"Thank you, Uncle!" Fang Yifan said with a bright smile.
But she couldn't help but twitch her lips; it wasn't like she didn't know Qiao Weidong.
How could I possibly believe his nonsense? It's possible he'd invite me to dinner, but why would he do it when I'm alone with my daughter?
Although Fang Yifan knew all this, he wasn't so stupid as to insist on exposing such polite words.
After all, one shouldn't easily offend their father-in-law.
Qiao Weidong then turned his gaze back to Qiao Yingzi: "Yingzi, are you hungry? Here's the menu, hurry up and order what you like to eat, hehe!"
After hearing this, Qiao Yingzi pouted happily and acted coquettishly in front of her father.
"Thank you dad!"
After opening the menu, Qiao Yingzi scanned the QR code and placed an order online!
I ordered a family bucket: chicken wings, cola, popcorn chicken...
A whole range of fried foods, which my mom usually doesn't allow.
Qiao Weidong had long forgotten Song Qian's instructions; in his eyes, as long as the child was happy, that was all that mattered.
This is such a trivial matter that it doesn't need to be treated that way.
Qiao Yingzi submitted the request quickly, then put down her phone and waited for the food to be served.
Qiao Yingzi's eyes darted around. This time, she didn't intend to open the door and see anything, but chose to proceed step by step.
"Dad, now that everything's alright, could you tell me about your time traveling around there when you were young? I'd really love to hear it!"
As Qiao Yingzi spoke, her eyes sparkled with admiration.
Qiao Weidong was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Qiao Yingzi!
"You really want to hear it?"
"Mmm, mmm, mmm, I really want to hear it!" Qiao Yingzi nodded her head repeatedly.
Qiao Weidong was overjoyed to hear this, after all, his daughter admired him.
For a doting father like Qiao Weidong, hearing stories from his youth is incredibly appealing.
Qiao Weidong had already imagined the lofty image he had in Yingzi's heart.
For a moment, he looked very proud!
"Back then, Dad went through so much. He traveled all over the country with your grandfather."
"I've been to so many places and experienced so much!"
"I went to southern Hunan and southern Jiangxi back then, and then I stayed in Northeast China to grow up. After that, I came out to make my way in the world as an adult, and that's when I met your mother in Beijing!"
"And then..."
A happy smile played on Qiao Weidong's lips, as if he were reminiscing about the past.
He suddenly shook his head and said, "Alright, let's not talk about those things anymore!"
Qiao Yingzi's eyes lit up after hearing her father's words. She hadn't expected that her father's words had hit the nail on the head.
Suppressing her excitement, Qiao Yingzi asked cautiously!
"Dad, when you left Northeast China to make your way in Beijing, were my grandparents willing to let you go?"
Having said that, Qiao Yingzi had completed her task.
Regardless of whether her grandparents supported her or not, she now has a reason to refute them.
If you support it, then you're in the same boat, putting yourself in others' shoes.
If you disagree, then how did Dad even get out of prison? He's doing just fine now.
There's always a reason, no matter what!
After hearing Qiao Yingzi's question, Qiao Weidong suddenly smiled, his eyes seeming to be reminiscing about the past!
"Your grandparents would naturally be reluctant to let their child go to such a far place. That's what parents do when they're willing to let their child go."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yingzi's heart sank!
But at that moment, Qiao Weidong spoke again!
"However, although I'm reluctant to part with him, your grandfather is very supportive. After all, a good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown!"
"I definitely had to venture out and make my own way in the world, so I came to Beijing alone and became a Beijing drifter!"
Suddenly, Qiao Weidong sighed and then remarked on this!
"Thinking about it now, more than 20 years have passed, but it feels like it was just yesterday!"
After saying that, he glanced at Qiao Yingzi!
He didn't want to repeat his own hardships on Qiao Yingzi, so he had to work hard to create a superior material life for her!

After hearing her father say that, Qiao Yingzi revealed a sly smile and looked at him.
Then her eyes twitched, and she suddenly looked at her father, whispering:
"Dad, do you support me going out and making my own way in the world in the future?"
Qiao Weidong was reminiscing about the past, so he didn't hear his beloved daughter's words clearly.
