Chapter 450: Vicious Mother and Son
Special Assistant Chen came up to Fu Sihan and said awkwardly, "President, why did you say that your sister has a crush on me? You deliberately want Annie to doubt me..." Chen Xuan paused, and the embarrassment on his face was gradually replaced by confusion and a hint of dissatisfaction. "You knew that Annie and I had just settled down, and you did this to me. Fu Sihan, I gave you a job, but I didn't sell it to you. If you make my Annie angry and drive away, I will never let you go."
Fu Sihan leaned back in his office chair, the smile on his face gradually fading, replaced by a serious expression. He was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to the window. With his back to Chen Xuan, he said, "Chen Xuan, have you forgotten Annie's jealous look? I just want to make your relationship more stable, okay? If she's jealous, it means she really loves you."
Fu Sihan then continued, "Besides, you just met her. Does she know your family background? I support you loving her, but do you have a house and a car? Don't you give all your money to your gambling brother and vampire mother?"
Chen Xuan stiffened upon hearing these words, a complex wave of emotions welling up within him: anger, helplessness, and the pain of having his wounds exposed. He clenched his fists and tried to remain calm. "Mr. Fu, my family situation is my private matter, but it doesn't affect my feelings for Annie, nor does it affect my work. I admit I don't have a house or a car right now, but I will work hard to make Annie happy."
Fu Sihan turned around and looked straight at Chen Xuan. "Work hard? How easy is that? Your brother's gambling debts are like a bottomless pit, and your mother keeps asking for more. How can you work hard? Love can't be eaten. You have to face the reality of the problem."
At this moment, Chen Xuan's phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was his mother calling. Chen Xuan's face instantly became even uglier. After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the answer button.
"Xuan'er, your brother is in trouble again. The debt collectors said that if he doesn't pay the money today, they will break his legs! You should think of a way quickly and transfer some money home!" The mother's anxious and commanding voice came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Xuan took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady: "Mom, how can I have so much money? I've helped him pay off his debts so many times. Can't he just stop gambling and live a good life?"
"What are you talking about! He is your brother. If you don't help him, who will? You work in a big company and you earn a lot of money every month. Don't be so heartless!" The mother's voice became sharp.
Chen Xuan felt his temples throbbing. He glanced at Fu Sihan, who frowned slightly, his eyes filled with sympathy and a hint of "I told you so." Chen Xuan covered the phone and said to Fu Sihan, "Mr. Fu, I'm so sorry, I need to take care of some family matters first." Fu Sihan nodded slightly.
Chen Xuan walked out of the office and came to the end of the corridor. He lowered his voice but could not hide his anger: "Mom, I'm working hard and fighting for my own future. Can't you understand me? I haven't gotten married yet? I haven't bought a house yet! I can't live my life without buying a house or getting married just because of Chen Hao!
"How can you be so selfish, child!" The mother's voice became increasingly sharp, with her usual forceful tone. "He's your own brother, and now his legs are about to be broken, and you still have the mind to say these things? If you don't save him, don't come back to this house!"
After hearing this, Chen Xuan angrily scolded: "Since he can't change his gambling habit, I don't mind if he gets his legs broken by gangsters. I'm telling you, don't call me if there's nothing wrong. Let's just break up! I can't afford your love."
With that, Chen Xuan hung up the phone, his hands trembling slightly with anger and excitement. He leaned against the wall, feeling a wave of exhaustion and sadness. For so long, his family had been like a heavy mountain, weighing him down, making him breathless. Now, in a rage, he finally shouted out the words he had been holding back.
When Assistant Chen's mother saw that the call was hung up, she angrily threw the phone on the sofa and shouted, "This unfilial son! His brother is about to die, and he still doesn't care. Why did I give birth to such a heartless thing!" She paced back and forth in the living room, her brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and kept muttering about Chen Xuan's faults.
At this moment, Chen Xuan's younger brother, Chen Hao, emerged from his room, his hair disheveled and his eyes evasive. Hearing his mother's yelling, he felt a pang of fear. "Mom, don't be angry. Maybe my brother is really having trouble," Chen Hao whispered.
When Chen's mother heard this, she jumped up and said, "Come on, I'll go to Fu's Group with you. I don't believe his boss will tolerate him. I'll go and make a scene and bring him down. Then you can go to work at Fu's, right?"
Chen Hao's eyes widened and he said excitedly, "Mom, is this true? Can I really replace my brother and go to work at Fu's? My brother used to give us 50,000 yuan a month. If he gave us this money, wouldn't we be rich?"
Mother Chen put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "That's right. I heard his salary is 100,000 yuan a month, but he only gave us 50,000 yuan, which is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth. I heard that the boss is very good to his employees. A friend of mine heard that even the cleaners of the Fu Group were given an apartment by the boss. Don't worry, Mom will definitely give it to you.
After hearing this, Chen Hao said excitedly, "Mom, I'll go with you to find that Chen Xuan. We must get the job back. This job was originally mine, but I was crazy at the time and turned it down, letting that guy take it." After they discussed it together, they took a taxi to the Fu Group.
After they arrived at the Fu Group, the front desk staff greeted them warmly with a standard professional smile on their faces. They politely asked, "Hello, may I ask what can I do for you two? Are you here to handle business or to see someone?" Chen's mother directly pushed the receptionist's hand aside and shouted, "Stop being so polite. Call your Special Assistant Chen over here and tell him that his mother and brother are here.
Xiao Su, the front desk staff member, was startled by this sudden rude behavior, her heart pounding. She suppressed her grievance and uneasiness, quickly walked to the corner, and hurriedly called Assistant Chen.
Special Assistant Chen was flirting with Annie, and the office was filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Chen Xuan, a gentle smile on his face, was about to hand Annie a cup of freshly brewed coffee when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket. He frowned slightly and took out his phone. It was Xiao Su, the receptionist, calling. A hint of doubt welled up in Chen Xuan's heart. Normally, Xiao Su wouldn't call him in the office rashly. Could it be some urgent matter?
Chen Xuan glanced at Annie apologetically and answered the call. "Xiao Su, what's going on?" Xiao Su's voice on the other end was clearly filled with anxiety and nervousness. "Special Assistant Chen, something bad has happened! There's an aunt and a man making a scene in the lobby. They want to see you, and their attitude is really bad. They claim to be your mother and brother, and they're making a fuss and insisting on seeing you."
After hearing this, Chen Xuan took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and said to Xiao Su: "Xiao Su, don't panic, I'll come down and deal with it right away." Chen Xuan hung up the phone after saying this.
