Chapter 112: Supporting Outsiders
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing Tan Ming’s disbelief, Li Mei continued to smile and said, “That auntie even teased you and said you could be her daughter-in-law and let you stay at her house. Who knew that you would agree immediately and even asked me to hurry home to pack clothes to send over to you? Your father and I couldn’t stop you. Later on, we promised to plant a bigger sea of sunflowers at both our houses to coax you home.”
...When Jiang Hai heard this, he recalled the scene at that time and couldn’t help but laugh.
Tan Ming did not expect that she would do such an embarrassing thing when she was young. She held her forehead helplessly. She did not expect that her love for sunflowers had started at such a young age. Her love for them was really deep!
There was also a two-story bungalow in the backyard. That was where Jiang Hai’s parents lived before they passed away. It was cleaned every day and still maintained its original appearance.
They had woken up early in the morning, packed up, taken a plane, and strolled around the villa for so long. It was already 3 PM. Tan Ming could not help but cover her mouth and yawn.
Seeing this, Li Mei urged, “Hurry up and take a nap.”
Since there was nothing to do in the afternoon, there was no need for Tan Ming to resist her sleepiness. She rubbed her eyes and said, “Dad, Mom, I’ll go to bed first. You guys should rest soon too.”
Then, the family returned to the main building.
Tan Ming was not the only one who received the news of her aunt’s return. Tan Si’s family was also there.
When Tan Si heard the news, she was very happy. “I was wondering how to sort out the jewelry designs when I get married. It’s great that Aunt is back! She’s now a world-renowned top jewelry designer. Designers of their level charge expensive fees. Not to mention the handicraft fees, just the design fees alone are worth millions. Coupled with the handicraft and materials fees, the final product will be sky-high. Now that I have this relationship, everything will be easy!”
Wang Li was looking at her manicure that she had just completed under the light. When she heard Tan Si’s words, she snorted coldly. “She’s a person who supports outsiders. Do you still expect her to help you work for free?”
Seeing her mother pour cold water on her, Tan Si’s expression instantly fell. She pouted and said, “It wasn’t easy for me to take a few days off from the production team to go home. Can you not be such a Debbie Downer?”
“Besides, I have an aunt like that. If word gets out, others will think highly of me. Those people in the entertainment industry are used to flattering the strong and stepping on the weak. However, once you can be associated with the fashion industry, they will immediately look at you with fawning eyes.”
When Wang Li saw her daughter’s gloomy expression, she put her hand down and gently hit Tan Si’s hand. She scolded softly, “You ingrate. You’re giving me an attitude after saying a few words that make you unhappy. Don’t you know what your aunt is like? She’s as heartless as that little b*tch.”
“She took our family’s money and went overseas for treatment. Other than sending us a message when she arrived, she disappeared the rest of the time. She hasn’t contacted us for so many years, only contacting us now when she’s gotten back!”
Tan Si was too impatient to listen to these past grievances. She changed the topic and talked about her plans. “It’s Aunt’s birthday in a few days. I plan to go to Xiyun to buy a piece of good material for her and curry favor her first. Jewelry masters like them have a lot of good stuff.”
“As long as she’s happy, I’ll slowly get those good things out of her hands. I’ll let her work and make a set of peerless jewelry for me as my dowry. Anyway, she can’t give birth and doesn’t have children. Those things will get dusty. If she treats me better now, in the future, I’ll still visit her grave during Qingming Festival. I’ll pay my respects to her so that her grave won’t be lonely.”
The more Tan Si spoke, the more smug she became. Wang Li pondered for a moment after listening to her. After a while, she nodded and said, “Now that you mention it, we really have to give her some gifts that she’ll appreciate. It’s indeed beneficial for us to build a good relationship with her. She can be at the top of this industry and know many rich people. She might be able to introduce a lot of business to our family.”
Seeing that her mother had finally figured it out, Tan Si rolled her eyes unhappily. Then, her expression changed in a millisecond. She held Wang Li’s arm solicitously and looked at her with her big eyes. She said coquettishly, “Mom, don’t you have to sponsor me with some money?”
Wang Li looked at her daughter’s coquettish and cute appearance and did not agree immediately. Instead, she asked, “You spent it all again? You earn a lot of money from work.. Where did you spend it all?”
