Chapter 1238 - 1238 1239 Why Bother

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1239: Why Bother Chapter 1238: Chapter 1239: Why Bother Chiang Xiao was indeed very beautiful, but she had always shown him nothing but disdain.

He didn’t like beautiful women with thorns and their own minds; so many tender women were waiting for his affection and initiative, why should he exert so much effort for a Chiang Xiao?

At first, he was indeed somewhat interested, and also interested in the medicine Chiang Xiao had, but after such a long time, this interest had long faded.

If Chiang Xiao really had such good medicine, would Meng Chaojun still be on sick leave and stripped of his powers?

Even Meng Xinian’s own father didn’t get much benefit, perhaps the medicine she had wasn’t so exaggerated after all. Last time it might just have been a coincidence that he was about to wake up anyway.

Moreover, he really detested Chiang Xiao’s background.

Haven’t you heard? The Meng family is quite disdained in the Capital City circle now.

“Chiang Xiao…” Father Fong actually felt it was a pity. The more he looked into her, the more he felt this girl was not simple and always felt that if he could really bring her into the family, there would surely be some amazing gains. But with the incident involving Chiang Baohe, he had some second thoughts.

Having an uncle who was a convicted felon about to be used for target practice was truly an indelible stain on her.

“What a pity indeed,” he sighed, shaking his head.

Fong Jianye leaned in and whispered in a low voice, “What’s there to pity? No matter how capable she is, she’s just a painter and that’s all. In the future, I can find one at the art school. But dad, I’ve recently set my sights on a new target.”

Father Fong gave him a look.

Undaunted, Fong Jianye continued with a grin, “If I can get my hands on this one, you’ll agree. How about Du Jinruo?”

“Du Jinruo?” Father Fong’s eyes flickered slightly.

“That’s right, isn’t there internal news that her father is getting promoted?” Fong Jianye gestured upwards.

Father Fong nodded, “Your information is quite accurate.”

Indeed, Father Du was about to be promoted, and the position he was moving into was quite enviable.

And with that, the Du family’s doorstep became bustling once again.

“So, a marriage alliance with the Du family isn’t bad, right? A powerful union is much better than chasing after Chiang Xiao, wouldn’t you agree?”

“I seem to have heard that Gao Wei has been pursuing Du Jinruo?”

Fong Jianye snorted derisively, “What of it? Du Jinruo has no interest in him, that kid Gao Wei doesn’t know how to charm a girl at all; some of his moves were even taught by me.”

“So you think Du Jinruo is interested in you?”

“Dad, you don’t understand, do you? Sometimes, it’s not necessary for there to be interest.” Fong Jianye’s mouth twisted with a roguish smirk. “Just give me the word, whether Du Jinruo is a suitable daughter-in-law, and leave the rest to me.”

“Fine, as long as you can handle it,” Father Fong said indifferently.

“Alright then, I’ll get started. But about that Chiang Xiao brat, shouldn’t we give her some trouble to deal with?”

He wanted to trouble Chiang Xiao, partly because she looked down on him and partly, of course, because of Meng Xinian.

No matter what his relationship with Gao Wei turned into, his dislike for Meng Xinian remained the same.

“I don’t care about these things, get out, don’t bother me.” Father Fong waved him off impatiently.

Fong Jianye chuckled several times.

Like father, like son—he knew very well his father’s silence was a tacit approval.
