Chapter 188 Marriage Freedom
Fang Chengye only thought about it for two or three days before deciding to go to Mu Zhonglin.

He conveyed through his adjutant that he wanted to see Mu Zhonglin. Because he was Mu Xiliang's savior, Mu Zhonglin had always been very polite to him.

Of course, in the evening, Mu Zhonglin invited Fang Chengye to have dinner at Taibai Building. The two sat down and exchanged some pleasantries. Fang Chengye said seriously, "Mr. Warden, I'm looking for you today because I want to discuss something with you."

Mu Zhonglin said bluntly, "Mr. Fang, you don't have to be polite. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will remember your kindness for saving the dog's life forever."

Mu Zhonglin's words gave Fang Chengye a little confidence. He quickly organized his thoughts in his mind and said, "What do you think of my beautiful and quiet home?"

Mu Zhonglin said with a smile, "It's polite to say that Meijing is a woman who doesn't give way to men. This child Meijing is beautiful, intelligent, quick-witted, and well-educated. Whoever marries her in the future will be blessed."

Fang Chengye was overjoyed and said, "To tell you the truth, the governor, I came today to propose marriage for my little girl."

Mu Zhonglin was taken aback, "Marriage proposal??"

"Yes,"

Fang Chengye sighed, "Although my daughter is capable, she is not tactful, and she is too capricious. She likes the elder and younger, but refuses to say it. She only has unrequited love for one person. As a father, I see it, and it really hurts."

After a pause, Fang Chengye said sadly, "You also know that her mother was in charge of these things in the past, but now that her mother is gone, I don't know what to do. After thinking about it, I had to take the liberty of coming to the governor, but I don't know what to do. Can the warlord take a liking to my little girl?"

Speaking of this, he said as if thinking of something, "I only have one daughter, Meijing. Over the years, although I have worked hard for the family business, no matter what, I have prepared for Meijing's future. In the past, her mother and I I was also worried that Meijing would be fine if she was entrusted to someone else. Now that she likes the young master, I am relieved. If young and promising like the young master, Meijing might be the one to climb the ladder. If you have any requests, the warlord can make them casually, anyway, I am only this one daughter, and everything about me belongs to her, in other words, it is all young and old."

This is quite obvious.

Mu Zhonglin rubbed the wine glass twice casually, and said, "Mr. Fang, I think you asked the wrong person about this."

Fang Chengye was taken aback, "I also ask the governor to enlighten me."

Mu Zhonglin thought for a while and said, "You also know that my son was sent out there for more than ten years, and he just came back now. He has always received Western education, and we have never interfered with his affairs. .Although our Chinese people are following the orders of their parents and the matchmaker's words about marriage, in our family, we have always relied on our own will, and Wanyu and I have never intervened forcefully."

After a pause, he said with a smile, "You and I are both fathers. How could we not think about our children? We have worked hard all our lives, not all for them. As long as our children are happy, we will have no regrets. Xiliang and Meijing, I have taken care of each other for so long while studying abroad, and now I am still a colleague. I have feelings, but I really don’t know if this relationship is between a man and a woman, or between friends. As a father, I really don’t know. Let the young people solve this matter, as long as Xiliang likes Meijing, I'm happy to see it happen!"

While talking, Mu Zhonglin burst out laughing.

Fang Chengye froze in place.

He was a little confused whether it was rejecting him...or rejecting him! !

Coming out of Taibai Tower, Fang Chengye was in a bad mood.

Back home, Fang Meijing didn't know where she went, only Qiao Nanyi was at home.

Qiao Nanyi hurriedly got up to take his bag, helped him change his clothes, and said, "How about it, did the warlord agree?"

Fang Chengye looked at Qiao Nanyi's expectant face, and suddenly became emotional.

He sat on the sofa without saying a word, and said after a long time, "I guess, he rejected me."

On the one hand, he told Qiao Nanyi what happened today, and Qiao Nanyi was stunned after listening.

"This, what should I do??"

Fang Chengye was speechless, sat for a while, got up and went upstairs alone.

Na Cheng thought that after two or three days of this incident, there were rumors that Fang Meijing proposed marriage to Governor Mu, but was rejected.

Fang Meijing was drinking coffee with friends in the cafe at that time, and it happened that several young ladies also came to drink coffee, and they talked about it while drinking.

"Hey, have you heard that Fang Meijing actually proposed marriage to the young master?"

"Which Fang Meijing?? Oh! It's the woman next to the young master who thinks she is self-righteous and cold all day long?? God, she is really brave. How did she know that the young master likes her?"

"That's not true. Young Master likes Ms. Fu. No one in Huating City knows that. I heard that she got angry with Young Master and was fired by Young Master. Now she has the cheek to ask her father to propose marriage! My God, it's really not good." Know what to say!"

