The Man In Rage novel Chapter 673

"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 place and tried to chase Ye Fan away.

They ended up compromising. 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's company doing well? I heard that the economy hasn't been doing well these past few years, and almost all the small companies 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 becomes 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 success is built on countless casualties. There is a limited market out there, so each time a competitor enters the market, the pie shrinks. Mu-Cheng is very young and stubborn, so I can't help 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. The company is flourishing. Even if something happens, I will be there to help her.”

"You'll help her?" asked Qiu Huan quizzically as she glanced 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!
