Chapter 1297 Enlightened

But if it was Qiao Nan, Father Fang had total trust in her. Moreover, he heard from his daughter that Qiao Nan was happily married with three kids and her husband was a very good catch. He was just as good as Gao Yan.

Gao Yan knew that Father Fang and Mother Fang had a good impression of Qiao Nan. When Fang Fang was in high school, they even sent fruits to thank her for revising with Fang Fang.

Mother Fang was a timid woman. Now that things had gone wrong, she was worried that if they took another wrong step, they would never be able to have Gao Yan as their son-in-law. “Gao Yan, are you sure this method will work? What if Fang Fang takes it seriously after we make the phone call?”

“Auntie, don’t worry. Like what Qiao Nan said, they are just dating. It’s alright if Fang Fang takes it seriously.” Even if Fang Fang did not take it seriously, she was already in a relationship with the man. There was not much of a difference. “People like to do the opposite of what they are told. Back when you wanted Fang Fang to study at The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, she applied for Ping Cheng High School behind your back. From this, we could tell that she has rebellious nature in her.”

“If both of you insist that Fang Fang marry me, given her behavior back then, she might insist on being with the man to spite us even though she does not really love him. All of us love Fang Fang. It is alright that we suffer for the time being. What’s important is that Fang Fang will be able to lead a good life in the future.”

Gao Yan had always been performing well in front of his future in-laws. He rarely made any mistakes.

Otherwise, Fang Fang’s parents would not have decided on having him as their son-in-law.

Father Fang nodded. “Alright, don’t worry. I will do as Gao Yan said. As for Fang Fang, Qiao Nan will keep a look out for her, won’t she?” Father Fang was most worried about Fang Fang’s situation at school.

Father Fang was not worried that his daughter would take the wrong step. But her boyfriend was at the age where he would be impulsive and reckless. He would kill the man if his daughter was taken advantage of.

“Yes, Qiao Nan will look out for Fang Fang. She will make sure that Fang Fang will not be taken advantage of.” Gao Yan was very certain of this. Fang Fang might not listen to other people, but she would definitely listen to Qiao Nan. He had to hand it to Qiao Nan for being very smart.

She would not persuade her in the usual way that people did. For instance, someone felt itchy, and another person who was blunt and did not know how to react according to the situation tried helping the person find the itchy spot, but to no avail.

Qiao Nan was different. She would either not do anything, or if she did, she would be right on the target.

He believed that Qiao Nan had the means to persuade Fang Fang to protect herself. Besides, he had no other choice right now but to believe in her.

“Alright, I will make the phone call.” Since Gao Yan had said so and was willing to give it a try, Father Fang should hesitate no more. Furthermore, Qiao Nan would keep a look out for Fang Fang.

Mother Fang knitted her brows before she nodded in agreement. “Luckily, Fang Fang has a friend that she could talk to. Otherwise, there will be no way to resolve this problem.”

“That’s right. Luckily, there is someone like Qiao Nan.” Gao Yan finally understood why Fang Fang was unable to be close to her parents and share her problems and troubles with them even though she had always been a filial girl. He was the reason behind everything.

Now that they had come to a decision, Father Fang was quick and decisive. He gave his daughter a call right away and told her what Gao Yan had said to him. He told his daughter that he supported her decision and wanted her to be happy. As long as she was happy, as her parents, they would not interfere or object.

Fang Fang was dumbstruck after the call. She then gave Qiao Nan a call right away, expressing her joy and excitement. “Nan Nan, you are right. I have won. Thank you.”

Qiao Nan, who was on the other end of the phone, rolled her eyes. “Like I have said before, as long as you are happy, your parents will definitely support you.”

“You are the one who gave me your unwavering support.” Fang Fang took a deep breath. “You might not have known, but on the day that I rejected Gao Yan’s proposal, not only did my parents scold me for being reckless and express their unhappiness, all the relatives and friends who were present berated me for not having good judgment. They said that although I am willful, I should not go overboard. For a moment, I wondered whether I had made the wrong decision. But I refused to bow to them.”

Fang Fang went to the Zhai family’s residence as she wanted someone to stand on her side and support her decision.

Everyone berated her and did not agree with her. They were her relatives and they used to treat her very well. But they lost their temper at her because of Gao Yan. Although Fang Fang did not listen to them, she was upset and hurt. She did not know whether her decision was right.

When she was at a loss, she went to the Zhai family’s residence to look for Qiao Nan, hoping to get an answer from her.

Qiao Nan was smart. She could tell right away that Fang Fang refused to admit defeat and she had a lot of grievances. If she disagreed with Fang Fang and said that Gao Yan was a good man, Fang Fang would fall out with her right away.

Although she could not be too direct, Qiao Nan played with words and did not really say whether Gao Yan was a good man or not. This was what she said back then. “I believe that you should fight for your own happiness. As long as you are happy, it doesn’t matter that you could not get your parents’ support for the time being. I believe they will agree to it in the future. Your happiness is more important than anything else.”

Qiao Nan did not mention Fang Fang’s current boyfriend at all.

Although Qiao Nan played around with words, it was far better than Fang Fang’s relatives who expressed their disagreement and anger toward her. Qiao Nan’s words were comforting and assuring. Fang Fang was able to take in Qiao Nan’s words and find strength in them. “Qiao Nan, don’t worry. I will fight for my happiness.”

Fang Fang used to think that her parents had a very good impression of Gao Yan. Although there was no need for her to go through the long march of 25,000 li like the Red Army, she knew that her revolution would not succeed in one or two days.

She had yet to tell her boyfriend to work hard with her and persevere until the end, but her parents had already called her to say that as long as she was happy, they did not mind who she was with.

Right then, Fang Fang felt as if she was the most fortunate person in the world. “Nan Nan, I am so lucky to have you with me. You are such a good friend. You supported me and assured me that I am right.”

“Of course.” Qiao Nan accepted her praise. She did not feel that she was being too shameless. “Your parents dote on you the most. They will not dote on someone else. Do you agree that I am right?”

“Yes.” Fang Fang nodded. She never felt so cared for and loved in the past.
