Chapter 29 My Uncle Likes You (1/2)

Did James do something to the Zhang family?

It didn't come as much of a surprise to Nina. It could be because James figured out that Isabella was trying to use him and he wanted to get even. He might have gotten furious from embarrassment, and wanted to save face.

”Mimi, you are wrong.” Nina couldn't help but roll her eyes. ”James dealing with the Zhang family has nothing to do with me.”

After all, she didn't hold that much influence on him.

Michelle puffed up her chubby cheeks in defeat and looked regretful. 'Nini has no one to rely on. It would be great if James could serve as her backer.

He is rich, powerful and very good-looking.'

”Nini, do you know how miserable the Zhang family is right now? They are on the verge of declaring bankruptcy, and Isabella will soon be a penniless girl. Serves her right for having offended James,” Michelle gossiped. At the mere mention of the miserable situation the Zhang family was in, she looked elated, as if she had a deep grudge against Isabella.

And of course, there was indeed a deep animosity between them. Isabella and Michelle used to be members of the same club. At that time, Isabella would order Michelle around like a servant, asking her to do endless things for her every day. And whenever Isabella was unhappy, she would vent it all out on Michelle and scold her in front of the whole club.

Had her parents not imbibed in her not to lower herself to the same level as the impolite and uncultured people, Michelle would not have been able to bear the humiliation.

When she saw the post that Isabella had been beaten up in the street, she laughed to her heart's content. Finally, someone had helped her vent her anger and take her revenge. Now, seeing the Zhang family in dire straits, she even felt more euphoric and she grinned from ear to ear with pleasure.

”They are going bankrupt?” The Shi family might have gotten rid of the Zhang family easily with the flick of a finger, but that was not the case with Isabella's mother's family. After thinking for a while, Nina said, ”Isabella's mother is the chairman of Fang Group. Running the Zhang family into bankruptcy would take some time.”

Michelle was still laughing and couldn't keep her happiness in.

”Stop laughing. The Zhang family won't go bankrupt that easily.” Nina had investigated Isabella's family background prior to today. Amelia was the only child and heiress of the Fang family. And Isabella was also the only child of Amelia.

As the only child, Isabella was destined to inherit the properties of both the Fang family and the Zhang family. Even without the Zhang family, there was still the Fang family to fall back on.

”What are you saying? Why is that?” The smile on Michelle's face suddenly froze, and the smell of bread in her hand also smelt a bit foul.

”Although it is not good conduct to take pleasure in another person's misfortune, Isabella deserves it. She is a bad person and she has bullied me, and even framed you. What's more, she even defamed you with her post on the school forum, which resulted to people scolding you wrongfully,” Michelle declared as she defended Nina like a tigress defending her cub. By now, Michelle had taken Nina under her wing as her best friend. Anyone who dared to bully Nina deserved nothing but bad luck.

Nina frowned. ”How did you know?”

Just as Michelle was about to answer, James chimed in, ”I told her, of course.”

He raised his eyebrows towards the two girls, and sat next to them. Seeing a bottle of juice on the table, he rudely picked it up and took a sip from the unopened juice.

After that, he crossed her legs and said smugly, ”Aunt... Senior, are you satisfied with the current situation the Zhang family is in?”

He had initially intended to call her Aunt Nina, but when he saw the stern warning in Nina's eyes, he changed the way he addressed her.

Nina was glaring with unconcealed displeasure at James. How dare he call her Aunt Nina again! He had almost tricked her to death last night.

”And go get a drink for yourself,” Nina berated him and took back the juice angrily without even throwing him a glance.

”Mr. Shi, why are you calling Nini 'Senior'? Is it because she is your senior by one grade? If so, why aren't you calling me 'Senior' as well?” Michelle also took a sip from her juice, and stared at him with her questioning black eyes.

”You are younger than me. Why should I call you 'Senior'? But Nina is different. No matter what, she will be superior to me in seniority in all aspects.” James had been watching in the dark last night and saw how John carried Nina away.

A man was carrying a beautiful girl away. James could already assume what would happen next without giving it much thought.

Henry was indeed a wise man and had correctly predicted that Nina would be James' aunt sooner or later.

James was sure that John must have taken a big liking to Nina. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dealt with the Zhang family without mercy and even gave a stern warn

ing to the Fang family.

Another big family in the city was about to disappear.

”James, if you can't control your mouth and keep on talking nonsense, I'll take a needle to sew it to shut you up.” Nina fumed. What exactly did James want to imply by seniority?

Did he think she would not understand what he truly meant to say?

She swore she would never marry his proud and narcissistic uncle, unless she became blind.
