Mother waved her hand and instructed, "Go, let the finance department triple Yu Fang's bonus." 0
 
"This little girl is quite clever; she handles things efficiently." 0
 
"Uncle's family has been arranged to stay at the guesthouse. I wonder what tricks they will come up with this time." 0
 
As she spoke, Mother glanced at Chen Zhiwen, who was sitting on the sofa. 0
 
"Honey, have you thought about how to deal with them?" 0
 
My father sat silently on the sofa, his head lowered. 0
 
After finishing a cigarette, he remained silent for a long time. 0
 
"Let's give him another chance." 0
 
"Consider it my last act of indulgence as Second Uncle." 0
 
Mother sighed, "Honey, they have already become greedy." 0
 
"No matter how much you admonish them, they lack any intention to repent." 0
 
"If we let them in again this time, who knows what words might hurt you." 0
 
My father waved his hand and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray. 0
 
"Sigh..." 0
 
"After all, he is my nephew." 0
 
"We are connected by blood; it shouldn't come to that." 0
 
He picked up the lighter from the table and toyed with it in his hands. 0
 
"Let this be my last act of leniency as Second Uncle." 0
 
That evening, Uncle's family was welcomed in a large private room for a gathering. 0
 
Having been starved earlier this year, Uncle dared not bring up the foolish request for his daughter and sister to leave the table again. 0
 
However, Aunt still couldn't help but feel angry while sitting in the private room. 0
 
 
" Zhiwen, didn't we agree that when we came over, you would hand over the family assets to Da Zhuang?" 0
 
"Now that we're having this welcoming dinner, you should also arrange a place for us to stay, right?" 0
 
She twirled the beads in her hand quickly, occasionally glancing sideways at Wang Shuqin. 0
 
Wang Shuqin sat quietly beside them, watching with cold indifference, pretending not to notice. 0
 
Chen Dazhuang tugged at her sleeve. "Alright, Mom, let's eat first." 0
 
Aunt fell silent, feeling a bit awkward. 0
 
Once the dishes were served, Uncle could no longer hold back. 0
 
" Zhiwen, you mentioned before that you wanted Da Zhuang to inherit the family assets." 0
 
"We're family, so I won't be polite about it." 0
 
"Now that Da Zhuang has grown up, he should have a place to settle down, right?" 0
 
Uncle rubbed his hands together with a humble smile on his face. 0
 
Aunt chimed in, "Yes, Second Brother." 0
 
"Look at you and Sister-in-law; there are just two girls. It wouldn't do for such a large estate to go without an heir." 0
 
"Why not transfer a property to Da Zhuang now? It would give him a place to stay." 0
 
"You can't just keep such a large fortune for yourselves and let it go to outsiders in the end." 0
 
Chen Zhiwen lowered his head and drank silently. 0
 
Wang Shuqin chuckled softly from the side. 0
 
Aunt slammed her hand on the table. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?" 0
 
" Zhiwen promised in front of everyone that he would leave the family assets to Da Zhuang." 0
 
"You wouldn't be thinking of going back on your word now, would you?" 0
 
Wang Shuqin gently patted her hand. "Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry?" 0
 
 
"Guests from afar are still relatives." 0
 
"No matter how bad things get, I would never let you live under a bridge." 0
 
Aunt looked taken aback. "What do you mean by that?" 0
 
Wang Shuqin smiled without saying a word. 0
 
I sat to the side, watching the drama unfold. 0
 
It seemed my mother had everything planned out long ago. 0
 
Aunt lost her patience completely, hands on her hips. "You, Wang! Don't try that with me!" 0
 
"I don't care how you arrange things; today you must give me a rough idea!" 0
 
"House, car, savings... none of it can be missing!" 0
 
Chen Zhiwen set down his glass. 0
 
He remained silent for a long time, casting a meaningful glance at Uncle. 0
 
"Let Da Zhuang inherit the family fortune? That can wait until I'm dead." 0
 
In an instant, the private room fell silent. 0
