"Listen, my son also has aspirations to become an artist. He’s in his fourth year at a film institute this year. What do you think?"
After rambling on for six or seven minutes, Ge Lin finally revealed the purpose of her visit, her smile as obsequious as ever.
Unlike Nanchen’s mother, Ge Lin married a millionaire. She looked down on her poor relatives, especially her foolish older sister.
She rejected a wealthy man to be with a scholar.
It was unfathomable.
So incomprehensible that, given the chance, Ge Lin was willing to step into her sister’s shoes and marry the rich man herself.
If it had been any other Chinese New Year, Ge Lin wouldn’t have bothered coming.
Poor relatives. Not worth her time.
But this year was different.
She knew that Yu Ting was the CEO of VG Entertainment.
Rich, young, and a relative, coupled with her son’s impending graduation. It was as if this opportunity had been bestowed upon her by heaven itself.
She had to seize it!
With that thought, Ge Lin was already envisioning her wonderful future life, once her son became a famous star.
"We’ll see," Yu Ting answered indifferently.
She utterly disdained Ge Lin’s behavior.
Though not a good aunt, she was surprisingly a good mother.
For her son, she could do anything.
From the corner, Lu Nanchen, who had been silent the entire time, his face turned even more stony when he saw the man entering from behind. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Anyone could guess what was going on in Ge Lin’s mind.
"Let’s go."
Lu Nanchen took Yu Ting’s hand and led her away, leaving his startled aunt with a chilling glance.
She’d brought her schemes right into his home.
"What is this? Is this how you treat your elders?" Ge Lin began as she tried to stop Yu Ting, only to find Lu Nanchen had already led her away. She immediately scolded.
"Exactly, is this how you treat your aunt and me, your cousin?"
Qin Tao quickly chimed in, seeming a bit flustered by Lu Nanchen’s behavior.
Interesting. Before,
Both Ge Lin and Qin Tao hated Lu Nanchen. Ge Lin despised his irresponsibility and constant showboating over her son. Whether it was height, appearance, grades, or education, he was superior in every way.
Qin Tao also disliked him because he was constantly overshadowed by Lu Nanchen at school. For over a decade, he played a supporting role—always in his shadow.
Their resentment dated back to when they were both very young and developed over time.
Qin Tao started harboring a crush on the most beautiful girl in the adjacent class when he was in junior high.
After secretly admiring her for several months, he suddenly received a letter from her. Inside the pink envelope was a feminine handwriting that shyly asked,
"What’s your cousin’s phone number?"
And many more requests.
Like, ’Can you pass this love letter to your cousin?’ ’Can you help me deliver this box of cookies to your brother?’ ’How does your cousin get such good grades?’ ’Thank you, you’re such a good boy.’
Beautiful young girls would slowly approach him, then hesitantly ask, ’What kind of girl does your cousin like?’
And similar queries.
Tons of them.
The whole situation left an indelible mark on the young Qin Tao’s heart, sparking intense resentment toward Lu Nanchen.
All attention was on him!
"So you think it’s okay to scheme under my own roof?" Lu Nanchen turned sideways, his cold gaze sweeping over them, "If you can’t even act like proper adults, then why should I treat you as such?"
