Zhou Jiao looked at him worriedly.
Will those two half-sisters play tricks? This guy can't even handle a sister-in-law who's not even up to the standard, don't let them gnaw on him like a bone!
I finally have a brother who I can get along with, I don't want him to be tormented. I think about how I grew from a skinny, dark kid to a tall and handsome boy.
Zhou Jiao said she was very upset!
"You haven't been back these years. How do they deal with it and explain it to the outside world?"
Lei Tianming slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to mention one thing. When the incident happened, my uncle was worried that someone would come after me and threaten me, so he announced that I was in poor health and unfit to see guests.
Later, my father went to France under the pretext of finding a doctor for me. My two older sisters grew up in my eldest uncle's home in Hong Kong. The rest of my second uncle's family is in Renaissance.
Suddenly, Lei Tianming looked at her with a smile, "Sister, I heard from the old housekeeper that my uncles, my second uncle, and my father have all seen you in person. Haha... They say you have a bad habit of adding a lot of sugar to your coffee. You love sweet handmade chocolates the most, but the weird thing is, you don't like desserts."
Upon hearing this, Miao Lishan looked at her daughter teasingly.
Zhou Jiao smiled noncommittally. It was a thoughtful gesture. She had gone abroad twice, and only once had she concealed her identity. And yet, she was discovered and rushed to the local area.
The most important point is that he still doesn’t show up to meet us.
From this, it seems that the three cheap uncles are good people.
This fool should have had no problems in the past.
"Then it seems you're definitely leaving." Zhou Jiao looked at his hesitation and added fuel to the fire, "Have you forgotten your mother's last words? Have you not given up English all these years?"
Lei Tianming looked at her with a wronged expression, "Sis, ever since that year when you insisted that I learn English secretly, was that what you had in mind?"
Zhou Jiao had made plans for him, but she didn't want to reveal them. Right now, these weren't the main point; instead, it was that if he could get out there, his life would be more exciting and fulfilling.
"Tianming, the debt you owed to the Lei family has long been repaid. Let's not even mention when Uncle Lei passed away, and you, a ten-year-old child, took on the heavy responsibility of supporting the family.
Aunt Lei has been gone for so many years. How much have you sacrificed for the Lei siblings? Not only their jobs and marriages, but even their lives were yours. But look at how they're doing now?
The younger brother is heartless and cowardly, and when has the younger sister ever spoken a fair word for you? They haven't inherited any of their parents' virtues."
Lei Tianming looked at her hesitantly, "Sister, do you know everything?"
Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes at him angrily. "Heizi and the others are so angry about you that they're crying. Won't they complain to me? And your boss at work, do you think that ungrateful bastard doesn't want your job?"
Lei Tianming sighed, "Who could have imagined that after my mother passed away, they would become completely different as they grew up. It's not that I don't care, it's just boring. After I got married, I became an outsider, an adopted son. Just for such a shabby house, what's the harm in saying it directly? Can I still refuse to leave?"
"Have you spent all your salary on them in the past few years?"
Lei Tianming laughed and shook his head. "No, didn't you say I had to deposit ten yuan into my savings account every month? Sister, I'm not really that heartless, otherwise the Lei family wouldn't have adopted me."
Zhou Jiao was well aware of this. Why is it that smarter people are often reluctant to owe favors? It's because they worry the price will be too high.
But one thing cannot be denied, the kindness of the Lei family is indeed as heavy as a mountain. This ending is also good, it will not be sad if they are far away, and it will be a complete break if they are far away!
"How many days did the old housekeeper say he would stay here?"
Lei Tianming frowned. "According to him, he came here mainly for two reasons. Besides me, he wanted Aunt to see him when she's free. But is it appropriate? Will it cause trouble for Aunt? He said that my grandmother rescued him from the dead and sent him to live with my father..."
Zhou Jiao suddenly felt like laughing. Why did this sound like a story? Her step-grandmother must have arranged for her stepson to be surrounded by spies.
"Why do you want to meet him? No! You really have to meet him. You have to ask him to take good care of you in the future. If you really want to go abroad alone and get into trouble, I won't be able to help you here."
Zhou Jiao's face was filled with gloom. "Mom, Tianming is going to see his father and return to his own home, not on a mission? But it would be good if you could go meet the old housekeeper. He's going there so suddenly and he's unfamiliar with the place, so I don't know if he can adapt. Or, why don't you take Heizi with you? He's all alone anyway."
Lei Tianming looked at her with amusement, "Sister, you're still talking about my aunt, aren't you worried about me? Forget Heizi, he still needs me if he stays here."
Zhou Jiao stopped talking after hearing what he said. She then brought up the matter of Miao Lishan's meeting with the old housekeeper. She still had to make arrangements for these matters.
"Sister, you should discuss it with your uncle before making a decision. If it's really inconvenient for my aunt to meet, can't I just pass on the message? It's not a big deal!"
"Jiaojiao, your dad and Xiaowu should be back by now. Let's eat first. Xiaoming will stay at home tonight. Sigh... I finally have a nephew, but now he's running away again."
Zhou Jiao and Lei Tianming burst into laughter after being amused by Miao Lishan's words.
——That’s true. The Lin family’s nephew is gone, and the Shaanxi Miao family’s nephew is fake. It’s not that I finally have a real nephew, but he ran away abroad.
After dinner, we were still in the study, but the roles had changed.
Zhou Jiao was replaced by Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhang Guoqing, and they continued to talk and discuss. Just as Zhou Jiao worried, she wondered if they would be completely eaten up abroad.
After spending so many years together, Zhou Xiaozheng really liked this loyal and righteous junior. If he wasn't worried about his background being discovered, he would have wanted to promote him.
Zhou Jiao didn't know what they talked about. But she was too busy right now, probably because Lei Tianming silently tore open two cartons and took out a bunch of things.
She was so angry that she could only help her sons to sort it out first. This damn boy said he didn't want it for nothing, so who didn't want it? She was not soft-hearted at all!
Two boxes this big...
——There are clothes, shoes, socks and toys inside.
Men's, women's, adults', children's, the only missing ones are baby's... lace, silk, denim, woolen...
Even the unique style includes bell-bottom pants, leather jackets, and sunglasses. Speaking of which, isn't this the "artifact" that should be available in two years?
Zhou Jiao suspected that the people in the Miao family were out of their minds.
——Who in their family is suitable to wear these strange clothes?
But the thought behind it is quite profound. There are so many items available all year round, and I can’t even count them all. They are all novel and unique in style, and the colors are very bright.
The things in the box were even more valuable, including three pairs of Montblanc pens, three Vacheron Constantin men's watches, and three gold-cast miniature figurines.
——Not surprisingly, this is a gift for the three Ping An brothers to go to school.
Zhou Jiao sighed as she looked at these things. Why did she feel that this was the money Lei Tianming earned from selling his body?
