"I've heard your nephew is doing even better than the Fang Family's daughter..."
This sentence must be her main point. By relation, she should be the aunt.
"Whether he's doing well or not, what's it to you? How many times have you seen him?"
Zhang Zhongquan wanted to educate, unaware he himself hadn't seen his nephew in years.
Mai Encui caught the blame in his words, displeased and frowning. Although flattered recently, it didn't mean indulgence was permitted!
"Is it my fault? Could you as an uncle have predicted that the kid would turn out successful after losing his parents?"
Zhang Zhongquan wanted to argue but found no words.
Can he put it all on his wife?
Surely not.
Though the wife was selfish and greedy, fearing ill-fated relatives' burdens, didn't he have any responsibility?
Truth be told, he had the same mindset; none of his relatives or friends were more important than the comfort of his own household.
