Chapter 3

At six o'clock in the evening, the car left Xu's house and headed towards the manor in the suburbs.

Xu Yanwen was driving the car himself. When he was waiting for the red light, he looked at his wife and children behind him through the rearview mirror.

The two daughters sat obediently on both sides of the wife. Yinyin turned her head to look out the window. Her round almond eyes were full of curiosity, and the smile at the corner of her lips had never faded since she got on the car.

The quiet and reserved Yaoyao looked out the window quietly, with a faint smile on her face. It was hard to associate such a well-behaved and sensible daughter with the thief in Yinyin's heart.

Is Yaoyao really Zhou Xinyi’s child? He has so many enemies, so who is his biological father?

Ahhh, the feeling of eating half of the melon is so tiring. I can't ask directly, because if I ask, I will be muted.

But on second thought, it is best that the person concerned does not know. If she knew that her inner voice would be heard by outsiders, she would be so scared that she would never say a word again. Then, if anyone wanted to find out something, there would be no trace at all.

An hour later, the car arrived at the manor where the old man lived.

The heavy carved iron gate slowly opens, revealing lush vegetation and colorful flowers. From the carefully carved shapes to the various automated sprinkler systems, every detail is a costly endeavor.

Take another look at the endless tree-lined avenue, the exquisite small Western-style buildings hidden among the green trees, the pavilions, waterside pavilions, corridors and lotus ponds. There is a scene every three steps and a painting every five steps. It is beautiful, majestic and grand.

She couldn't help but roll down the car window and take a deep breath of the refreshing air.

[Oh my god, is this what money smells like? It’s so intoxicating. Living in a place like this, you’ll live to be at least a hundred years old. Woohoo, it’s great to be rich.]

[Wow, there is a hot spring behind the manor, which can be directly introduced into the bathroom of each bedroom, so you can soak in the hot spring at home in one second. What a wonderful life! I want to stay here forever.]

[No, no, I can't be so ignorant. Calm down, calm down Xu Yinyin. We are the children of a rich family now. As long as we don't fight for affection, raising a piece of trash like you is not a problem at all.]

The three people present heard her thoughts, and the couple couldn't help laughing.

Xu Yao was very surprised. She had always thought her sister was very introverted, but she never expected that she was so lively and cute.

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere in the car, the atmosphere in the main house is a bit solemn.

My second uncle Xu Yanrui and his wife Tang Wan have already arrived and are drinking tea in the living room.

"It's already so late, why haven't you arrived yet? You're so rude the first time I meet you, big brother. I don't know how to teach you a lesson."

"Didn't Yinyin just get brought back yesterday? What can you teach her in one day? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble."

Xu Yanrui snorted and laughed, teasing: "If you can keep your composure, why would you turn down such an important social event? Are you really not in a hurry?"

"What's the point of me being anxious? I have no right to speak."

After Tang Wan sneered at him, she sat back with her arms crossed, feeling very upset.

Now is the critical moment for the old man to draft his will. It is hard not to have some thoughts when the eldest family finds their biological daughter at this critical moment.

After all, one more person means one more share of the inheritance. After all, Xu Yao has been raised by the Xu family for more than 20 years. Even if it is fake, it is impossible to get rid of him.

The Xu family is wealthy and powerful, so raising eight or ten bastards is no problem at all.

"Don't be too anxious. After all, among Dad's three children, only our family has a son. It is a rule set by our ancestors that inheritance should be passed down to sons instead of daughters. What is ours is ours. Stay calm."

Tang Wan looked around in panic and lowered her voice to scold, "Are you crazy? You can't say that here. Doesn't the wall have ears and hear it?"

She was really going to be killed by his stupidity.

Xu Yanrui was fearless: "This is the truth. There is nothing shameful about it. My old man has died once, so he is more open-minded than us. Otherwise, he wouldn't rush to make a will. If it's mine, no one can take it away. If it's not mine, you can't catch it even if you die. Do you understand?"

