"Is this big show interesting?"
My Mom patted our heads.
My sister looked at her in admiration, "Mom, you're amazing!"
My Mom smiled modestly, "It's just using strength against strength."
My sister tilted her head, "Then what about letting Chen Dazhuang inherit the Family Assets..."
My Mom shrugged, "It's just an empty promise."
"He doesn't have the final say."
On the seventh day of the new year, Uncle and his family came to the city.
I heard it was because they couldn't stay in the village anymore.
Ever since the last "blind date" incident, Aunt's family cut ties with her after realizing they had been played.
The Village Party Secretary publicly criticized Uncle on the village broadcast because of Xiu Lu's matter: "Chen Zhigang is such a scoundrel! His family is spending Zhiwen's money while ruining our village's important event!"
Now, Uncle had become a pariah in the village.
Wherever he went, people pointed and whispered; neighbors wouldn't even greet him.
Left with no choice, they had to come to the city to discuss "inheriting the Family Assets" with my dad.
In fact, My Mom had received the news long ago.
She specifically arranged for Sister Yu Fang to greet them at the company entrance.
My sister tugged at my sleeve, "Mom is really clever; she even thought of this."
I nodded and quietly waited to watch the drama unfold.
With tears and snot streaming down her face, Aunt pointed at Chen Zhiwen's company building and complained, "If it weren't for us helping you back then, would you be where you are today?"
"Now that you have money, look at how smug you all are!"
Chen Dazhuang shook off her hand and straightened his clothes. "Enough! Let's hurry inside!"
"Second Uncle has plenty of money now; let's make sure to take advantage of him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Fang walked out in her high heels, clicking on the floor.
She greeted them with a bright smile, "Xiao Chen, you're here."
Chen Dazhuang looked confused. "You... who are you?"
Yu Fang smiled even more sweetly. "I'm President Chen's secretary, and I've been instructed to wait for you here."
Chen Dazhuang instantly stood up straighter, a proud smile spreading across his face. "Then why aren't you taking us inside?"
Yu Fang smiled without answering and led them inside.
Aunt hurried after them. "Dear, where will we be staying?"
Yu Fang stopped in her tracks and looked at her innocently. "Didn't you already find a guesthouse?"
Aunt was taken aback. "Huh?"
Yu Fang feigned surprise. "Xiao Chen is the future heir of the group; how could he stay in a guesthouse?"
"President Chen instructed me this morning to arrange a hotel for Xiao Chen."
Aunt felt a bit embarrassed. "Well..."
Chen Dazhuang was displeased. "Mom! Why were you looking for a guesthouse?"
"I have Second Uncle's money; are you worried we won't have a place to stay?"
Aunt closed her mouth awkwardly.
Chen Dazhuang glanced at Yu Fang and said, "Then I'll go to the hotel with my mom first."
Yu Fang smiled even brighter, "Then you and Aunt should hurry along."
"I'll keep Xiao Chen company here."
Chen Dazhuang nodded in satisfaction and turned to Aunt, "Alright, you two go find a guesthouse first."
"When I get the family assets from Second Uncle, the first thing I'll do is buy you a big house!"
My mom coldly ended the video call.
"You two remember, a man's sweet talk is just a sugar-coated bullet."
"It sounds nice, but it tastes awful."
"A woman needs to recognize her own strength and not be swayed by a few flattering words."
"Those who are easily manipulated are all fools."
We both nodded repeatedly.
