"Blood ties can never be severed; they can never be cast aside. I did it for Nianhua’s good," Xu Qinghu explained, but her words only added fuel to the fire!
Xu Qinghe already disliked her and, upon hearing this, his disdain only grew. He said coldly, "You even have the nerve to mention that matter?"
"Big brother, I...I didn’t know the Yue Family would run into trouble," Xu Qinghu felt utterly wronged. Such a good match for marriage, why was his brother angry?
The Yue Family was so rich, reportedly already possessing tens of thousands, and even wealthier—marrying into the Yue Family, how could it be a loss?
Xu Qinghe sneered, clearly understanding that his sister had no idea what she did wrong; he didn’t even feel like speaking. He said, "You should leave."
"That’s not going to work."
Xu Qinghu hurriedly said, "Big brother, I heard you started a furniture factory. You see, hiring someone is hiring, why not take Fu Song under your wing, give him something to do?"
"As the saying goes, ’Why let the water in your own backyard flow into others’ fields?’"
Xu Qinghu’s voice was both urgent and fast, not giving anyone a chance to interject.
"The factory is fully staffed," Xu Qinghe rejected without a second thought.
"I heard your furniture factory is doing quite well? Why wouldn’t it work to add Fu Song? Moreover, aren’t there several people? Why not replace one of those people with my Fu Song?" Xu Qinghu reasoned it as a matter of course, saying, "Once Fu Song starts earning money, he definitely won’t forget your great help, big brother."
Xu Qinghe remained silent, just looking at Xu Qinghu; under the moonlight, her true intentions were crystal clear.
The factory workers were carefully selected by him and Xu Song, excellent prospects; what could Fu Song possibly contribute?
Previously at the brick factory, it was said that Fu Song was all talk, always messing things up.
Not to mention Nianhua’s incident, even without it, Xu Qinghe would never agree to such a thing. The furniture factory wasn’t his alone; he couldn’t just watch Fu Song ruin it!
Xu Qinghe’s refusal was very clear. He said, "Every person in the factory is a chosen prospect, none can be replaced. Besides, your Fu Song just isn’t cut out for this."
"Big brother, what you’re saying—he’s your brother-in-law," Xu Qinghu suddenly became upset. She wanted to say more, but Xu Qinghe didn’t give her a chance, saying, "Xu Qinghu, I’ll put it plainly today, Fu Song is not getting into the furniture factory!"
His words, one by one, were crystal clear.
His eyes glaringly round, he stared at Xu Qinghu and said, "The next three days are Nian’an and Nianhua’s college entrance exam days. If you dare cause any trouble, don’t blame me for letting slip the things you’ve done in the past."
Xu Qinghu pointed at Xu Qinghe, trembling with anger under his icy gaze.
Ji Ying, who had been of no help, simply followed Xu Qinghe home, watching Xu Qinghu get so worked up, she felt utterly relieved!
Xu Qinghu stomped her foot, her eyes filled with viciousness and mockery. She said, "So much for treating me like a sister, pah!"
"Dad, Mom, are you alright?"
Xu Nian’an and his siblings looked worriedly at Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying, sizing them up, fearing they might start fighting with Xu Qinghu.
"It’s nothing." Xu Qinghe didn’t want to involve them with these upsetting matters. He said, "Just go to sleep peacefully. Get up early tomorrow morning to go to school."
Ji Ying diverted the topic and asked, "Are all your pens and exam materials ready for tomorrow?"
