Chapter 46

“Little girl, open your eyes wide and take a good look. How could she be your VIP customer here? Are you not fully awake yet or what?” Second Aunt couldn\'t help laughing twice, as if she had just heard a joke.

“Madam, I won\'t make a mistake. Ms. Qiao is indeed our hotel\'s VIP.” The waiter replied with a smile.

“Open the wine.” Qiao Ying told the waiter to open the wine.

“Alright.” The waiter opened the wine and took a wine glass, about to pour for Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying raised her hand to stop him.

Qiao Ying took the wine, reached out past Qiao Yi, and placed a barely touched bottle of red wine in front of Qiao\'s father.

She said, "After working hard for half of your life, it\'s time to drink something nice."

Qiao Ying didn\'t drink any herself. It wasn\'t that she was very filial, she simply found the wine so unpalatable that she didn\'t even have the urge to wet her lips. What\'s more, she really couldn\'t stand the mean faces of these so-called relatives acting all high and mighty.

They think of themselves as upper class, but in reality they\'re just petty clowns.

Qiao\'s father, who was stunned by the waiter\'s sudden "Ms. Qiao", looked at the frighteningly expensive red wine Qiao Ying had placed in front of him and waved his hands in refusal, stammering "...Dad, Dad won\'t drink it." He didn\'t dare touch it at all.

How much did the waiter say this wine cost?

Eighty-seven thousand?

Qiao\'s father even wondered if the money they used was the same as his. His muddled mind looked at Qiao Ying perplexedly until Qiao Lingling asked the question on his mind for him.

"Little Yi, have you eaten here before?" Qiao Lingling asked.

"My sister brought me here before." Qiao Yi replied. After a brief pause, he couldn\'t help adding, "We were in a private room upstairs."

Just how much money does this damn fatty Qiao Ying have? Brand name clothes, shoes, new phone, new computer, medicine worth tens of thousands, and she even had enough money to eat at a place like this and buy wine worth several thousand. She didn\'t even finish drinking it and just threw it away. Even the richest Third Uncle in the family doesn\'t act like her.

The more Qiao Lingling thought about it, the more unpleasant she felt.

"Oh my, big brother and sister-in-law, where did you strike gold without telling us? You\'ve gotten rich but kept it from your own family. That\'s not treating us like family at all!" Second Aunt immediately questioned.

"We didn\'t strike gold. What riches could we possibly obtain? It was their children who ate here before, I\'ve never been." Qiao\'s father answered honestly.

"The children? Where do these children get so much money?" Second Aunt glanced at Qiao Ying with narrowed eyes. "Youngsters these days, it\'s fine to be poor, but don\'t go stealing or doing illegal things that would ruin our reputation too."

"How funny. When you have money it\'s from doing business, but when we have money it must be from stealing or illegal acts. Why, are only you allowed to get rich? Are we doomed to be poor for life?" Li Lilian\'s mouth has never suffered losses. She immediately fired back.

"Sister-in-law, look at my loose mouth, I just don\'t know how to speak properly. But, big brother and sister-in-law, if you have this opportunity to get rich, why don\'t you think of your own family? Making money, we should all earn it together. Remember how I even lent money to Little Ying before to pay her school fees?" Second Aunt complained with implications while also trying to take advantage of them.

Qiao\'s father: "Well..."

Seeing that Qiao\'s father was unwilling to speak, Second Aunt continued, "Big brother, of you brothers you\'re the most decent. Now that you\'ve earned money, you don\'t even recognize your own brother?"

"That\'s right, big brother." Qiao\'s other brothers all chimed in agreement.

Qiao\'s father laughed helplessly and said, "I don\'t have that ability. Little Ying knows how to use the computer and earned money online. It\'s something for young people that I don\'t understand."

"Earned online, huh..."

"Mom, I want to eat that." At this time, Second Aunt\'s young son climbed onto the chair and stood up, pointing at the pastry in front of Qiao Yi.

"Eat what you\'re eating." Second Aunt dismissed him in an annoyed tone.

Qiao Yi placed the pastry on the lazy susan and spun it in front of Second Aunt\'s son.

The child reached out and started eating it right away.

Seeing this, Qiao\'s father carefully stood up and picked up the frighteningly expensive red wine in front of him. "Come come, let\'s drink together. I\'ll pour for everyone."

"You brothers are all big businessmen, what kind of wine haven\'t you drank? Just don\'t force yourself for our sake, save it for yourself to drink." Qiao Ying interjected indifferently at this time.

Holding the wine, Qiao\'s father stood there awkwardly.

