Chapter: 1304

Ye Chen smiled calmly and said: "Actually, there's nothing too good or bad about it. They were being very overbearing towards us before, weren't they?"

"They knew when we encountered some problems, they would also be mocking us to the death."

"Don't you remember when we first went to Tang Chen's property sales? They as a family mocked us back then too."

"And didn't they also come to mock us when your studio opened?"

"Now that Mom is going to mock me, I think it's just about treating others the same way they treated you. It's all karma in the end."

Xiao Chang and Xiao Lao Tai Tai were furious with Ma Ran, but they couldn't do anything about her behavior. Both of them turned their heads away, still fuming.

"Xiao Chang was muttering curses: 'That deadbeat Ma Ran, I'll find a chance to kill him in the future!'"

"Elder Xiao Tai Tai was furious and said: 'Forget about her for now, tomorrow let's take that worthless woman, Qian Hongyan, to get rid of that bastard inside her belly. This is our Xiao family's greatest shame in a hundred years!'"

"Xiao Chang also had a face full of hatred and gritted his teeth, saying: 'Mom, don't worry, I'll go with her tomorrow!'"

"As they returned home, Xiao Ha Long and Xiao Wei Wei were just waking up from their nap. They were waiting in the living room for Qian Hongyan to cook lunch."

"Qian Hongyan had some money left over from selling a coffee machine last time. Today she deliberately wanted to ease family relationships, so she spent a lot of money buying fresh abalone and was preparing to treat the family to a meal."

"Just the ingredients for this batch of abalone cost tens of thousands. For Qian Hongyan, it was indeed bleeding out."

"Elder Xiao Tai Ta saw that Qian Hongyan had bought back the abalone and was initially thrilled, thinking about the delicious food they could eat at noon."

"But then she thought of a small detail and asked Qian Hongyan: 'Where did you get the money to buy these abalone?'"

"Qian Hongyan lied, saying: 'A friend owed me some money from playing cards earlier. I just went to ask them for it.'"

"Elder Xiao Tai Ta lightly nodded her head and spoke in a cold tone: 'Transfer all the remaining money to my WeChat account. From now on, all the money in this household will be managed by me, including Wu's investment in our Xiao Group. Anybody who dares to hide their private funds or embezzle from me can leave this house!'"

"Just relax, Mom, I'll transfer all the remaining money to you right away, and I won't keep a single penny for myself!" said Qian Hongyan with a smile.

Elder Xiao Tai Ta looked at Elder Xiao Cha Jian and spoke in a cold tone: "Elder Xiao Cha Jian, you had hidden over a million yuan privately before, refusing to give it to me. Finally, all that money was spent, so from now on, if you dare to hide private funds again, don't blame me for being unreasonable."

Elder Xiao Cha Jian could only nod his head obediently and said: "I understand, Mom. I'll make sure to never hide private funds again!"

Elder Xiao Tai Ta finally nodded her head in satisfaction, seeming to consolidate her position as the household's ruler.

Very soon, Qian Hongyan brought out a big plate of various abalone dishes, all perfectly cooked.

The abalone feast, naturally, featured abalone in every dish.

There were steamed abalone powder, red-cooked abalone, abalone sashimi, and abalone soup, among others.

Because the ingredients were bought well, each dish tasted extremely good.

However, at the dinner table, Qian Hongyan was eating a simple bowl of congee with egg, not touching any of the abalones, despite having cooked them all by herself. JrNovels.com
