After the discussion ended, Ye Qingmei was elated. She kept talking to Chu Qing about how great her daughter was.
Chu Qing could only brace himself and respond.
As for Ye Jingzhu, she personally apologized to Chu Qing, and the latter did not take it to heart. There were many feminists in this world, so he could not kill them all.
Ye Chenxi sent Chu Qing out with tears in her eyes. It seemed like she wanted to devote herself to him.
A mischievous thought suddenly crossed Chu Qing’s mind…
Have I successfully manipulated Ye Chenxi?
Chu Qing smiled evilly and suddenly pulled Ye Chenxi back.
“Ye Chenxi, do you want to repay me?”
“I want to. 1 can repay you in any way you want. It’s best if you sleep with me…”
“How about this…”
Chu Qing quietly whispered into Ye Chenxi’s ear. At the next moment, Ye Chenxi flew into a rage on the spot and chased after Chu Qing to beat him up!
“You’re the maid! You’re the one wearing the rabbit ears! Not me!”
Although Ye Chenxi had shown her violent side, Chu Qing knew that she was still worth manipulating.
Chu Qing did not stay with the Ye family for long. As the auction approached, he suddenly felt that he had more things to do.
He was ambitious. He wanted to establish an empire that belonged to him in Jinmen City —a business empire!
However, if he wanted to build one, he needed a lot of resources. Chu Qing had the technology now, but he still lacked managers.
As for the other aspects, Zhai Yu, Ye Chenxi, and the rest would probably be able to give him some help occasionally.
This way, Chu Qing could spend less effort on them.
He scratched his aching head. It seemed like he had to prepare a lot of things for this auction!
As he thought about it, Chu Qing had already arrived at the entrance of the house. A guest seemed to have arrived as there was an additional pair of shoes at the door.
He pushed the door open and entered.
“Hey, Chu Qing. You’re back.”
An exceptionally friendly voice sounded. It was his mother’s voice.
“Why are you back so early today?”
His father was a little puzzled. Usually, Chu Qing would go out for a while after school.
He didn’t expect Chu Qing to come back early this time.
“Oh… I’m not feeling well today, so I took leave and went home early.”
“Okay, let’s talk about this later. Come, let me introduce you to someone.”
His mother asked Chu Qing to sit down. There was also a woman sitting on the sofa beside him. She looked at Chu Qing with a meaningful gaze, making Chu Qing feel a little uncomfortable. However, when he thought of his parents, he still braced himself and sat down.
“Chu Qing, I’m your second aunt—your mother’s elder sister.”
That person took off her sunglasses and reached out to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing nodded and shook hands with his second aunt.
Chu Qing had a sense that this self-proclaimed second aunt had ulterior motives. He had never been aware of having any relatives since he was young. Other families would often visit or mention their relatives, but throughout his childhood, Chu Qing’s parents never mentioned having such a relative.
“He’s so handsome. You haven’t arranged a match for him yet, have you?”
Arranged a match? What?!
Chu Qing’s eyes widened. What was this about? He was only 18 years old this year, and he was still a young man.
“No… He’s still too young. We don’t have any plans for this yet.”
His mother smiled awkwardly and looked at his second aunt, her eyes filled with helplessness.
“He’s not young anymore. In the Chu family, many children marry off at the age of 16 or 17.”
Second Aunt looked indifferent, but her eyes were still sizing up Chu Qing as if she was choosing a commodity.
This gaze made Chu Qing feel cold as if he had goosebumps all over his body.
“Second Aunt, 1 don’t plan to find someone 1 like, and 1 don’t plan to get married for the time being. 1 want to wait until I finish university.”
At this moment, Chu Qing also understood that this person had come here today for him with ill intentions.
“University? He’s just a little boy. Why would he go to university…”
A look of disdain filled Second Aunt’s eyes, as if she considered it a waste of money for boys to pursue a university education.
A flicker of anger crossed Chu Qing’s face. He had always disliked people like her in his past life. There were even people who had said to his parents before, “Why should girls go to university? In the end, they will just get married.”
Chu Qing remembered his sister’s expression very clearly. It was filled with helplessness!
This kind of person who favored boys over girls had now become someone who favored girls over boys in this world!
“By the way, where’s Chu Xiao? Why don’t I see her? Is she in postgraduate studies?”
Second Aunt abruptly changed the subject and mentioned Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao was most likely still sleeping in her room at that moment. Chu Qing speculated that she had probably enjoyed another night of fun since their parents were not at home. Knowing Chu Xiao’s personality, she would surely make the most of every opportunity to have fun.
“No, she’s at home now. She isn’t doing anything.”
“Oh, what a shame. That’s precisely why I mentioned that your family’s approach to education is lacking. She has turned out to be just like your mother in the past,” Second Aunt commented.
Second Aunt kept talking non-stop as if she did not notice the disdainful gazes of the three Chu family members.
Chu Qing even contemplated whether he should find someone to put a sack over her and teach her a lesson once this matter was resolved. People like her always had a way of provoking anger in others..
