"Is this performance any good?"
Mother patted our heads.
My sister looked at her in admiration. "Mom, you're amazing!"
Mother smiled modestly. "It's just using strength against strength."
My sister tilted her head. "Then what about letting Chen Dazhuang inherit the family fortune..."
Mother shrugged her shoulders. "It's just an empty promise."
"He doesn't have the final say."
On the seventh day of the new year, Uncle's family came to the city with their belongings.
I heard it was because they couldn't stay in the village any longer.
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 regarding the road construction issue: "Chen Zhigang is a scoundrel! His family is using Zhiwen's money while ruining our village's road project!"
Now, Uncle had become a pariah in the village.
Wherever he went, people pointed and whispered; neighbors wouldn't even greet him when they met.
Left with no choice, they had to come to the city to discuss the "inheritance" matter with my dad.
In fact, Mother had already received the news.
She specifically arranged for Sister Yu Fang to meet them at the company entrance.
My sister tugged at my sleeve. "Mom is really clever; she thought of this too."
I nodded and quietly waited to see how things would unfold.
With tears and snot streaming down her face, Aunt pointed at Chen Zhiwen's company building, lamenting, "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 proud you are!"
Chen Dazhuang shook off her hand and straightened his clothes. "Enough! Let's hurry inside!"
"Second Uncle has plenty of money now; we should really take advantage of him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Fang emerged from the building, her high heels clicking on the pavement.
She greeted them with a bright smile, " manager Xiao Chen, you're here!"
Chen Dazhuang looked a bit confused. "You... who are you?"
Yu Fang smiled even more sweetly. "I'm Secretary Yu, sent by manager Chen to wait for you."
Chen Dazhuang immediately stood taller, a proud smile spreading across his face. "Then why aren't you taking us in?"
Yu Fang remained silent with a smile, leading them inside.
Aunt hurried after them. "Dear, where will we be staying?"
Yu Fang paused and looked at her innocently. "Didn't you already arrange for accommodations?"
Aunt was taken aback. "Huh?"
Yu Fang feigned surprise. " manager Xiao Chen is the future heir of the group; how could he stay in a guesthouse?"
" manager Chen instructed me this morning to arrange a hotel for manager 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; do you think we won't have a place to stay?"
Aunt fell silent, her lips pressed together awkwardly.
Chen Dazhuang glanced at Yu Fang and said, “I’ll head to the hotel with Mother first.”
Yu Fang smiled even brighter. “Then you and Aunt should hurry along.”
“I’ll keep manager Xiao Chen company here,” she added.
Chen Dazhuang nodded in satisfaction and turned to Aunt. “Alright, you two go find a guesthouse.”
“When I inherit Second Uncle’s estate, the first thing I’ll do is buy you a big house!”
Mother coldly shut off the video call.
“Remember, both of you, a man’s sweet talk is just a sugar-coated shell.”
“It sounds nice, but it tastes disgusting.”
“A woman must recognize her own worth and not be swayed by a few flattering words.”
“Those who are easily manipulated are nothing but fools.”
We both nodded in agreement.
