In the dim light of dawn, with a fine drizzle falling, there was a person sitting on the covered corridor in the courtyard, smoking with a grave expression on their face.

Qin Fangtan thought back to what had happened not long ago, and couldn't help but furrow his brow. From the beginning when he came to the Zhou family until now, it was the first time he had seen Zhou Xun cry. No, it was because of him crying...

The three words "I'm sorry" echoed in his ears...

He admits that there was a slight stirring in his heart upon seeing the other party cry, but it was only a flicker. Because he knew that the person who always wore a formulaic smile was a two-faced tiger, and shedding a few tears now was likely motivated by ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Qin Fangtan suddenly found it quite amusing. He stayed up all night, sitting until daybreak, all because he was thinking about Zhou Xun...

Snuffing out his cigarette, Qin Fangtan went over to Zhou Ye's place. He guessed that the other party was still sleeping, so he deliberately knocked on the door forcefully.

Zhou Ye was awakened by a loud knocking sound. Thinking that his older brother needed his help, he immediately jumped out of bed without hesitation. However, when he saw the person outside the door, his face suddenly changed, and he instinctively tried to close the door, but the other person stopped him.

"Why, are you so surprised to see me?"

Upon hearing what the other person said, Zhou Ye's anger surged suddenly and he retorted unkindly, "I don't want to see you at all!"

Whether you want to see me or not is unimportant; what matters is that I have something important to discuss with you, and you have no right to refuse.

"Why should I listen to you? You have so many underlings, yet you insist on seeking me out? To put it plainly, you are deliberately teasing me, wanting to see me make a fool of myself!"

Qin Fangtan gave a disdainful hum and leisurely replied, "Well, you're mistaken. Originally, I was looking for your brother, but unfortunately, he can't make it, so this great job falls on you instead."

Zhou Ye paused for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he angrily opened the door and stared at the person, "What do you mean by what you just said? What happened to my brother, was it you..."

The conversation abruptly halted, and Zhou Ye looked at the open collar and slightly disheveled hair of the other person, instantly understanding in his heart. He shouted out loudly, "Pervert!"

Qin Fangtan naturally could see through the other person's thoughts. With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he deliberately said, "Say whatever you want, I don't mind. I'm quite comfortable, and I believe your older brother feels the same way."

"Damn it!" Zhou Ye cursed, intending to go and look for her older brother, but someone grabbed hold of her.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Qin Fangtan ignored what the other person said and pulled them into the room.

"I told you to let go!"

"Let go!"

Qin Fangtan pushed the person's hand away and stared at them, carefully assessing them from head to toe. His gaze darkened as he said, "With an attitude like yours, if it weren't for your brother helping me vent my anger, I definitely wouldn't spare you."

As soon as the words were spoken, the person who was rubbing their wrist suddenly looked up, their expression becoming extremely strange.

"Why, are you scared?"

'........'

Qin Fangtan patted the youth's inexperienced cheek, smiling warmly as he spoke, "Why don't you talk to people? After reading so many books, what have you actually learned? Just a temperamental attitude?"

Zhouye glanced at the person, feeling annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't explode in anger, so he simply avoided eye contact and refused to look at the person.

Qin Fangtan also lost interest in teasing and casually said, "Tomorrow's banquet, you go for your brother."

"Banquet?" Zhou Ye frowned, looking extremely unwilling. "What kind of banquet?"

Qin Fangtan smiled, a trace of mystery in his smile. "You'll find out tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye's heart tightened and he suddenly became flustered. Could this perverted person be asking him to do something unspeakable?

"Take half an hour to tidy yourself up."

Zhou Ye was taken aback, his brows furrowed tightly. "What do you mean..."

Qin Fangtan curved his lips and said, "Of course, I will take you to learn basic etiquette."

"You want to take me to learn etiquette?" Zhou Ye found it amusing and derisively snorted, "Don't you feel ashamed when you say this?"

"Not really."

Sorry, but I can't generate a translation without the original Chinese text.

Zhou Ye remained silent for a moment, glared at the person, and then turned and walked into the bathroom.

When the two of them left the Qin family, the rain had already stopped, and the sun had peeked out halfway.

When Qin Fangtan got on the car, his phone vibrated a few times. He looked at the screen and saw that there was a new message. He opened the text message, which contained a long paragraph of text.

Qin Fangtan glanced at the content, which essentially expressed Zhou Xun's concern that he might make things difficult for Zhou Ye. Zhou Xun had specially written a long paragraph of compliments.

"Hey, are you going to leave or not?"

Qin Fangtan glanced at the people inside the car, his eyes containing a hint of sarcasm.

Having blood ties really makes a difference...
