Chapter 40 - Disrespectful, A Snob
The Schoolgirl Secret Agent
Yun Jian had always known that Zhang Tiejun, the husband of her motherâs biological sister Qin Junlan and better known as her uncle, was a small businessman.
That was a fact, as Qin Junlan was here with her husband today to meet their client.
If it were not for the importance of todayâs client, they would not have picked this four-star hotel as a meeting location.
It was undeniable that even their family condition could not afford to spend a meal here.
Obviously, Qin Junlan had always assumed that her younger sister was forever impoverished, unable to pay for her childrenâs school fees, and could not even repay what she had borrowed from her!
How could she not be surprised when she saw both Yun Jian and Yun Yi here at an upscale hotel for lunch?
Would they have extra money to spend at a luxurious place like this? Bullshit!
This was why Qin Junlan hollered at the kids in such a condescending tone.
"Why canât we be here? Is it because we canât be at where you are?" Yun Jian scoffed.
She disliked her aunt from the bottom of her heart.
"Oh, look, this kid snaps back at her aunt! Disrespectful. I really donât know how Yirou teaches you two! Can you two feast here with how your family is doing?" Qin Junlan hurled back.
Qin Junlan spoke with one sole intention, to indirectly tell Yun Jian that they still owed her money.
How would they dare have a treat here when they had yet to return their debt!
Considering the fact that there were outsiders here and Qin Junlan had her appearance to keep, she gritted her teeth looking at Yun Jian and Yun Yi before she put up a well-mannered facade the next second and said, "Iâm not accusing you. Your mother makes hard-earned money. Itâs not for you both to splurge like this!"
She was basically hinting that the money they owed was still unreturned!
"Iâm Yun Yiâs friend. Iâm buying them this meal. Yun Yi has never misspent a cent. You shouldnât say untrue things like this, Yun Yiâs aunt!" Xu Haozhe stood up for Yun Yi immediately.
One could hear how much Qin Junlan hated both Yun Yi and Yun Jian as long as they were not a fool.
Xu Haozhe had been piqued by Qin Junlanâs tone, thus countering for the siblings.
"You?" It was only then that Qin Junlan shifted her gaze from her niece and nephew to Xu Haozhe.
Xu Haozhe was nicely dressed, not appearing as a poor kid who came from deprived conditions.
In addition, he said that he was treating Yun Jian and Yun Yi the meal.
It was a known fact that a meal here cost significantly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Haozhe was Yun Yiâs age yet he could wine and dine here as he pleased. That must mean that he was a rich kid?
Qin Junlan who was about to lash out relented at once when she thought about a rich familyâs son being Yun Yiâs friend. Her attitude changed swiftly.
"Ay, Xiao Jian, Xiao Yi, Iâm only giving you reminders just now. After all, your motherâs salary doesnât come easy. You two must understand..." Qin Junlanâs approach was a speedy switch from aggressive to gentle.
If Yun Yi was really friends with the son of some affluent family, his future would be promising! Maybe she could even share some benefits as his aunt!
Qin Junlan had completely forgotten how overbearing she was when she confronted the siblings just now.
