Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 551: Chapter 544: Going Out for Fun

Sisi didn’t pry much into Zhong Yuying’s affairs, but Tang Qiubai had come by several times, saying that he had fired Zhong Yuying. Hearing this, Sisi sneered coldly at the notion of how selfish and callous he was. After all, wasn’t Zhong Yuying his lover? To dispose of her just like that for his own benefit!

Sisi couldn’t be bothered to talk more with him. After the Old Man and Granny Zhao heard from Sisi about the incident at the restaurant, their admiration for this once esteemed child turned into profound disappointment. Additionally, the Old Man hadn’t had much association with the Tang Family in recent years, and the relationship between the Tang and Tian families was no longer as close as it was back in Yuequan Village, hence, the two elders didn’t pay much attention to Tang Qiubai.

Tian Xinhua didn’t want to listen to Tang Qiubai’s explanations at all. What happened at the restaurant was a line crossed for him, and from that moment on, Tang Qiubai could only be considered a stranger.

Having been refused entrance several times, Tang Qiubai was fuming. He was, after all, the general manager of a company and had humbled himself; yet, Tian Xinhua, just a mere clerk, had the audacity to not give him face. It was utterly excessive.

Furthermore, recalling how his grandfather mentioned he hadn’t had a sip of the Tian Family’s liquor in years, feeling his health wasn’t as good as in the previous years, triggered Tang Qiubai’s anger further, perceiving the Tian Family as rather cold-hearted and ungrateful.

Thus, in this life just like his past one, Tang Qiubai’s hatred for the Tian Family was reignited. It just goes to show, once a wolf always a wolf—no amount of kindness will make them grateful.

Considering the influence of the He Family and his grandfather’s desire for the liquor, Tang Qiubai managed to suppress his anger, forcing a smile he said he would come back to explain once Tian Xinhua cooled down, and then left alone.

They stayed in Shanghai for five or six days before returning to Yuequan Village, picked up by Tian Manjin. Nowadays, Tian Manjin was quite a notable figure in Sui City, so having a private car was a necessity.

Seeing Tian Xinhua’s Dudu in his arms, Tian Manjin joyfully took the little grandson from him, passing the car to Tian Xinhua while he played with the little one.

"Daddy, Donghua has found a match and is planning to get married in the second half of this year. You and Mama can hold a grandson next year!" Sisi teased.

Tian Manjin nodded with a beaming smile, "Your Mama has been urging this matter every day. She can’t wait for Donghua to get married right now."

The Old Man and Granny Zhao also smiled warmly; all the kids at home were doing well, apart from Ai Guo’s Lili.

Thinking of the self-destructive Tian Lili, the smiles on the Old Man and Granny Zhao’s faces disappeared suddenly, their brows furrowing together.

No two ’Tian’ characters can be written identically. Although they verbally disowned Tian Lili, when it comes time to clean up her mess, wouldn’t it still be the Tian Family who had to take care of it?

Alas, one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel!

Tian Xinhua and Sisi had only been home for two days when Mr. Yun from the Capital City called. He wanted Tian Xinhua to take a trip to Hong Kong, seemingly for an inspection. However, he was only to use the excuse of visiting family, keeping the identity of a Mainland businessman, and bearing the title of son-in-law to the chairman of Ai Hua Company.

"What kind of inspection?" Sisi was puzzled.

Tian Xinhua smirked and nonchalantly replied, "It’s just for fun."

Seeing the disbelief on Sisi’s face, Tian Xinhua added, "Really, it’s just for fun. That’s what the gentleman said."

Old Man Yun said so!

Using the government’s name to have fun could indeed be something that old man would do. Half-believing and half-doubting, Sisi didn’t dwell on the matter anymore.

Anyway, everything is solved by my husband now!

All I have to do is to look beautiful and spend money like water!

Since leaving Hong Kong in ’79, Sisi once again set foot in the bustling city of Hong Kong, and this time she entered the country openly and legitimately—an entirely different experience from her previous sneaky trips by smuggling.

Because Sisi did not notify Mu Xiulian in advance, they took a taxi to the Qiao Mansion on their own. Mu Xiulian and Boss Qiao were not home; however, Sister Hua who had been working for the Qiao Family for over a decade recognized Sisi and was thrilled to see her, smiling happily.

"Miss, you’re finally here! The Old Man and Madame talk about you all the time. Oh my, this must be your husband, right? And this handsome boy, he must be the young master?"

Sister Hua was very talkative, especially since the medicinal wine Sisi brought had cured her husband, so she was very good to Sisi, treating her like a true Miss of the Qiao Family.

Sister Hua instructed the other servants to take Sisi and her family of three upstairs to rest. Sisi’s room had always been kept for her, and it was cleaned daily, ready for her to stay at any time.

Upon receiving Sister Hua’s call, Mu Xiulian excitedly left the Mahjong table, where she was about to lose, taking the money she had won that day from her purse and hurried home.

Her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild were visiting—she wouldn’t care about having a mountain of gold in front of her at that moment!

Mu Xiulian had only held Du Du when he was just born. Now, at three years old, Du Du had completely changed from his baby days—plump and sweet-talking, constantly calling her grandma, which melted Mu Xiulian’s heart. She held Du Du and would not let go, repeatedly asking the kitchen to prepare various snacks for her adorable grandson to eat.

Du Du also especially liked his beautiful grandma—she smelled as fragrant and felt as soft as his mother, but unlike his mother, she didn’t limit the amount of sweets he could eat. He could eat as much as he wanted, how fortunate!

"Grandma, you’re the best, I love you the most!"

While eating the freshly baked snacks, Du Du’s mouth was even sweeter than the treats, showering her with endless flattery which delighted Mu Xiulian to no end.

"Oh my, grandma loves Du Du, my little darling, the most too!"

Without minding the little one’s mouth covered in snack crumbs, Mu Xiulian kissed him, ending up with crumbs on her lips too.

Sisi pursed her lips; this little rascal had quietly said the night before—making sure dad couldn’t hear—that mommy was his most beloved person.

Look at him now, just for a few pieces of snacks, he’s completely forgotten about mom and tossed her over the Pacific Ocean!

Old Man Yun was right—the most cunning and slippery one is definitely this little rascal.

In the evening, Boss Qiao also returned home. He was equally delighted with the cute, chubby Du Du and immediately handed him a big red envelope as a welcome gift.

Over the years, Boss Qiao hadn’t changed much, except that his temperament had become much more subdued. In recent years, he had largely delegated the gang’s business to his two sons; his eldest son Qiao Zhenbang handled the business side, while his second son Qiao Xingbang, Brother Li, Brother Fei, and other brothers managed the gang. The Old Man himself served as the overall commander.

Moreover, he heeded Mu Xiulian’s advice and avoided taking lives as much as possible in recent years, focusing more on charitable deeds. He had lost much of his stinginess and appeared less like a mob boss and more like a common nouveau riche.

Furthermore, the Yaoxing Gang, aside from establishing a movie company, had branched out into industries such as real estate, catering, and hotels in recent years. With the support of their gang influence, these businesses were thriving, bringing in a substantial income for Boss Qiao.
