Chapter 3
At six o'clock in the evening, the car drove away from Xu's house and headed towards the manor in the suburbs.
Xu Yanwen was driving the car himself. While waiting at a red light, he looked at his wife and children behind him through the rearview mirror.
The two daughters sat obediently on both sides of their wife. Yinyin turned her head to look out the window, her round almond eyes full of curiosity, and the smile at the corner of her lips had never faded since she got in the car.
The quiet and introverted 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 too tiring, and I can't ask directly, because if I ask, I will be muted.
But then I thought, it's best if the person involved doesn't know. If she knew that her inner thoughts would be heard by outsiders, she would be so scared that she would never say a word again. Then, if she wanted to find out something, there would be no trace left.
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. Every detail, from the meticulously carved shapes to the various automated sprinkler systems, is built with money.
Take another look at the endless tree-lined avenue, the exquisite small Western-style buildings hidden in the shady green trees, pavilions, waterside pavilions, corridors and lotus ponds, a scene every three steps and a painting every five steps, the beauty is bold and majestic.
She couldn't help but roll down the car window and took a deep breath of the refreshing air.
[Oh my god, is this what money tastes like? It's so addictive. Living in a place like this, you're guaranteed to live to be a hundred years old. Woohoo, it feels so good to be rich.]
[Wow, there's actually 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 just one second. What a wonderful life! I want to settle down here and never leave.]
[No, no, I can't be so ignorant. Calm down, calm down, Xu Yinyin. We are the children of a wealthy family now. As long as you don't try to be so ruthless in your pursuit of favors, raising a loser like you is no problem at all.]
The three people present heard her thoughts, and the couple couldn't help laughing.
Xu Yao was very surprised. She always thought her sister was very introverted, but she never expected her to be so lively and cute.
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere in the car, the atmosphere in the main room was a bit solemn.
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? It's your first time meeting the old man and you're so rude. Big brother, why don't you teach him a lesson?"
"Yinyin was just brought back yesterday. What can you teach her in one day? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble."
Xu Yanrui snorted and scoffed, "If you could keep your composure, why would you turn down such an important social engagement? Aren't you really in a hurry?"
"What's the point of me being anxious? I'm not qualified to speak."
After Tang Wan retorted to 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 Dafang family actually found 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 supported by the Xu family for more than 20 years. Even if it is fake, it is impossible to kick her out.
The Xu family is wealthy and powerful, so raising ten or eight bastards is no problem at all.
"Don't be too anxious. After all, among Dad's three children, only our family has a son. Passing the inheritance to sons instead of daughters is the rule set by our ancestors. What is ours is ours. Stay calm."
Tang Wan looked around in panic and lowered her voice to scold, "Are you crazy? Is this something you can say here? Don't you think the walls have ears and can't 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. The old man has died once before, so he is more open-minded than us. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry 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. Understand?"
Tang Wan rolled her eyes at him and took out her cell phone to entertain herself.
Not long after, the servant came to report that the eldest young master and his family had arrived.
Tang Wan quickly stood up and went to greet him, eager to see her eldest niece who had risen from a humble beginning to a phoenix.
"Big brother and sister-in-law."
Tang Wan smiled attentively and warmly. After greeting Xu Yanwen and his wife, she turned her attention 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 might think they are twins. My brother and sister-in-law are so lucky!"
"Hello, Second Aunt." The two sisters greeted in unison.
[Tsk tsk tsk, is this old lady blind? How are Yaoyao and I similar? Are you saying this because you're afraid there will be rumors about your parents? We look alike, and we're living out there. People who don't know the situation will immediately think it's an illegitimate child. You really are just trying to create chaos.]
[You know 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 voice: ???!
"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 so good, come on, sit down and talk."
No matter how confused Tang Wan was, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger for the time being.
Xu Yanwen and his wife looked at each other, and from their expressions, they guessed that they could also hear their daughter's thoughts.
Tang Wan often used words to irritate them. She always said in front of the old man, openly or secretly, that Xu Yanwen lacked courage and was finding ways to drive people out of the company and start his own business so that she could make room for him to cultivate his confidants and slowly erode 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 presence in front of the old man. In addition, he has not made any achievements in the company and has always been suppressed by the couple.
Now seeing Tang Wan being humiliated, the couple felt indescribably happy in their hearts, and their eyes were full of pride as they looked at each other.
Aren’t you very eloquent? Why don’t you say anything?
Tang Wan gritted her teeth and led him to sit on the sofa, then heard that annoying voice say--
[Hey, I guess the next conversation will be just another boring round of questions, 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 "gua" mean? What's she going to do next?!
