Chapter 1217 This sister is really annoying
There seemed to be no end to the good things that were said about Ruth's family.
"Baby it's great!"
"Why is it so powerful!"
"Oh, you must be a little angel sent by God!"
"She's beautiful, cute, and so capable."
Shen Xi:......
After all, they were from a country that praises children. Although Caibao didn't understand most of the words of praise, he understood the exaggerated tone and expression.
She is super happy.
Henry lowered his head silently, his fork holding the steak shaking a little.
In the past, whenever he picked up a piece of steak, his family would gather around him and praise him, but now...where is he in their eyes?
He was so angry and jealous, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Woo woo woo, he hates this little sister. When will she leave?
*
Sorry to disappoint Henry.
Treasure doesn't go away that fast.
It was a "family dinner" with eating, chatting and praising, which lasted for more than two hours. We had a round of pre-dinner and post-dinner drinks, and even finished the dessert.
Shen Xi, you really ate too much.
As for Caibao, she sat in her father's arms with her bulging belly, listening to the adults talking with great interest. They spoke English quickly and with an accent, and Shen Xi could only roughly understand what they were saying, but Caibao looked like he understood a lot.
This kid is as good at pretending as her dad.
As the person with the lowest IQ in the room, Shen Xi was unwilling to be the only one confused, so she decisively went to find an ally.
"Old Zhou, what did Chen Chuan mean by what he said to Ruth just now?"
When Zhou Yunxiao was asked this question, he showed a look of doubt: "Actually, I am also... not sure."
"How many do you know?"
He looked ashamed: "Maybe two or three."
Shen Xi was shocked: "There are so many?"
She thought that Chen Chuan was just stealing someone's backyard again, but who would have thought that he had other intentions.
Zhou Yunxiao whispered, "The Todd they are talking about is the husband of Jiang Mengfan's ex-girlfriend."
"what?"
"This business was introduced to Ruth by Ruth's second son-in-law Rick."
"what?"
"The person working on this project in China seems to be Zhou Yan."
"what?"
"That's all I know."
"Oh."
Oh my god! There is so much hidden in just a few words between Chen Chuan and Ruth?
Fortunately, she had thought that Ruth had been a housewife for many years and couldn't even manage the business left by her husband, so she had to hire a professional manager. She also thought that she was not very cunning. Who would have thought...
She was smiling the whole time and was able to have a lively conversation with Chen Chuan.
"Don't underestimate Ruth." Zhou Yunxiao looked around and made sure that other than Ah Chuan who had just glanced at them, no one else noticed him and Shen Xi. Only then did he feel relieved and continue gossiping: "Ruth's husband actually had an illegitimate child outside."
"what?"
"But look at it now, we don't even know where that illegitimate child is."
"You mean..." Shen Xi waved his hand around his neck.
"That's not the case." Zhou Yunxiao smiled: "They probably threw the woman and the child to Africa or some remote place. Anyway, the child didn't take a single penny from her."
"It's really great."
"Also, do you think she really couldn't handle the business back then? How is that possible? She built the family from scratch with her husband, how could she not know how to run a business? It's just that there are too many children and there's only one position, so it's hard to decide who to give the job to and who not to give it to."
"Plus, there's really no one in their family who knows how to run a business, so they just hire someone to take care of it, and everyone gets dividends, so they don't get complaints that she's being unfair or something."
"Look how good it is now. No one blames anyone else. If you really want to do business, just take the dividends and do it yourself. Whether you make a fortune or go bankrupt, it's all your own ability."
When Shen Xi thought about it, he suddenly realized that Ruth was a smart person and was very open-minded.
"She always said that she was willing to go back to be a full-time wife because she valued family more than anything else. So, for her, money is not important, children are the most important."
Shen Xi thought about it and felt that Ruth was a very wise person.
When you first meet her, you just think she is a typical American old lady with a sense of humor, just like the old people that would be in any neighborhood.
But the more I get to know her, the more I feel that she is a smart person.
For example, now, when Shen Xi looks at Ruth, the look in his eyes is different from before.
Look at her teasing Caibao. In Caibao's eyes, there is no such thing as rich or poor. She speaks in a baby voice and answers Ruth's questions, and her answers are very serious.
"Dear, do you like Henry?"
"do not like."
"why?"
"I can't take a beating."
She had just learned the word "take a beating" from her mother, because Shen Xi always complained that Chen Chuan couldn't take a beating. Before the fists hit him, he would just lie on the ground and let himself be beaten, without any sense of accomplishment.
Ruth didn't understand, and it was the life assistant next to her who translated it for her. Then she understood and burst into laughter.
After laughing, he waved his hand: "Henry."
Henry quickly lowered his head and pretended to be very interested in the small cake in front of him.
God knows, he hates cream the most.
When will my sister leave? If she doesn’t leave, he will really eat the cake...
"Henry dear, come here for a moment."
Unable to avoid it, Henry shuffled over, glancing at the treasure.
Ruth held back her laughter and hugged her grandson in her arms: "Henry, your sister dislikes you, why don't you try hard to make your sister like you?"
Henry looked at Treasure. Treasure was smiling and looked innocent, cute and harmless, but he didn't believe it.
Which sister could drop from the sky and knock him to the ground with a block?
Henry thought about the day when he lost his most beloved toy car. He was reluctant to regret, so he picked up the car and cursed "little bastard". He also wanted to kick Caibao, but missed. He saw Caibao's face suddenly changed, and he turned and ran away in fright.
Then--
Treasure came running over, jumped up and slapped him on the head...
Henry was three years old, and it was the first time he was beaten, and it hurt so much that he burst into tears on the spot. Then Caibao slapped him on the mouth several times: "I taught you not to curse!!"
She had heard someone cursing like this before and asked Xiaoxiao out of curiosity. Xiaoxiao said that it was a dirty word and children should not say it, or they would be slapped in the face if they did.
Caibao is a good boy, so she will be responsible for slapping him.
In the end, Henry was beaten and ran back crying.
He sneaked out to play when the babysitter wasn't paying attention, but he didn't expect that not only did he lose his toys, he also got beaten...
When his parents found out that his skateboard and toys were missing and asked about it, he told them tearfully. Then, Ruth's whole family knew that he was beaten by a little girl...
