The Fang family's gate was wide open.
Fang's mother stood under the eaves, directing the two housekeepers to carry his packed suitcase to the car.
Fang Yuanzhou stood in the rain, holding an umbrella, watching them busy themselves with an indifferent expression.
After the nanny closed the trunk, he waved to Mrs. Fang and said, "Mrs. Fang, I'm leaving now. Don't miss your precious son too much!"
Fang's mother was furious and was about to tell him to leave when she looked up and saw Qin Yue getting out of the car at the door.
She glanced at Fang Yuanzhou, gestured to the nanny to hand her the umbrella, and then walked towards Qin Yue with the umbrella in her hand.
Fang Yuanzhou simply didn't get in the car. He walked to the eaves in a few quick steps, leaned against the wall, waved to Qin Yue, and then gestured for her to come in: "Cousin's here! Please come in, please come in."
"Yueyue, don't pay any attention to him. This brat is really making me angry." As she spoke, Fang's mother glared at the unruly Fang Yuanzhou, then beckoned and led Qin Yue inside. "How did you get here? Did your parents come? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Your aunt could have picked you up at the station."
Fang Yuanzhou followed the two men with one hand in his pocket and a leisurely stroll.
"I came by myself to visit you all and take care of some things. Where are Grandma and Uncle?"
“It’s been raining a lot lately, and your grandmother’s old leg problem has flared up again, so your uncle took her to the hospital to get it checked out.”
"Is it serious?" Qin Yue asked hurriedly upon hearing this.
"It's nothing serious, just a bit of swelling and pain from catching a chill."
"Which hospital is it? I'll go take a look."
"No need, your uncle is here, so don't worry. They should be back by now, so don't make a wasted trip."
Seeing Fang Yuanzhou sit down on the sofa, Fang's mother's eyelids twitched. She suppressed her anger and said, "Didn't you say you were leaving? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
“I didn’t say I was leaving. You’re the one who’s trying to kick me out. I want to wait for Grandma to come back and see her.”
As Fang Yuanzhou spoke, he picked a grape from the fruit plate on the table, popped it into his mouth, ate it whole, spat it into the trash can, and asked Qin Yue with an excited glint in his eyes, "Sister, I heard from my aunt that you and Qin Xu broke up?"
Qin Yue was taken aback.
Fang's mother glared at him and then gave Qin Yue a smirk: "When I was on the phone with your mother, this kid overheard me. I know you and Xiao Xu just had a little disagreement, so don't take his words to heart."
Fang's mother was really furious. Having such a troublesome and tactless son made her hair turn white earlier than others.
Qin Yue smiled faintly: "It's nothing, Qin Xu and I..."
They paused for a moment before continuing, "We really haven't been in contact with each other. Now that he's graduated and can earn money, not being in the Qin family won't have any impact on him."
"So many years of feelings..."
Since they weren't her own children, Fang's mother, as an elder, couldn't say who was at fault.
But Fang Yuanzhou didn't care. He interrupted his mother without any politeness and gave Qin Yue a thumbs up: "If you ask me, this is the best thing you've ever done since you were a child. Qin Xu is really no good."
Relying on Qin Yue's protection, he's arrogant and has always looked down on him and Fang Yuanyuan for being incompetent, while he himself is capable.
Hey, if you're so capable, make Qin Yue break off her relationship with him.
Next time I see Qin Xu, I'll see how he mocks me.
Fang's mother got angry when she saw him like this: "This is no good, that is no good, only you are good. You've only been at your father's company for a few days and you're still late and leaving early? If you're really capable, let me see you make something of yourself."
"I wanted to invest in esports, but you wouldn't let me. I'm really not interested in the company's other businesses." The Qin and Fang families mainly produce and sell food and beverages, and in recent years they have also been researching and developing sports catering.
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, put on a fawning smile, got up and walked behind Fang's mother, massaging her shoulders: "I heard from people at the company that the endorsement contract for one of the company's beverages is about to expire, and they don't plan to renew it because of the endorsement fee issue."
How about this, I recommend someone to you, an artist named Dong Lingling. She's incredibly beautiful. Although she's still a newcomer, with her potential, she's sure to become a huge star in the future. Signing her now for such a low endorsement fee is definitely a steal.
"Give her this endorsement, and I guarantee she'll stay in the company obediently, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue, who had been silent, looked up. She was unaware that her uncle's company had an artist endorsement deal expire and was preparing to find a new artist to collaborate with.
Fang's mother was so angry that she slapped his hand away. Ignoring Qin Yue's presence, she immediately said with a cold face, "Have you forgotten why I asked you to move out? If you continue to associate with those internet celebrities and models, you can forget about me being your mother!"
"And what potential does she have? What works does she have? How many people even know this Lingling? Is giving her an endorsement to increase product awareness, or just to make her more recognizable?"
Besides, she knows her son very well. He's unreliable, irresponsible, and brainless. He thinks he's someone special just because his family has some money. What kind of good people can he associate with?
We don't want any bad news to come out and negatively impact the company's products.
"What's wrong with me dating internet celebrity models? I didn't steal or rob anyone. I broke up with each one amicably before moving on to the next one. Yuanyuan is looking for a tall, innocent male college student with eight-pack abs. Why don't you talk about her?" Fang Yuanzhou emphasized the word "innocent."
"Look what I said to her when she came back this time!" Neither of them gives her any peace of mind. Look how well-behaved Qin Yue is, and she's even dating someone reliable.
"Fang Yuanzhou, let me tell you, you either break off all contact with those women you've been seeing, or you move out. There's no room for discussion."
"I'll move it, I'll move it, okay? I'll move it when Grandma comes back, so she can see how her precious grandson is kicked out by his own mother."
Fang's mother was too lazy to argue with him anymore. Thinking of something, she turned her gaze to Qin Yue: "By the way, Yueyue runs an entertainment company. I think your company's artists are all pretty good. Do they endorse any competing products? If not, why don't we wait for your uncle to come back and talk about this?"
Anyway, it's better to keep the good stuff in the family.
Qin Yue did not refuse Fang's mother's kindness and said with a smile, "Okay, when my uncle comes back, I will ask about the situation and have the company coordinate and follow the necessary procedures. If they feel that the artists in my company are not suitable, they should find other artists."
"Sister, why don't you hire Dong Lingling into the company?"
Fang Yuanzhou pulled out a photo of the two of them on his phone and showed it to Qin Yue.
"Isn't she beautiful? Her acting is also quite good, she just lacks an opportunity. If you give her that opportunity, who knows, she might win a Best Actress award in the future."
