Lai Wei’s gaze was cold, and Miss BoBo also sensed the tension between the two. She slapped her nephew on the back, "Did you do something bad to make her so upset with you? You troublesome child, you deserve not to find a wife in this lifetime."
Lai Wei didn’t expect Hai En’s aunt to be so supportive, scolding Hai En without holding back.
Hai En was defenseless, or rather, unable to defend himself.
After a few heavy hits, Hai En didn’t dare to say a word. Miss BoBo leaned over to Lai Wei with a smile, "Weiwei, don’t worry, I’ve vented your anger for you. Don’t give up on him; he looks quite pitiful, right?"
Hai En: "...Aunt, what nonsense are you talking, I’m not..."
"You better shut up, I don’t want to hear a single word from you, you’re really disappointing me."
What did he do wrong to deserve such prejudice?
Lai Wei felt awkward and remained silent on the side, thinking it’s better to say nothing at all to avoid more mistakes.
Hai En’s aunt leaned closer to her again, glancing inside the store from time to time, "Weiwei, tell me, does Little Jian Dan really have nothing to do with the people inside?"
Lai Wei nodded, "Miss BoBo, Little Jian Dan’s family matters, I’m not at liberty to say much. If Jian Dan comes out later and is willing to talk, I have no objections."
Hai En’s aunt also felt that this seemed inappropriate, nodding, "I understand, let’s wait for Jian Dan to come out then."
Even though Lai Wei looked calm, she was far from reassured, wanting to rush inside several times, but forced herself to resist the impulse.
Inside the store, Jian Dan had Jian Fang seated, and the two sat face to face. Jian Dan stared at Jian Fang for a while, then smiled, "Aunt, I still call you aunt, not because I acknowledge you as my relative, but because I think, this is the kindness that people should generally show to their elders.
But to be blunt, you approaching me is inappropriate. I did sell my dad’s house and got the money, but aunt, your family isn’t short of such a small amount of money, right? You asking me for one hundred thousand yuan, are you really in need of this hundred thousand?"
Jian Fang rolled her eyes at Jian Dan, "Even if I’m not short of money, so what if I ask you for one hundred thousand yuan?
Isn’t it a natural obligation to give money to elders?
Besides, me asking you for money is considering you, when you took so much money initially, did we say a word?"
Jian Dan chuckled, "Didn’t say a word? When my Uncle Bo Qin was here, you didn’t dare to say anything, right? In all these years, whenever I’ve come over, my Uncle Bo Qin has been with me, you never came to bother us, let alone ask for money, picking the soft fruit to squeeze is your intent, do you think I don’t understand?"
Jian Fang, being exposed, didn’t show the slightest embarrassment, she said matter-of-factly, "Give the money, if you don’t hand over the money, I’ll put you on tomorrow’s headlines, then do you think it’ll be you or your uncle who’s embarrassed?"
"Aunt, are you threatening me?"
"What threat? A problem that can be solved by money, how can that be called a threat?" Jian Fang spoke persuasively, with a smug look that was disgusting, "Jian Dan, as your aunt, I’m just saying, they raised you, spending money to avoid trouble, not difficult nor complicated, is it? Do you have to make him look bad with you?"
Jian Dan was trembling with anger, the environment she grew up in over the years was meticulously filtered by Bo Qin, she had never encountered or dealt with such messy things, not because she couldn’t out-argue Jian Fang, but because Jian Fang was a rogue, no matter what she said, Jian Fang wouldn’t have a proper conversation with her.
Jian Fang had just one attitude, hand over the money.
If she couldn’t take a penny from her today, she wouldn’t let it go.
Jian Dan, infuriated, her face turned somber, she resembled Jian Cheng, looking intimidating when composed, Jian Cheng used to look as well when he dealt with his siblings.
Because they all teamed up with their parents, leeching off him.
So many years have passed, Jian Cheng has also been dead for many years, at the sight of Jian Dan’s expression , it was as if confronting Jian Cheng, Jian Fang felt a tiny flash of weakness in her heart, but then she thought of the recent significant losses her family had incurred, and her dwindling pocket money.
She thought, getting the one hundred thousand now wasn’t bad, anyway, tomorrow’s big brother and sister-in-law would come to trouble Jian Dan, by then, splitting the money, she would end up with more than one hundred thousand.