However, she couldn't show it, otherwise what if Qiao Yingzi thought she didn't value her?
Suddenly, Qiao Weidong's eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly came to him.
He agreed with Qiao Yingzi's words and then said spiritedly, "Of course! If you like it, then do it! Dad will support you!"
Qiao Yingzi's eyes lit up immediately, as if a hungry wolf had spotted meat.
I was speaking softly just now because I was afraid my dad would suddenly reject me.
But to my surprise, my dad said that he would support me as long as I liked it.
I was being so careful just now, but since that's the case, I might as well just tell my dad directly, right?
Even Fang Yifan, who was standing to the side, was stunned. Under normal circumstances, Qiao Weidong should have wanted Yingzi to stay by his side. Why would he agree to let her go out and make her way in the world?
I really can't figure it out!
Qiao Yingzi looked at her father and said directly to him, "Dad, you're so great!"
Qiao Weidong looked at the happy Qiao Yingzi in front of him and nodded in satisfaction. Luckily, he had been smart just now.
Qiao Yingzi looked at her father and then decided to tell him everything!
"Dad, it's like this, I invited you to dinner today because I'm planning to ask you for a favor!"
Qiao Yingzi blushed slightly as she spoke, clearly embarrassed.
Qiao Weidong's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly changed his mind.
Since she asked me for help, why didn't she ask someone else, or Song Qian? It's because Yingzi loves me more.
Thinking of this, Qiao Weidong suddenly became happy again!
It has to be said, Qiao Weidong is truly an old Ah Q!
They're incredibly good at self-comfort; their mentality is truly remarkable!
"You silly child, just say you need my help! Why are you inviting me to dinner? Just tell me directly, and if Dad can do it, he won't hesitate!"
Qiao Weidong patted his chest and gave Qiao Yingzi a discount and a guarantee!
"Huh?" Qiao Yingzi was stunned for a moment, her face still showing surprise.
I had already resigned myself to being punished by my dad.
However, Qiao Yingzi did not seem to have any tendency to be thin or sadistic. After hearing her father's words, she looked pleasantly surprised.
Things went so smoothly that I almost doubted whether this was a dream!
When Fang Yifan saw Qiao Yingzi looking at him, he suddenly covered his leg with his hand because he felt a slight pain!
It seems that Qiao Yingzi is planning to experiment on herself again, is she dreaming?
Qiao Yingzi looked at Fang Yifan, who was protecting her so well, her lips twitched, and in the end she could only shake her head with a hint of dissatisfaction before turning her gaze back to him.
Fang Yifan breathed a sigh of relief after he saw Qiao Yingzi shift her gaze to the side.
Qiao Yingzi shifted her focus back to Qiao Weidong, then looked at him with a grin!
"Dad, you can definitely do it. It's just a matter of getting your signature. I'm going to attend a winter camp. You won't object, will you?"
Qiao Weidong had just boasted that he could definitely do what he said, but he regretted it afterward.
It would be bad if I could do it myself, but it would cause changes to the whole family.
Qiao Weidong would definitely be willing to spend his money on Qiao Yingzi, but there are some things he can't do!
Upon hearing Qiao Yingzi's words, Qiao Weidong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy weight in his heart was lifted.
It turned out to be such a simple little thing, and Qiao Weidong started bragging again.
"Oh, it was just this little thing? That's good, it's a good thing you can relax now!"
"Dad knows about winter camp too. It's basically about going on trips and having meals with your classmates!"
"You have to go, Dad supports you!"
Upon hearing her father's words, Qiao Yingzi would have jumped up and started yelling if it weren't for the fact that they were in a restaurant and she was mindful of her manners.
However, he suppressed his excitement.
Then he explained to his father, "Thank you, Dad, but this winter camp is different from what you're talking about. It's organized by a university, and if you perform well, you can get admitted through their own admissions process, or even be guaranteed admission early!"
"So, I plan to participate!"
Qiao Weidong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had agreed and was ready, but Song Qian scolded him when he got home.
After all, she's in her final year of high school, a period of immense pressure, and he's giving her a break? Song Qian would never agree to that!
I was still struggling with this problem, but after hearing the rest, my eyes lit up.
It seems she's still going to study, so Song Qian probably won't have anything to say about it.
