Che Qin held the tea in her hands, hesitating and feeling a little embarrassed.

“What happened?” Lin Gantang asked with concern when she realized that her eyes were swollen from crying.

Che Qin bit her lip.

At this moment, Wen Yanqing said, “You guys take your time chatting. I’m going upstairs to rest for a while.”

Lin Gantang looked at Che Qin, whose eyes had already turned red before she could say anything. She knew that Wen Yanqing was afraid that Che Qin would be too embarrassed to speak in his presence.

After accompanying him upstairs, she came down and sat beside Che Qin again.

There was no one around. Che Qin wasn’t afraid of being seen by others. She opened up and said, “I’m sorry, Gantang. I shouldn’t have come to disturb you, but I really have no other choice.”

After knowing her for so long, this was the first time Lin Gantang saw her so aggrieved and heartbroken.

Che Qin choked. “My dad chose a marriage partner for me and is forcing me to agree to marry him. If I didn’t say that I was coming to the Wen residence today, I would probably still be at home being watched by him. I tried to think of other ways before, but my dad stopped me.”

“Which family did your dad take a fancy to?” Lin Gantang frowned.

“The Fang family.”

“Fang Jinghe?” Lin Gantang thought for a moment.

It seemed like this was the only person of suitable age in the Fang family. Although Fang Jinghe’s looks were average, the Fang family’s conditions were very good. Che Qin had previously said that she wanted to marry a rich man, so she shouldn’t be so resistant.

Could it be that she already had someone she liked?

“It’s Fang Yanyue.” Che Qin shook her head, her eyes red.

“What!” Lin Gantang was shocked.

Fang Yanyue? Fang Jinghe’s dad.

“He’s almost fifty. My dad coaxed me that there are many families with older husbands and young wives.” Che Qin choked. “But he has been married twice. He has three sons and two daughters. His previous wife passed away less than three months ago, and now he plans to get married again. This kind of person with such a family, so what if he is rich? I don’t dare to marry him.”

“What is your dad thinking?” Lin Gantang was stumped.

Fang Yanyue’s second wife had passed away, but his first wife was fine. It was said that she would visit her children once in awhile. When his second wife was still alive, the two women quarreled from time to time.

Everyone knew about his family’s matter. Otherwise, how could Lin Gantang know so much?

Che Qin was her father’s biological daughter, right? The women and children in the Fang family were fighting, and the chaos was comparable to an 8 o’clock drama. Mr. Che was actually willing to let Che Qin get involved?

Che Qin said, “My family’s business ran into some problems, so my dad didn’t want to wait for me to take my time to find a rich husband. Coincidentally, the Fang family was interested, so he lied to me and said that he was having dinner with a friend. In fact, he wanted Fang Yanyue to have a look. I went along without knowing it.

“Fang Yanyue was satisfied. My dad saw that I was very resistant when I found out the truth, so he asked me to stay at home and think about it.” Che Qin wiped her tears. “In the beginning, I used my job to hide from home for a few days. Later, my dad was afraid that I would run away and went to the gallery to get me to resign. He said that after I got married, I didn’t have to work hard in the Fang family.”

The more Lin Gantang listened, the angrier she got. “Does your dad think that this is a feudal society, forcing you to get married? If you’re unwilling, then you should protect your rights.”

“I know, but he raised me for more than 20 years. I can’t really sue him.” Che Qin’s tears could not stop flowing. “I don’t have many friends. I was wondering if you could help me think of a way. If there’s no way…”

Che Qin kept sobbing. “If there’s no other way, please help me and let me run away. I’ll leave C City and won’t come back..”
