The middle-aged man was named Shi Hongming, Shi Xi's second uncle. The middle-aged woman was Shi Xi's second aunt, named Zhou Jia.
Hearing Shi Han's disrespectful attitude, Shi Hongming immediately roared, "Shi Han, what do you mean? I am Xiao Xi's second uncle. How could I not have feelings for her?"
Shi Han ignored Shi Hongming. "Sister, let's go upstairs! Second Uncle, if you want to stay here, just say so. You don't need to use the excuse of visiting and caring for my sister."
"Uncle Song, please take good care of our guests who have come from afar. My sister and I have other matters to attend to, so we will not be able to entertain you any longer."
Shi Han pulled Shi Xi upstairs, then closed the door to cut off all sound.
Shi Yue was jealous. Shi Han protected Shi Xi upstairs, a flash of malice in her eyes, and said softly, "Second cousin, do you not like me?"
Zhou Jia said with heartache, "No, your second cousin is just bewitched by that little bitch who just came back..."
Uncle Song said unhappily, "Second Madam, please watch your words."
Shi Yue quickly said, "Uncle Song, I'm sorry, please don't blame my mother. It was just a slip of the tongue."
Shi Hongming said loudly, "Alright, alright, he's just a butler. How dare he talk about my wife and daughter? He should know his place."
"Aren't you going to take us to our room? Are we supposed to drag our luggage back and forth like this?"
Uncle Song: "This way, please!"
After Uncle Song led the family of three into the guest room, he left. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zhou Jia made no attempt to hide anything. "Xiaoyue, we'll be able to live a comfortable life here from now on. Your older brother is such a fool. He doesn't know how to enjoy life at all. We asked him to come and live a few days of luxury with us, but he refused."
"Brother, he has a strong sense of self-respect. He probably doesn't like living a life of dependence on others."
Shi Hongming slammed his hand on the table. "What do you mean by living under someone else's roof? We're visiting relatives. I'm staying with my older brother for a few days. What's wrong with that?"
"If it weren't for the old man's favoritism back then, the gap between our two families wouldn't be so big. Shi Hongguang has servants to wait on him and a big company, while I can only have a small company in a third- or fourth-tier city. Why should I?"
Shi Yue patted Shi Hongming's chest, her eyes hiding her disdain, "Dad, don't be angry. We're going to enjoy this happy time together from now on."

Shi Xi's bedroom.
Shi Han sat on the sofa angrily, while Shi Xi sat beside her, waiting for Shi Han to calm down.
Shi Han said earnestly, "Little sister, you must never get too involved with them. You have no idea how outrageous they are."
“Grandpa was the director of the National Research Institute. He taught Dad and my second uncle to be independent from a young age, so he stopped giving them living expenses after they came of age.”
“After Dad turned eighteen, he started working and starting his own business. He not only had to support himself, but also his younger brother. Later, Dad seized a good opportunity, successfully started his own business, and accumulated some capital. Later, he met and fell in love with Mom.”
"With the help of the Qin family in the capital, Dad's career became more and more successful, and he became one of the four major families in the capital. Not only is Second Uncle lazy and gluttonous, but every time he comes, he causes chaos in the house."
Shi Han didn't want to talk to Shi Xi about these things, but she still wanted Shi Xi to know that some people have black hearts.
Shi Xi nodded understandingly, instantly realizing why Shi Han disliked Shi Hongming's family so much. "I understand, Second Uncle is jealous."
