Three scaled-down bosses come to visit with tens of billions of assets

机场

A black business car is already waiting at the airport

In the car

He Tingxiu stared at the crowd outside the car window.

His eyes darkened: "The Jiang family?"

"Mr. He, I think they have bad intentions when they appear here at the same time as us." The co-pilot, He Tingxiu's confidant, said in a deep voice: "I will keep an eye on them now! If they dare to make any move, my subordinates will immediately Do it!"

"No need." He Tingxiu calmly moved his body closer to the seat again, closed his eyes and rested: "They are not here for us, don't worry about them."

机场

With a private jet steady

The figures of Mr. Jiang and Shen Pianzhi have already gotten off the plane.

In an open field a few meters away from the plane

A figure wearing a crisp black suit walked out of the waiting carriage.

As this figure appears

An extremely powerful aura from a superior person instantly overwhelmed all the bodyguards present.

The man raised his head, his dark brown pupils looking in the direction of the aircraft cabin. There was no emotion in his deep and straight facial features. After seeing the first two figures on the plane, a smile appeared in the man's eyes: " Grandpa, little sister, welcome you home."

When this voice falls

The troops lined up neatly and recited loudly and loudly: "Welcome to the old man! Welcome to the home of the eldest lady!"

"Welcome, old man! Welcome home, young lady!"

"Welcome, old man! Welcome home, young lady!"

The loud and neat voice instantly resounded through the sky

Immediately afterwards, another man wearing a black leather jacket, leaning on the hood of the car and smoking, also stopped, threw the cigarette on the ground, and crushed it out.

The man was born with narrow and evil eyes, and he looked at the two people who appeared in the cabin in front of him.

The strong killing aura on his body almost overshadowed the powerful aura of the man next to him.

The man's cool lips raised slightly, he stepped forward, stood side by side with the man, and looked at the two figures coming off the plane with a chuckle: "Grandpa, little sister, welcome you home."

Mr. Jiang smiled and patted the back of Shen Pianzhi's hand and introduced her: "This is your eldest brother, Jiang Fengxing, and the other one is your second brother, Jiang Qianjun!"

Shen Pianzhi looked at the two figures that appeared in his sight.

They had already met in Xia Kingdom before

Shen Pianzhi looked at them, and in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the image on the disc.

When Jiang Fengxing was still a teenager, he stood in front of his newly born baby and vowed to protect her.

Also, Jiang Qianjun, who was only five or six years old at the time, waved her fists and said she would beat up all those who bullied her.

The picture in her mind put a warm smile on Shen Pianzhi's cold face. She also looked at them: "Eldest brother, second brother."

"Little sister, you have worked hard along the way." Jiang Fengxing stepped forward and placed his palm on Shen Pianzhi's shoulder: "You have suffered a lot in the past few years. In the future, big brother will make up for it all for you."

On the side, Jiang Qianjun also squinted his eyes and took the initiative to speak: "Little sister, if second brother is here in the future, whoever dares to bully you will be the first to not let him go!"

Shen Pinzhi: "Thank you, eldest brother, and thank you, second brother."

"Okay, get in the car, you brothers and sisters, let's talk after we get in the car!" Mr. Jiang was in a good mood, holding Shen Pianzhi's hand and preparing to pull her into the car.

Shen Pianzhi looked in the direction of the plane that landed almost right next to them.

on that plane

He Licun's figure had already stepped down the hanging ladder, waving the mobile phone in his hand at Shen Pianzhi from a distance.

Immediately after

Shen Pianzhi's cell phone rang.

It was a message sent to her by He Licun.

He Licun: "You go first, I will follow your car."

After seeing the news, Shen Pinzhi put away her phone and followed Mr. Jiang on the roller coaster ride.

Her expression clearly fell in the eyes of Jiang Fengxing and Jiang Qianjun who were following behind.

Jiang Qianjun frowned and glanced at Jiang Xingzhou: "Why are He Licun following?"

Jiang Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of He Licun with a half-smile: "If you ask me what's going on, you might as well ask my little sister. I didn't ask him to come."

Jiang Qianjun frowned even more tightly, and glanced in the direction of He Licun with an unkind look on his face.

On the side, Jiang Fengxing spoke calmly: "He is your future brother-in-law, what do you want him to do?"

