　　Ye Qiu pushed the door and went in, and saw two strange women sitting on the sofa.
　　One was about fifty years old, wearing a cheongsam, with heavy makeup, wearing gold and silver, and a imperial green jade pendant hanging around her neck, looking graceful and luxurious.
　　The other woman, in her early thirties, was wearing a long Chanel dress, with a Hermès bag beside her. The diamond ring on her hand was at least one carat and very shiny.
　　He instantly realized that these two women had extraordinary family backgrounds.
　　“When did mother get to know such friends? Why have I never seen them before?”
　　Ye Qiu felt a little strange.
　　He took another glance. Qian Jinglan was sitting on a chair beside the table, looking a little nervous.
　　“Mom, I’m back.” Ye Qiu shouted.
　　A flash of surprise crossed Qian Jinglan’s eyebrows, and she quickly stood up and said, “Isn’t today a working day? Qiu’er, why didn’t you go to work?”
　　She didn’t know about Ye Qiu’s trip to Dalong Mountain yet.
　　“I asked for leave.” Ye Qiu said with a smile.
　　“What are you holding in your hand？” Qian Jinglan asked curiously when she saw the wooden box in Ye Qiu’s hand.
　　“I bought something.” Ye Qiu didn’t say that the Qiankun Cauldron was in the wooden box.
　　“Jinglan, this is your son, right？” At this time, the beautiful woman in a cheongsam sitting on the sofa asked.
　　“Qiu’er, come here quickly. I’ll introduce you.” Qian Jinglan pulled Ye Qiu’s hand and walked up to the beautiful woman in a cheongsam and said, “Qiu’er, this is Cao Chunmei, your eldest aunt.”
　　“Eldest aunt？” Ye Qiu was stunned.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s confusion, the beautiful woman in a cheongsam smiled and said, “I’m from your mother’s.”
　　People from the Qian family in Suzhou and Hangzhou？
　　Ye Qiu’s expression turned a bit colder.
“Qiu’er, quickly call auntie.” Qian Jinglan said.
Ye Qiu was a bit reluctant, but out of deference to his mother’s face, he still called in a lukewarm manner: “auntie.”
　　The woman in the cheongsam immediately beamed with joy and said： “Jinglan, your son is really a handsome young man！ Back then, when you brought him back, he was still a baby. I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, he has grown so big. How time flies！”
　　“Yes, the years are unforgiving. I’m almost an old woman.” Qian Jinglan sighed.
　　She was a few years younger than Cao Chunmei, but the hard life of more than twenty years had added a lot of wrinkles to her face and some of her hair had turned white. In contrast, Cao Chunmei looked much younger than her.
　　Cao Chunmei giggled and said： “Jinglan, look at what you said. I’m older than you. If you’re an old woman, then wouldn’t I be an old monster？”
“Sister in-law is joking.” Qian Jinglan then pointed to the woman in her early thirties and introduced her to Ye Qiu: “Qiu’er, this is Qian Rong, your cousin, the eldest daughter of your aunt.”
“Hello, cousin.” Ye Qiu called out indifferently.
　　Qian Rong looked at Ye Qiu with a haughty expression and asked： “Your name is Ye Qiu, right？”
　　“Yes, my name is Ye Qiu.” When Ye Qiu spoke, he placed the wooden box on the ground beside him.
　　Qian Rong added, “I heard from your mother that you are a doctor now？”
　　”Yes, I am a doctor.”
Such a young doctor, you should not be doing well, right? Are you an intern or just regularized?
When Qian Rong said this, Ye Qiu’s eyebrows raised, but he didn’t get angry. Instead, he said neither humble nor pushy, “Just became a regular employee not long ago.”
　　”I guessed so. Like my friends, they are all top students from Harvard and Yale. The worst one graduated from the medical department of Tsinghua University. As soon as they come out, they are attending physicians, and all major hospitals are scrambling to get them…”
　　Qian Rong’s words were full of a sense of superiority.
　　Ye Qiu didn’t have a good impression of the Qian family in the first place. Seeing Qian Rong like this, he was very angry in his heart. Just as he was about to flare up, he saw Qian Jinglan shaking her head slightly at him.
