Chapter 246 The only choice
Chapter 246 The only choice
"Dad——" Fang Minyi raised her leg and kicked the door of Fang Keqian's office open.
Regardless of whether there are other civil servants present in the office.
Sure enough, the door was opened as expected after being kicked violently. In addition to Fang Keqian, there were two other middle-aged men and a young lady in the office, a total of four people including Fang Keqian.
Fang Keqian sat in the main seat, as if listening to the work reports of the three people.
The sudden noise made the four of them reflexively turn their gaze from their work to the door. They saw Fang Minyi standing at the door of the office, gasping for breath in anger. It was easy for anyone with a discerning eye to see that Fang Minyi's emotions were fluctuating violently.
And standing behind Fang Minyi was her former sister, who looked at a loss.
Following her sight to see the situation in Fang Keqian's office, the receptionist was extremely nervous. It seemed that she would lose her job. If she couldn't stop anyone, what was the point of keeping her?
The receptionist couldn't help but sigh inwardly that she couldn't keep her pitiful job.
The good working atmosphere was disturbed by the sudden unusual noise. Fang Keqian's expression was startled at first, then calmed down. Fang Keqian withdrew his gaze from Fang Minyi at the door, turned to the three colleagues opposite him, two men and one woman, nodded, whispered a few words to them, and then nodded to the three of them, indicating that they should leave first.
The three of them nodded in response and stood up to leave. When they reached the door, they politely nodded and smiled at Fang Minyi. Before leaving, they did not forget to pull the bewildered receptionist and motioned her to leave with them.
Fang Keqian's office door was closed again, and only the father and daughter were in the room.
"Dad, what's wrong with you recently? Did something happen at home? You seem like a different person recently. My card stopped working without any reason. You are no longer my dad! Also, where did our home move to?" Since there were no outsiders around, Fang Minyi couldn't help but raise her voice and complain.
"That day in the hospital, I said everything I needed to say, Minyi. From today on, you have to take care of yourself. Your life and your actions have nothing to do with me anymore. From now on, you don't have to call me dad anymore. The father-daughter relationship between us ends here. Whether you are blessed or miserable in the future, it has nothing to do with me. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Fang Keqian sat at his desk, his fingers folded across his chest, his back pressed tightly against the backrest of his office chair, as if this would make him appear more dignified. He raised his chin slightly, forming a 45-degree angle, and stared directly at Fang Minyi, who was standing there, with a cold and sharp gaze.
"Dad, you didn't answer my question. Why did all this change suddenly happen?" Fang Minyi anxiously pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Fang Keqian, looking like she was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"There is no doubt that not all questions have answers. Moreover, even if there are answers, they may not be what you want. I will use your way of thinking to answer your questions, and the results will not change at all. I believe you understand what I said in the hospital that day. It is your choice whether to face reality or not! What you need to understand is that the father-daughter relationship between you and me has come to an end. From now on, don't appear in front of me again, let alone disturb my life. No matter what trouble you encounter, don't expect me to clean up the mess for you. I have decided that I will no longer do anything for you." Fang Keqian had no expression on his face and his tone was extremely indifferent, as if the person in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"Dad, why is this happening? There must be a reason, right? Is the company facing a threat? Who is threatening you? Grandpa is in a coma now. How about we go find Grandpa's old friends for help? Our family will face it together. No matter what difficulties they are, they will pass." Fang Minyi naively thought that the truth of life was that whenever she encountered any difficulties, she was just a phone call away. There would always be someone on call to respond to her, and the problems could be easily solved.
"I left you Mr. Xu's phone number, Minyi. Since you have called me dad for more than 20 years, I will tell you seriously again. Call Mr. Xu. He has arranged a place for you to live. Take care of your pregnancy and give birth to the baby smoothly. Then you can plan your own work and life. Mr. Xu is probably your only choice now if you don't want to live on the streets. Don't call me anymore. I am not your father. I hope you can listen to this." Fang Keqian did not respond to Fang Minyi's words. He only told her what she needed to do now.
"Him? Are you saying you sold me out?" Fang Minyi's eyes were red and the capillaries in her eyeballs seemed to be dripping blood. She asked with a sob.
"If you have a better place to go, or a better choice, you can do whatever you want. The Fang family no longer exists, so you can take care of yourself." Fang Keqian still did not respond directly to Fang Minyi's words.
"Why? Dad, I really know I was wrong! I was indeed a little willful, immature, and had no crisis thinking in the past. But now the situation at home is so difficult, I have realized the seriousness of the problem. I can start looking for a job slowly from now on and work hard step by step. Please don't abandon me, okay? Grandpa is still lying in the hospital, and you are my only relative now! Please don't abandon Minmin, okay!" Fang Minyi pleaded with her father with tears streaming down her face and a trembling voice.
Compared to Fang Minyi's tearful, heartbroken expression, Fang Keqian's face was like a pool of stagnant water, completely still. His face held neither the slightest trace of grief nor a hint of pity, but only a chilling calmness that made one's heart tremble.
Fang Minyi's tears burst out like a flood, her body trembling with extreme pain, as if she would collapse at any moment. However, none of this could stir up even a ripple on Fang Keqian's cold face.
Faced with Fang Minyi's near-collapse, Fang Keqian not only showed no sympathy, but also lacked even the most basic heartache. He just stood there quietly, like an emotionless statue, looking at the woman in front of him who was crying almost heartbreakingly, as if she had nothing to do with him.
No, perhaps "nothing to do with" was an understatement. Fang Keqian's attitude toward Fang Minyi was even colder than he'd be to a stranger. A normal person would show some sympathy and emotion when witnessing a stranger's sudden emotional breakdown. But Fang Keqian remained completely expressionless, as if his heart had long been frozen, and no emotion could penetrate the thick layer of ice.