"...So grandpa agrees?" Jiang Qianjun narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't have a good impression of this brother-in-law.

Seeing the expression on the second brother's face, Jiang Xingzhou gloated and said in a frivolous tone: "Second brother, if you don't accept it, you have to accept it. There is no other way. How can I make my little sister like him?"

"Are you the eldest uncle Nian Nian and the second uncle?" Shen Xiaonian's soft voice came over.

The little girl followed Jiang Xingzhou, looking eagerly at Jiang Fengxing and Jiang Qianjun with a pair of dark eyes: "Hello, uncle, hello second uncle, I am Shen Xiaonian, you can call me Niannian."

Jiang Qianjun was silent for two seconds, took off his palm gloves, and touched Xiaonian's head: "Well, hello."

Jiang Fengxing's eyes fell calmly on He Xiaotian and Shen Xiaohan behind him, and he reached out to them: "Let's go."

As the Jiang family got on the bus

The luxury motorcade stopped at the airport and drove slowly towards the VIP channel of the airport.

rear

He Licun was not in a hurry to leave

After he stared at Shen Pianzhi following the Jiang family's motorcade out of sight, he turned his gaze towards the black business car parked in the corner.

His eyes flashed and he stared straight at the black business car. He took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Dad, aren't you going to ask the driver to drive over?"

After He Licun's voice fell, he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to speak.

within sight

The black business car finally started and drove slowly in his direction.

The car stopped one meter away from He Licun.

As the car door opens

He Tingxiu's figure walked down from it

He Tingxiu stared at him with a sullen face: "Where is the child?"

"Dad, I think it's better for you not to interfere with some things." He Licun's face showed no expression and his tone was calm: "I think I will get married soon. By then, if my wife wants to hold a wedding, If it’s a wedding, I think I’ll let you know.”

He Tingxiu: "?"

He Licun looked at the gloomy look on his father's face and continued: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. My wife's car is still waiting for me in front."

Leave this sentence behind

He Licun didn't even wait for He Tingxiu to speak, and turned around to get in the car.

He Tingxiu was really angry. His cold eyes were fixed on He Licun's back: "Is the woman with you a member of the Jiang family?"

"You know, we and the Jiang family have always been incompatible."

"This is the accumulated grudge between three generations of us. It is simply impossible for you to change it on your own!"

He Licun's back just paused, and he didn't even look back to see the expression on his father's face, his tone remained calm: "I am not involved in your grudges, and my wife's affairs have nothing to do with you. "

"He Licun, since you have returned to Europe, you are not allowed to go anywhere today!" He Tingxiu said with a sullen face and a look at the subordinates beside him.

Immediately after

Several men in black immediately attacked He Licun's figure.

Stare at these thugs

He Licun frowned slightly: "Dad, you should know that these people cannot be my opponents. You'd better stop doing useless work."

"Whether he is an opponent or not, you don't have the final say!" He Tingxiu was really angry: "Get him!"

Several men in black had dull faces and rushed in the direction of He Licun in an instant.

The speed of these men in black is almost too fast to be caught by the naked eye. .xiumЬ

These men in black have undergone absolute training to be qualified to be around He Tingxiu.

They are not ordinary level thugs at all!

however

Just such a group of people

When they were less than half a meter away from He Licun,

An extremely terrifying aura exploded from He Licun's body

He stared at these people coldly: "You are my father's people, don't force me to do anything to you."

He Tingxiu's face became even more ugly. With a sullen face, he directly took action himself.

"He Licun, I taught you all your moves. Today, I want to see whether you or I win!"

With a burst of fire, He Tingxiu's palm directly hit He Licun's arm.

Just when He Tingxiu's palm was about to grab He Licun's arm,

No one saw what happened

Next second

The person who was in He Tingxiu's sight just now appeared behind him like a ghost.

He Licun sighed and grabbed He Tingxiu's arm with his palm, his voice still calm: "Dad, you have retired a long time ago. Now, you are no match for me."

ten minutes later

He Licun has successfully left the airport

And in the airport

He Tingxiu, who had his car taken away, had a gloomy expression on his face. He stared at the car that had driven away, his chest heaving violently.

He Tingxiu's confidant lowered his head and said: "Sir, Master He's military force value is now higher than yours, you should be happy."

