always been indulged, they are the ones who are not worthy of your son and nephew."

"Let’s skip the talk about who’s worthy of who! Just make your stance clear! In families like us, we don’t get to decide our marriages. It’s always been the parents’ order and the matchmaker’s words. Are you telling me you don’t even have this much authority as their father? You’ve had a long-standing friendship with our family and Old Zheng. Are you going to ruin that because of your children?"

Pan Xiuyun, leveraging the Zheng family’s powerful position, spoke with an air of arrogance.

Huo Yun quickly jumped in to mediate. If this matter is not handled properly, Fang Zhenhai’s official career may be over. They cannot afford to offend the Zheng family.

However, she understood her two daughters too well; this matter was extremely difficult to resolve.

Just then, Fang Yue’s phone rang. Seeing that it was Su Chengyu calling, she smiled, and without any regard for the other people from the Zheng family at the table, left the private room to answer the call.

"Are you back?"

"Yes! Beautiful, would you do me the honor of joining me for lunch?" Su Chengyu asked.

"You’re insincere," Fang Yue playfully responded.

"If you’re not interested, then never mind, I’ll ask someone else." Su Chengyu countered.

"Su Cheng, how dare you!" Fang Yue fumed.

Laughing, Su Chengyu replied, "Just teasing you. I’ve booked a restaurant. I’m almost at your place, I’ll send you the location shortly."

After ending the call, Fang Yue returned to the private room, saying, "Mom, Dad, my boyfriend is back. I have to go have lunch with him. I’ll leave first. Aunt Pan, Uncle Pan, enjoy your meal."

Fang Qing, who also didn’t want to stay at this gathering, stood up and said, "Sister, I haven’t met my brother-in-law yet. I heard that he’s a great hero, a big shot, and extremely handsome. I have to see him today. Let’s see whose man is better, the one you chose, or the one I have in mind."

Raising her voice deliberately, Fang Qing didn’t leave Pan Xiuyun and her son any face, and left the private room with Fang Yue.

"You cheeky girl, you’ve always been so competitive! But, I guarantee you, your future brother-in-law is definitely a thousand times better than Su Chengyu, the scum. There’s just no comparison!" Fang Yue said.

"Sister, love is in the eyes of the beholder! Even though your taste in men is usually not bad, mine is not bad either! And, Su Chengyu is not scum, your misunderstanding of him is too deep. Don’t forget, Su Chengyu saved your life. He’s your lifesaver. You should know better than to treat your lifesaver like this."

Fang Qing strongly argued.

"In any case, I just don’t like him, and I strongly dislike him. Don’t bring him up in front of me," Fang Yue huffed.

"Alright, alright! I won’t! Today I’m going to see just how charming this Su Cheng is, the man who has captivated you," said Fang Qing.

The two sisters, arm in arm, left the Sky Realm Restaurant and headed to the parking lot. At that moment, Su Chengyu drove up. As he got out of the car,

"Su Cheng! How did you know I was here?"

Upon seeing Su Cheng getting out of the car, Fang Yue was instantly overjoyed. She let go of Fang Qing and ran towards Su Chengyu, her face beaming with joy.

Hearing Fang Yue’s voice and seeing the two sisters, especially Fang Qing by Fang Yue’s side, he thought this was a bit of a tricky situation.

"Why is Fang Qing here too? Luckily I’m in disguise. She won’t recognize me as long as I don’t act awkward. If there’s any awkwardness, it’ll come from the others."

Righting his attitude quickly, Su Chengyu embraced Fang Yue, who had flung herself at him, spinning her around on the spot.

Watching Su Chengyu from a distance, Fang Qing furrowed her eyebrows. She had a feeling that this brother-in-law seemed oddly familiar.
