The Qin family villa has always been Qin Zhentian, Qin Ze mother, and their son living in it, and since Qin Yunshan is disappointed in his son, Qin Zhentian, also does not like Qin Ze mother and son, he lives in the old mansion halfway up the hill. Qin Shen, who grew up next to Qin Yunshan, went to study abroad when he reached high school.

He occasionally returned home to see Qin Yunshan and Fang Miao, but he seldom returned to the villa. After graduating from college, Qin Yunshan asked him to return to China and join the company, but he didn’t agree and opened a company abroad himself. Four years ago, he returned to China and took over the company at the behest of Qin Yunshan.

When he arrived at the villa, Qin Shen got out of the car and entered the living room, there a subordinate greeted him, “Welcome Young master.”

Qin Shen took off his coat and handed it over, nodding his head, “Aunt Fang.”

  “I knew that the young master is coming, so the kitchen is stewing the soup you like. Master is upstairs in the study; I’ll go and call him.” Aunt Fang took the coat and hung it up, and she was about to go upstairs when Lu Keying, wearing light makeup, appeared on the stairs, looking downstairs at the living room with a smile on her face, “Ah Shen is here.”
She turned her head towards the study and called out, “Zhentian, Xiao Ze, Ah Shen is here.”
Qin Zhentian came out of the study, went downstairs, and nodded towards Qin Shen, “Coming.”
Qin Ze also came downstairs from his room and reluctantly called out “Brother.”

“Master, madam, the food is ready. Do you want me to bring it out now?” Aunt Fang asked from the side.”
“Bring it up.” Lu Keying ordered. When they sat at the table, the food was brought up. They ate in silence for a moment, Lu Keying pulled Qin Zhentian´s pants leg under the table before he put down his chopsticks, picked up a towel, wiped his mouth, and asked. “I heard that you scolded Xiao Ze at the Cloud View Hotel for a starlet a few days ago, and didn’t let him take his friends there anymore, is that true?”

“What? Did he come back and tell you off?” Qin Shen also wiped his mouth with a towel and looked up at Qin Ze.

“Don’t you care whether he told me or not?” Qin Zhentian’s face showed displeasure, “Xiao Ze is your brother anyway. How can you not even let Xiao Ze into your own hotel just for a small star? If word gets out, others will not know how to laugh at him.”

“He is still afraid of others’ ridicule?” Qin Shen sank his face, “He harassed the guests in the corridor, which was what was ruining the hotel’s reputation. Do you want to let what happened four years ago repeat itself again?”

Qin Zhentian and Qin Ze’s faces both changed. Four years ago, Qin Yunshan had a serious illness and was recuperating from surgery, the company was managed by Qin Zhentian; Qin Ze had just returned from college and was ambitious. He thought he was a business wizard. Qin Zhentian convinced by Lu Keying’s pillow talk and also thinking that his son is very powerful, let Qin Ze be in charge of the company’s most important department. As a result, Qin Ze was too blindly arrogant, causing the company to lose several major projects one after another, and even trade secrets were nearly leaked out, causing the company to go bankrupt.

“When did I harass him?” Qin Ze was annoyed, “It was clearly him who seduced me first. He knew that I was the second young master of the Qin family and wanted to jump on me!”

“Ah Shen. What happened back was because your brother was too young, but that was just a mistake, he already learned his lesson.” Lu Keying whispered softly next to him “As for your claim that he harassed the guests, there must be a misunderstanding. I know how those starlets in the circle act; they all just want to climb up the ladder. I believe Xiao Ze’s words.”

Qin Shen snorted coldly, “Of course you know, you knew the way to become Mrs. Qin.”

Lu Keying’s face stiffened and her hands clenched around her chopsticks.

“Ah Shen, that is not how you should talk to your aunt.” Qin Zhentian was furious.

Qin Shen simply stood up, “You asked me to come here just to talk about this? I’ll leave now if there’s nothing else. I have things to do at the company.”

After saying that, he did not wait for the people at the table to say anything, and he just took his coat and left.

“Why did you tell him to back? What a way to make everyone uncomfortable.” Qin Ze glared at Qin Zhentian and Lu Keying, threw down his chopsticks, and went upstairs.

Lu Keying had an ugly face and complained to Qin Zhentian. “I told you to mention Xiao Ze’s return to the company. Why did you mention such a thing?”

