Chapter 65: Such Self-Respect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the car at that moment, the elderly man’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he laid eyes on Fang Yuan. “My dear, you’ve grown even more beautiful! It’s just a shame that our meetings are so infrequent.”

Sun Bingsong understood that if it weren’t for his birthday, Fang Yuan wouldn’t have found the time to visit.

“How is Granny doing?” he inquired.

Fang Yuan provided an update on her grandmother’s well-being, and Sun Bingsong’s eyes welled up with tears. “Knowing that you’re taking care of her, along with that old rascal Cheng Yongchang in Jing City, puts my heart at ease.”

Sun Bingsong had once been smitten with Liu Yuehua, who later became Madame Old Fang. Unfortunately, his modest financial circumstances had led Liu Yuehua’s family to disapprove of their relationship. Ultimately, Sun Bingsong had to stand by helplessly as the woman he loved was compelled to marry into the Fang Clan, a local aristocratic family. Determined to succeed, he had devoted himself to his career, achieving notable success in the business world. He had always resisted the idea of expanding his business abroad, preferring to maintain a foothold locally.

Years later, after establishing himself in his career, Sun Bingsong had sought out Liu Yuehua and presented her with a ring, pledging to fulfill any request she made with it. To his surprise, one summer break, Liu Yuehua had entrusted Fang Yuan with the ring, asking Sun Bingsong to teach her a skill. As a successful businessman with numerous capable friends, Sun Bingsong had never married, treating Fang Yuan as his own granddaughter. He not only imparted business knowledge but also enlisted his friends to teach her medicine, music, chess, calligraphy, and more. These friends had grown fond of Fang Yuan, eagerly passing down their skills to her, and she had exceeded all their expectations.

Fang Yuan had spent her winter and summer vacations with this group of wise elders, whose contributions had played an indispensable role in her current success.

“When will you graduate from university? You must assist me in managing my affairs,” Sun Bingsong said with a hint of aging weariness. “Since 1 have no sons or daughters, you are my sole heir from this point forward.”

“Don’t say that,” Fang Yuan replied, overwhelmed with her busy schedule. Additionally, she was unsure how to divide her time with the responsibilities Cheng Ye had entrusted her with at the company.

“You are my sole family in this world. If 1 don’t leave all my assets to you, who else could 1 entrust them to?” Sun Bingsong said with a warm smile.

Fang Yuan responded casually, “Since you miss Granny so much, why haven’t you returned to settle down? Your career is stable in other countries, and if you were in Jing City, we could stay in close contact.”

Sun Bingsong nodded knowingly. “1 worry it might affect her.” Their shared history with Liu Yuehua was a secret, known to no one but them. Even Fang Liguo remained unaware of this connection between his mother and Sun Bingsong.

“Grandpa Fang passed away early, but he treated Grandma exceptionally well. After his passing, I couldn’t be with her,” Sun Bingsong continued.

Fang Yuan remained silent.

“For me, it’s enough to care for her from a distance and keep updated on her well-being,” Sun Bingsong said, not asking for much. He took great pride in Fang Yuan’s accomplishments and believed it would be a waste of her talent if she were to become his successor.

As they conversed, the car pulled up in front of Donghu Restaurant.

Fang Yuan opened the car door and assisted Sun Bingsong out. “I always advised you not to push yourself too hard when you were younger, but you never listened. Now look at you, struggling to walk steadily in your later years.” Sun Bingsong chuckled and replied, “When 1 think about leaving you a substantial dowry after I’m gone, all those years of hard work feel worthwhile.” “But you’re clearly doing it for Granny. What does that have to do with me?” Fang Yuan supported him as they walked slowly. “You’re getting older; it’s time to take it easy.”

Sun Bingsong retorted, “That won’t do. I still have some properties I need to acquire before 1 depart from this world!”

Fang Yuan sighed.

At that moment, Fang Jiayi clung to Lu Chen’s arm in shock and exclaimed, “Brother Lu Chen, isn’t that Sister?” She had accompanied Lu Chen to a bridal shop across from Donghu Restaurant to try on wedding gowns, never expecting to see Fang Yuan walking into the restaurant, arm in arm with an elderly man.

“That man is quite elderly. Isn’t she repulsed by him?” Lu Chen furrowed his brow.

He didn’t anticipate that Fang Yuan would compromise her self-respect just to remain in Jing City. Instantly, a sense of disdain washed over him.

Fang Jiayi also couldn’t help but recollect the previous night’s events at Starry Night Restaurant. Fang Yuan had exited the VIP elevator with a young man. Could it be that she was involved with multiple men simultaneously, or was the man from last night just her brother? Regardless, seeing her in such a predicament was oddly satisfying.

Inside the car, Bo Yi observed Fang Yuan’s unwavering support for the elderly woman, his gaze fixed on her for an extended period. The same small hands that he had once held were now providing assistance to someone else.

“Master Bo, why does this old man seem familiar to me?” Mu Qing racked her brain for a moment before suddenly recalling, “I’ve got it! His name is Sun Bingsong, the head of the renowned overseas venture capital group, Aihua Group..”
