Chapter 87 - Picking Up A Young Husband (1)
When Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng arrived at the Yun Mansion, they were just in time to see Aunty Liu with a man in his late forties, whom Su Xiaofei was familiar with. This man was called Fang Yi, and he was the VP of Public Relations and Procurement at Bluemedia, the company that her mother owned.
While her mother was a businesswoman, Yun Qingrong was aware that she didn't have the right skills to manage and deal with issues related to their artists. This is where Fang Yi came in, he was the one who oversaw and dealt with such problems, sharing and lessening the burden on Yun Qingrong's part.
In her past life, Uncle Fang was really good towards her mother. As to what kind of relationship they had, Su Xiaofei wasn't sure, but she was certain that Uncle Fang respected her mother.
Uncle Fang was a widower as his wife had died from an incurable illness twenty years ago and didn't have any children with her. He never remarried and had dedicated his whole life to work, treating their talents as his own children instead. This was why many of their talents would rather prefer his company than dealing with Su Xiaofei's adopted father.
When Yun Qingrong died, this same man was one of those people who shed tears at her funeral, so naturally, Su Xiaofei perceived him as a good person, unlike Su Haoran.
"Hi, Uncle Fang. I haven't seen you in a while. I hope everything's well. What brings you here?" Su Xiaofei asked politely, while Lu Qingfeng only gave the older man a curt nod.
"Ah, Feifei, Xiao Feng." Uncle Fang's face lit up when he spotted the two of them.
"I dropped by to bring the documents your mother needed. I just heard what happened to you. Are you feeling better now? Sorry if Uncle couldn't visit you sooner, but know that you were in my mind and my prayers."
He had this calmness and wisdom that Su Xiaofei had never seen in her own adoptive father.
"I also bought your favorite cake. You better share it with Xiao Feng and the others, okay?"
"Uncle is too kind. Thank you for your concern, but I'm feeling better now." Su Xiaofei smiled. "I didn't know Mama came home."
She then gestured for the old man to head inside, with Lu Qingfeng tagging along behind them.
The man sighed and patted Su Xiaofei's arm gently.
"I noticed that she was troubled these days, but she wasn't telling me what's going on, so I couldn't help her. If I didn't hear from others that she forced Director Su to resign, and that she was divorcing him, I wouldn't be aware of what's happening.."
Su Xiaofei knew what her Uncle Fang meant. Because they were in the entertainment industry, it was normal for other people to ask him for clarification and statements about the divorce of her parents.
"They had a nasty fight, Uncle. I heard that Papa already resigned, but he refused to sign the divorce papers Mama's lawyer sent to him. He's already living with his other family, I just wish he would stop hurting my Mama and give her back her freedom."
"Sorry, Feifei. If only I could do something to help you." Uncle Fang was clearly distressed to hear the kind of predicament Yun Qingrong and Su Xiaofei were in at the moment.
"No, Uncle." Su Xiaofei shook her head and patted the older man's hand. "I should be the one to thank you. By being here, assisting Mama at work, she wouldn't have to worry too much about the company."
Uncle Fang laughed at that and glanced at the handsome young man who was seated next to Su Xiaofei. It seemed that Yun Qingrong wasn't the only one who had someone to lean on. Su Xiaofei also had someone who would willingly stay with her through thick and thin.
"I told your mother to take a break from work, but she refused. She said that she would rather work from home than leave everything to me at the company."
"She's still sad and hurt from Papa's betrayal. It's understandable that she wanted her mind to be preoccupied with work rather than grieve over the end of her marriage with Papa." Su Xiaofei replied with a weak smile, but her eyes were cold as she thought about how shameless Su Haoran was for trying to trap her mother in marriage.
Maybe she should ask the Yun family's assistance to force that shameless man to sign the divorce papers. Su Xiaofei thought.
"Just stay with your mother, Feifei. I think your presence alone would be enough to lessen the hurt she's feeling right now. If anything happens, don't forget to give me a call, okay? I would surely come and help you to the best of my abilities." Uncle Fang promised her.
"Thank you, Uncle. I won't keep you any longer. I know how busy you are at the company. Although Mama is going to work from home for now, please don't overwork. Mama and I wouldn't be happy if you had to suffer because of our family issues."
"What are you saying, Feifei? You and your mother aren't strangers to me. Of course, I would be worried about the two of you. Anyway, you are right." Uncle Fang stood up and checked the time on his watch. "I have a meeting scheduled in an hour, so I need to leave now. Call me if there's anything, okay?"
"Yes, Uncle. Be careful on your way to Guangshang." Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng saw him out and waved as his car drove away from the estate.
"Mama is so lucky to have such a dependable friend like Uncle Fang, don't you think, Xiao Feng?"
When he didn't respond, she turned to face him and smiled.
"Of course, I'm also lucky to have Xiao Feng in my life.." She said as she dragged him back inside their home.
