Chapter 250 Income Without A Job
Fang Bingwen gaze briefly swept across the male figure that uttered those words.
His gaze rested on him for a mere 4 seconds before turning his attention back to the food on the table.
Picking up his chopsticks after the elders had began to eat, he served Zhang Liling two different side dishes before eating, totally ignoring his cousin.
Even if He did not reply to his cousin, there were people ready to give him an earful.
"Qiafan, who sent you to be an analyser of Bingwen\'s matters?" The second son of the Fang family asked.
Apparently, Qiafan who was the same person that suggested for Fang Bingwen yo be set on blindates until he found a woman he liked, was his son.
Unafraid of his father, he continued with a mischievous smile. "Father, I can\'t be wrong. Cousin suddenly stopped going for a blinddate after only attending two minutes with the excuse of having a girlfriend. Then for over a year, he did not bring her over until now. It wouldn\'t be surprising if brought over a fake girlfriend. He..."
"Shut up!" Old Mr. Fang said immediately shutting his grandson up with a stern expression on his face.
His brows were furrowed as the corners of his lips tugged downwards.
Qiafan who was having fun teasing Fang Bingwen flinched at the sudden outburst of his grandfather and hurriedly shut his mouth.
Well, he was not even given the chance to finish his statement as the smirk hanging loosely at the corner of his lips immediately disappeared.
How did his joke turn to something serious.
"Do you think Bingwen is like you that can spend a night in the same room as a woman who had no relations with you?" The old man asked while glaring at him.
Instantly, the dining room went silent. The younger generation even paused with their food, except for the older generation who didn\'t mind to continue with their food.
Fang Bingwen was of course an exception. He continued to put food in his mouth as if the matter didn\'t concern him in any way.
Zhang Liling who was by his side, felt her heart thump widely in her chest at the old man\'s outburst of anger.
She hadn\'t expected for him to have this side as she had only seen his calm and happy side.
Glancing at the man who continued to send food into his mouth without care, and seeing the others who didn\'t dare to continue with their food, she hurriedly put her left hand under the table.
Then without a warning, she pinched his thick thighs in a bid to signal him to stop eating.
Feeling her touch on his thighs, Mr. Fang raised a brow as if to ask \'What?\'
The old lady who was sitting in-between her husband and Zhang Liling, slowly let out a long sigh before tugging in her husband\'s sleeve.
"Angao, let it be. You are frightening Liling." She said in reminder.
Being reminded of Zhang Liling\'s presence, the old man let out a huff and glaring at Qiafan one more time, he turned his gaze back to his food to continue eating.
Zhang Liling let out a sigh of relief. But then, her gaze accidentally landed on Qiafan, and was taken aback to see him staring at her calmly.
\'What a psycho!\' She concluded in her head before turning her gaze back to her food
The rest of the breakfast was almost finished in silence with Old Lady Fang putting food in Zhang Liling\'s plate most of the time.
Toward the end of breakfast, one of Fang Bingwen\'s female cousin, Alyssa, spoke casually to Zhang Liling, asking her a few questions.
"Zhang Liling, I heard you are a graduate, where do you work now?" She asked with an attentive gaze glued to her.
This was the first time a member of the younger generation was showing an interest in her, and that too, it had something to do with a job.
This was the question that no one had asked her yet since she stepped foot into the Fang family.
At that question, everyone turned their gaze to her. Even the old lady didn\'t feel that there was anything wrong with that question and was equally interested in her response.
Feeling the gazes on her, and with Fang Bingwen not helping by pretending as if he was non-existent, Zhang Liling felt like disappearing.
Would it hurt him to intervene a bit.
Seeing how they were all patiently waiting for her response, she summoned courage to respond.
Managing a smile, she said while staring at Alyssa, "I don\'t have any official job."
Instantly, it seems that time stopped because all of them were taken aback.
Unable to contain her shock, Fang Bingwen\'s second female cousin asked, "You are a graduate without a job?"
The way she was staring wide-eyed at her, was as if it was a crime to be without a job after graduating.
Instead of getting embarrassed, Zhang Liling owned up to her work status.
"Although, I don\'t have an official job yet, I still get monthly income without depending on anyone."
Zhang Liling\'s response this time around, was also surpring. How was it possible not to have a job, but still receive income at the end of every month without relying on anyone?
But those into business and those that had more financially education, were able to understand and regarded Zhang Liling highly.
"I see that you have a few investment." Fang Huiqing said with a smile directed at Zhang Liling.
Not just him, a few others seemed to be satisfied that at her age, she had something that could bring her income without the need to sweat for it.
Mr. Fang, who was a little surprised by his girlfriend, managed to rein down on his emotions as he managed to steal a glance at her.
\'What has she been up to?\' He thought. But knowing that Zhang Liling wouldn\'t reply her until he divulged the plan he was keeping from her, he decided to let hat thought off.
It\'s not like he couldn\'t find out if he wanted to, but because he didn\'t want to intrude on her privacy, he kept calm about it.