Qin Zhentian’s face also blackened. “Look at Shen’s attitude. Is he going to let Xiao Ze go back to the company? If you want to mention it, go ahead. I won’t!”

After saying that, he also threw down his chopsticks and went upstairs.

Lu Keying sat alone at the table and her nails pinched into her palms. Aunt Fang came over and cautiously said, “Madam, these dishes ……”

“Throw them away, throw all of them for me!” Her well-maintained face twisted with anger.

Qiao Xin has just returned to China, so she still didn’t have a house in the country, thus she was temporarily living in Qin Shen’s house. Qin Shen spends most of his time at the company and doesn’t cook at home, so there was nothing in the refrigerator except wine and water. Qiao Xin asked her assistant to go to the supermarket to buy food to fill the entire refrigerator. She made the lunchbox by hand and sent it to Fang Miao.

When Fang Miao finished filming, he asked Sun Fei Fei to get the boxed lunch and went back to the minivan first. When he pulled open the car door, he saw Qiao Xin sitting inside and was surprised: “Mom.”

“Made you a lunchbox with love.” Qiao Xin raised the lunch box in her hand and said with a smile.

“I knew mom was the best to me.” Fang Miao got into the car and hugged the love lunchbox, asking, “Just for me? Not a share for dad?”

“I already divorced him. What’s the point of sending him a lunchbox?” Qiao Xin rubbed her son’s head, “Eat it. It will get cold later.”

Fang Miao grunted and ate two bites, then remembered, “Mom’s lunchbox is so delicious, so I’ll take it over to Jiang Yu to try.”

After saying that, he got out of the car with the lunchbox and went to Jiang Yu.