"No, every time there is a ball, she always follows the young master with a frosty face. I heard that she also excludes the people around the young master. Tell me, if a woman is so ambitious, which man would like it??"

"That's right! Hey, I have to tell others about this big joke, but we can't enjoy it ourselves."

After all, several people left excitedly. Behind their seats, Fang Meijing turned her back to them with a frosty expression on her face.

Fang Meijing rushed out of the coffee shop without saying hello to her friends.

She rushed home all the way, Qiao Nanyi had no class today and was watering the flowers in the yard.Seeing her coming back, Qiao Nanyi was about to say hello to her, but when she saw her rushing into the living room with an angry face, Qiao Nanyi was taken aback, and hurriedly followed.

"Meijing, what's the matter with you, you didn't go to see your friends, why did you come back suddenly?"

Fang Meijing said angrily, "Where is my father, where is he?"

While the two were talking, Fang Chengye came down from upstairs.Fang Meijing immediately greeted her.

"Father, let me ask you, did you go to propose marriage to the warlord?"

Fang Chengye's expression changed, and he said, "Who did you listen to?"

"Who did I hear that from?" Fang Meijing was almost trembling with anger, "Now in the entire Huating City, who doesn't know that I, Fang Meijing, had the cheek to propose marriage to the warlord and was rejected!! Dad, why did you do this??"

Fang Chengye was in a hurry, and said, "Why, did the news get out? I told the warlord alone."

"There are so many entourages around the warlord, as long as one of them slips up, such a thing won't immediately pass through the whole city?? Dad, do you know that now I have become the laughing stock of the whole city, how many people are secretly laughing at me, Dad, Why are you doing this!!"

Fang Chengye didn't expect such a result, Nuonuo said, "I, I just see you sad..."

"I want you to propose a marriage!! Seeing that I am sad, I will propose a marriage!! Such a big matter, why didn't you ask me beforehand!!"

Fang Chengye was speechless after being scolded by his daughter, Qiao Nanyi said guiltily behind her, "Meijing...don't scold uncle, this matter, this matter is my proposal."

Fang Meijing was taken aback.

She turned around in disbelief, looked at Qiao Nanyi and said, "You, what are you talking about??"

Qiao Nanyi said at a loss, "I, I just see you sad, I think while the young master is not at home, if the warlord can agree to your marriage, as long as the young master marries you, you won't be sad anymore!"

Fang Meijing remembered the harsh laughter in the cafe, and then looked back at her father and Qiao Nanyi.

"Look at me sad?? Qiao Nanyi, who gave you the right to interfere in my life?"

She took a step forward and said coldly, "I treat you as a friend and leave you at home, but you fooled my father and joined forces with my father to do these things behind my back. Qiao Nanyi, what right do you have?" ? I really regret keeping you here!"

Qiao Nanyi's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously took a step back. Fang Chengye hurriedly supported her from behind.

"Meijing, how can you say that about Nanyi? Nanyi is also for your own good!"

"For my own good? Will the result of being good for me be making me a laughing stock of others? Qiao Nanyi, you clearly know that Governor Mu will definitely refuse, but you still encourage my father to propose marriage to him, why are you at ease? ?? You knew everything about me and Muxiliang from the very beginning, you knew it clearly, they couldn't agree to it, but you still did such a thing behind my back, deliberately let me fall into Such an embarrassing situation, I really can't imagine, you are such a sinister person!"

Qiao Nanyi whimpered and covered her mouth, only to hear a "pop", she was startled, and saw Fang Meijing covering her face in a daze, Fang Chengye actually hit her.

"Mei Jing!"

Qiao Nanyi exclaimed, and Fang Chengye said sadly, "Meijing, Nanyi is all for your own good, it's fine if you don't appreciate it, and now you still slander her like this? Is this how I taught you? Mu Xiliang doesn't like you, Haven't you reflected on it? If you knew this earlier, I should stop your mother from pampering you like that, so as not to spoil you and make you self-willed, ignorant and unreasonable. "

Fang Meijing was probably taken aback by the beating, she covered her face and kept silent, Qiao Nanyi looked anxious, and secretly tugged on Fang Chengye's sleeve.

"Fang...uncle, don't do this, Meijing is too angry to do this."

"If you are angry, you can disregard other people's feelings?? Meijing, you should reflect on yourself here, Nan Yi, let's go."

After that, he forced Qiao Nanyi upstairs, leaving Fang Meijing downstairs alone.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Meijing slowly put down her hand.

Why she was beaten by her father didn't seem to matter anymore.

However, she felt something was wrong.In my impression, this is the first time since she was born that her father hit her just for... Qiao Nanyi.

Everything just now flashed through my mind like a movie.

Dad protects Qiao Nanyi, and Qiao Nanyi pulls his father's sleeves, which has never been done before.

Most importantly, Dad actually listened to Nan Yi.

When did Dad and Nan Yi... have such a close relationship?
