I can support you.

Wang Manqing suddenly changed her expression to a warm one and moved closer:

"Pian Pian, look at your luck, it's really God chasing you and feeding you! I was wrong before, I spoke a little harshly, please don't take it to heart."

She took Xue Pianpian's hand and shook it gently.

"Well, since you're such a great stock trader, could you give me some advice? I have some spare cash, but the interest rate in the bank is too low..."

Li Hongmei also nodded quickly:

"That's right, we're all relatives, so we can make money together.

Pianpian, look at how tight my aunt's life is. If you can give me some advice, I'll remember you for the rest of my life."

Xue Pianpian pulled her hand back, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table, with a hint of amusement in her smile:

"Stock trading? That won't do."

She looked at the two people's faces that instantly fell, and slowly added,

"I bought all that blindly, based entirely on my feelings. How could I dare to play with you? If I lose, won't my aunt block my door and scold me every day?"

Wang Manqing's face turned red and white, and Li Hongmei shut up awkwardly. The living room suddenly became so quiet that only the sound of her cousin's husband drinking tea could be heard.

He Yuling looked at this scene, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she spoke slowly:

"It's getting late, we should go back."

Li Hongmei, Wang Manqing, and her cousin's husband all had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

For the first time, Li Hongmei calmed down in front of her cousin He Yuling and said in a flattering tone:

"Sister Yuling, I was ignorant before. You are my elder sister, so please don't hold it against me!

You see, Manqing and Pianpian are of the same age, and we are relatives, so we should let them interact more in the future, don’t you think? "

He Yuling picked up the teacup, touched her lips lightly with the rim of the cup, and glanced at Li Hongmei lightly:

"It's natural for relatives to interact with each other, but that interaction must be comfortable. If it always makes one party feel upset, it's better not to interact at all."

These words were like a fine needle, gently pricking Li Hongmei's face. The flattering expression on her face froze, and her hands unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes.

Wang Manqing quickly tried to smooth things over and moved closer to Xue Pianpian:

"Aunt Yuling is right! I will definitely be closer to Pianpian in the future. I was narrow-minded and spoke without restraint before. Pianpian, please don't take it to heart."

Xue Pianpian smiled but didn't respond. She tapped her fingertips on the table a few times. She listened to her mother.

My cousin's husband finally put down his teacup and coughed twice:

"Sister Yuling, Hongmei is also straightforward and has no bad intentions. Children are young, and bumps and bruises are inevitable. Please bear with me in the future."

As he said this, he winked at Li Hongmei.

Li Hongmei immediately walked down the stairs, forcing a smile:

"That's right, I'm a straightforward person, and I actually love the younger generation the most."

He Yuling stood up and said indifferently:

"Okay, I have the affection of my aunt and uncle for you. Just don't be so superficial in the future. I won't bother with you too much. We should go now. You can go do your own things."

Li Hongmei nodded repeatedly, her brows lowered. The three of them respectfully escorted the mother and daughter to the elevator. He Yuling repeatedly refused their enthusiasm to continue escorting them out, and the three of them finally gave up the idea.

Going downstairs and getting in the car, Xue Pianpian couldn't help laughing so hard that she fell backwards.

"Mom, you weren't the kind of person who liked to show off before! What's wrong with you today? Why did you think of showing off your wealth to someone else's house?"

He Yuling rolled her eyes at her daughter.

"Am I showing off my wealth? I just can't stand Li Hongmei's scornful, sarcastic, and mean face. Don't you remember how she treated me when our family wasn't well off?

The most infuriating thing is that she called me yesterday and was showing off all sorts of things. I was so mad that I decided to come over and give her a good beating. Let’s see if she dares to get angry again!”

Xue Pianpian blinked mischievously and said seriously:

"You should ask your aunt and younger aunt to come over as well. That would make you feel better."

He Yuling disapproved:

"We're not here to fight her, so why do we need so many people? Besides, she only targeted me before. Your uncle and aunt are not too bad, so she didn't really pick a fight with them! There's no need for them to offend others."

