CHAPTER 676: CHAPTER 671: AN OUTSIDER

Luo Zhiming lowered his head and said no more, as Luo Zhiyong’s words made him realize that he had been too harsh on the child.

But Zhou Yunmei pulled Luo Zhiming behind her, faced Luo Zhiyong squarely, and said with an ironic tone, "Still calling him big brother? What kind of brother is he? When such a thing happens, he doesn’t stand by your side but stands with the Fang Family. He probably has long forgotten about having you as a brother."

After hearing this, Luo Zhiyong remained silent, just giving Zhou Yunmei a glance with an expressionless face. He had truly given up on this mother of his, not wanting to talk much or argue with her, treating her like a stranger.

He stopped Zhou Yunmei and Fang Pingying from coming to blows. After watching Luo Honglan see off the kids, he returned to his wheelchair and sat beside Fang Pingying on the couch, waiting to see what Bai Jing was up to this time.

Bai Jing’s expression was truly unsightly at the moment, wearing a smug look as if she had caught Fang Pingying on a huge weakness, about to completely defeat Fang Pingying.

Fang Pingying, seeing the smug look on Bai Jing’s face, roughly guessed what Bai Jing was going to say next. Her lips curled slightly, thinking that it’s still uncertain who will have the last laugh today.

Luo Zhiyong, not knowing exactly what was happening but guessing it had something to do with Liu Junting, figured Bai Jing’s visit was related to Fang Xiu. He wasn’t worried about other aspects; his main worry was that Fang Xiu’s foolish past might be exposed in front of Zhou Guangsheng’s parents.

He whispered to Fang Pingying, "Pingying, what should we do about Fang Xiu? Her past might all come out. I don’t know if the Zhou’s parents can accept it."

Now that things had escalated to this point, Fang Pingying knew some secrets couldn’t be kept hidden any longer, and if they must be revealed, so be it. It was Fang Xiu who made the mistakes initially.

She shook her head at Luo Zhiyong, somewhat helplessly saying, "Anyway, Fang Xiu was wrong before, and since she was wrong, she has to face the consequences. Besides, Zhou Guangsheng knows about her matters. As long as Zhou Guangsheng stands by Fang Xiu, there shouldn’t be too much trouble; after all, it’s a thing of the past."

Pausing briefly, Fang Pingying remembered the action she was about to take, she whispered to Luo Zhiyong, "But remember, I need to deal with Bai Jing first today. No matter what I say later, just follow my lead."

Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong began to doubt, "Pingying, are there things I don’t know about?"

Fang Pingying nodded and whispered in his ear, "I have checked, Haohao is indeed Luo Zhiming’s biological son. The truth will definitely come out later, so it’s not just Bai Jing who will regret this. But remember, no matter how pitiful Zhou Yunmei and Luo Zhiming appear, you must not soften your heart. Today, as they come to know the truth, I must completely sever the relationship between Luo Zhiming, Zhou Yunmei, and Haohao."

Luo Zhiyong was truly shocked by this revelation. "Ah?"

He didn’t know when Fang Pingying had confirmed the relationship between Luo Zhiming and Haohao.

"Surprised?" Fang Pingying looked at Luo Zhiyong, raising an eyebrow, "Or do you think Haohao belongs to your family, and think what I’m doing is wrong?"

Luo Zhiyong thought for a moment and then shook his head at Fang Pingying, "As long as it’s for Haohao’s good, I naturally agree."

Everyone knew that although Zhou Yunmei and Luo Zhiming longed for children, given their character and the conditions at home, they couldn’t possibly raise a child well. Haohao being with the Fang Family was obviously the best choice.

Fang Pingying, hearing Luo Zhiyong agree, felt that made sense and said, "Then that’s settled."

The two had just finished their conversation when they heard hurried footsteps near the stairs, followed by a sweaty Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng appearing at the door.

Initially, because she didn’t see the other people inside, Fang Xiu anxiously asked, "Big sister, what’s wrong, what’s the urgent..."

Before she finished, Fang Xiu walked into the room, saw the circle of people sitting around, was startled for a moment, and then asked, "Why are there so many people here?"

Especially when she saw Liu Junting sitting in the corner, Fang Xiu’s face turned pale, hesitating and stuttering as she stared at Liu Junting, "You... why are you here?"

When Liu Junting saw Fang Xiu, a lecherous surprise flashed in his eyes. Fang Xiu had grown even more beautiful, reminding him of the time they spent together, but he didn’t speak.

Instead, Bai Jing, seeing the two enter, immediately stood up, walked up to Fang Xiu, and said with a smirk, "Fang Xiu, surprised to see your old flame in front of you, huh? Don’t think the things you’ve done are truly gone and unknown."

Because Fang Xiu had mentioned the term ’old flame’ and given that Bai Jing had been calling Fang Xiu a slut earlier, the Zhou’s parents couldn’t hold back anymore. Granny Zhou stood up, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "Fang Xiu, this is..."

Facing the Zhou’s parents, Fang Xiu’s cheeks flushed red; although these were past mistakes, she didn’t know how to face them.

But Bai Jing again came forward as a commentator, "Guangsheng, mom and dad, weren’t you all wondering why I called so many people here? Now I can explain."

Zhou Guangsheng had also been startled by the big scene upon entering the room, and immediately went to ask Luo Zhiyong in a low voice. Having gotten a brief idea about the important matters from Luo Zhiyong, he understood the situation.

He walked over to Fang Xiu’s side, took her hand, and positioned her behind him. Then he coldly glared at Bai Jing, and with a voice tinged with fury, he roared, "Bai Jing, shut your mouth. We don’t need an outsider like you gossiping about our family’s affairs. I don’t care what it is, we as a family can resolve it behind closed doors. Get out of here now, or don’t blame me for being rude."

"Guangsheng, you..." She, an outsider? This comment turned Bai Jing’s face dark.

Bai Jing hadn’t expected Zhou Guangsheng to go this far in defending Fang Xiu; she felt she had underestimated Zhou Guangsheng’s feelings for Fang Xiu. She’d assumed Fang Xiu would’ve definitely kept her past hidden from Zhou Guangsheng, but clearly, Zhou Guangsheng was well aware and didn’t mind about Fang Xiu’s past.

Since she couldn’t get through to Zhou Guangsheng, she turned her focus to the Zhou’s parents, "Mom, Dad, I came here today with only good intentions, not wanting you to be deceived by Fang Xiu’s appearance. Please believe me, the things I’m about to reveal will definitely be news to you and will surely shock you."
