Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea)

Chapter 384

When I saw the stack of paper taken out by my uncle, I finally understood the meaning of his eyes just now. The pile of paper was not something else, but something similar to a contract.

I took a quick look at the contents of the article and a thought flashed through my mind. "I'm willing to give a million yuan to my uncle and his family..." As for the rest, I didn't even need to look to know what it was.

"Chelsea, you know that our family's salary is not very good. Although your uncle's salary is supporting the family, I am also taking care of Jiayi. In order to make her have a better future, I have put in a lot of effort!"

Looking at her aunt's aggrieved and excited face and listening to her say everything she had done for the family, I just wanted to ask her, "What did you do?"

Since I was a child, I had only seen my uncle work hard for the family. He went out early and went home late to earn money in order to let his aunt and Jiayi live a good life. When he came back from work, he had to remember to cook for them, because they couldn't cook at all.

"Not only can she not cook, but she can't even do any housework. I don't know whether she can't cook or she can't be bothered to do it. How can such a aunt be so shameless to tell me that she has done everything for the family?"

"When my mother was hospitalized, what did my uncle's family do? They avoided my phone and didn't answer it. They insisted on taking care of me when I was a child so that I could remember it for the rest of my life."

Aunt saw that I didn't speak for a long time, so she slightly leaned to the side and gave her uncle a look. Then her uncle stood up and said, "Your mother is dead now, and you will get married in the future. The money of that house just happened to stay behind to make your dowry."

"But you have written that I should give you a million yuan. How can you stay here as my dowry?" I said with a chuckle.

His uncle opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his aunt had already blocked him behind. She directly grabbed my hand and explained with a happy expression, "Chelsea, think about it. The area of that house is so big, and the compensation will definitely not only be this one million yuan, but the rest of the money will still be yours."

"What's more, uncle and aunt are your relatives. How could they cheat you? When the time comes, we will also give you a red packet, and we will definitely give you a big one!" aunt added, with a smile on her face. It could be seen that she was very happy now.

Of course she was happy. After all, her niece's money would soon be in her pocket. How could she not be happy?

"If it were me in the past, I would definitely refuse without hesitation. But now, I just don't want to refuse directly. I just want to spoil my uncle’s family's appetite."

I lowered my head awkwardly and thought for a moment. Then I looked at the contract on the table and said in a low voice, "Can you let me go back and think about it? I can't make up my mind in a short time."

"How can this work?" Aunt cried out in surprise.

Pretending to be frightened, I took a few steps back and said uneasily, "I have no choice but to make a decision suddenly."

"Have you forgotten how uncle treated you when you were a child? You and your mother used to look after us. Now that we are in trouble, you don't want to help us at all?" Aunt listed out the past one by one.

"According to my aunt's words, I understand that she must have been preparing for this for a long time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said it in such an orderly way."

I looked at my uncle, aunt, and Ning Jiayi's faces one by one, and finally stopped at my uncle's face. "I remember that my mother paid for living expenses every month."

"Your living expenses?" Aunt repeated and immediately explained, "At that time, how much money did your mother have? How much money could we pay for your living expenses? No matter what, it was all our hard work."

Aunt had repeatedly emphasized their hard work. There was only one meaning in her words, which was that she hoped that I could put in more effort into taking care of me, and then willingly give them the money.

But how could there be such a good thing in the world? I'm not blind.

Instead of answering Aunt's question, I tilted my head to look at my uncle and asked word by word, "Uncle, you are my mother's brother. My mother trusted you when she entrusted me to you. Thank you for taking care of me."

"But don't worry about this compensation." I smiled and pushed the contract on the table to them.

Ning Jiayi, who had been standing behind, rushed up and rebuked loudly, "What right do you have to refuse? If it weren't for my family's care for you, how could you have the chance to stand here? Don't be shameless!"

"Am I? It's you who's shouting at me. I don't think you're shameless," I replied with a smile. Maybe it was my smile that irritated Ning Jiayi. She rushed up and raised her hand to hit me. I wanted to block it with my hand, but she put down her hand again when she saw her big belly.

Even if they were heartless to me, it was impossible for me to be unjust. Ning Jiayi and I were sisters after all. How could I bear to let her lose the baby in her belly? In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through my mind. Finally, I closed my eyes and waited quietly.

Pa!

The pain in my face sobered me up, and the sound of a slap was still echoing in my ears. Before I could open my eyes, I heard Ning Jiayi say, "This slap is to let you know how grateful you are. Now you know that you have done something wrong!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

This time, I didn't even open my eyes and waited for the pain to come.

"What are you doing?"

I was stunned for a moment. When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw that Ning Jiayi's wrist was grabbed by someone, and she was glaring at that person angrily. Her uncle and aunt obviously did not wake up from the sudden appearance of this person.

I thought that some passers-by couldn't stand it anymore and came to stop me, but I felt a little embarrassed at the same time.

"You just stood there and got beaten. Are you stupid or crazy? Why didn't I see you being so easy to bully in the past? Is this still you, Chelsea?"

Hearing the familiar voice, I paused and turned to look at the person beside me in surprise. "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? I told you to wait for me in the cafe, but you came here to be beaten. Are you really capable?" Gao Yang looked at me with a funny smile.

Only then did I remember the reason why I appeared in the shopping center when I was at work. If Gao Yang hadn't asked me to wait here, this series of things wouldn't have happened, so I didn't have a good attitude to him.

"You changed so fast?" Gao Yang asked in an exaggerated tone.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now." I didn't look at him, but looked at the family of three in front of me.

Ning Jiayi looked very angry. Her aunt was trying to calm her down, but her uncle, who I had always regarded as the closest person, stood beside them with a humble face.

Seeing this scene, I felt distressed and angry.