The aunties, upon hearing this, all had expressions like neither their eyes nor noses belonged to them.

Especially Second Aunt. Seeing her son finish one pastry and reach for a second, and also seeing Li Lilian\'s smug attitude, she directly snatched the pastry her son had just grabbed and threw it back onto the plate.

"Do I not feed you enough at home? Ungrateful brat, you need to grow up and make something of yourself." Second Aunt screeched at her son.

The child was only four or five years old. Having his food snatched and getting yelled at made him immediately burst into loud wails.

Second Aunt scolded him even more fiercely.

The angrier she got, the more Second Aunt looked towards the eldest brother\'s family. "Big brother, don\'t blame me for not warning you. Making money online often isn\'t through proper means. Don\'t get tricked in the end. I\'ve heard many young girls these days take nude loans, borrowing hundreds of thousands, and also having rich old men sponsor them. Your Little Ying better not be taking those dirty paths."

Hearing this, Qiao\'s father immediately worried that Qiao Ying was being scammed online.

Qiao Lingling on the other hand wished she could put her hands together and pray that Qiao Ying\'s money was from nude loans.

"Even nude loans and sponsors need to have the looks for it. Old ladies like you with saggy skin and wrinkled faces, no one would want you even for free." Qiao Ying casually retorted.

Having just been angered by Second Aunt\'s words, Qiao Yi couldn\'t help laughing when he heard this.

"How dare you talk like that?!" Second Aunt slammed the table furiously. "So young but learning all the wrong things, proud of taking your clothes off for dirty money, bringing glory to your ancestors for sure. I said you used to be so fat, how did you suddenly transform?"

Second Aunt yelled and shouted, successfully catching Feng Teng\'s attention.

Feng Teng had just entered through the front door and was standing in the lobby, looking at his vexing son loitering outside and clearly reluctant to come in.

Hearing the commotion, Feng Teng reflexively glanced over and saw the crude Second Aunt at a glance.

Feng Teng frowned, just about to look away, when he suddenly noticed a familiar face among the crowd at the table.

As Second Aunt\'s cursing grew more and more vulgar, Li Lilian, who couldn\'t take it anymore, also stood up and started swearing back.

Second Aunt\'s eldest son stood up to defend his mother, pointing at Li Lilian and threatening viciously, "Say one more word about my mom, just try it!"

The fire spread to the surroundings. Qiao\'s second brother helped his wife curse at Qiao Ying, calling her indecent and insisting she earned dirty money taking her clothes off.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. The usually honest and decent Qiao\'s father couldn\'t stand seeing his daughter bullied like this anymore. He slammed the table and shot up, "Little Two, watch what you say!"

Seeing the situation deteriorating, Third Brother\'s family and Fourth Brother\'s family started trying to mediate.

Of course, it goes without saying they naturally took Second Brother\'s side, ganging up against the poorer Eldest Brother\'s family.

Qiao Ying sat expressionlessly in her chair, watching this farcical scene of the Qiao family young and old.

As Second Aunt and Li Lilian\'s cursing grew more and more offensive, the impatience and irritation brewing between Qiao Ying\'s brows intensified further and further until all her emotions peaked.

Right at that moment, an authoritative middle-aged male voice suddenly broke in. "Oh, if it isn\'t Ms. Qiao!"

Wearing a fine suit and leather shoes, square-faced features, slightly overweight, glasses, full of political aura that couldn\'t be suppressed - it was Feng Teng.

Feng Teng\'s appearance instantly defused the situation with barely any effort, quieting down in just three or four seconds.

The Qiao family, upper and lower, shut their mouths and looked towards Feng Teng.

"Mayor Feng." Qiao Yi was anxious, worried a fight might break out soon and his family would suffer. Seeing Feng Teng come, he instantly felt relieved.

"Mayor?" Qiao\'s third brother Qiao Shenxiang blurted out reflexively.

"Mayor?" Second Aunt froze, looking between Qiao Yi and Feng Teng, wondering if she had misheard.

"Qiao, classmate, long time no see." Feng Teng was all smiles, warmly shaking Qiao Yi\'s hand and chumming up to him.

He glanced around at all the curious peering eyes, then smiled and said to Qiao Ying, "Ms. Qiao, what a coincidence running into you here eating too. Why eat in the lobby? I booked a private room upstairs."

Feng Teng warmly invited Qiao Ying to go upstairs and eat together.

"Old Feng, what are you doing, everyone else is here, we\'re just waiting for you," Deputy Mayor Xu said as he came downstairs with his son Xu Mingchen to pick someone up.

Ye\'s father eagerly brought his daughter Ye Jingning downstairs with him too.