Tang Wan rolled her eyes at him and took out her cell phone to entertain herself.

Soon, the servant came to report that the eldest master and his family had arrived.

Tang Wan quickly stood up and went to greet her, eager to see her eldest niece who had risen from a chicken to a phoenix.

"Big brother and big sister."

Tang Wan smiled attentively and warmly. After greeting Xu Yanwen and his wife, she turned her gaze to Xu Yinyin.

"Oh my, is this Yinyin? Look at this pretty little girl, she looks exactly like my sister-in-law. Both sisters are beautiful. If you don't know them, you would think they are twins. My brother and sister-in-law are so lucky!"

"Hello, Second Auntie." The two sisters greeted in unison.

[Tsk tsk tsk, is this lady blind? How are Yaoyao and I alike? Are you saying this because you’re afraid that there will be rumors about you as a parent? We look alike, and we’re living out in exile. People who don’t know the situation will immediately guess that you’re an illegitimate child. You really want to create chaos in the world.]

[You know that Grandpa is suspicious, but you insist on bringing up all sorts of issues. You know how to sow discord. ]

Xu Yanrui and Tang Wan suddenly heard their inner voices: ???!

"You--" Tang Wan tried to refute, but found that she couldn't speak.

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Yinyin blinked her big, confused eyes, looking puzzled.

"You two are really good. Come on, sit down and talk."

No matter how confused Tang Wan was, she could only swallow the blood and eat her teeth.

Xu Yanwen and his wife looked at each other, and from their expressions they guessed that they could also hear what their daughter was thinking.

Tang Wan often used words to choke them. She always said in front of her father, openly or secretly, that Xu Yanwen had no courage and was trying every means to drive people out of the company to start their own business so that she could make room for them, cultivate her confidants, and slowly eat up the family business.

Xu Yanwen is honest, straightforward and kind. He is neither as versatile as Tang Wan nor as eloquent as Xu Yanrui. He has little sense of existence in front of his father-in-law. In addition, he has not made any achievements in the company and has been suppressed by the couple.

Now seeing Tang Wan in trouble, the couple felt indescribably happy in their hearts, and their eyes were full of pride when they looked at each other.

Aren't you very eloquent? Why don't you speak anymore?

Tang Wan bit her back teeth and led him to sit on the sofa, and then heard that annoying voice say--

[Hey, I guess the next conversation will be another boring questioning, all kinds of probing under the guise of concern, Xiao Qi, does this second aunt have any melons? Let me take a break.]

Tang Wan was about to ask her how she had spent the past twenty years when she was suddenly startled.

What does melon mean? What is she going to do?!

[Yes, your aunt has several pretty boys out there, all of them have eight-pack abs.]

[Wow, is it because Second Uncle can't satisfy her? Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder his eyes are blue and his lips are pale. It's obvious that he has kidney deficiency. It's true that women are as fierce as wolves and tigers at the age of thirty, but can suck dirt when they sit on the ground at the age of forty.]

Tang Wan's old face turned red and her back teeth were clenched tightly.

[No, your uncle's kidney deficiency was caused by other women. He also has a mistress. The couple cheat on each other. The main purpose is gender equality.]

"Puff--cough cough cough" Xu Yanwen spat out a mouthful of tea.

My goodness, it seems that your usual affection is just an act.

Jiang Xin quickly took out some tissue to wipe his face, and glanced at the couple who were blushing on the sofa opposite her.

She had no doubt that the couple must be almost suffocating themselves at this moment. She knew very well the feeling of hearing something but not being able to refute it.

[Is this the legendary open marriage? What do they want to achieve by getting married?]

[Giving birth to a son is to fight for inheritance. Your second aunt is pregnant with a son, and your second uncle even gave her a puppy as a thank you.]

[Oh my, only rich people know how to play. By the way, my second aunt is so romantic, how can my second uncle be sure that the child is his?]

