Chapter 443
According to the seniority, Caden should call out “Fifth Uncle” and “Sixth Uncle“.
So when they entered, neither of the two elders nor their family members stood up.
After all, the age of their youngest son was enough to be Caden’s father.
This is not Chicago here, and it’s not Caden’s turn to be in charge.
“Come in, have a seat.”
Uncle Wu glanced at Caden and Madelynn behind him and pointed to the farthest spot.
Madelynn glanced at her position and furrowed her brows slightly.
Seating arrangement was highly emphasized during banquets.
No matter what, today Caden and she were both hosts and guests, how could they sit at the end?
“Mr. Caden…” she said discontentedly.
“Sit down.”
Caden calmly pulled Madelynn to sit down.
The dishes on the table had clearly been touched, and even the wine was only half a bottle left.
Uncle Liu casually threw the tissue he used to wipe his hands onto the plate full of bones, and said nonchalantly, “Your fifth uncle and I were hungry, so we just had a little bit. You’re younger, so you wouldn’t mind.”
Leftover food, leftover dishes, leftover wine. This is not a welcoming gesture, but clearly a show of dominance towards Caden.
Caden remained unusually calm and said, “It’s alright, I asked the waiter to bring a bowl of bird’s nest congee. Madelynn caught a cold, so it’s better for her to eat something hot.”
Upon hearing this, Madelynn’s cheeks flushed red and she shyly said, “Mr. Caden, I am fine.”
Uncle Wu and Uncle Liu immediately turned their gaze to Madelynn.
“They say you two are in love, we didn’t believe it, but we didn’t expect you to be so in love. It seems like we will be attending your wedding
soon.”
“You two are laughing at me.” Madelynn also didn’t deny it, thoroughly enjoying the attention.
Bird’s nest porridge was served, Caden deliberately touched the temperature before handing it to Madelynn.
Madelynn happily started eating.
Uncle Wu and Uncle Liu exchanged a glance and signaled the waiter to pour Caden a drink.
“Caden, even though the Melendez family is no longer able to support you, you don’t really have to worry about the mine. We can’t let you, this young generation, be burdened with your fiancée, right?” Uncle Five said.
“Oh? How did the two uncles plan to do it?”
Caden moved his wine glass slightly, but didn’t drink. Instead, he considerately picked up some food for Madelynn.
Uncle Liu said indifferently, “Find a few people to secretly pressure those family members to sign documents admitting that it was their own violation of regulations. Once we distance ourselves from the situation, just give them some money.”
“How much money?”
“With this document, at most they will be given humanitarian expenses, but it’s useless even if they want to sue to death. They are just some rural people who only know how to do hard labor, what do they know about the law?” Uncle Liu laughed heartily and didn’t care.
