Dai Chukong was not an ungrateful person. She answered the call and called out respectfully, “Brother Fang.” According to seniority, Dai Chukong should call Fang Yusheng Uncle.

However, since Dai Chukong called Qiao Jiusheng sister, Fang Yusheng did not want to be a generation older for no reason, so he let her call him Brother Fang.

Upon hearing Dai Chukong call him, Fang Yusheng nodded.

Dai Chukong was not very familiar with Fang Yusheng, but she knew that Fang Yusheng would not be so free as to take the initiative to call an ordinary person like her. She felt a little uneasy. Something big must have happened for Fang Yusheng to call.

Dai Chukong suppressed her uneasy heart and asked Fang Yusheng, “Brother Fang, did something happen when you called?”

Fang Yusheng went straight to the point and said, “I’m at the school gate. Come out for a while. I need to tell you about your father.”

Father…

Upon hearing this title, Dai Chukong’s heart skipped a beat.

The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger.

She had already started her internship and happened to make a trip back to school today. As soon as Fang Yusheng hung up, Dai Chukong packed up and left the dormitory. She rode the electric scooter for more than 10 minutes before arriving at the entrance.

Dai Chukong did not recognize Fang Yusheng’s number and made another call.

Fang Yusheng walked out of the car and said to Dai Chukong, “Your back is facing the school gate. I’m on the left. I’m wearing blue.”

Dai Chukong looked to the left.

Beside a black Cayenne car stood a tall and straight man. Fang Yusheng was wearing a blue woolen coat and a pair of white casual shoes. Standing there, he was even more eye-catching than the school hunk of Media University.

Someone had already noticed Fang Yusheng and was stealing glances at him.

Dai Chukong put away her phone and hurried over to Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng did not open the car door and stood there talking to Dai Chukong. Dai Chukong was worried about Qi Bufan. When she saw Fang Yusheng, she called him Brother Fang and asked anxiously, “Brother Fang, what happened to my… father?”

After so long, Dai Chukong still could not easily call Qi Bufan ‘Dad’.

Fang Yusheng sneered mysteriously.

Dai Chukong looked at Fang Yusheng speechlessly. She kept feeling that Fang Yusheng was agitated at this moment.

Fang Yusheng spoke.

“I feel sorry for Bufan.” The first thing he said made her heart sink.

Dai Chukong did not say anything. She also knew that before Fang Yusheng spoke, she could not interrupt.

Fang Yusheng said, “It’s been so many years. Even if it’s to repay a debt of gratitude, that’s enough. Dai Chukong, are you a wolf?”

Dai Chukong was stunned before saying, “No…” There was no such animal in the twelve animal zodiac.

Fang Yusheng let out a cold snort and said, “How can you be heartless?”

Dai Chukong was stunned again.

In the past, Fang Yusheng had treated her nicely because of Qi Bufan. At this moment, the Fang Yusheng in front of her made Dai Chukong feel unfamiliar and afraid.

She was in a daze and did not dare to speak, but she felt wronged.

Fang Yusheng asked again, “Just because you like him and love him, he has to accept you?”

Upon hearing this, Dai Chukong’s face turned pale and she was speechless. She was a little shocked and flustered. She was shocked that Fang Yusheng knew about this and panicked because this matter was known.

Fang Yusheng saw Dai Chukong’s reaction and felt even more disdainful. “You’re flustered, right?”

Dai Chukong did not speak, but her ten fingers were intertwined.

She was feeling uneasy.

Fang Yusheng’s tone was sharp as he said, “You know very well why you’re flustered. You’re his daughter. Although you’re only an adopted daughter, legally, you’re father and daughter. However, you’ve fallen in love with your father in the romantic sense. You know that this kind of relationship is not allowed and will be criticized. You know that once this matter is known, you’ll be looked down upon.”

Dai Chukong was speechless when she heard Fang Yusheng’s analysis.

“Brother Fang…”

Without giving Dai Chukong a chance to explain in detail, Fang Yusheng said domineeringly, “Since you know, Bufan naturally knows too. Of course, he won’t accept you. Firstly, he’s an adult. He has to take responsibility for his words and actions. Secondly…” Fang Yusheng’s gaze swept past Dai Chukong’s good-looking face.

Dai Chukong’s eyes were filled with tears, and her nose was a little red.

The girl was about to cry, but Fang Yusheng’s heart did not soften.

In this world, other than Qiao Jiusheng and his mother, no other woman’s tears could threaten Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng frowned and said, “He only treats you as his daughter. He doesn’t love you.”

Dai Chukong suddenly cried and shouted at Fang Yusheng, “Stop talking!” She was already embarrassed enough. Couldn’t he shut up?

Fang Yusheng pursed his lips and did not speak again.

Dai Chukong wiped her eyes fiercely. Perhaps she realized that Fang Yusheng was not that scary because she was filled with anger. Dai Chukong finally extended her sharp fangs and vented her anger on Fang Yusheng. She shouted, “I like him! Is that wrong? When I met him, I was already nine years old. No matter what our relationship is legally, he will never be my father in my heart!”

“I love him!”

“I love him!” Dai Chukong cried until her snot and tears fell together. This was a little ugly. However, she did not care anymore. She cried and asked Fang Yusheng, “Is it wrong for me to love him?”

Fang Yusheng fell silent.

“Isn’t it said that there’s nothing wrong with loving someone?” Dai Chukong’s voice was very soft, and her tone was very pale.

“It’s not wrong to love someone.” Fang Yusheng’s tone was affirmative. Dai Chukong’s eyes lit up. Before she could think carefully about what he meant, she heard Fang Yusheng say, “It’s not wrong not to love someone.”

Dai Chukong was stunned.

“Dai Chukong, Bufan doesn’t love you. He’s not in the wrong.”

Fang Yusheng’s words were like a sharp sickle that completely cut through Dai Chukong’s fantasy.

She suddenly squatted down on the spot and hugged her head with both hands, crying uncontrollably. In the end, she was just a girl who had taken the wrong path and loved the wrong person.

Fang Yusheng lowered his eyes and looked at the small figure squatting in front of him. He said, “But he raised you. Even if he doesn’t love you, you shouldn’t have abandoned him and cut ties with him to punish him.”

Dai Chukong sobbed even harder. “I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to…” She sniffled hard. Fang Yusheng heard Dai Chukong say, “But I didn’t dare to see him. I was afraid that if I saw him, I wouldn’t be able to give up.”

Fang Yusheng was silent for a long time.

Dai Chukong’s tears were about to dry up, and her sleeves were all wet.

Fang Yusheng looked down at his wristwatch. It was time to go home for dinner…

He glanced at Dai Chukong before saying, “He was shot and is now hospitalized in the Cardiology Department of Deep Sea Hospital.”

Dai Chukong slowly raised her head and looked at Fang Yusheng in disbelief without blinking.

“How… How is he?”

Fang Yusheng said, “The surgery is complete. It’s been four days.” Fang Yusheng met Dai Chukong’s nervous gaze and his tone became less cold. He said, “He hasn’t woken up.”
