Chen nan opened the door. There was an unexpected person inside his room.
"Father." Chen nan looked down and greeted carefully.
Chen Yuan treated Chen nan very well, but Chen nan was always very intimidated by Chen Yuan. So he was not very close to this father of his. He was always being extra careful every time he talked to his father.
Chen Yuan turned back and looked at Chen nan, and asked, "I heard that you have fired Qing rui?"
Chen nan nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Didn't you always like him?" Chen Yuan asked.
Chen nan looked up and said cautiously, "He is such a coward. Every time I fight with others, he stays far away to watch. He does not help at all. Father, if you like Qing rui, I can always hire him back."
"No need. He is a betrayer, not a keeper." Chen Yuan said codly.
Chen nan didn't know that what Qing rui did. But Chen Yuan did.
Chen Yuan had put up with Qing rui for a long time because of Chen nan. But since Chen nan was very close to Qing rui, Chen Yuan did not do anything to Qing rui because he was worried that his son might keep further away from him if he did so, and he was also worried that there would be more servants like Qing rui filled in.
Right after Mu Chen kicked Qing rui out, Chen Yuan had broken Qing rui legs.
Chen nan nodded and said, "You are right."
Chen Yuan said as he looked at Chen nan, "I heard that you are chasing someone named Yu ming recently."
Chen nan smiled awkwardly and said, "There are too many people chasing Yu ming. I have already given up on him."
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "I am glad that you give up. You are too young to be getting yourself involved in complicated romantic relationships. Besides, you already have an engagement with someone else."
A dim light flashed in Chen nan's eyes. The original Chen nan's fiancé was a man. That man was extremely ugly. Chen nan was shocked and fainted when he first saw that man for the first time.
"Father, who is the person I am engaged to?" Chen nan asked.
"He is a ger, named Fang Yue." Chen Yuan said.
Mu Chen eyes squinted. There were three genders of people in this world: men, women, and ger. Ger was a type of man. Yu ming was also a ger.
"Father, what is Fang Yue like? How did Fang Yue and I get engaged?" Chen nan asked.
Chen Yuan said, " Fang Yue's grandfather and your grandfather are good friends. They arranged the engagement for you guys since you were young. Over the years, as Fang Yue's grandfather passed away, the Fang family fell apart and live a less glorious life than before."
Chen nan said with his head down, "Is that so?" In the original story, there was no much attention of Fang Yue. Since Fang Yue was his fiancée, it was necessary to investigate him.
"Father, do you know how Fang Yue is doing?" Chen nan asked.
"Fang Yue's grandfather, Fang Ye, has a son, Fang Xui. Fang Xui has only one legit wife and a dozen concubines. Worse than that, he favors concubines over his wife because he is a pushover. Although Fang Yue is the first-born of Fang Xui's legit wife, given that his birth mother died young, he is living a very hard life in the family. But I heard that Fang Yue is very talented. He is already at level 2 qi condensing." Chen Yuan said.
Chen nan nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see." Fang Yue was at the same age as Chen nan. Chen nan could get access to a lot of resources. But he was a lazy learner. Therefore, he was only at the seventh 7 level of meridian awakening.
The purpose of maintaining an in-law relationship between the Chen family and the Fang family was to achieve a win-win situation. Now, as Fang ye passed away, Ye Xui wasn't strong enough to keep the family property growing. And many of the family properties were taken away. Fang Yue, who was not favored by his father, was more isolated in the family as the family declined.
"I heard that Fang Yue will come here in the near future. If you really don't like him, we will cancel the engagement. It is totally up to you." Chen Yuan said.
Chen nan nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Yuan was indeed a father who loved his son. Chen nan's grandfather Chen Li had a good hope on Fang Yue. If Chen nan really canceled the engagement, Chen Li would have a problem with Chen Yuan. Although Chen Li had passed the family affairs down to Chen Yuan, Mu Ke still had a big influence in the family.
