When she returned to the family compound in the evening, Si Chen was still not back from work. Tong Yao was almost asleep by the time he arrived home past nine in the evening. Once he was cleaned up and in bed, Tong Yao relayed the day's events that had occurred at her uncle's house, even summing up at the end.
"Some greedy people care about nothing but their own interests, even tossing aside familial ties. Our dad is a principled man who wants only what is rightfully his. My uncle and aunt, on the other hand, are always trying to monopolize the inheritance and kick us out. They wave the flag of kinship when they need help, but wish we didn't exist when they're doing fine. Thankfully our dad is not soft-hearted, or he would have been manipulated by Tong Sikui today. I can't believe Tong Sikui would put on such a show pretending to be possessed by the spirit of our grandfather. He really did outdo himself."
