1196 I Want to Make You Stay 74 (1/2)
Yan Ge wrote a post on his Weibo page, which read: ”Regarding the hundred-million-dollar ring, Erlan and I were just joking about it, but my mother overheard our conversation and caused a misunderstanding. She got the wrong idea about Erlan and thought that Erlan had really asked me to buy her a ring that costs a hundred million dollars. However, that's far from the truth. To all media personnel, thank you for your concern, but this concerns my personal life and I hope that you'll allow me the privacy to handle it accordingly on my own.”
There was nothing wrong with his post.
However, that was all he explained.
In other words, he had agreed with Mrs. Yan's statement by failing to deny it.
That included everything Mrs. Yan had said about Fang Erlan being extremely unfilial and putting on airs despite not being a big shot.
He had merely clarified the matter regarding the diamond ring.
Fang Erlan opened the comments section of his latest Weibo post.
It turned out to be exactly like what she had expected.
It seemed as if the netizens had become justice warriors who were analyzing and discussing the matter.
”It might be a joke, but I'm guessing Fang Erlan must have been the one who brought it up. She's just being scheming and indirectly asking Yan Ge for a diamond ring. He would definitely have to get her an expensive one, even if it doesn't cost a hundred million dollars. Tsk, tsk, I've known it all along that this woman is a real piece of work.”
”Seems like everything that Mommy Yan said is real. Otherwise, why did Yan Ge only clarify the matter about the diamond ring? There must be something more to this.”
”Mothers always want the best for their sons. I believe everything that Mommy Yan had said. One look and you can tell that Fang Erlan is not a decent woman. She just tried to seduce Yan Ge using her looks and youth.”
”Yan Ge, it's time you wake up and stop being fooled by this wretch, Fang Erlan! Even a random female fan of yours is going to be better than her!”
…
Fang Erlan responded to the incident by posting a short message on her own Weibo page — ”The wise man knows he knows nothing.”
Xiao Yue held her mobile phone in front of Fang Erlan and said, ”Sis, sis, sis, sis… hurry and take a look at this. It's reported here that the reporters have decided to visit your family in order to verify if you're a filial daughter or not. Your parents are currently accepting an interview.”
”What?” Fang Erlan immediately called Mrs. Fang.
The call only went through after three attempts. Fang Yunxi was the one who picked up. ”Sis.”
”Are the reporters at home now for an interview?”
”Yes, Father and Mother are receiving an interview now. I'm in my own room. I understand what you're worried about, Sis. Don't worry, Father and Mother are enthusiastically singing praises about you,” Fang Yunxi said gleefully.
Fang Erlan was dumbfounded. I'd count my blessings if they didn't criticize me, yet they're actually praising me too?
Did they decide to stand on my side on account of me being their biological daughter?
”Enthusiastically singing praises about me?”
”Of course, you're our family's blessing! You deserve the most credit. Sis, Brother-in-law is so affluent. This house is awesome. It's worth millions,” Fang Yunxi said agitatedly, unable to contain his excitement.
Brother-in-law?
House?
”What house?”
Fang Yunxi answered, ”Sis, you're still unaware about it? Brother-in-law is really great at keeping secrets. Brother-in-law sent all of us to Dongtian Estate in the city half an hour before the reporters arrived. Everything inside the house was well decorated and furnished. He told us to tell the reporters that you had bought the house for us. He even gave Father a small saloon car and had a few drinks with him. He's so affluent. Sis, Brother-in-law really dotes on you. You have no idea how elated Father and Mother are now.”
Fang Erlan knew that the brother-in-law whom her brother was referring to was definitely Yan Ge. After all, the whole world knew that she was dating Yan Ge right now.
Turns out Yan Ge is really meticulous. He shouldn't have gone to that expense. It must have cost him at least a few million…
A frown creased Fang Erlan's forehead. If Auntie finds out about this, she's going to hit the roof…
Wait…
Fang Erlan asked, ”He had a few drinks with Father? When?”
”Right before the reporters arrived. They did so a short while before he left.”
”Yunxi, whose name is the house registered under?”
”Yours. Brother-in-law said that the house is registered under your name,” Fang Yunxi answered.
”Mine?” asked Fang Erlan, who was puzzled. My personal identification documents would be required for the purchase and administrative procedures of buying a house, be it new or secondhand. Isn't that so?
”Of course. Brother-in-law wanted us to move in here. He said that this would be our home from now on.”