[Yes, your second aunt has several gigolos, 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 he has kidney deficiency. It's true that women are as fierce as wolves and tigers at thirty, and can even suck dirt if they sit on the ground at forty.]
Tang Wan's old face turned red and her back teeth were clenched tightly.
[No, your second uncle's kidney deficiency is due to being exploited by other women. He also has a mistress. The couple cheats on each other. The main theme is gender equality.]
"Puff--cough cough cough" Xu Yanwen spat out a mouthful of tea.
Good man, it turns out that your usual affection is just acted.
Jiang Xin quickly took out some paper to wipe him, her eyes constantly glancing at the couple on the sofa opposite who were blushing.
She had no doubt that the couple were almost going crazy 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 are they trying to achieve by getting married?
[Giving birth to a son is a fight for the inheritance. Your second aunt got pregnant with a son, and your second uncle even gave her a puppy as a thank you.]
[Oh my, playing is something only rich people know how to do. By the way, Second Aunt is so flirtatious, how can Second Uncle be sure that the child is his?]
[It’s simple. When preparing for pregnancy, no one is allowed to go out. Only when the pregnancy is confirmed, people are allowed out.]
[Wow, they really closed the mountains to reforest.]
"Puff--cough cough cough."
This time it was Jiang Xin who choked on the tea, "Sorry, sorry!"
Xu Yanwen hurried to help wipe it. The couple was about to burst into laughter, so 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 anymore. It was so much fun to eat other people's melons.
The two parties involved in the scandal were so angry that they were shaking all over but could not vent their anger.
The reason why a scandal is called a scandal is because it cannot be made public. Not to mention that they cannot speak out, if they really open their mouths to confront each other, will they still have any dignity left?
Ahhhh, is Xu Yinyin the jinx that the Dafang family has specially brought back to cause trouble?
hateful!
[Any more? Any more? Please give me more. I love to hear it.]
【besides--】
"Yinyin, don't just sit there. Drink some tea and eat 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, Second Auntie. I'm just a little thirsty."
Tang Wan gritted her teeth and complained inwardly, "If you like gossip so much, you'll die of thirst!"
【Continue, what else--】
Every time your second aunt dates a young man, she has to do a full body skin tightening and rejuvenation, pretending to be a 28-year-old girl, and paints old cucumbers green. She's really trying hard.
"No, are those people blind? She's already forty. No matter how much technology she uses, she can't turn eighteen."
What's wrong with being forty? Just ask what young person, fresh out of the workforce, could resist the dual allure of money and beauty. Furthermore, her makeup skills are unmatched, allowing her to effortlessly switch between girly, mature, and beautiful women, captivating the young men. If you don't believe me, look at the pictures.
The system displayed various disguised photos of Tang Wan on the light screen.
Ah, this--
Xu Yinyin picked up her teacup, stole a glance at the object opposite her, and silently compared it: [Is she wearing makeup or a painted skin?]
Tang Wan: “······”Are you polite?
"The third young lady is back."
Following the servant's announcement, the group turned their attention to the gate.
Xu Yanwen was wearing a red dress that went below her knees. She had a fair, beautiful, and delicate face. She walked lightly, like a dancing butterfly, carrying a faint fragrance as she walked towards the crowd.
[Wow, my aunt is so beautiful. You can tell she's a dancer. She has such a stunning temperament. Slurp!]
Xu Yanwen was slightly startled, and following the address in the voice, she looked at Xu Yao and Xu Yinyin who were standing together.
She had heard Xu Yao's voice before, but they clearly didn't speak. Could it be Xu Yinyin's inner voice?
Although it was a little unbelievable, she didn't show it. She smiled and walked towards her two nieces, "Yaoyao, Yinyin."
"Hello, aunt!" they said in unison.
Xu Yanwen looked at Xu Yinyin, and it was indeed her voice.
[My aunt is so gentle and has a nice voice. Woohoo! It turns out that beauties are good in every way. I envy them so much.]
Everyone likes to hear good things, and Xu Yanwen is no exception.
She smiled and touched the top of her head, and asked, "Are you used to it at home?"
"I'm used to it. My parents and sister are all very kind to me. Thank you for your concern, aunt."
Xu Yanwen felt that her niece was sweet-spoken, well-behaved, and quite likable.
"Just get used to it. Sit down. Don't be restrained. Yaoyao will sit down too."
"Um."
[My aunt is a nice person, so there shouldn't be any melons, right?]
Xu Yanwen was puzzled. What kind of news was this?
Xu Yanrui and Tang Wan's eyes lit up. It was finally someone else's turn. Hurry up!
