Fang Mingyu's heart sank: "Yeah."
"You still remember to answer the phone? My parents and brother came to congratulate you, but you treated us like this!" Chen Nian cursed loudly on the other end of the phone.
Fang Mingyu quickly explained: "I really don't know anything. Believe me, I'm not that kind of person."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"I just got back today and I don't know what happened."
"Really?" Chen Nian's tone returned to normal.
"Really. Where are you now? I'm looking for you!" Fang Mingyu said.
Chen Nian gave an address, and they did not leave. If they left now, they would really lose everything. Now that they had contacted Fang Mingyu, they had to hold on to him.
But when the Chen family saw Fang Mingyu wolfing down the bowl of noodles with a look of dejection on his face, they were startled.
"Why are you working in my company? I'm fired." Fang Mingyu said. He didn't have any resentment, but just felt strange.
The Chen family looked at each other and decided to avoid the topic.
"Fang Mingyu, what about letting Nian Nian live in your house?" Chen Yuju suddenly thought of this topic. "So what if you're unemployed? We can't even afford a place to live! This crappy rental costs three hundred yuan a month!"
Fang Mingyu was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I don't have a house anymore."
"What?" Everyone in the Chen family was shocked.
Fang Mingyu didn't want to mention his father, so he just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My house was sold."
"It must be that group of barbarians!" Chen Nian shouted.
Fang Mingyu looked at her, a little confused for a moment. Did Chen Nian look like this before? He recalled that no, Chen Nian's face was a little dark at that time, but her eyes were clear and her smile was innocent.
And now, Chen Nian, who was cursing the Fang family, had a distorted face. Her eyes were full of calculation and anger, without a trace of the look she had seen at the beginning.
Seeing that he was slow to speak, Chen Yu asked, "What should we do next?" He was talking about us, not you.
Fang Mingyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know either. I've lost my job, my money, and my house."
The Chen family looked at him with disbelief on their faces, but Fang Mingyu's dejected expression didn't seem like he was pretending.
After a long while, Chen Nian said, "Brother Mingyu, can you reimburse us for the medical expenses?"
Fang Mingyu felt a pang of pain in his heart. This family... He reached out and searched his backpack and trouser pockets, but all the money he put together could only amount to a few dozen yuan.
Chen Nian was silent.
The entire dilapidated rental house fell into an eerie silence, with only the dim light occasionally flickering due to unstable voltage.
Fang Mingyu smiled bitterly: "I can barely protect myself right now. If you hadn't taken me in, I'd have to live on the streets."
The Chen family didn't say anything.
Fang Mingyu really lived in this small rental house for one day. Two days and three days later, he tried to contact his father, but the call was unsuccessful. He also tried to contact Lin Wei, but Lin Wei was always out of service area.
The Chen family finally confirmed that Fang Mingyu was finished, and he had lost all his money and house.