When Sun Fei Fei returned with the boxed lunch, she saw Qiao Xin in the car and froze, shouting, “Miss Qiao.” Qiao Xin’s slender fingers were holding a lit lady’s cigarette (1), leaning against the back seat with her legs crossed. She turned her head from the window to look at her, nodding, “Come in and sit.”
Sun Fei Fei stood hesitantly at the car door, “Where’s Miao Miao?”
“Went to find a friend.” Qiao Xin looked at her and hooked the corner of his mouth, “Why don’t you come in? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?”
“Miss Qiao is really joking.” Sun Fei Fei smiled in a far-fetched way, bowed her head, and entered the car, closing the door.
“My Miao Miao is spoiled. Working beside him as an assistant, it is not so easy, right?” Qiao Xin pressed out the cigarette in the car ashtray and said as if making small talk.
Sun Fei Fei sat next to her and smiled, “It’s okay, Miao Miao has a child’s temper. It’s just a matter of getting used to it.”
“You are just a few years older than Miao Miao, right? A girl that studied in a good university, and got a decent job just out of it. Why do you have to do this kind of thing.” Qiao Xin looked at her, shook her head, and sighed.
Sun Fei Fei’s face turned white and she tensed up.
Qiao Xin snorted, her face cold, “I don’t care what you do with him, but you must not do anything to endanger Miao Miao when he’s around, or else, don’t blame me for being unkind to you.”
The car door was swished open, and Fang Miao leaped into the car with his lunch box, saying, “Mom, Jiang Yu praised you for the delicious lunchbox you made, so you should make one for him next time, too. His parents are gone, it’s so sad.
A gentle smile returned to Qiao Xin’s face as she reached out to take the lunchbox, “As you wish. Next time I will make one for your friend too. What does he like to eat?”
The next time she made a lunchbox, Qiao Xin made one for Jiang Yu as well. Qin Shen happened to be resting and saw his mother busy in the kitchen, so he went in to look and asked, “Why did you prepare two lunchboxes?”
Qiao Xin picked up the fried yellowtail and put it on a plate, saying, “The other one is for Miao Miao’s new friend. I heard from Miao Miao that he lost his parents. It’s a pity that he is so young.”
Qin Shen was stunned, “…… Are you talking about Jiang Yu?”
“Who else could it be. Miao Miao said he likes fish the most. This child is quite interesting, called Jiang Yu, and also like to eat fish (2).” Qin Shen was in the middle of the kitchen, so Qiao Xin pushed him, “Go out, don’t stand here.”
Qiao Xin was about to go out when she received a call from her agent asking her to come over.
“I’ll send it to the set for you.” Qin Shen was in the living room processing emails and heard Qiao Xin talking on the phone, so he shut down the computer and said.
“That’s fine.” Qiao Xin didn’t think much about it and handed him the lunchbox.
Qin Shen drove to the set, but it was not time for noon break yet, so the crew was still filming on the set. He made a call to Fang Miao’s agent, got into Fang Miao’s minivan first, and waited inside.
Jiang Yu finished shooting before Fang Miao, so when Fang Miao heard that the lunchbox came, he let Jiang Yu go to the minivan first
When Jiang Yu heard that Fang Miao’s mother had made him a lunchbox and it was his favorite fish, he happily ran to Fang Miao’s minivan and pulled open the door. When he saw Qin Shen inside the car, his smile froze and the word “auntie” got stuck in his throat.
When Qin Shen saw him, he moved his finger and was about to hand him the lunchbox in his hand when suddenly the car door closed with a swish.
Qin Shen was stunned to hear the sound of footsteps outside the car. Fang Miao’s voice sounded, “Xiao Yu, what are you doing standing outside the car, go inside.”
“Mr. Qin is inside. I won’t go in.” Jiang Yu whispered and ran away without waiting for Fang Miao to call him.
Fang Miao pulled open the car door and looked at Qin Shen unhappily, “Brother, he’s my friend. Why are you making faces at him? You are making him afraid to come in.”
Qin Shen: ……
Fang Miao sat in the car and muttered, “Before in the hot springs, you saw that he was not feeling well and also took the initiative to send him back home. I thought you finally treated my friend differently. Is it true that last time you went back to the house next to the company and ran into him spending the night there and you were not happy? I asked him to stay there. I told him to stay there. You’re a real piece of work. It’s not like he’s sleeping in your bed. Do you have to give him a look now when you see him?”
…… who said he did not sleep in his bed. Thinking about the clean back of Jiang Yu’s neck, Qin Shen rubbed his brow and asked, “How do you know I gave him a look. He obviously ran away on his own.”
“If you don’t give him a look, why would he run?” Fang Miao glared at him, “Don’t look at him as a simple person. He is sensitive to people’s emotions. He must have sensed that you didn’t like him and ran away.”
He does not like him? Qin Shen was annoyed and wanted to smoke, so he reached out and touched around his body before remembering that he didn’t bring his cigarette, so his hand moved to the lunchbox box, “Do you still want to eat? Why talk so much.”
Then pushed the right lunchbox forward, “This is for him, let your assistant send it over.”
Fang Miao asked Sun Fei Fei to send it to Jiang Yu’s car, Sun Fei Fei returned a moment later and said, “Jiang Yu is not in the car, Little Fang said that Brother Zhuo just called him over.”
“Why did Zhuo Rui ask Jiang Xiao Yu to go over again?” Fang Miao looked out of the car window not far from Zhuo Rui’s minivan and grumbled.
Qin Shen frowned, “Zhuo Rui? Last year’s Golden Dragon Award movie star?”
Fang Miao said: “Yes, he is the main lead of my father’s movie. I always feel that he is a little overzealous towards Xiao Yu, teaching Xiao Yu onset, and always calling Xiao Yu to his car every day during breaks.”
A man reached out and put his hand on Jiang Yu’s head to prevent him from hitting the edge of the car, smiled, and said something to Jiang Yu, who looked back and also said back a few words. Then the man suddenly reached out and put his hand on Jiang Yu the shoulder.
“Shit, he wouldn’t like Jiang Xiao Yu, would he?” Fang Miao’s voice was wary. When he turned his head, he was startled by Qin Shen, “Brother, why do you look so ugly?”
“Nothing.” Qin Shen tightened his face and withdrew his gaze.
Qiao Xin made a lunchbox for Fang Miao and Jiang Yu for the second time, and Qin Shen took the initiative to ask for delivery again and took the lunchbox away without waiting for Qiao Xin’s reaction.
Jiang Yu heard that Fang Miao’s mom was making braised fish pieces this time and because last time Qin Shen appeared, he didn’t get to eat the small yellow fish. He wouldn’t come back this time, right?
Jiang Yu happily ran to Fang Miao’s minivan, pulled open the door, and his smile froze again.
Qin Shen decided to call him first this time, but just he moved his throat, a “swish” sound was heard, the car door closed again.
Qin Shen: ……