　　Ye Qiu had to hold back.
　　Qian Rong continued, “Now the global economy is in a slump, and the competition pressure is great. I read a report some time ago that said there are 600 million people in China, and the per capita income is less than 1,000. Tens of millions of people are unemployed, and millions of elite college students can’t find jobs.”
　　”Ye Qiu, how did you get into the hospital？”
　　”Did you give a lot of money to the leaders of the hospital？”
　　If it weren’t for Qian Jinglan being here, Ye Qiu would have directly slapped Qian Rong in the face and said a word ‘get out’.
　　But in front of Qian Jinglan, he couldn’t do it easily. After all, these were his mother’s relatives.
　　Ye Qiu held back his anger and said, “I didn’t give money. I got into the hospital by my own ability.”
　　Pfft——
　　Qian Rong burst out laughing, her expression full of contempt： “Ability？ You haven’t even grown your hair yet, what ability could you have？”
　　Ye Qiu looked at Qian Rong, his face sank, and said： “You came here from Suhang just to mock me？ If that’s the case, then please leave, our family doesn’t welcome you.”
　　Qian Rong snorted coldly： “Do you think I want to come? If it weren’t for…”
　　”Rong’er！”
　　Cao Chunmei shouted sternly, interrupting Qian Rong’s words, and then smiled at Ye Qiu and said： “I’m sorry, Rong’er is straightforward, don’t mind.”
　　Straightforward？
　　Ye Qiu sneered in his heart, this is clearly a brainless person, okay！
　　Cao Chunmei seemed to see Ye Qiu’s displeasure and scolded Qian Rong： “I don’t care what you are like in front of outsiders, but in front of your family, you have to know your measure. Hurry up and apologize to your cousin.”
　　Qian Rong was reluctant： “Mom, I…”
　　”Apologize！”
　　Cao Chunmei scolded with a straight face.
　　Ye Qiu glanced at Cao Chunmei and thought to himself that this woman was much smarter than her daughter and quite scheming.
　　As soon as she said this, even if Qian Rong didn’t apologize to him, his mother would definitely step in.
　　Sure enough, I only heard Qian Jinglan say： “Forget it, sister-in-law, I believe Rong’er didn’t mean it either.”
　　”I’ll deal with you when we get back.” Cao Chunmei glared at Qian Rong and then said, “Jinglan, over the years, it’s not easy to raise your son alone, is it？”
“Although we are far away in Suzhou and Hangzhou, your eldest brother often says you Several times he wanted to come to Jiangzhou to see you, but the old man… Sigh!
　　Cao Chunmei let out a long sigh and then continued, “Jinglan, you’ve suffered all these years！”
　　When Qian Jinglan heard this sentence, her heart felt sour and she almost shed tears.
For more than twenty years, it was the first time she heard the care from her parents’ home.
　　Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.
　　For more than twenty years, the Qian family didn’t care about the life and death of their mother and son, but today Cao Chunmei and her daughter suddenly came to the house. This move is too abnormal.
　　As the saying goes, if something is abnormal, there must be a demon.
　　What could their purpose be？
　　Ye Qiu looked at Cao Chunmei and her daughter and directly asked, “Auntie, to be frank, why did you come here today？”
　　Cao Chunmei smiled and said, “It’s been more than twenty years since I saw Jinglan. I miss her in my heart, so I came here especially to see her.”
　　I believe you are a ghost！
　　Ye Qiu sneered in his heart and then said, “Auntie, the thing is, I have an urgent matter and need to take my mother out for a while. I’m afraid I can’t accompany you.”
　　Cao Chunmei slightly frowned, and then smiled and said, “In that case, then Rong’er and I will go back to the hotel first and come back in the evening…”
　　Before Cao Chunmei could finish speaking, Qian Rong impatiently said, “Mom, why are you still talking nonsense with them？”
　　”After finishing the business, I still have to go back and have a party with my friends.”
　　Qian Rong took out a document from her Hermes bag, threw it on the table, and said arrogantly to Qian Jinglan：
　　”Sign it！”