He Tingxiu had a sullen face and didn't say a word.

It wasn't until the car disappeared from sight that he said, "What are you still doing? Call a car!"

"Yes, sir."

the other side

He Licun drove the car himself, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out

After seeing the Jiang family's motorcade again in his sight, he frowned slightly and relaxed a little.

In the passenger seat, Zhao Lingfei was covered in cold sweat, his hands tightly grasping the armrests in the car, his dilated pupils staring out of the car window. At this moment, his legs were trembling: "Master He, you, you Can you please drive slower, I’m scared.”

After Zhao Lingfei's voice fell,

He Licun's speed indeed slowed down.

but

He didn't slow down the car because of Zhao Lingfei's words.

It's because if he doesn't drive slower, he will soon pass in front of the Jiang family's motorcade.

After the vehicle speed slows down

Zhao Lingfei froze and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Call ~

It's good to be alive!

Zhao Lingfei felt like he was alive again. He turned around dryly and glanced at He Licun quietly: "Master He, can you just snatch your father's car away like this?"

He Licun pursed his lips: "Why, you want to get off the car too?"

After a few minutes

Zhao Lingfei, who was thrown out of the car, stared blankly in the direction where He Licun's car left. After a long time, he came back to his senses and slapped his mouth hard: "Why is my mouth so mean! I'm so good. What a mouthful!"

Jiang Family Racing Team

Mr. Jiang and Shen Pianzhi took the lead car

Jiang Fengxing, Jiang Qianjun, and Jiang Xingzhou were in one car each.

Since the car accident more than twenty years ago

The Jiang family has always had a rule

in Europe

The Jiang family must not ride in the same car at the same time unless necessary

This is also to prevent any enemies of the Chiang family from retaliating and to minimize casualties.

And because the three little guys are still young,

The three of them were riding in the car with their three uncles respectively.

Driving in the front car

Mr. Jiang stared at the direction of the motorcade and sighed. He held Shen Pianzhi's hand tightly and murmured to himself: "Your mother's favorite thing when she was alive was red roses."

"Back then, your father even built a rose manor for your mother."

"I haven't been here for a long time. I think the roses in Rose Manor should have bloomed."

When she mentioned her biological father and mother, Shen Pianzhi's eyes dimmed. Her voice was very soft and she lowered her eyes and asked, "Grandpa, can you tell me the story of my parents."

"Your parents." Mr. Jiang suddenly laughed: "Back then, your parents were married, and they looked down on each other."

"But I felt that your mother was very suitable to be my daughter-in-law, so I finally forced your father to marry her through coercion and inducement."

"At first, the young couple ignored each other, until they happened to go to the same coastal city on a business trip due to work reasons."

"A tsunami trapped them together. It took a week for the rescue team to arrive."

"That's when your parents started trying to get in touch with each other."

"And soon, there was your big brother."

Having said this, the old man still smiled: "Back then, your mother was a huge fan, and there were countless people pursuing her. I remember that there was a young man studying medicine who was one of your mother's many suitors. "

"Later, one year, your mother had a quarrel with your father, and the young man studying medicine wanted to take advantage of the situation. As a result, your father became furious and took your mother home and grounded her for half a month."

"Your second brother was conceived at that time."

Mentioning these old things, the smile on the old man's face never stopped, as if these were the best things in his memory.

then

The old man also mentioned that later, her third brother was born

after that

It's her

When he said this, the smile on the old man's face suddenly turned miserable. He stared blankly ahead, with tears welling up in his eyes: "...What a wonderful family, why have we become like this?"

Shen Pianzhi's eyes were also a little red, and she held her grandfather's hand instead.

She didn't know how to comfort grandpa

She could only accompany the old man silently

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere in the car had become gloomy, the old man wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled: "Look, why am I talking about these sad things again."

"No more, no more."

in sight

A manor full of red roses appeared in Shen Pianzhi's sight

When she saw the car accident information about Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Chiang before, she subconsciously thought that Rose Manor was just the name of a cemetery.

She didn't expect

Rose Manor was originally a manor, not a cemetery.

This is the home that her father gave to her mother

Now, it has become a cemetery where they are buried

Haven't opened the gate of the manor yet

Shen Pianzhi had already seen the red roses climbing all over the wrought iron railings.

