Translator: 549690339
Qiao Yin could only apologize to Aunt Wu first. Once Aunt Wu had left, she finally closed the door.
She turned around, looking at the old woman and three unfamiliar “sisters” with a grave expression.
Dou Yuemei, however, ignored her dark look and excitedly introduced her granddaughters to her: “Yinyin, this is your second uncle’s eldest daughter, Lainan. She’s twenty-two now, and you’ve met her when you both were children. Lainan has been beautiful since she was a little girl, and now she has grown up to be even more charming and delicate!”
Qiao Lainan softly called her, “Cousin, it’s been so many years since we last saw each other. You’ve become so beautiful. I hope we’re not causing you any inconvenience by coming here.”
Dou Yuemei seemed very pleased with this granddaughter. She patted her approvingly on the back, then shifted her attention to the next: “This is your second uncle’s second daughter, Zhaonan, twenty years old. You’ve met her when you were little too.”
Qiao Zhaonan had a loud voice and spoke in a forthright manner, “Cousin, why didn’t you open the door for us earlier? You left us standing outside for so long. That was too much! Do you think we’re beneath you because we’re poor relatives? Huh, you city people are always so snobbish!”
Qiao Yin’s response was icy: “If I don’t want to open the door or allow you in, what’s it to you? If you think I’m being unreasonable, you can leave. Why don’t you?”
Zhaonan looked at her with disbelief: “My God, you really have no shame. How can you make shamelessness seem so natural? We came all this way to see you and this is the trashy attitude we get?”
“Did I ask you to come see me? We’ve been out of touch for so many years, and suddenly you show up uninvited?”
Qiao Yin looked at Dou Yuemei, “You don’t seriously think that by bringing all these people you can take my house from me? Let me tell you, there’s absolutely no chance of that happening.”
This time, Dou Yuemei was smart enough not to retort, to avoid getting another jab that would leave her helpless again.
She quickly tried to defuse the situation: “Ah, what nonsense are you saying? Why would we want to take your house? We just came to visit you, we’re family, after all, it’s only right that we should visit one another more often.”
As she spoke, she pulled over the youngest girl and introduced her: “This is your second uncle’s third daughter, Denan, she’s only sixteen. You haven’t met her before, but now that you have, you two should get to know each other more. And, from now on, you should take good care of your three sisters, got it?”
Qiao Yin sneered, “I can’t handle that. You’d better take them to my dad instead. Why should he, being their uncle, not take care of his nieces, and yet I should?”
“Oh dear, isn’t your dad busy? He’s got business negotiations to handle. How could he have time to take care of his nieces? You, being their older cousin, it’s only right that you should look after them a little!”
“He’s gone bankrupt, what does he have to be busy with? He has plenty of leisure time to drink with his buddies. Just go and find him!”
“It’s precisely because he’s gone bankrupt that he has to go around seeking business partnerships! Your dad has always had a knack for business, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to establish such a sizable company.”
“If he truly had a knack for business, the company wouldn’t have gone bankrupt! The company was only able to get off the ground because my mom backed him with her various prescriptions!”
The minute Qiao Yin heard that Qiao Haidong was planning on entering a business collaboration, alarm bells went off in her head. He was bankrupt; who would be willing to collaborate with him unless he was planning on trading some of her interests.
Qiao Denan suddenly spoke up, “Cousin, if you can help me find a job in the city, one that pays well, I’ll tell you what kind of business Eldest Uncle is planning to get into.”
Dou Yuemei smacked her hard, causing Denan to stumble and almost fall over.
She chided, “You’re nothing but a young girl! How would you know what business your Eldest Uncle is planning to do? Don’t be always showing off your little smarts here and stop talking nonsense!”
Qiao Denan didn’t seem to react much to the slap. She was evidently used to it. Despite that, she persisted, “I really do know what business Uncle plans to do. I’m not making things up! But this information, cousin, you’ll have to trade something for it. I’m not going to tell you for nothing..”
