"Are you..." My uncle looked around and asked, "Are you celebrating the holiday in advance?"
"No, we are joking." Gu Xiaoai smiled awkwardly, walked to the sofa with her uncle's arm in her arms, and said to Len, "Why don't you call someone?"
"Hello, uncle——"
Len nodded very politely.
"Be good, be good." His uncle held up a large box of railway toys and handed it to him, "My uncle gave it to you."
"Thank you, uncle."
Len still likes Ye Yongcheng very much.
The maids quickly cleaned the feathers on the sofa as quickly as possible. Gu Xiaoai helped her uncle sit down and said to the maid, "Prepare dinner. My uncle is eating here."
"Yes, ma'am."
"No, Xiao Ai, I won't eat here. I'll leave as soon as I finish speaking." Uncle said quickly.
"Why?"
"You also know your aunt's temper. I don't even know how to say good things to her." The uncle sighed.
"..."
Gu Xiao Aimo, since she subsidized her uncle and her uncle's family's financial situation has improved a lot, her aunt has become suspicious. She always felt that her uncle would go out and cause trouble, so she checked on her every day.
Li Juefeng sat down on the sofa opposite them, and his mother stood behind him and brushed the feathers off his short hair.
"Juefeng." My uncle smiled politely at Li Juefeng.
Li Juefeng raised his head sternly and uttered two words in a low voice, "Uncle."
"Mr. Li, Madam, uncle, let's have tea."
The maid brought up three cups of scented tea, a set of Western-style palace porcelain cups with complicated patterns.
"I'm here today to return something like this to you." The uncle took out a check from his pocket and spread it flat on the coffee table in front of him. He said with some guilt and shame, "Juefeng, no matter what my wife says in the future, just tell me
Don't give her anything you want."
Gu Xiaoai looked at the check in shock. The amount on it was a huge amount of money.
Auntie went to ask Li Juefeng for money?!
Auntie always only cares about her asking for money, so why did she reach out to Li Juefeng?
Li Juefeng disliked this kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law thing the most. Whenever his aunt started complaining, she would just keep pouring out the beans.
Why didn't Li Juefeng tell her?
"Nothing, she likes a house in Western District and wants to buy it." Li Juefeng glanced down at the check and said coldly.
"I know what my wife is like. She is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. You cannot let her go."
The uncle said with shame.
"It doesn't cost me much to raise your family." Li Juefeng said bluntly, his dark eyes were deep and he didn't care at all.
Although Li Juefeng's tone was not sarcastic at all, even Gu Xiaoai felt a little uncomfortable after hearing it.
"This is not a matter of spending more and less." The uncle's face immediately changed, and then he said in a serious voice, "Xiao Ai has been with me since she was ten years old. I treat her as my own daughter. I am not selling my daughter. I allow it.
When you two get married, it’s because Xiao Ai wants to marry you, not because your family is extremely wealthy, not because I want to get benefits!"
"..."
Li Juefeng's face darkened and he stared at Ye Yongcheng's fat face with his dark eyes without saying anything.
"Uncle, don't be like this..." Gu Xiaoai hugged Ye Yongcheng's arm and said with a smile, "We are a family and don't need to be so clear-cut. This money should be regarded as filial piety from Li Juefeng and I."
"That won't work!" My uncle looked at Li Juefeng coldly, "If my uncle is greedy, others will feel that you owe him, and they will be able to bully you with confidence!"