Even the pointed roof of the huge European-style building in this manor is already covered with red roses.

These roses seemed to welcome her arrival

Wind blows

Roses are waving to her

The car stopped at the entrance of the manor

Shen Pianzhi slowly opened the car door

Staring at a manor that was no longer inhabited, a manor that was covered with roses, a manor where her parents were buried underground

I don’t know if the roses in full swing are too dazzling, but her eyes are already red, and the roses waving to her are reflected in them.

She reached out

A withered rose petal just fell into her palm with the wind

Looking at the red rose that withered into brown in the palm of her hand, Shen Pianzhi's eyes were a little hollow.

This place is a strange place for her

But there seems to be a familiarity imprinted in my memory

She seems to have dreamed of this place countless times

However, it seems that these thoughts are just her fleeting fantasies.

Mr. Jiang had already got out of the car, and he sighed: "Let's go, I'll take you in and have a look."

Shen Pianzhi nodded slightly and followed the old man.

The entrance to Rose Manor has an iron gate that can accommodate one person through.

After Mr. Jiang entered, Shen Pianzhi came back to his senses and followed him in.

Enter the manor

Only then did Shen Pianzhi realize that the roses here did not grow wildly in disorder.

There should be someone taking care of it all the time.

Inside the wrought iron gate, all the roses are well arranged and do not look cluttered at all.

All rose bushes are as tall as adults

Walking among the rose bushes, Shen Pianzhi can smell the strong fragrance of roses

This aroma made her heart slowly calm down

Following the cobblestone path, Mr. Jiang led Shen Pianzhi towards the European-style building in front of him.

Behind

The car in which Jiang Fengxing and others were riding has also stopped.

Jiang Fengxing got out of the car and did not step forward.

Jiang Qianjun frowned: "Brother, why don't we go in?"

"I think the little sister has a lot to say to her parents. Let the little sister be quiet for a while." Jiang Fengxing exhaled a breath of thick air and stared at Jiang Qianjun: "Do you have any more cigarettes? Lend me one. .”

Jiang Qianjun frowned and stared at him: "You never smoked before."

Jiang Fengxing smiled bitterly: "Why, I want to smoke now, can't I?"

"Uncle, don't smoke. Eat candy." Xiaonian raised his head and handed out a piece of strawberry-flavored candy with his little hand. His voice was soft and milky: "This candy is delicious. This is Niannian's favorite flavor. ~”

Jiang Fengxing lowered his head and stared at the little pink dumpling in front of him, which was less than half his height.

Jiang Fengxing reached out and rubbed the little girl's head: "Okay, uncle doesn't smoke, uncle eats candy."

As a result, Jiang Fengxing unpacked Xiaonian's candy and held it in his mouth.

It tastes like strawberry, very sweet

Xiaonian looked at him eagerly: "Uncle, is it delicious?"

Sensing the anticipation in Xiaonian's eyes, Jiang Fengxing nodded, looking tired and gentle: "It's delicious."

"Child, I am also your uncle, why don't you give it to me?" Jiang Qianjun was dissatisfied, frowning and extending his hand: "I want it too."

Xiaonian's smile became even sweeter: "Okay! There are also apple-flavored candies every year for uncle to eat!"

This is Jiang Qianjun’s first time eating sweets as an adult

he frowned

Tu

Really sweet, very sweet

but

This was given to him by his niece

Even if it's poison, he still has to eat it

Xiaotian and Xiaohan remained silent. The two little boys looked at the manor in front of them that was full of red roses.

Obviously there are roses full of vitality everywhere.

But they always feel that this place seems extremely lonely and desolate

Xiaotian used sign language and asked Xiaohan: "Do you know where this is?"

Shen Xiaohan said with a stern face: "This should be the Rose Manor, the Rose Manor where my grandparents are buried."

Xiaotian was a little confused. He looked at the blooming roses in front of him.

This is the Rose Manor where grandparents are buried?

Jiang Xingzhou lowered his head in amusement and stared at Shen Xiaohan: "You kid, how come you know everything? Isn't this just your guess again?"

prior to

Jiang Xingzhou has already seen it. The eldest brother has investigated the information about He Xiaotian and Shen Xiaohan.

