The plan had come to fruition, and was just in
the last stages.
I calmly swirled my coffee.
Yup, Mikey would inherit the company, but in
the meantime, what were they going to do
with their son?
When Aunt Carol came over, she brought a
bunch of gifts.
She couldn’t hide the triumphant look in her
eyes.
“Don’t be mad, Mom. Your brother felt sorry for our family. I heard you and Lisa argued?
I’m to blame.
“”
Mom wasn’t as nice as before. “Don’t worry.
It’s a small project. He spoils his cat, and that
doesn’t bother me too much.”
<
Aunt Carol looked upset and sighed. “I know
you don’t like our family, but we are family
after all, why do you care so much?”
I didn’t want to say anything, and motioned
for the maid to serve tea.
Aunt Carol lurched forward, hitting the maid
and spilling tea all over her shirt.
“I’m poor, so you bully me! You workers look
down on me!”
Mom told the maid to go back to her room,
watched Aunt Carol’s performance, and didn’t
say anything.
She said that for a long time, but eventually,
she got mad.
“Do you think that you’re having it too
rough?”
She nodded. “Your nephew has no skills, and
your brother is too nice, so he got him a job.”
“But there are now more people to take care
of, so I asked your brother, he’s a nice guy,
don’t blame him.”
Before she could finish, Dad barged in.
“What are you doing? Bullying others when
I’m not around?”
Aunt Carol started sobbing. “It’s that your
brother is too poor, so we have to rely on
others.”
Dad comforted her. “Don’t say that, you’re all
く
family. What do you need, Linhao can have
it!”
Wow, was Jake’s going to fly straight into the
clouds.
Mom stood up and interrupted him. “The
company isn’t yours alone. I’m not dead! If
you want to have him promoted, you can, but
divorce me. And I’m willing to let you have
everything.”
Dad’s face changed and he left without
saying another word.
Aunt Carol was stunned, and had people bring
her child.
Jake brought the kid.
<
I was shocked.
The kid was skinnier, and he was wearing a
robe.
Aunt Carol rolled up her sleeves and slapped
the child. “You little beast, because of you, I
was being scolded!”
Mom closed her eyes.
Damn, I’m so ruthless.
His dad stood nearby, not caring, who knows
what he thinks!
Aunt Carol put the child in front. “You can hit
him to let off steam, I won’t say anything.
Just hit him!”
<
Mom didn’t want to. “You can really hit him.
You have more heart than I do.”
Aunt Carol smiled, and raised her hand again.
I blocked her, she couldn’t move, and yelled:
“I’m a dog! I’m bad to Lin’s family! I’m going
to beat him to death!”
Jake just stood there, and did nothing.
He thought that this wasn’t his son.
Aunt Carol caused the baby to cry, and the
maid heard the sound and was sad when she
looked at the baby.
My heart was complex.
