The third auntie stared at the protective assistant and narrowed her eyes.
She suddenly pointed her fingers at him.
“You are hired by the Tang Family and yet you are not helping us. Could it be that you are related to the child in her tummy and that the two of you are in collusion? Are the two of you acting together to seize the Tang Family’s inheritance while Yuansi is ill?”
The color on the assistant’s face changed and he said, “Third Madam, you can’t simply say such things. The baby in Miss Shangxin’s tummy is of no relation to me! Don’t slander us…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Shangxin, who had been stood rooted to the ground the entire time, suddenly grabbed over the check from the second auntie’s hand.
She snickered in a chilly manner.
“Wow, ten million yuan, that’s so generous of you.”
She was a born beauty. When she stayed silent, she seemed just like a neighborhood girl with the peaceful aura around her and people tended to neglect her beauty as a result.
However, the men present could not help it and drew in a deep breath when she smiled.
They nearly went cross-eyed!
The faces of the second and third aunties darkened the moment they witnessed how easy it was for the men in their household to be attracted to someone else.
They gave them a push with their elbows.
The second and third uncles collected their thoughts immediately as they let out two coughs to suppress the awkwardness on their faces.
The look of disdain in the third auntie’s gaze appeared to be even more obvious when she saw Shangxin accepting the money.
“I’m glad that you know you are not worth such an amount. I’ve taken into account that you have been taking good care of Yuansi; otherwise, do you think that you would be qualified enough to even speak to us…”
Swish!
Shangxin tore the check in her hand into pieces as the second auntie continued to ramble on in contempt.
She threw the ripped pieces into her face.
The corner of Shangxin’s mouth curved into an arc. Then, she walked to the stunned second auntie and spoke with a pause after every word.
“I am very clear how much the Tang Family is worth, way more than you are. The villa right in front of us is already worth more than ten million. The more you are afraid of me snatching the Tang Family’s inheritance, the more I want to stay behind. I would let you all have a taste of having nothing to your name if Tang Yuansi is hurt in any way!”
“How great! You finally revealed your wild schemes out. You got together with Yuansi simply because you yearn to possess the Tang Family’s inheritance! You’re such an evil woman with rapacious thoughts, we would never allow you to continue staying in the Tang Family!”
With a face red from rage, the second auntie of the Tang Family started to play the blame game and howled.
Everyone in front of Shangxin claimed that whatever they’ve done was for the sake of Tang Yuansi. For the first time, Shangxin felt so grossed out that she wanted to puke as she saw the true colors behind their hypocritical faces.
She pressed her hand against her chest and started to retch.
She had just straightened her body when the second auntie seemed to have thought of something as she started to bare her fangs and brandish her claws.
She spoke gleefully.
“Don’t assume that we are unable to do anything about you if you refuse to leave. Even though we could not manage to persuade Yuansi, someone else definitely could! If Yuansi’s adoptive parents knew of his current condition, they would not allow such a woman as you to stay by his side!”
What?
“I’ll be honest with you. Not only are Yuansi’s adoptive parents around, but he also has a very powerful Uncle Shang. He has got connections in both the black society as well as in proper business. If he knew that someone dared to plot against Yuansi’s inheritance, you can forget about living in this world, let alone the baby in your tummy!”
Shangxin stared at her and asked with a dazed look, “Uncle Shang?”
Her father?
The second auntie noticed her strange expression and took it that she was intimidated. Then, she became absolutely unstrained and continued to put Shang Lingsi’s name on the line.
“Yes! Shang Lingsi from City S has watched Yuansi grow up from a little boy. Marriages in wealthy families pay particular attention to well-matched social statuses, but what could such a slutty woman like you offer? Once Shang Lingsi knows about everything, you will be doomed before we could lay our hands on you!”
