Listened to music and slept until noon the next day, stretching her arms comfortably, she rarely slept so well; it had been a long time since she felt this comfortable. Just after washing up, she heard arguing downstairs. Warm frowned, recognizing the voice as that of Uncle Two or Uncle Three.

Warm changed clothes and went downstairs.

Fang Liucheng returned the company to Warm's father, but Uncles Two and Three were back again, squabbling over family assets with their daughters and sons downstairs. After experiencing great ups and downs and tasting the bitterness of life, Warm's mother cherished everything even more; she wouldn't give them a single penny.

Back when Warm's father was in jail and their house seized, they had nowhere to go as a family of three. Uncles Two and Three didn't offer any help or attempt to save Warm's father but quickly distanced themselves from the family. Warm's mother didn't blame them for being indifferent and leaving her and her daughter on the streets, yet she couldn't accept their lack of concern towards her elder brother who was in jail, even going so far as to make things worse.

Warm's mother was a kind woman with an excellent background. When Warm's father was just a poor boy attending university, his family strongly opposed the marriage, but she insisted on marrying him and staged countless family revolutions.

Warm's father proved himself by earning money without her family’s financial support; he sold design drawings in college for his first earnings, giving part of it to his two brothers for tuition fees and using a loan to buy their home. Back then, housing prices weren't as high, so buying a house was manageable for Warm's father. After graduation, they got married and worked together to establish the Wen family business. Warm's mother dedicated herself entirely to being a homemaker and educating her two daughters.

She felt she had done everything in her power for Uncle Two and Three over these years; when they wanted money or help getting into the company, she assisted them both times. Yet, when Warm’s father was in trouble, they turned a blind eye.

People are flesh and blood, with grievances and pain. When the wounds still bleed, who can forget this heartache

Upon seeing that the Wen family business was back under Wen Dad's control, they were planning to come for their share of the assets again. How could Mom agree If they had shown even a bit of concern when Wen Dad was struggling, she wouldn't be so ruthless today.

The entire family is seated in the living room. Uncle Second and Uncle Third are both insisting on joining the company or else will start their own business with some capital. Back then, Fang Liucheng took over the company and forced all those surnamed Wen out. Now they want to return.

After all, within the Wen family enterprise, they enjoy a privileged status; no need to look up to others, it's like a lifelong job where you receive money even without working—extremely easygoing. Everyone would be willing for that kind of life.

Tammy is sitting quietly with an icy expression on her face. Warm feels that if Tammy wasn't still a minor, this girl might have been more sisterly than she is herself. Her cold demeanor is quite intimidating, like an ice sculpture.

"Dad, Mom," Warm walks over and says loudly with a smile: "Uncle Second, Uncle Third, Senior Brother, Senior Sister, what brings you here"

There's a faint sarcasm in Warm's laughter.

Uncle Second doesn't care about her tone; instead, he ingratiates himself and asks Dad if he will agree to let them join the company. Tammy speaks coldly: "Uncle Second, are you deaf Didn’t you hear my dad say no"

"Wen Jing, how does a child speak like that So impolite! I'm your senior!" Uncle Wen Two rebuked her.

Mom Wen frowned. Wen Jing sneered, "Senior When my dad was in prison, I worked as a waiter to earn money and support myself; my sister did the same without asking any of you for a penny. My mom said that only children would ask their parents for money. Uncles Two and Three, both of you are even worse than me and my sister. You're still asking my dad for money at your age! How could calling you seniors be embarrassing"

Wen Jing was a tough girl; her words left them pale.

Wen Xiuyu said, "Little Jing, that's not the way to talk. Isn't it normal for my dad and Uncle Big to ask for money We want to work at Wen’s Enterprises as well. We used to work there too. It's just family helping each other."

Wen Nuan sat down calmly and poured herself a cup of fruit tea, saying, "Family We're not your family. Although we share the same surname, you didn't mention being part of one big family when my dad was in prison, but now you suddenly claim to be family Thick-skinned. Let me tell it as it is: there's no money and no job for you either. You're not children anymore; why would you ask your parents for money or a job"

Wen Mei glanced angrily at Wen Nuan, "What do you mean by that We wanted to help Uncle Big back then but we didn’t have the means and connections to do so. Does this count as not helping him My dad made several trips to the procuratorate and gifted many things."

"Is that so Then it must have been quite a hardship for Uncle Three," Wen Nuan said indifferently. "Over these years, you've embezzled quite a sum from Wen’s Enterprises. Considering your family ties, my dad won't pursue the matter this time. Don’t take advantage of kindness and turn down charity when offered; you can’t expect to get a job at Wen’s Enterprises or start up on your own without putting in effort. Who gave money to my father when he started his business Didn’t he succeed Why don’t all of you manage to do the same after joining the workforce Are we supposed to be a charity organization"

"Wen Nuan, you’re really wronging us."

Wen Zhanpeng angrily stood up, "Warms, how can you speak like that How have we been living off others without working hard"

"There are thousands of companies in A City. Why did you specifically choose to join the Wen Group" Warm retorted. She never liked this batch of relatives from a young age, and after this incident, she hated them even more.

"I... "

Uncle Wen San pulled Wen Zhanpeng back down, indicating that he shouldn't argue with Warm or Wen Jing; their sisters had always been sharp-tongued, making it impossible to gain the upper hand in an argument.

"Big Brother, say something. Your brother is already begging you. With the current financial crisis, it's hard to find work outside. I need to support my family. Please help your little brother this time; we will definitely work harder from now on," Uncle Wen San said.

Uncle Wen Er nodded along with Wen Xiuli, Wen Meilin, and Wen Zhanpeng who all promised that they would work diligently in the future.

"Promises are as easy to make as farting; who’s going to believe you" Wen Jing said coldly.

Auntie Wen glared at her. Uncle Wen added, "There's no discussion about this matter. I won't agree. You're right—the current economic environment is tough, and companies are laying off workers rather than hiring them.made an excuse because he still wanted it.The two of them played around all night yesterday, with Mo Yao mostly on top and Xiao Bai underneath. Although he didn't mind the position, seeing Mo Yao now...
