Chapter 673 Qiu Huan''s Disappointment


    "Honghong, how can you say that? It''s so rude. Fan came all the way from Yunzhou to celebrate


    Jingjing''s birthday, so where should he stay if he doesn''t stay with us? Out in the streets?" asked Qiu


    Huan unhappily. She felt that her niece was getting too willful.


    Qiu Huan was the host, but Lu Hong acted as though she owned the ce and tried to chase Ye Fan


    away.


    They ended uppromising. Qiu Huan got Lu Wen-Jing to let Ye Fan have her room while they


    shared a bed tonight.


    Ye Fan would sleep in Lu Wen-Jing''s room instead.


    And Lu Hong kept her original room.


    Lu Wen-Jing didn''t have a problem and even wanted to sleep with Ye Fan.


    The little girl''s innocent words tickled both Ye Fan and Qiu Huan.


    Qiu Huan came knocking on Ye Fan''s door after Lu Hong and the others had gone to bed and asked,


    "Fan, are you asleep?"


    Ye Fan got up to open the door and said, "Not yet, Auntie Huan.”


    Qiu Huan nodded and continued, "I see. Come over to the living room. I''d like to have a chat with you."


    Although Ye Fan was perplexed about her intentions, he followed her to the living room.


    "Fan, is Mu-Cheng''spany doing well? I heard that the economy hasn''t been doing well these past


    few years, and almost all the smallpanies without strong backgrounds all closed down. Some


    business owners took risks and borrowed from loan sharks but ended up ruining their families without


    making a dime. You have to tell Mu-Cheng too. Real estate hinges on connections, so if it bes


    unsustainable, just move into a different industry. Tell her never to borrow from loan sharks."


    Qiu Huan was always very concerned about her niece.


    Qiu Huan went behind Old Master Qiu''s back and got Lu Wen-Jing to send Qiu Mu-Cheng $100,000


    the moment they got banished from the Qiu family.


    But Qiu Huan knew that while $100,000 was enough for a family in need, it was insufficient to sustain a


    business.


    Qiu Huan was very worried that the stubborn Qiu Mu-Cheng would persist with the business even if it


    was beyond her means and lose everything in the process.


    Since Qiu Huan''s husband was a businessman, she had some understanding of the business world


    thanks to his influence.


    "Although people in business look impressive on the outside, it is a ruthless trade. Business is just like


    war, and sess is built on countless casualties. There is a limited market out there, so each time a


    worrying she will lose out," said Qiu Huan with an intense look of concern on her face.


    Ye Fan smiled and consoled her, "Auntie Huan, don''t worry. Thepany is flourishing. Even if


    something happens, I will be there to help her.”


    "You''ll help her?" asked Qiu Huan quizzically as she nced at Ye Fan before shaking her head.


    "Fan, you are good-natured but a little too naive. There are many things about business you are


    unaware of. It''s not that easy for you to help Mu-Cheng. Forget it. I shouldn''t have started talking about


    this. It''s not like she will buy your opinion either," said Qiu Huan as she shook her head and sighed.


    Then she stopped chatting to Ye Fan about Qiu Mu-Cheng.


    After all, in Qiu Huan''s perspective, even if Ye Fan was Qiu Mu-Cheng''s husband, he was still a lowly


    live-in husband.


    Ye Fan had low status in the Qiu family for three years. Who would give a hoot about what he said?


    Even Qiu Mu-Cheng probably didn''t care about Ye Fan''s opinion.


    Everyone despised a useless man.


    Even his wife!


    But Qiu Huan still wanted to help Qiu Mu-Cheng since she was her aunt.


    "Ye Fan, I don''t know how to start, but I have to say my piece since I''m Mu-Cheng''s aunt. No matter


    how you ended up marrying into the Qiu family and bing her husband, you are a man above all.


    Even if you are a live-in husband, you have a responsibility to support the family. Mu-Cheng can''t be


    the only person supporting the family," said Qiu Huan gravely.


    Ye Fan nodded and said, "Auntie Huan, I understand all of this!”


    "No, you don''t. If you did, you wouldn''t have idled around at home while Mu-Cheng worked. How about


    this? After Lunar New Year is over, I will get someone to find you a job and you can start working after


    the holiday. Men need to work. It won''t do for you to sit around and idle," said Qiu Huan gradually.


    Ye Fan bitterly smiled as he shook his and rejected her offer, "Auntie Huan, there''s no need to go


    through the trouble. Mu-Cheng and I can take care of ourselves."


    Qiu Huan instantly got anxious and said, "Why, Fan? Are you unappreciative about getting a job, or do


    you not want to work? Why are you so stubborn? If you reject my offer now, the same opportunity won''t


    knock twice. Your uncle has the connections to find you a job, but if you wait to ask after his business


    folds, it will be toote to regret."


    Qiu Huan felt angry since her high hopes for Ye Fan didn''t materialize.


    Lu Ming-Ze didn''t tell Qiu Huan about what they witnessed in Yunzhou when Lu Ming-Ze went to pick


    Lu Wen-Jing up.


    So Qiu Huan was unaware of how incredible Ye Fan was.


    In her eyes, Ye Fan was still the same old useless live-in husband and Qiu Mu-Cheng''s burden.


    She wanted to help Ye Fan, but he surprisingly turned her down.


    In the end, Qiu Huan still failed to convince Ye Fan otherwise.


    "Forget it. Since you insist on turning down my offer, then so be it. All I can do is make suggestions. It''s


    up to you to live your own lives. Go on and rest. You must be exhausted from taking the train," said Qiu


    Huan. She ended the conversation and went back to the room with a stiff and unhappy look on her


    face.


    Qiu Huan kept shaking her head as she sighed after she went back to her room.


    "It''s hard on Mu-Cheng to marry a man like him. Perhaps that''s her destiny.”


    Qiu Huan was even more disappointed with Ye Fan after their little chat tonight.


    She undoubtedly felt even more sympathetic about Qiu Mu-Cheng''s situation.


    Qiu Mu-Cheng was such a stunning girl but


    ended up marrying a man like Ye Fan.


    So Qiu Huan felt that Qiu Mu-Cheng had a hard life and felt bad for her.


    Ye Fan didn''t know what was running through Qiu Huan''s mind.


    But even if Ye Fan did, he probably wouldn''t care.


    It was his life, so why care about someone else''s opinion?


    The night passed very quickly.


    It was Lu Wen-Jing''s birthday today.