[It’s simple. When you are preparing for pregnancy, no one is allowed to go out. Only when you are sure that you are pregnant, will you be allowed to go out.]

[Good guys, really closing the mountains to reforest]

"Pfft--cough cough cough."

This time it was Jiang Xin who sneered at the tea, "Sorry, sorry!"

Xu Yanwen hurried to help wipe it. The couple was trying to hold back their laughter so hard that they almost exploded. They made an excuse to go upstairs to change clothes and ran away.

Xu Yao, who had been pinching her thigh with her hands, could hardly hold it back any longer. It was so much fun to eat other people's melons.

As the two parties involved in the scandal, they were so angry that they were shaking all over but they couldn't show any emotion.

The reason a scandal is called a scandal is because it cannot be made public. Not to mention that they can't speak up, if they really open their mouths and confront each other, would they still have any dignity left?

Ahhhh, is Xu Yinyin the unlucky person that the Dafang family specially brought back to cause trouble?!

Damn!

[Anything else? Anything else? More, I love listening to it.]

【and--】

"Yinyin, don't just sit there, drink some tea and have some snacks. Grandpa should be coming down soon."

"Yaoyao eats too."

Tang Wan interrupted her thoughts directly. If she couldn't refute it, couldn't she just shut her mouth?

"Thank you, Auntie. I'm just a little thirsty."

Tang Wan complained inwardly with gritted teeth, "You love gossip so much, I'd rather die of thirst!"

[Continue, what else--]

[Every time your auntie dates a young man, she has to make her whole body tight and tender, pretending to be a 28-year-old girl, and paint the old cucumber green. She is really hardworking]

[No, are those people blind? She is already 40 years old. No matter how hard she tries with technology, she can’t become 18.]

[What's wrong with being forty? Which young person who has just entered the society can resist the double temptation of money and beauty? Moreover, her makeup skills are invincible. She can switch between girl, young lady and beautiful woman freely, which makes the young men's hearts flutter. If you don't believe me, look at the pictures.]

The system displayed various photos of Tang Wan in different costumes on the light screen.

【Ah, this--】

Xu Yinyin picked up the teacup, stole a glance at the real object opposite, and silently compared: [Is she wearing makeup or painted skin? ]

Tang Wan: “······”Are you polite?

"The third young lady is back."

Following the servant's announcement, the group turned their attention towards the gate.

Xu Yanwen was wearing a red dress that went below her knees. She had a fair, pretty face and walked lightly like a dancing butterfly, surrounded by a faint fragrance as she walked towards the crowd.

[Wow, my little aunt is so beautiful. She is obviously a dancer. She has such a great temperament. Slurp! ]

Xu Yanwen was slightly startled, and following the address in the voice, she looked towards Xu Yao and Xu Yinyin who were standing together.

She had heard Xu Yao's voice before, but they clearly didn't say anything. Could it be Xu Yinyin's inner voice?

Although it was a little unbelievable, she did not show it. She smiled and walked towards her two nieces, "Yaoyao, Yinyin."

"Hello, aunt!" they both said in unison.

Xu Yanwen looked at Xu Yinyin, and it was indeed her voice.

[The girl is so gentle and has a nice voice, woo woo woo, it turns out that beauties are good in every way, I envy her so much]

Everyone likes to hear good things, and Xu Yanwen is no exception.

She smiled and touched her head, and asked, "Are you still used to it at home?"

"It's my habit. My parents and sister are all very kind to me. Thank you, aunt, for your concern."

Xu Yanwen thinks that her niece is sweet-spoken, well-behaved and quite likable.

"It's just a habit. Sit down. Don't be restrained. Yaoyao will sit down too."

"Um."

[My sister-in-law is a nice person, but there shouldn’t be any gossip, right? ]

Xu Yanwen was puzzled, what melon?

Xu Yanrui and Tang Wan's eyes gleamed, it was finally someone else's turn, hurry up!
