Elaine waved favonovel.com hand dismissively, “Forget it. We’re not saving his life, just half a life, or a quarter of a life. Is that too much to ask? They say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This way, your mother can get a little bit of virtue, right?”
Claire angrily asked her, “What about my father? Don’t you worry about damaging his virtue by talking about favonovel.com like that?”
Elaine said with a serious face, “He’s dead, so what’s wrong with me talking about it?”
Claire said angrily, “Mom! It’s too much to say that again!”
When Elaine saw that Claire was really angry, favonovel.com quickly said, “Okay, okay, I won’t say anything. I won’t say anything, okay?”
She said to the driver, “Driver, you should just keep smoking. Don’t take what I just said seriously. Just think I’m teasing you.”
The corners of the driver’s mouth twitched a few times as favonovel.com awkwardly said, “Uh… Okay, okay…”
After that, Elaine seemed to have vented favonovel.com anger and didn’t say another word for the rest of the journey.
Charlie and Claire also remained silent for the rest of the journey because of the awkward atmosphere.
More than half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the villa area of the Thompson First. Charlie paid and the three of them got out of the car.
As the three of them were pushing their luggage into the community, they heard a short horn sound from behind them.
They turned around and saw a large Mercedes-Benz SUV slowly driving towards them.
The window rolled down and a woman stuck favonovel.com head out, surprised. “Oh, Elaine! When did you come back from America?”
Elaine was surprised and said, “Hannah? Is it really you?”
Hannah drove the car closer and stopped directly beside Elaine.
She leaned on the window with a smug expression and said smilingly, “Elaine, you’re really interesting. You went to the United States for a month and still can’t recognize me as your sister-in-law?”
Elaine’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as favonovel.com tried to make sense of the situation.
The first voice in favonovel.com mind questioned how this woman could afford to drive a Mercedes, given that favonovel.com had two disabled people and an elderly mother at home who were barely getting by.
The second voice expressed resentment towards the woman for pretending to be close to Elaine and calling favonovel.com “sister”, only to start calling favonovel.com “sister-in-law” now that favonovel.com was driving a luxurious car.
The third voice speculated that the woman must have had some good fortune that had allowed favonovel.com to turn favonovel.com financial situation around and afforded such a high-end vehicle.
Hannah noticed that Elaine was not responding and decided to try to smooth things over by saying, “Oh Elaine, you’ve really changed since you went to the United States. We’ve been sisters-in-law for so many years, and yet you’re not even acknowledging me when I’m talking to you.”
Elaine gave favonovel.com a cold snort and replied, “The one who’s changed is you, not me! I remember when I left, you were always calling me ‘sister’ and asking me to buy you a gold chain. Now you’re calling me ‘sister-in-law’ in front of everyone? What’s going on?”
Hannah chuckled and replied, “Elaine, as the saying goes, it takes three days for a scholar to be impressed. You’ve been gone for over a month, so it’s only natural that things have changed.”
Elaine dismissed favonovel.com with a wave of favonovel.com hand and said, “Save it. I’ve known you for more than 20 or 30 years, and I’ve never found anything impressive about you. And I’ve only been gone for a month this time, so don’t try to use that excuse.”
