"He's just an adopted child, not a real member of the Chu family! What gives him the right to lecture me?"
But he was already cursed and dared not say a word.
Lady Tian stepped in to smooth things over. "Chu Yan, your second uncle understands now; he doesn't have the heart for such matters at the moment."
Chu Yan showed more respect to Lady Tian. "As long as Second Aunt says so, it's fine. Take Seventh Sister with you. I need to entertain the guests."
Lady Tian nodded.
After Chu Yan left, Chu Hanming was still fuming and complained to Lady Tian, "None of them respect me as the second uncle anymore! I'm Ying'er's biological father! How could I be so shameless as to sell her belongings!"
But Chu Nanying raised her head, her eyes clear yet naively sharp. "But Father, didn't you sell the supplements Second Brother sent over before?"
Chu Hanming glared at her. "Are you even my real daughter?"
