Chapter 60: No One Bullied People Like This

Jian Ai was never talented at playing games. Since it was just an entertainment project, there was no need for her to use her mental cultivation techniques. Even so, Jian Ai was still very happy. It was pure joy, one that was carefree and without any burden.
At this time, the three girls were playing Whack-a-Mole with a plastic hammer each. In the distance, Lin Yi’s gaze landed on the side of Jian Ai’s face. The lights of the gaming city shone on her snow-like side profile, making her shine. Her flowing eyes seemed to have specks of light. Her smile was like a flower, magnificent and unknowingly blooming.
When she reached home, it was already almost eight in the evening. Jian Ai pushed the door open and saw Wang Yunmei sitting on the sofa. She couldn’t help but be stunned. However, before she could say anything, Jian Ai saw another two people seated on the other end of the sofa.
The man looked to be in his early thirties. He was short and skinny, and his hair was a little curly. Coupled with his sallow face, he looked a little sickly.
Beside the man sat an old lady who was more than fifty years old. Although there were not many wrinkles on her face, the white hair that spread out from the roots of her hair could let people know that she was not young. Her pair of eyes that were filled with astuteness were exceptionally bright, unlike the turbidness of ordinary elders.
These two faces in her memory were already blurry. When her mother passed away, no one else but her youngest aunt and uncle was at the extremely simple funeral.
So much so that now that she suddenly saw her uncle and grandma appear in front of her. Jian Ai stood on the spot for a moment and forgot to react.
“Xiao Ai is back.” Wang Yunmei saw her daughter and called out to her, pulling Jian Ai back to reality.
After coming back to her senses, Jian Ai answered her mother and called out to them, “Grandma, Uncle.”
Cai Chunhua looked at Jian Ai calmly and snorted. “You’re back.”
Her tone was cold and distant, without any trace of kinship.
Wang Yunfa didn’t even raise his eyes. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, as if he didn’t know Jian Ai.
Wang Yunmei knew that because of her, no one liked her children. She was afraid that Jian Ai would feel uncomfortable, so she quickly called out, “Xiao Ai, Mom left food for you in the kitchen. You can go and eat first. I have something to discuss with your grandma and uncle.”
Jian Ai nodded and didn’t say anything. She threw down her bag and went into the kitchen, not forgetting to close the kitchen door.
Seeing this, Wang Yunmei sighed and looked at the old lady and her brother. “Mom, I’ve already said what I needed to say. I still have to go to work. You guys can go back first.”
“Go back? Where to?” Cai Chunhua raised her voice and looked at her daughter. “Your brother is over thirty years old. It wasn’t easy for him to find a partner and get married. You have the heart to ruin it?”
“Sister, are you trying to make me a bachelor on purpose?!” Wang Yunfa shouted with an unhappy expression.
Wang Yunmei was never one to be trifled with. Furthermore, what did this have to do with her? Her brother was getting married, and the woman wanted a new house. If he couldn’t afford it, then why did he come to ask her for money? Was she deliberately trying to cause trouble by not giving it to him?
“Mom, can you be reasonable? Do you think it’s easy for me to earn money all these years to raise Jian Yu and Jian Ai alone? It’s fine if you didn’t help, but now, you want to ask me for money so that Brother can buy a house and get married? How can you bully people like this?!”
