Their sibling relationship wasn’t very strong, given the expansive age gap.
At the dining table, as Sun Hao desired to eat shrimp, Wang Daizhen began peeling a few for him.
Discontented with the slow peeling process, he complained: “Mom, bring the shrimp over, I’ll peel them myself.”
Jian Yufei also loved shrimp, so Wang Daizhen had specifically made a large plate of spicy shrimp and placed it in front of her.
Hearing Sun Hao’s words, she jovially chided him, “Extend your chopsticks a little longer, and you’ll be able to reach them.”
“No, put it in front of me. It will be easier for me to peel,” Sun Hao replied, his brow furrowed in disagreement.
Sun Zhaohui told his wife, “Place it in front of him.
Spoiling her son, Wang Daizhen moved the shrimp plate from Jian Yufei’s side and placed it in front of Sun Hao. He was still not satisfied and drew the whole plate in front of him, monopolizing it.
Jian Yufei sat across from Sun Hao. Their family used a round table for dining.
With the plate in front of him, unless Jian Yufei stood up, she wouldn’t be able to reach the snap.
Despite loving shrimp, Jian Yufei didn’t seem to be disturbed by the child’s behavior.
However, Wang Daizhen chuckled and said, “What a surprise! He suddenly likes shrimp. Next time, I will make more for you to your heart’s content.”
Sun Hao laughingly replied, “Mom, keep it just like today’s, with lots of chillies and Szechuan peppers. The dish is so flavoursome!”
“Alright, I understand,” she replied.
Seeing her mother’s indulgent smile towards her younger brother, a tinge of melancholy clouded Jian Yufei’s eyes.
Although she was her mother’s favorite, her mother’s eyes seemed to show that she loved her mixed-race brother the most.
After the meal, Wang Daizhen asked Sun Zhaohui to take Jian Yufei to see the hotel surroundings.
Sun Zhaohui also intended to persuade her to return and speak to Ruan Tianling, to help the hotel cooperate with the travel company.
So, he readily agreed to accompany her to see the hotel.
Visiting them today though, Jian Yufei hadn’t come to observe the hotel but to remind them not to get involved in any illegal activities.
After getting off the car and entering the hotel, she asked Sun Zhaohui, “Uncle, do your other uncles usually work at the hotel?”
“They don’t all come unless needed, at this time, probably only your second and third uncles are around. Let’s look around first, and then you can meet them.”
After touring the reasonably clean hotel, Sun Zhaohui took her to meet his two cousins.
Jian Yufei greeted them and naturally complimented, “Uncles, your hotel is quite admirable, and if managed well, it can definitely turn a profit.”
“If we could cooperate with a travel company, the hotel could generate even greater profits,” said the second uncle with a timely smile.
Jian Yufei smiled but did not reply, then said, “When it comes to running a hotel, uncles, I can’t really provide much advice.
However, I have seen online cases where people under the guise of company names would long-term rent out rooms, supposedly for their employees’ accommodation.
Actually, they were not company employee dormitories at all but illegal dealings hidden under the guise of long-term rentals at the hotel.
Uncles must be wary. In the case of companies looking to rent rooms long-term, proceed with caution.
Once such matters are exposed, it would severely taint the hotel’s reputation, preventing its future expansion.”
“Hmm, that’s good advice. We will be cautious,” agreed the second uncle, nodding in approval. Even her stepfather and third uncle seemed unphased.
However, having said so, Jian Yufei couldn’t help but wonder in her heart.. Could it be they hadn’t begun such dealings yet?
