Film and Television World Life Record

Qiu Yingying smiled foolishly and said, "Then Guan Guan and I will eat."

He took out two donuts, gave one to Guan Juer and kept one for himself, and happily ate them.

With Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer entering, the elevator became even more crowded. With luggage added in, there was barely enough room to stand, let alone have any space.

Mr. Qu considered the quality of the neighborhood, then looked at the cramped elevator, and thought of the villa he had carefully prepared for his beloved daughter. He sighed and said, "Xiaoxiao, what were you thinking? Look how small this elevator is. It'll be crowded when all these people come up. How can it compare to the villa that Dad prepared for you?"

"You've never experienced hardship growing up, and the conditions in this neighborhood..."

Chapter 121 Family Property

Just as he finished speaking, seeing Li Mu turn his head to look at him, Mr. Qu suddenly stopped, swallowing his complaints about the poor conditions of the neighborhood. They weren't the only family here; aside from the two girls, he still wanted to leave a good impression on Li Mu.

What if Xiaoxiao and him...

Thinking of this, he smiled at Li Mu and said helplessly, "Sigh! My daughter has never suffered since she was a child, so as parents, we are always a little worried and concerned about this and that."

“The conditions in this neighborhood are not bad. Back when we were starting our business, we lived in much worse houses.”

"We, the old couple, are fine with it, but we're worried that Xiaoxiao is used to a good life and might not be able to adapt to living alone after suddenly moving in."

Li Mu wasn't one to stir up trouble, so he nodded and smiled, "That's true. What parent doesn't want their children to have a good life? It's a blessing for Xiaoxiao that you care about her so much."

"However, after all, they are adults now, have their own ideas, and it's not bad to be independent. People always have to grow up, and parents can't protect them forever."

Mother Qu smiled and stared at Li Mu, saying, "You're right, you make a good point. Xiaoxiao is all grown up now, it's time for her to be independent."

“I approve of her living here.”

"However, Xiaoxiao has just returned from abroad and doesn't have much life experience. She will need you neighbors to take care of her on a daily basis."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course, it's only right for neighbors to help each other. I think Xiaoxiao is smart and quick-witted, and I believe she will adapt quickly."

Mrs. Qu immediately smiled broadly: "That's good, Mr. Li. Then we'll trouble you to take good care of Xiaoxiao in the future."

Just as they were talking, the elevator dinged and arrived at the 21st floor. Li Mu smiled, greeted everyone, and stepped out of the elevator with a flourish.

The elevator quickly reached the twenty-second floor.

The group rushed into room 2203. Seeing that there were no outsiders, Qu's mother pulled Qu Xiaoxiao aside and said, "Xiaoxiao, that boy was quite nice. Find out more about him. If that car belongs to him and he doesn't have a girlfriend, you should really make the most of him. Boys like that are hard to find."

Qu Xiaoxiao was speechless, not expecting her mother to care even more than she did.

"Mom, you don't need to tell me these things. I'll find out. You know my style. Once your aunt sets her sights on someone, I guarantee he won't escape my grasp. Don't worry."

When Qu's mother heard Qu Xiaoxiao say this, she finally felt much relieved. Her daughter was quite reliable at times.

When Mr. Qu entered 2203, he first looked around the entire house. He thought that his daughter would be living here in the future, which was far inferior to the villa he had carefully prepared.

She couldn't help but complain again, "Your house is too small, the structure is bad, and the furniture is too simple. It can't compare to the villa that Dad prepared for you."

"Why don't you go live in the villa? Your nanny dad has already prepared everything for you. You've been abroad for so many years, but you still haven't learned to be independent. Can you manage living here by yourself?"

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "Dad, don't worry! Your daughter is all grown up now, how can she not be independent?"

"Besides, I came back to work hard and build a career, not to enjoy a life of luxury. What's the point of living in a villa?"

"Dad, don't worry, I'm doing fine living here."

"Besides, look at the young man next door. His family isn't necessarily worse off than ours, and he lives here just the same. Why can't I?"

Mr. Qu wanted to say, "He's a boy," but then he thought better of it and took it back.

At this moment, Qu's mother chimed in, "That's right, Old Qu, Xiaoxiao is so grown up now, it's time to let her be independent."

“We’re getting old, we can’t follow her around forever. Xiaoxiao will also need to start her own family, find a husband and have children in the future.”

"I think Xiaoxiao's neighbor, the young man named Li Mu, is quite good in every way. Xiaoxiao lives here, it wouldn't be bad to get to know him better, who knows, he might bring you a son-in-law someday!"

Qu's father also had a good impression of Li Mu. Although he didn't think it would be so easy for Xiaoxiao to find a suitable one, he stopped trying to persuade her after hearing this.

"My main concern is that I don't want Xiaoxiao to suffer. Since Xiaoxiao is willing, I won't say anything more and will listen to our precious daughter."

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "Dad, you're so kind! But in my opinion, one should enjoy life to the fullest. I don't want to be a rich second-generation who just lives off you buying cars and villas. Mom and Dad, just you wait and see, I, Qu Xiaoxiao, haven't been wasting my years abroad."

Qu Xiaoxiao said these things not only to establish her independent image in front of her father, but also to reflect on her spendthrift brother, Qu Lianjie. During this time, she learned more about her brother; her father had not only bought him luxury cars and villas, but he had also squandered a very profitable company.

Moreover, instead of reflecting on their mistakes, they need the head office to allocate funds to make up for the losses.

