"What? Brother, what did you say just now?"
Zack's words startled Jade.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Celia is doing business now?"
Gordon, who seldom expressed his opinion, also stood up from his chair.
"Yes, she is. What's wrong with it?"
There was nothing to be ashamed of. Celia didn't steal or rob from others. Why they were so excited?
"How can let her do that? How could you let Celia do business? It's such a shameful thing. If other people know it, they won't only laugh at you, but also embarrass us."
Jade shouted. If the ladies who were with her knew that she had such a shameless relative, they would laugh at her. By that time, her image that she had been working so hard to maintain would be ruined!
"Ashamed? Jade, you are going too far. What was shame? What's wrong with being a self-employed businesswoman? We earn a lot of money with our own hands. Don't you care about the life and death of yo
this? You are going to build a house, aren't you? Just now your uncle told me to support you by three thousand. I'll add two thousand on that. I'll offer you and your mother five thousand dollars in total as the house raising fund. It can also be considered as my compensation for the past years since I seldom visit and care about you."
When making the decision, Jade glanced at her husband for fear that he would be angry. After all, the five thousand was not a small sum. Even they had to save it for a few months.
"Wendy, we'll give the money to you, and you just keep it. It's not easy for you and Celia. We didn't take good care of you for all these years, and your sister felt guilty about that."
Since the woman had said it, even if he was unhappy, he did not dare to show it. He had to pretend to be happy on the surface, but in his heart, he really regretted coming to have dinner with Jade. It was totally not worthwhile.
