"Since we're all part of the Bao Family by blood, why can't we share in the inheritance when the government has returned the property? Why can't Daddy and Mommy get a part?" Annie, now switching from Z国语 to direct English, said to Jackson.
"Isn't their behavior highly problematic?" After saying this resentfully to Jackson, Annie turned her head to face Xia Chuyi.
"Hey, Miss Xia, I know you understand English. Translate this for me."
"Even though my Daddy and Mommy fled Z country back then, as long as we are part of the Bao Family, carrying the Bao blood, we're entitled to inherit the Bao Family fortune."
"Besides, don't they have no children?"
"According to your Z country's sayings, no sons means no family lineage." Annie said with a sarcastic expression, "I've heard that's a pretty serious matter in your Z country."
"So, my brother and I have returned to prevent the Bao Family lineage from being cut off. Isn't that a good thing?" Annie finished with an arrogant, beneficent look.
Xia Chuyi's whole demeanour became extremely sharp as she fiercely retorted, "What did you say?"
"Damn it!" Just then, Professor Bao, clutching a tea cup, flung it right at Annie, narrowly missing her scalp as it flew past.
"Ah..." Annie screamed, "Fuck, you crazy old man, you're just an unevolved barbarian..."
She cursed continuously in English.
"Hmph!" Professor Bao snorted coldly and said directly in English, "Since I am a crazy old man, a barbarian, would you two civilized people please leave my house!"
"Stop pretending to be insane or dumb; stop pretending you can't understand human speech."
At these words, Annie was suddenly at a standstill, shocked: "You, you understand English too?"
Really, considering Annie and Jackson's intelligence, their parents couldn't have been much brighter, which must have been why they chose to leave back then, only to send their children back now.
Xia Chuyi, seeing Professor Bao's rage, stepped forward to support him, saying, "Professor, don't be angry; it's not worth it for such people."
Meanwhile, Mrs. Gu and Master inside the house were startled by the commotion outside.
"What is going on?" Mrs. Gu, supported by Master, asked Professor Bao.
Professor Bao immediately frowned, worried that his wife might become agitated, stepped forward to support Mrs. Gu and said, "It's nothing important; you and Gu Xiu Fang just go back inside and continue your reunion."
"I can handle this," Professor Bao assured his wife in a steady voice.
Hearing Professor Bao say this, Jackson, realizing that Mrs. Gu was Professor Bao's wife, quickly stepped forward, shouting, "Auntie!"
"I'm Bao Jieson, Bao Jiahong's son!"
"My sister and I have come back from abroad to see Third Uncle and clear up a little misunderstanding!"
"Auntie, please persuade Third Uncle; Annie and I are, after all, the last of the Bao lineage — we are family..."
"Jackson!" Xia Chuyi shouted, interrupting him, "Shut your mouth!"
Xia Chuyi quickly went up to Mrs. Gu and said, "Mrs. Gu, you don't need to mind him."
"Professor, please take Mrs. Gu back to your room to rest," Xia Chuyi told Professor Bao firmly.
Although Mrs. Gu's condition had not manifested for a long time, Xia Chuyi, like Professor Bao, still feared that a shock might trigger her illness again.