He didn't know how his father could have chosen such a spendthrift older brother and even made him a branch manager. If the company really fell into his hands in the future, it would be ruined sooner or later.

However, with a spendthrift brother as a contrast, she needs to perform even better. Not only must she be independent, not spend the family's money, and not ask for their luxury cars and villas, but she must also work hard to show her father who is the right successor.

What else could Mr. Qu say? He slapped his thigh and said, "Good, as expected of my precious daughter, she has ambition and the style of your old man back then."

Qu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Of course, look who your daughter is."

Qu Fuqu burst into laughter.

Afterwards, Mr. and Mrs. Qu gave some more detailed instructions, and only left after being persuaded by Qu Xiaoxiao.

Qu Xiaoxiao is finally relieved and can arrange her own affairs.

Before returning to China, she had already made plans with her friends there to host a party on her first night in her new house. They hadn't seen each other for several years and needed to reconnect and rekindle their friendships. And with the help of these friends, she wouldn't be able to avoid competing with Qu Lianjie for the family fortune.

However, she still had one more thing to do: visit her neighbors. Aside from the two girls her age upstairs, she definitely needed to get to know the tall, handsome young man downstairs.

In Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes, there are only three types of young men: handsome guys, scumbags, and buddies.

If a person is handsome and has excellent qualities, even if he is a womanizer, he is still a handsome guy; if a person is ugly, then he is no different from a scumbag, and if he is also a womanizer, then he is a super scumbag.

If it's an acquaintance or friend who isn't handsome and doesn't understand her aesthetic, then they can only be buddies, like Yao Bin, her biggest simp.

Qu Xiaoxiao first grabbed a box of chocolates and visited the two girls on the same floor. Then she returned to her room, looked in the mirror, and changed into a ladylike knitted dress.

However, her personality is too eccentric and mischievous, so she can't pull off a ladylike look at all.

But he did have a more refined and gentle demeanor.

Qu Xiaoxiao struck a pose in front of the mirror, smiled broadly, then found a box of chocolates and headed downstairs.

Chapter 122 The Fairy Qu's Visit

Qu Xiaoxiao went downstairs to Li Mu's door, straightened her clothes, and then revealed a confident and charming smile.

He knocked on the door and said, "Brother Li Mu, I've come to visit you."

Li Mu, who was reading a book on a chair on the balcony, smiled helplessly. Qu Xiaoxiao had her eye on him. He slowly walked over in his slippers and opened the door.

Qu Xiaoxiao put her hands behind her back, her face full of charming and mischievous beauty: "Brother Li Mu, won't you let me come in and sit down?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Please come in, beautiful Xiaoxiao."

Qu Xiaoxiao walked into the room with an air of familiarity, looked around, and said, "Little brother, I thought you were keeping a mistress at home!"

Li Mu said, "That's not necessarily true!"

Qu Xiaoxiao blinked: "Are there any beautiful women in the room?"

Li Mu said, "Yes! There's one right here."

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled smugly: "Brother Li Mu, you have excellent taste."

Then he took out his hand from behind his back and said, "Hey bro, this is some chocolate I brought back from abroad. Here, have a taste."

Li Mu didn't stand on ceremony: "Thank you, beautiful Xiaoxiao, then I'll accept it."

After chatting for a bit longer, Qu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Brother Li Mu, you drive such a nice car, why do you live here?"

Li Mu smiled and asked, "Where do you think I should live?"

Qu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "A villa or a large apartment might be more suitable for you."

Li Mu retorted, "And you! Your dad prepared a villa for you, so why are you living here!"

Qu Xiaoxiao explained, "I just came back from abroad and I want to make a good impression on my parents so that I can take over the family business in the future."

"Hey buddy, what about you! Living here, are you doing this on purpose to impress your family too?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Our situations are different. I'm free and independent, I don't need to show myself to others, and no one cares about me."

"I bought the house a while ago, lived there for three or four years, got used to it, and was too lazy to move."

Qu Xiaoxiao immediately adopted an admiring expression: "Brother Li Mu, you are so amazing! I thought you were a rich second generation like me, but I didn't expect you to have started from scratch and worked hard on your own. I admire people like you the most, Brother Li Mu."

She took out her phone and said, "Brother Li Mu, let's add each other as friends and exchange numbers. I might have a lot of questions to ask you in the future."

Li Mu nodded. As one of the five beauties of the Joyful World, Qu Xiaoxiao would inevitably have to deal with her in the future. Besides, the task of cracking down on the sycophant Yao Bin would be placed on her.

He doesn't want to do anything big in this world, like attacking this company or bankrupting that company.

I just wanted to make a fortune and complete my mission on the side.

So, he took out his phone, added Qu Xiaoxiao as a WeChat friend, and exchanged phone numbers.

Qu Xiaoxiao spoke again, "Brother Li Mu, I just returned to the country today and moved into a new house. I'm having a party with some friends tonight. You'd like to come too!"

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, declining, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Xiaoxiao, but no need. I don't really like these kinds of occasions."

Qu Xiaoxiao wrinkled her nose playfully, looking troubled: "But, Brother Li Mu, I want to introduce you to many people! Today's guests are all rich second-generation heirs in the industry. Knowing more people will definitely help your career."

"By the way, brother, what industry do you work in? I'll introduce you to some connections."

Li Mu said, "No need. I work in the technology industry, targeting the national market. These local connections are not very useful for the company's development."