Xue Pianpian said thoughtfully:

"Mom, I think the reason why your cousin is targeting you is not just because our family is poorer than hers, but there is another very important reason, that is, you are prettier than her, and she is jealous of you, so she wants to surpass you in other aspects."

He Yuling was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Girl, you've made such a logical analysis. But you do have a point. When we were young, she loved to compete with me, but I didn't take it too seriously."

Xue Pianpian said with a smile:

"Mom, this is a dimensionality reduction attack. She is just asking for trouble by competing with you."

He Yuling smiled and patted Xue Pianpian's head gently.

"You're the only one who talks too much. But this trip has finally let me vent all the anger I've been feeling for years."

Xue Pianpian's eyes rolled and she continued:

"Mom, maybe my cousins ​​will come looking for us in the future. After all, they know we are rich now."

He Yuling snorted.

"If they come to us again, we have to be careful. If they really want to improve their relationship, we can give them a way out. But if they just want to take advantage of us, then no."

Xue Pianpian nodded repeatedly in a very servile manner.

"My mother is right! Dear mother, what are your plans next? Should we go home or go shopping?"

He Yuling looked happy.

"Go home. It's hot now. Come out at night and call your aunt and uncle."

Xue Pianpian started the car as instructed and prepared to return to the villa.

Not long after they walked, they received a call from Ye Fengning. She told Xue Pianpian that the final transaction price of Zhao Zhengxiong's 10% stake in Haoting Group was 60 billion yuan. This was Zhao Zhengxiong's last bottom line after he was caught and had to make concessions. The contract would be signed at the Mingxin Hotel where Xue Pianpian had stayed before, at : in the evening.

As soon as she got home, Xue Pianpian vividly told Wu Meng and He Yujiao what happened that afternoon.

Although Wu Meng also thought it was funny, she didn't show any obvious reaction. But He Yujiao was different. She laughed happily for a long time before she said to He Yuling with regret:

"Sister, why didn't you call me? I really want to see Li Hongmei's frustrated expression in person. She doesn't dare to offend my sister-in-law, but she always attacks me and belittles me!"

Xue Pianpian patted her shoulder and comforted her:

"From now on, she will be the only one to curry favor with us, aunt. If she dares to say something unpleasant again, just give her a hard retort. I'll take care of everything for you."

He Yujiao laughed out loud.

"Okay! With my Pian Pian here, I can stand up straight from now on."

Wu Meng smiled and agreed:

"Of course, I have someone with a strong backing from now on. I won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but I'm definitely not afraid of it either."

He Yuling looked at her younger siblings and younger sister with pride, and suddenly remembered something:

"Yujiao, isn't Second Aunt's eightieth birthday coming up soon?"

He Yujiao slapped her head:

"Oh, it really is! It's on the tenth of next month. In previous years, when we went there, the sons and daughters of Second Aunt's family always looked down on us. This year, we must show our respect."

He Yuling sighed and said:

“It’s not their fault actually.

Our parents passed away early, leaving us three sisters so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat. Our second uncle's family wasn't doing well either, but he and his aunt were kind and always tried to make sure we had something to eat, so Yuqing and the others wouldn't have to eat much. I guess they've always disliked us since we were little, and this is a grudge that's been building for years.

Now that we have a good life, we must repay our uncle and aunt. As for Yuqing and the other four, as long as they don't go too far, we should be more tolerant."

Xue Pianpian's eyes lit up.

"Mom, aunt, and uncle, we can take advantage of Second Grandma's birthday to show them our current strength.

Furthermore, our second grandparents have been very kind to us, so we should express our gratitude to them fully.”

He Yujiao rubbed her hands excitedly.

"Yes, let's hold a good birthday party for Second Aunt and make the old lady proud."

Wu Meng also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the elderly have suffered for most of their lives. Now that we have this opportunity, we must let them enjoy the glory."

Xue Pianpian thought for a moment and asked:

"Mom, do my second grandpa and second grandma like to listen to opera?"

He Yuling immediately replied:

"Yes, they both love it. Let me tell you, Pianpian, do you know why I like listening to opera so much?"
