"How can you say that?" His uncle slapped the table.
His angry actions and words attracted the attention of all the people in the cafe. They all looked at us, including Sienna's worried eyes.
I looked in Sienna's direction and nodded to her with a smile, indicating that she didn't have to worry.
After comforting Sienna, I looked at my uncle and said, "Uncle, you didn't mishear. Whether this house has anything to do with you or not, it has nothing to do with me."
"How can you talk to me like that? I'm your uncle." His voice was low, trying to convince me.
"Maybe he realized that he wasn't at home or outside, so he deliberately kept his voice down when talking to me. It wasn't as loud as it was just now."
The veins on my uncle's forehead stood out, as if he was trying to suppress his anger. But I was confused. "What's there to be angry about, uncle? I was angry just because I said I wouldn't give him money. Then what about me? Who should I be angry with?"
I nodded to my uncle and said slowly, "Uncle is still my uncle, but the house is my mother's house. They have nothing to do with each other. I hope you can understand what I mean."
"I don't know what you mean. I only know that I gave this house to your mother. Otherwise, with your mother's financial strength, how could she have money to buy this house?"
"But this is all your business. Now that my mother is gone, there is nothing to be investigated into," I said softly.
However, his uncle didn't agree with me. He stood up from the sofa angrily, pointed at me and said angrily, "Chelsea, if you don't give us money this time, your aunt and I will never leave Luo City. We will spend time with you!" "Is it really good for uncle to do this?" Sienna suddenly came over and said.
I didn't expect that Sienna would suddenly come over. I quickly pulled her sleeve and motioned for her to hurry over. Don't stay here. But Sienna didn't pay attention to me and just stood there.
The uncle on the opposite side also noticed Sienna and questioned me angrily, "Do you know this person?"
However, before I could answer, Sienna took the lead to say, "It doesn't matter whether I know her or not. You can treat me as a passer-by who can't listen to you anymore."
"What's wrong with you? I'm talking to my niece. What does it have to do with you?" His uncle said angrily.
Hearing his uncle's words, Sienna laughed. "She is your niece. Why can't I see it at all? People who don't know will think that she is your enemy."
"Who told you to talk like that? We don't need you to talk about our family affairs." Uncle was so angry that his face turned red.
"Uncle, this matter does have nothing to do with me. I just can't stand it. What does your niece's house have to do with you? Why must I give you money? Even if others hear this, they will find it incredible."
Sienna continued, "According to what you said, when you paid for the house at the beginning, you should take out the evidence when you have the money to buy it. Take your evidence and go to the court. I will naturally give you a sum of money. Is this much more meaningful than forcing your niece to ask for money like this?"
"You, you, you!" Uncle didn't say a second word for a long time.
Looking at my uncle eating the turtle, I felt a little comfortable and sad.
I pulled Sienna and whispered, "Almost enough."
