"I'm doing this for your own good." She looked aggrieved. "You're my sister-in-law; how can I just stand by and watch you get scammed?"
"For my own good?" I laughed in anger. "I'm spending my money; what does it have to do with you?"
"Besides, who told you these things aren't worth that much?"
"Grandma's craftsmanship is excellent, and the materials are good. Five thousand three is already a bargain."
"Are you still complaining it's expensive?" My sister-in-law's voice was sharp. "Wang Zixuan, I think you're just deliberately opposing me."
"Exactly." My brother walked over and stood beside her. "Sister, your sister-in-law means well; don't bite the hand that feeds you."
My chest ached with anger.
Taking a deep breath, I pulled out my phone and typed an apology to Grandma.
Grandma smiled and said it was fine, even asking if I wanted to come back another day.
I shook my head, about to speak when my sister-in-law suddenly rushed over and shoved a hundred-dollar bill into Grandma's hand.
Then she turned to me and said, "This money is enough to buy these things; let's go."
As she spoke, she reached out to grab my arm.
I shook her hand off angrily and laughed in fury. "Sister-in-law, are you out of your mind?"
"Who told you to help pay?"
"I'm doing this for your own good." She had a righteous expression. "Wang Zixuan, I'm your sister-in-law; I can't just watch you get scammed."
"Alright, you're doing this for my good." I nodded and took out my phone. "How much did you just spend?"
"One hundred." She looked smug. "I told you, these things aren't worth anything."
I pressed my lips together, took out my wallet, counted out a thousand dollars, and shoved it into her hand. "Pay me back."
"What did you say?" She looked shocked.
"I said, pay me back." I enunciated each word through clenched teeth.
My sister-in-law exploded. "Wang Zixuan, are you crazy?"
"I am your sister-in-law. I save you money, and instead of thanking me, you want me to pay you back?"
"That's right," my brother chimed in, "Sister, you're being unreasonable."
I looked at them with a blank expression and replied coldly, "You both need to understand that I never asked her to pay."
"She paid, so why should I reimburse her?"
As I spoke, I reached out and snatched the hundred yuan from her hand.
Then I turned to the elderly lady and bowed in apology, saying I would come back tomorrow.
The elderly lady waved her hand, indicating it was fine.
I turned back to them and said, "And don't touch my money."
"Or else, I'll call the police."
"You..." My sister-in-law's face turned pale with anger.
My brother looked equally shocked. "Sister, you've changed. You weren't like this before."
"Have I changed?" I chuckled lightly. "Brother, don't forget that I'm your company's boss."
With that, I turned and left.
Back at the hotel, after taking a shower and preparing for bed, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Outside stood my sister-in-law, gazing at the door frame with a resentful expression.
When she saw me open the door, she immediately straightened up and regained her composure.
I frowned. "What do you want?"
"Nothing much," she huffed lightly as she walked in, glancing around with envy in her eyes.
"This room is really nice. How much does it cost per night?"
"12,888," I smiled slyly. "What? Do you like this kind of room too?"
"How much?" She exclaimed in shock. "That's so expensive!"
I raised an eyebrow and said deliberately, "Not too expensive. If you want to stay here, I can help you book one."
"Who said I wanted you to book it?" She scoffed and then pulled out a piece of paper. "Sign this."
I took a look and saw it was a Guarantee Letter. The content was roughly that she, my brother, and our parents would have no financial dealings with me in the future. Furthermore, I was to voluntarily give up my inheritance rights to the house under my parents' name. I smiled. They were afraid I might ask them for money later, so they were taking precautions in advance.
"Will you sign it?" she asked coldly.
I pulled out my phone and opened the video app. "I can sign it, but I want to record the entire process."
