Zhou Yuntang couldn't help but curse in his heart: Is Ji Jingyao crazy? Doesn't he know Shi Miao? Why is he standing up for Shi Miao? Doesn't he care about the social etiquette in his circle at all?
In a circle like theirs, no matter how bad the relationship is, they will try to gloss over it on the surface to avoid being laughed at, and their words will be even more tactful and roundabout.
He could feel the sharp eyes his two uncles were looking at him at the moment. He forced a smile and said, "Miaomiao is certainly not that kind of person. I'm just worried that someone will take her words out of context and misunderstand her after the banquet, so I want to ask clearly."
Shi Miao's face was full of trust, and her expression looked as sincere as it could be. "Brother is not that kind of person. Brother loves us sisters very much."
Wen Chenghan immediately said from the side: "Yes, Yuntang also said that he would give Miaomiao the two shops on Nanhua Road."
Wen Chenghan couldn't fail to see Yun Tang's attempt to pin the blame on Miao Miao. He grew increasingly disappointed with his nephew and decided to use this opportunity to make him bleed. The two shops were given to Yun Tang by his sister when he came of age. Because of their prime location and large size, both were worth over 20 million yuan.
Zhou Yuntang, who had originally thought he had gotten through this hurdle successfully, felt a lump in his throat, nearly spitting out blood. He had intended to give the two shops to Manman to open a business, as they were suitable in every way. But with just one move from his uncle, they became Shi Miao's.
This wave of backstabbing from his uncle made him furious, but in front of everyone, he couldn't say it was fake. He didn't want to give in at all, so he had to force himself to swallow this loss. He didn't understand. He was his uncle's biological nephew. Did Shi Miao put some kind of curse on his uncle?
He could only force a smile, "In my heart, Miaomiao and Yanzi are the same, so giving them as many gifts as possible is justified."
Ji Jingyao looked at Zhou Yuntang's insincere expression and smiled, "As a brother, the gifts from two stores are still a bit meager."
After saying this, Ji Jingyao turned and left.
If the person standing in front of him was not Ji Jingyao, Zhou Yuntang would have wanted to tear off his face that was so carefree while standing and talking.
Shi Miao, who now has a large amount of assets under his name, no longer despises Ji Jingyao. The other party is clearly the God of Wealth who came to give him money!
And Zhou Yuntang was also stupid. How could his uncle let him bully her in public? This time, he was the one who offered himself up.
This interaction might have fooled the other guests, but it couldn't fool Zhou Man. Zhou Man knew all too well that her brother had a bad impression of Shi Miao. The gift he prepared for Shi Miao was just a few designer bags—and they weren't even limited editions. It was clear that her uncle was deliberately using her brother's money to subsidize Shi Miao. Her uncle actually went this far...
This is something that cannot be explained by the two reasons of getting along or repaying a favor.
She felt that it was more likely that Shi Miao was the real daughter of the Zhou family. Especially the way her two uncles looked at Shi Miao was full of love.
At this moment, Chen Qian was also shouting over there. He patted Zhou Yuntang's shoulder vigorously and said, "We have a tacit understanding. The gifts we gave were all shops, but my shop is not as good as yours."
He mentioned the gift he had given, and the other guests were amazed. Even if Chen Qian's two shops were not as good as Zhou Yuntang, they were still worth tens of millions combined. With Li Yanran in front and Chen Qian behind, why were they both so nice to Shi Miao?
Chen Qian still felt that this gift was not enough. Shi Miao's amulet saved his life, and he later sent him five amulets - Chen Qian took two and gave them to his father, who wore them every day.
Someone asked Shen Qian, "I think you are so attentive because sister Miaomiao is pretty, right?"
Chen Qian was very generous to his previous girlfriends. So some people speculated that he was attracted to Shi Miao and wanted to pursue her.
Chen Qian, who was patting Zhou Yuntang, retracted his hand and quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense, Sister Miaomiao's pure reputation cannot be tarnished by me. I am not worthy of her. In my heart, she is my half-sister!"
He spoke with great force, and everyone could hear the sincerity in his words.
"Does your dad know that you have a sister outside?" joked the rich kid who was on good terms with him.
Chen Qian grinned happily, "If I can make him my sister, my dad said he would reward me with 5% of the company's shares."
What he said was true. A master of metaphysics as capable as Shi Miao had always been a guest of honor in the circle. His father was eager for it.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the guests were shocked.
Not only the Wen family, but even the Li family and the Shen family think so highly of Shi Miao, which forces them to elevate Shi Miao's status in their hearts even higher.
Chen Qian also said to Zhou Yuntang, "I really envy you for having a good uncle with good vision, and also having a good sister like Miaomiao. Oh, you are really lucky."
Zhou Yuntang saw Shi Miao so successful, and Chen Qian even resorted to pulling himself down to elevate him.
“You, you…”
He couldn't hold it in, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhou Yuntang's words startled Wen Chenghan and Wang Hui. Although they had some opinions about his recent foolish behavior, he was their nephew after all, so how could they not hope for his best?
Zhou Man, who was originally having a sweet time with her fiancé, let out a cry of grief when she saw this scene. She rushed over and tears immediately fell, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
The Zhou family members were all at a loss as to what to do when they saw this scene. Zhou Liuan, who had taken some time off to come today, hated Shi Miao even more. In his opinion, his brother vomited blood because he was angry at Shi Miao.
