Chapter 176: I’m Willing to Be Responsible for Her
After hearing Fang Pingjue’s words, Xu Pingfei got so angry that she burst out cursing, “Nonsense!” She disdainfully snorted and said, “Let them talk. At most, I’ll raise her for the rest of her life. Anyway, my family doesn’t lack money! Besides, it’s not like these are ancient times now. So what if women aren’t virgins?”
“You woman! I can’t talk to you!” Fang Pingjue was so angry that he felt like his head was about to explode. “You’re simply unreasonable!”
The two of them started arguing in the ward. No one noticed that Fang Yuqing had fainted from anger.
When they did notice, they did not know how long she had been unconscious.
“Qingqing!” Seeing that Fang Yuqing had fainted again, Xu Pingfei shouted and stopped arguing with Fang Pingjue.
Qiao Jiusheng also realized that Fang Yuqing was unwell, so she quickly pushed open the ward door and ran in to ask questions. Jiang Wei ran to call the doctor.

Two hours later, Fang Yuqing slowly woke up.
When she saw the ward full of people, she pursed her lips and bitterly smiled. “What’s wrong? Are you all here to persuade me to marry Young Master Xu?” Her tone was filled with mockery.
No one said anything, afraid that she would pa.s.s out again.
Fang Yuqing softly laughed and suddenly said, “Sure, I’ll marry him.” She was the one who had been self-centered. She did not have the right to be picky. She blamed her bad fate for having such a cold father who only cared about benefits.
Fang Pingjue heaved a sigh of relief, but Xu Pingfei’s eyes turned red.
Qiao Jiusheng’s eyes darkened, and she felt that it was a pity.
At this moment, Jiang Wei, who had been standing at the back of the crowd, said without any warning, “Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang, I’m sorry.”
Everyone looked behind the crowd.
Only then did Fang Yuqing notice that Jiang Wei was also here.
Jiang Wei’s words puzzled everyone.
“Why are you apologizing?” Xu Pingfei choked, still feeling sorry for her poor daughter.
Jiang Wei walked to the front. He deeply looked at Fang Yuqing before saying to Xu Pingfei, “That person is me.”
Everyone’s mouths fell open. Even Fang Yuqing was shocked.
“I’ve let Yuqing down. Yuqing and I were in a relations.h.i.+p, but we broke up some time ago after a conflict. Qingqing aborted our child in a fit of anger. I…” Jiang Wei held Fang Yuqing’s hand and seriously said, “I’m willing to be responsible for her.”
Jiang Wei’s words caused an earthquake.

“You’re really finding trouble for me!”
The moment Jiang Wei walked into the house, his father, Jiang Bo, pulled him to the living room and beat him up.
Jiang Bo held a wooden stick in his hand. One stick after another hit Jiang Wei’s shoulder.
Jiang Wei silently endured the punishment. He grunted but did not admit his mistake.
Jiang Jie and her mother anxiously stood by the side. Every time Jiang Bo waved the stick, the eyelids of the mother and daughter would tremble. Finally, when Jiang Bo was tired of beating his son, he stopped. He threw the stick away and glanced at Jiang Wei, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, and said, “Get upstairs!”
Jiang Wei clenched his fists, slowly stood up, and ran upstairs with a grimace.
Jiang Jie held her mother’s hand and followed her upstairs.
Jiang Wei’s mother rubbed the medicinal wine on her son’s shoulder and back and scolded him, “Child, how can you be so insensible? That girl from the Fang family almost lost her life because of you. It’s fine if you’re usually disobedient, but now, you almost caused someone’s death!
“You deserve to be hit!”
Jiang Wei’s mother was angry and heartbroken. She gently hit her son’s shoulder.
Jiang Wei lay on the bed and remained silent.
“Brother, when did you get together with Yuqing?” Jiang Jie asked. Why did I never realize it as his sister?
