"You, you, you... you little brat, taking the outsider's side!" Her aunt fumed, stamping her feet in anger.
Song Yumeng tried to soothe her while sighing inwardly.
Why was her mother so stubborn and blind to the situation? If she could just straighten out her attitude and be a little more sincere, how would things have come to this?
But unfortunately...
"Alright, Yumeng, don't argue with your mother," Zhang Yang said with a smile from the side.
In truth, with how little business her uncle's restaurant was getting now, there wasn't much room left for it to decline anyway. Even if their own restaurant affected it, the impact would be minimal.
What he had said earlier was merely meant to needle her aunt. She owed his family money, yet she still dared to make snide remarks in front of him—what kind of logic was that?
As for now...
Seeing her aunt so furious that she was stamping her feet, yet utterly helpless...
That was enough.
Zhang Yang was quite satisfied.
He pulled his younger cousin aside, but her face was still full of apology.
"Brother, I'm apologizing to you on my mom's behalf."
"You don't need to apologize for her." Zhang Yang smiled. "Honestly, I didn't want things to turn out this way either... but she refuses to fix her attitude. What else could your cousin do?"
But more likely than not, his aunt would never truly adjust her mindset.
People like her treated a small favor as kindness but a great favor as a grievance. Being good to her would only encourage a certain mentality to grow wildly.
The best solution, naturally, was to stay away from relatives like that.
Just ignore them.
"I know... I'll go back and try to talk some sense into my mom." Song Yumeng