Including Shen Xiaonian, who looks innocent and harmless, they are all geniuses

Especially Shen Xiaohan, he is so smart that it is scary.

Jiang Xingzhou was a little curious and looked at Xiaohan: "Huh?"

Shen Xiaohan explained with a straight face: "I have investigated your information before, so I know the existence of this manor."

This explanation made it easier for Jiang Xingzhou to accept it.

After all, a lot of information about the Jiang family can be found online.

While they were talking

The last black business car that followed had also stopped.

He Licun's figure stepped out of the car

He strode towards the direction of the Jiang brothers

Jiang Qianjun frowned, squinting in He Licun's direction, ready to take action at any time.

Jiang Fengxing's palm fell on Jiang Qianjun's shoulder: "One of our own, don't mess around."

"Brother, just because you approve of him doesn't mean that I also approve of him." Jiang Qianjun's face was gloomy: "He Licun has ruined my good deeds time and time again. I have long disliked him. I want to see if he has this ability. , be my brother-in-law.”

I saw my second brother was about to fight with someone

Jiang Xingzhou smiled and took a step back. He was very happy to see this scene: "Second brother, when you do it later, it's better not to beat him too badly, otherwise, my little sister will feel distressed."

Xiaonian's face turned pale. She hugged her second uncle's hand and raised her head: "Second uncle, don't fight with daddy."

Jiang Qianjun frowned, picked up Xiaonian, and threw him into Jiang Xingzhou's arms.

Jiang Xingzhou's smile became even brighter, and he directly covered Xiaonian's eyes: "What are you afraid of? Your father will have to pass the test if he wants to join our Jiang family."

"Otherwise, why would he marry my little sister?"

Xiaonian was almost crying. She hugged Jiang Xingzhou's hand and said, "But... daddy is injured. Xiaonian doesn't want to see daddy fighting with his uncle."

Jiang Qianjun frowned: "Forget it, I won't take action against the injured, He Licun, you are lucky."

He Licun stared at him: "Well, thank you second uncle for being merciful."

Jiang Qianjun's frown tightened: "Oh, stop trying to get involved with me. There's no guarantee whether you and my little sister can make it work."

He Licun didn't reply to his words. He raised his eyes and looked at the huge manor decorated with red roses in front of him. Then, he strode towards the iron gate where Mr. Jiang and Shen Pianzhi entered just now.

See him going in

Jiang Qianjun's face immediately darkened, and with gloomy eyes he stepped forward and stopped in front of him: "He Licun, don't force me to do anything. Your He family is not worthy of entering here!"

He Licun stopped in his tracks: "I have no ill intentions. I hope the conflict between the Jiang family and the He family will end here. After so many years, it should be over."

When the two are in a stalemate

The old man who just brought Shen Pianzhi into the manor has come out.

With red eyes, he stared in the direction of He Licun: "He family boy, come here."

He Licun pursed his lips, bypassed Jiang Qianjun, and strode towards Mr. Jiang's direction.

He said respectfully: "Grandpa."

Mr. Jiang's eyes were red and he nodded: "He family boy, remember, if you choose to enter this manor today, if you dare to let down my granddaughter in the future, I will not do it even if I risk my life. Let you go."

He Licun paused and said word by word, "Grandpa, that day will never happen."

"Okay!" Mr. Jiang nodded with red eyes: "This is what your kid said! Remember what you said!"

Mr. Jiang exhaled heavily: "Go, she is inside. I think she needs you to accompany her now."

He Licun nodded solemnly, no longer hesitated, and strode towards the entrance.

Jiang Qianjun frowned: "Grandpa, he is from the He family, he is not qualified to enter!"

"Okay! Your grandfather and I have agreed. What else do you have to say?" Mr. Jiang glared at Jiang Qianjun: "You kid, don't cause trouble!"

Jiang Qianjun was dissatisfied: "Grandpa, you——"

"Okay! You also know that I am your grandfather!" Mr. Jiang was too lazy to continue the topic with him. He turned around and took Xiaonian back in Jiang Xingzhou's arms: "You brat, you don't know how to advise you at all. Second brother, you know how to watch the fun!"

In front of his grandfather, Jiang Xingzhou did not dare to make any mistakes

Although, he was a little disappointed when he didn't see his second brother taking action with He Licun.

