“What’s wrong?” Wen Yu asked with a smile—he had a good sense of who Fang Yuqiong, this “granddaughter,” was.
“Lord Wen Yu,” Fang Yuqiong first cupped her hands in salute to Wen Yu, then continued, “I would like to know if you have seen my mother?”
“Uh…” Fang Yuqiong’s question left Wen Yu momentarily stunned.
After a while, he finally realized she was talking about Lin Tianxue.
Having given birth to Fang Yuqiong and then Fang Yujie, it must be said that this woman produced “quality” offspring.
As Wen Yu thought about it, he understood the purpose behind Fang Yuqiong's question.
As the mother of ‘Fang Yujie’, regardless of whether this Fang Yujie was the real deal, Lin Tianxue undoubtedly also belonged among the ‘culprits’ of this incident. Based on Fang Yuqiong’s understanding of Wen Yu, the fact that he didn't kill Lin Tianxue on the spot was already considerate of her grandfather’s face. Hence, Fang Yuqiong would ask such a question.
However, he did not expect that throughout the entire situation, Wen Yu had never thought of Lin Tianxue as such a minor character—after all, there was nothing wrong with a woman having children.
So Wen Yu spoke honestly.
“Since I returned, I haven’t seen your mother. Just a moment, let me see.”
Saying this, Wen Yu squinted his eyes, spreading his perception. In a moment, he found Lin Tianxue’s trace.
She was still in Beijing, currently at the Fang residence.
“She’s at the Fang residence… looks like there’s no problem.”
“En…”
Fang Yuqiong quietly responded and then spoke again, “May I go home to see my mother?”
Seeing a relative yet needing to consult Wen Yu seemed unreasonable at first glance, but it was precisely this that showcased Fang Yuqiong's composure.
Fang Yuqiong was being cautious—on one hand was her longing for her family, on the other hand was her fear of becoming embroiled in Fang Yujie’s huge mess, leading Wen Yu to have any bad associations. Although Wen Yu himself did not care much for such things, his lack of concern did not mean they could afford to be indifferent.
In that moment, Wen Yu deeply felt Fang Yuqiong’s maturity, and he nodded with admiration.
“That’s naturally not a problem.”
“Thank you, my lord.”
“Wait a moment…”
Just as Fang Yuqiong was about to turn to leave, Wen Yu suddenly called her back.
“Let’s do this, I’ll go back with you, it’ll also be a chance to meet an old friend.”
Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Fang Yuqiong immediately smiled.
“Then my nephew will thank Uncle Wen Yu on behalf of my mother.”
……
Leaving the commander-in-chief’s office and getting into the special car driven by Li Quan'an, they arrived at the Fang residence’s entrance in less than half an hour.
As the former Beijing commander-in-chief—Fang Yujie’s home, it was undoubtedly luxurious. From the outside, it even appeared larger than the Tang residence by a third. Fang Yuqiong stepped forward to knock, and after a moment, a servant opened the door from the inside.
Fang Yuqiong hadn’t returned to the Fang residence easily for a long time, and considering the strained relationship between her and Fang Yujie—mainly due to the incident involving Fran—Fang Yuqiong had some reservations about Fang Yujie’s “rebellion.” Therefore, the eldest young master returning home was indeed a rare occurrence.
However, the current situation of the Fang residence was special—Lord Fang Bai had died in the Layered Battlefield, and the mainstay Fang Yujie was forcefully expelled from Beijing by Wen Yu, with it confirmed that this Fang Yujie was not the same anymore. The current Fang residence lacked a backbone, so Fang Yuqiong's return was quite timely.
The servant bowed respectfully, and Fang Yuqiong did not put on airs in her own home. After knocking open the door, she gestured to Wen Yu to enter, and Wen Yu, with an air of nonchalance, got out of the car. It wasn’t until they walked through the Fang family’s entrance that they heard Fang Yuqiong speak.
