It took less than twenty minutes to drive to the Tan family's house.

The Tan family was very welcoming to Hu Meiling and He Wenlin.

"Uncle and Aunt, hello." He Wenlin greeted the two elders politely.

"Come in, come in and sit down," Mr. and Mrs. Tan invited them to come in and sit down.

"Wow, you made so many delicious dishes!" Hu Meiling said with a smile. "Auntie, you've worked hard today."

"It looks delicious," He Wenlin said.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tan laughed and said, "I heard you're a restaurant owner. Your aunt's cooking skills are definitely no match for yours."

"How could that be? This dish looks and smells delicious! I'm going to eat two more bowls of rice later."

"Hahaha, okay, if that's not enough, I'll cook you another pot."

The meal was indeed quite plentiful, including chicken, fish, pickled cabbage and pork intestines, a large bowl of water spinach, and lotus root and pork rib soup.

"Your name is Linlin, right?" Mr. Tan asked. "How long do you plan to stay here?"

"I'll stay for another two or three days, then I plan to go back."

"So fast! It's rare for you to come all this way, so please stay a few more days." At this point, Mr. Tan said to Hu Meiling, "Meiling, why don't you take a couple of days off and bring your sister here to have some fun?"

Hu Meiling said, "After I resign, I'll take her sightseeing properly."

"Resigned?" Mrs. Tan was immediately startled, and her voice suddenly rose, "You resigned? You quit?"

"Yes, I plan to start my own business. I'll work for two more days, then hand over my current tasks and I won't need to go anymore."

Tan's mother quickly put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "Meiling, your salary is so high, it's a real pity to quit. Mingyuan is going out to do business, and you're working, isn't that good enough? Business isn't that easy."

Hu Meiling: "Auntie, we are still young and want to try new things."

Tan's mother pursed her lips: "You're not getting any younger. You should be thinking about settling down and starting a family. If you get married and pregnant, who will take over the business?"

Mr. Tan looked at Tan Mingyuan and asked, "So, are you still going to keep your used car dealership open?"

"We've already rented the shop, of course we'll do it," Tan Mingyuan said.

Hu Meiling: "I'll contribute 60,000 yuan to the car dealership, but I won't participate in its operation; I'll just take a share of the profits."

"What percentage of the investment is 60,000?" He Wenlin asked.

Tan Mingyuan: "I estimate not much, because investing in a car dealership is very large."

“Not too much? You seem to be being ambiguous. Aren’t you going to sign a contract? Isn’t this written in the contract?” He Wenlin said, observing the expressions of the Tan family members.

“We’re all family, there’s no need to be so calculating. What Mingyuan earns will all end up being your sister’s anyway.” Tan’s mother disliked He Wenlin and always felt that she was being somewhat aggressive.

"Auntie, you can't say that. Business should always be clearly written down in black and white. Besides, this business isn't just with Mingyuan as the boss. Even brothers should keep clear accounts."

"Linlin, don't you trust me?" Tan Mingyuan asked. "Are you afraid I'll run off with the money?"

He Wenlin thought to herself: You're just good at defaulting on your debts and running away!

However, He Wenlin couldn't say this outright. She smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I just think that words are meaningless. No matter how nicely you talk, it's not as effective as actions. There are contracts in business. When you buy and sell cars, you also have to sign contracts, right? It's the same principle."

At this point, He Wenlin looked at him with a smile: "I think as long as you have nothing to hide, you'll generally agree to sign the contract. Auntie, Mingyuan, what do you think?"

How should we respond to that?

If I don't agree, wouldn't that make me look like I have something to hide?

The Tan family was furious, and their faces all turned pale.

The once enthusiastic father, Tan, also began to have reservations about He Wenlin.

Tan's mother said irritably, "Girls shouldn't speak so harshly, or they'll have a hard time finding a husband in the future."

"Auntie, I'm only fifteen. It's too early for me to find a husband. Besides, I'm young, pretty, and rich. Even if I'm a bit sharp-tongued, my future in-laws will still find me cute. Of course, I definitely won't accept any in-laws who want to take my hard-earned money. I'll kick them far away."

The Tan family members' expressions changed again, feeling that she was making veiled accusations.

He Wenlin continued with a smile, "My sister has a good temper and a soft heart. There are some things she's not comfortable saying, or is too embarrassed to say. But it's okay for me. I'm thick-skinned and don't care about being scalded by boiling water. So I'll say it. I'll be the bad guy. Brother Mingyuan, don't blame your sister for being too direct. You and my sister are just dating now, not married yet. What if you break up? What will happen then? I'm her sister, so I definitely have to consider things for my sister."

He Wenlin knew in her heart that it was inappropriate for her to say these things in the Tan family, but she had no choice; she couldn't just stand by and watch her sister be deceived.

This isn't sixty or six hundred, it's sixty thousand!

After saying these words, she looked at Tan Mingyuan and then glanced at Hu Meiling.

She wasn't afraid of the Tan family turning against her; what she cared about was Hu Meiling's attitude.

Hu Meiling's attitude will determine whether or not she continues to manage the situation.

If Hu Meiling also thinks she's meddling, then OK, she'll shut up and leave immediately.

"Meiling, what do you say? Don't you believe me either?" Tan Mingyuan asked.

Tan Mingyuan hated He Wenlin to death and cursed her countless times in his heart.

He had already convinced Hu Meiling to take the bankbook, but now He Wenlin has jumped out and asked him to sign the contract. He should have known better than to let her come to dinner!

That's incredibly rude! How can you talk to someone like that when you're eating at their house? And they still manage to open a shop and factory and make money? Damn it, the God of Wealth must be blind.

Tan Mingyuan's inner thoughts were unknown to everyone else; now, everyone was looking at Hu Meiling.

With a dark face, Mr. Tan said sternly, "You don't trust our family at all, Mingyuan? Don't take Meiling's money. We'll sell our blood to raise whatever the car dealership is short of."

“Meiling, we’re not the kind of people who would take your money. Don’t listen to your sister’s nonsense.” After saying that, Tan’s mother glared at He Wenlin. “You should know very well how Mingyuan treats you and what kind of person he is.”

Hu Meiling said shyly, "Auntie, my sister is just concerned about me. She's a businesswoman with a big business, so she always insists on things being in writing. Please don't be angry. She didn't mean anything by it. Of course, I trust Mingyuan, otherwise I wouldn't be dating him."

Upon hearing this, the Tan family's expressions finally softened.

After that, no one mentioned it again, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

About ten minutes later, Hu Meiling saw that it was almost time to go back to work.

Tan Mingyuan had originally arranged to have dinner with Hu Meiling and then go to her place to pick up his bankbook. However, Tan Mingyuan really disliked He Wenlin and was afraid that she would ruin things, so he drove them directly to the factory. After dropping them off, Tan Mingyuan drove away.

The matter of money was never mentioned again.
