Chapter 2067: Chapter 590: The Conspiracy Exposed
When Qin Mu came downstairs, she was already dressed appropriately. On the staircase, she could hear two former clients she wasn’t very familiar with chatting warmly with her mother-in-law. Of course, her mother-in-law wasn’t saying much; it was mainly them giving compliments.
"This house of ours has been here for so many years. Though it’s one of a kind in Rongcheng, it’s ultimately outdated."
Feng Fanghua listened to their pleasantries and felt a bit annoyed. Although her house is one of the most expensive in Rongcheng, hearing too much flattery made it sound insincere. So she sipped her tea with an air of sophistication and returned a few indifferent words.
"Mom!"
Qin Mu walked over from upstairs, and Feng Fanghua glanced at her, finally setting down her teacup: "Since you’re down, I won’t disturb your business discussion!"
Qin Mu nodded, not saying much in front of Feng Fanghua. As Feng Fanghua was about to leave, she thought about quickly getting them out.
"It’s fine as long as Mrs. Mu is here."
The lady could tell Qin Mu was respectful of Feng Fanghua, so she quickly and kindly asked her to stay.
Feng Fanghua looked up, feeling somewhat pleased to see someone wanting her to stay: "Isn’t this inappropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate about it? We’re all family."
The woman said again.
All family?
Qin Mu silently refuted that in her heart but maintained the proper demeanor on her face.
"I believe Chen Xiaomei has explained to you both very clearly. Why did you still come to our house?"
Qin Mu looked at the two people sitting tensely, yet putting on airs, and asked.
The two people had just picked up their tea cups, and upon hearing her question, instinctively looked up again, not even able to drink their tea.
"We really had no other choice. We heard the young lady hasn’t been to the studio for quite a while now, and we were eager to express our sincerity to collaborate with her, so we came to your home. We truly apologize for disturbing you."
Truly apologize?
Qin Mu couldn’t see a single hint of apology on that woman’s face or in her eyes.
"We sincerely wish to continue working with the young lady, please give us this chance."
The middle-aged man also sincerely expressed his feelings again.
Feng Fanghua sat next to Qin Mu, quietly drinking tea, pondering the reason for their visit and suddenly realizing she might have caused trouble for Qin Mu.
And these two, calling Qin Mu ’young lady’ at every turn, what does that mean?
"A chance? We originally had a cooperative relationship, but you two went to the studio shortly after my father passed away, saying you wanted to terminate the contract no matter what. Before signing, I clearly stated that we would never have the opportunity to work together again. What did you both say back then? The opportunity had passed! Have you both forgotten?"
Qin Mu didn’t hold back for them, only because of Feng Fanghua’s presence she was more tactful than at the studio, retaining a bit of subtlety.
"Madam, consider us blind and give us one more chance. We promise never to do such a thing again."
The lady said again.
Qin Mu sighed helplessly: "Please go back, we won’t have a chance to cooperate again. Please don’t come to my home to disturb my family in the future."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, looking slightly panicked, and subconsciously turned to Feng Fanghua again.
"Ma’am, you see... we are sincerely hoping to work with the young lady."
"If you sincerely wanted to work with her, you wouldn’t call her ’young lady’ every time. Business is business. She is now the boss of JY."
Feng Fanghua gave a cold laugh, regretting letting them in and naturally feeling the need to speak on her daughter-in-law’s behalf.
The two felt a chill in their hearts after hearing this. When Feng Fanghua talked to them, it wasn’t like she was with family, where she could shout, but she didn’t show an ounce of leniency.
Qin Mu felt a bit better hearing Feng Fanghua’s words, fearing Fanghua might not understand her; now it seemed she worried for nothing.
"Sister Zhang, see these two out."
Feng Fanghua politely instructed the housekeeper.
At this point, the two still hadn’t had a taste of the tea they held.
Qin Mu then turned to look at Feng Fanghua. As Feng Fanghua got up and deliberately spoke loudly while walking away: "What kind of people are these, daring to step into our house. Clean the living room later and throw away the tea sets those disreputable people used."
Qin Mu sat silently on the sofa, just quietly listening to Feng Fanghua’s words.
The two sitting opposite her hardly dared to breathe at this moment. Earlier at the door, it was Feng Fanghua who invited them in, and now she suddenly spoke of them so disparagingly.
