My System Seems Different from Theirs

“What? You’re saying that even with half a million troops under my command, the Emperor still suspects me of treason?”

“Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence....

Chapter 491: Ungrateful 1 (2/2)

Chen Nian said she wanted to come here to study in high school, so the Chen family begged Fang Mingyu to let the child live in his house. Fang Mingyu didn't say anything, after all, Chen Nian lived far away from home. But Lin Wei was a little unhappy because she and Fang Mingyu had just discussed having a child and were planning to convert the second bedroom into a baby room. But looking at the pitiful Chen family, Lin Wei finally agreed.

After Chen Nian entered high school, her expenses gradually increased, and her family members would often call to ask for money, sometimes asking for living expenses from Chen Nian's younger brother, or sometimes complaining, such as someone in the family was sick, to ask for a few dollars.

After a long time, Lin Wei began to hesitate: "Is it too much?"

Fang Mingyu sighed, "It's really not easy for their family. Let's wait a little longer, until Chen Nian goes to college."

Lin Wei smiled and said, "That's right, be a good person to the end."

When Chen Nian first moved in, she was quite understanding and helped with cleaning the house, washing clothes and dishes, but she gradually changed.

She would secretly use Lin Wei's skin care products and wear Lin Wei's clothes when Fang Mingyu and his wife were not at home. She thought Lin Wei's cooking was too bland, so she often went out to eat. When Fang Mingyu paid the bill, she would say that she had been studying for a long time and had eaten out.

Fang Mingyu didn't think too much about it. He was very busy and had to work overtime every day in order to make more money.

The Chen family members also often came, not empty-handed. They would either bring vegetables they grew themselves or some unknown "nutritional supplements". However, they would always ask Fang Mingyu to reimburse their travel expenses. They even treated Fang Mingyu's house as their own and entered and exited every room without any hesitation.

One day, Chen Xu asked Fang Mingyu to help him find a job, saying that he also wanted to move to the city to relieve the pressure on his family.

Fang Mingyu was a little puzzled. He didn't know that the job of gatekeeper that he had found for Chen Yu had been lost to someone else in a card game. However, facing such a request, Fang Mingyu felt a little overwhelmed. He was just a technician and didn't have much ability.

Chen Yu's face darkened. "Mingyu, you promised to help her at the beginning. You also said that our two families are like relatives. Now you don't want to acknowledge your poor relatives anymore?"

Fang Mingyu felt like a thorn in his heart, but in the end he asked a friend to find a cleaning job for Chen Yu in a private company. However, Chen Yu resigned after only two days, complaining about the low salary. Chen's family thought that Fang Mingyu just found a crappy job to get rid of them, but Fang Mingyu was unaware of it.

Lin Wei was pregnant. Upon hearing the news, Chen Nian immediately asked Chen Li to come to their house, saying that they would take care of Lin Wei. Fang Mingyu thought about it and agreed, but Chen Li refused to do anything. Instead, he asked Lin Wei to do housework with her belly bulging. She would only show some support when Fang Mingyu got off work. Lin Wei knew that Fang Mingyu was under a lot of pressure, and thought that less was better than more. As a result, one day, she fainted in the kitchen, and Chen Li, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, didn't care at all. By the time Lin Wei was sent to the hospital, it was too late, and the child could not be saved. Chen Li knew that he had caused trouble, so he ran away with Chen Nian without saying a word.

Fang Mingyu took a long vacation to stay home with his wife, but after he disappeared for a while, Chen Nian came again.

She said she was getting married.

"Your house is in a great location, and you don't have any children, so please sell it to me at the price it was ten years ago."

Fang Mingyu was shocked. He really didn't understand how Chen Nian could say such words. Lin Wei, who was already weak, shouted at her to get out. Chen Nian left with a look of dissatisfaction on her face and a sneer.

The next day, Chen Qi brought relatives from his hometown to surround Fang Mingyu's company, saying that he was "ungrateful and took advantage of his daughter and refused to return the favor."
