Chapter 401
"How can you say that?" His uncle slapped the table.
His angry actions and words attracted the attention of all the people in the cafe. They all looked at us, including Sienna's worried eyes.
I looked in Sienna's direction and nodded to her with a smile, indicating that she didn't have to worry.
After comforting Sienna, I looked at my uncle and said, "Uncle, you didn't mishear. Whether this house has anything to do with you or not, it has nothing to do with me."
"How can you talk to me like that? I'm your uncle." His voice was low, trying to convince me.
"Maybe he realized that he wasn't at home or outside, so he deliberately kept his voice down when talking to me. It wasn't as loud as it was just now."
The veins on my uncle's forehead stood out, as if he was trying to suppress his anger. But I was confused. "What's there to be angry about, uncle? I was angry just because I said I wouldn't give him money. Then what about me? Who should I be angry with?"
I nodded to my uncle and said slowly, "Uncle is still my uncle, but the house is my mother's house. They have nothing to do with each other. I hope you can understand what I mean."
"I don't know what you mean. I only know that I gave this house to your mother. Otherwise, with your mother's financial strength, how could she have money to buy this house?"
"But this is all your business. Now that my mother is gone, there is nothing to be investigated into," I said softly.
However, his uncle didn't agree with me. He stood up from the sofa angrily, pointed at me and said angrily, "Chelsea, if you don't give us money this time, your aunt and I will never leave Luo City. We will spend time with you!" "Is it really good for uncle to do this?" Sienna suddenly came over and said.
I didn't expect that Sienna would suddenly come over. I quickly pulled her sleeve and motioned for her to hurry over. Don't stay here. But Sienna didn't pay attention to me and just stood there.
The uncle on the opposite side also noticed Sienna and questioned me angrily, "Do you know this person?"
However, before I could answer, Sienna took the lead to say, "It doesn't matter whether I know her or not. You can treat me as a passer-by who can't listen to you anymore."
"What's wrong with you? I'm talking to my niece. What does it have to do with you?" His uncle said angrily.
Hearing his uncle's words, Sienna laughed. "She is your niece. Why can't I see it at all? People who don't know will think that she is your enemy."
"Who told you to talk like that? We don't need you to talk about our family affairs." Uncle was so angry that his face turned red.
"Uncle, this matter does have nothing to do with me. I just can't stand it. What does your niece's house have to do with you? Why must I give you money? Even if others hear this, they will find it incredible." Sienna continued, "According to what you said, when you paid for the house at the beginning, you should take out the evidence when you have the money to buy it. Take your evidence and go to the court. I wil naturally give you a sum of money. Is this much more meaningful than forcing your niece to ask for money like this?"
"You, you, you!" Uncle didn't say a second word for a long time.
Looking at my uncle eating the turtle, I felt a little comfortable and sad.
I pulled Sienna and whispered, "Almost enough."
"I don't think it's the same. I think it's far from enough. People like your uncle just need someone to remind him. Otherwise, he will think that everyone in the world owes him," Sienna said in a low voice. His uncle pointed at Sienna and me and said, "You said so much because you know each other. Since you know each other, there is no stand to judge!"
"So what if we know each other? Is there anything wrong with it? Isn't your family bullying Chelsea?" Sienna said carelessly.
His uncle sneered, turned his eyes to me, and said word by word, "Chelsea, it seems that I underestimated you this time. I thought you came to me for peace, but it turned out that you were looking for someone to target me. Why are you still going to beat me?"
"What do you mean, Uncle? When have I ever done such a thing?" I asked coldly, feeling a chill down my spine.
"You don't know what I mean. I heard on the phone that you wanted to have a talk with me, but your friend came to accuse me halfway. Is this what you can come up with?" His uncle asked with a sneer. "She's just here to accompany me. Uncle, you don't have to think so much."
"I don't know if this is with you. I now doubt if there was a recording when you talked to me. Fortunately, I didn't say anything out of line. Otherwise, wouldn't you have to take the recording to court to sue me?" His uncle said proudly.
My uncle's words became more and more ridiculous, and I couldn't say a word.
I really didn't expect that my uncle would be so excited when he heard Sienna's words. I thought that he was just angry that I took friends with me. Besides, whether Sienna was here or not had nothing to do with our conversation. But obviously, his uncle didn't think so.
I didn't expect my uncle to say such a thing. It's really hard for me to accept.
I was not in the mood to continue to explain. I said to my uncle directly, "If you don't believe me, I have no choice. No matter whether Sienna came or not today, I won't agree to give you money."
"Since you don't agree to give us money, I'll wait and see." His uncle left angrily.
There was no reaction from his uncle when he left. He just sat quietly in the chair and drank tea slowly.
But when I calmed down, Sienna couldn't calm down. She said angrily, "I told you long ago that you, my uncle, are not a good person, but you insisted on coming here to meet me. Now it's not enough to prove that you are asking for trouble."
"I just want to have a good talk with him."
"But is it useless for you to discuss it now? He can never think about having a good talk with you. He just wants money." Sienna kept repeating the word 'money'.
In the past, they had seen similar scenes on TV, such as the separation between relatives because of money.
But I didn't believe most of it when I was watching TV, because I felt that it was all made up for the ratings. Moreover, I felt that no feelings were more solid than family love, and even love couldn't compare with it.
But now I suspect it, because I found that things were not like this at all. It was all because I thought it too simply.
"Now my uncle's family is in such a mess because of a house. If my relationship with Harrison is known by him, or if he knows that Harrison is more capable and rich than Callen, then they may really ask Harrison for money directly."
Thinking of this, I felt even more terrified in my heart. It turned out that family affection was not as important as money.