He turned his head and looked towards the entrance of Rose Manor.

He Licun's figure has disappeared in the direction of the entrance.

he exhaled

I never expected that in my lifetime, I would still see the scene of the Jiang family shaking hands with the He family and making peace.

A dark light flashed in the depths of Jiang Xingzhou's amber eyes. He looked away, turned his head, and got into the car as well.

Rose Manor

Shen Pian knelt in front of an extremely grand tomb.

There are also red roses blooming beside the grave

black stone tombstone

There are small black and white portraits of Mr. Chiang and Mrs. Chiang from more than 20 years ago.

Staring at the two loving people in the little portrait, it seems like yesterday

Hearing the footsteps, Shen Pianzhi didn't look back. Her voice was low and hoarse: "I used to think that I was only a small relative, my mother didn't love me, and my father didn't love me."

Therefore, I have always asked myself that apart from grandma, Xiaohan, and Xiaonian, there is no one in this world worthy of my memory, and no one worthy of my wasting any emotion. "

"Until now, I didn't know that somewhere I didn't know, someone had always loved me and treated me like a treasure."

"Do you know how my parents died?"

Shen Pianzhi chuckled lightly. The smile did not reach her eyes, but was a little sad. She stared closely at the small black and white portrait on the tombstone, her eyes empty: "They got into a car accident because they were looking for me."

"Obviously, they can work together for a lifetime."

"He Licun, tell me, are there ghosts in this world?"

He Licun didn't answer, he just stood behind her and gently placed his palm on her shoulder.

Shen Liangzhi smiled sadly, stared at the tombstone, and continued: "I have always been an atheist, but now, I really hope that there are ghosts and gods in this world."

"I want to ask them, is it really worth it for me..."

A drop of clear tears rolled down Shen Pianzhi's chin and fell on the marble floor tiles

She kowtowed heavily in front of the tombstone and pressed her forehead to the cold ground.

这 一 拜

She is grateful to her parents for giving birth, and to her mother for her suffering in childbirth. She is also grateful to her guilt for having never had the opportunity to honor her parents for more than 20 years.

After a long time

When Shen Pianzhi stood up, her mood had returned to calm

He turned around and looked at the man beside him: "Thank you for accompanying me back to Europe."

"I should thank you, thank you for showing up and letting me know that there is such a feeling in the world." He Licun looked at her calm face, his eyes full of heartache, and rubbed her cheek with his fingertips: "With me in the future, I will Treat you as a treasure and never let others bully you."

"...But I have grown up and I don't need others to treat me as a treasure." Shen Pianzhi stared at him funny: "He Licun, where did you learn such disgusting words?"

He Licun: "This is not learned, this is what I feel in my heart."

Shen Liangzhi was not used to hearing such disgusting words, so she changed the subject: "I heard that my aunts are already waiting for me. Do you want to go with me?"

He Licun stared at her, breathing slightly: "As your boyfriend?"

Shen Pianzhi laughed at him: "Otherwise, as my patient, it's not impossible for you to do it."

After a few minutes

The two left Rose Manor

Fleet starts

this time

Heading towards the manor where the Jiang family currently lives!

at the same time

Inside the Jiang family’s super estate

In a huge European-style castle

A beautiful woman with stunning appearance and hot figure, wearing a black strapless dress, staring at the time on her watch, her face obviously impatient

She can't wait

A call was made directly to Jiang Xingzhou: "Jiang Xingzhou, you little bastard, are you kidding your aunt? It's been an hour. Even if you came from the airport, you should have walked back and forth!"

"I'm telling you, if I can't see you for another ten minutes, it's up to you!"

Jiang Xingzhou: "...Auntie, don't worry, we'll be there soon."

"But you have to be prepared."

"Today, my little sister brought her boyfriend back."

"What?!" Jiang Jingyu stood up instantly, eyes widened: "What did you say?! My niece came back with her boyfriend?"

"How is that man? Is he handsome? What is his family background?"

"My Jiang Jingyu's niece should at least marry a rich and handsome man, right? If the other party doesn't meet the requirements, I won't agree!"

Jiang Xingzhou laughed dryly and glanced at Shen Xiaonian, who was already three or four years old next to him: "Auntie, it's too late for you to say this."
