4409 The Other Side 378

"You're refusing to come clean with it?"

The man snorted. "I'm working so hard to raise your childhood sweetheart, yet you don't appreciate it at all. How dare you talk back to me? Where's your conscience?"

Youyou immediately explained to his mother, "I just feel bad for Natalia having to be in such a cold and desolate place like a hospital. I want to help her find a home. But Uncle just has to come up with some indecent reasons. Damn pervert."

Gong Jie was furious. "Who are you calling a pervert?"

The boy rolled his eyes arrogantly. "I'm talking about you, damn pervert."

"You…" The man pushed Yun Shishi and Little Yichen aside as he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. "That's it, kiddo. There'll be no end to this now!"

With that, he angrily reached out to tug at the boy's cheek. Youyou's delicate face could not withstand his tugging of course. It contorted in pain.

Suppressing his laughter, Little Yichen pretended to dissuade the man. "Uncle, stop bullying Youyou. Be careful not to ruin his face!"

"I'll take full responsibility for ruining it."

Youyou did not cry out in pain. Instead, he reached out to grab Gong Jie's face.

Unfortunately, the man had much longer arms than him.

Hence it was easy for him to tug at the boy's cheek, but the boy could not reach him.

Youyou was exasperated. "Gong Jie!" The little guy was so angry that he called the man by his name. One could imagine how angry he was.

The man was even more amused now and had no intention of letting go. "Call me a pervert, will you? I'll give you a chance to address me respectfully and I'll let you go."

"In your dreams!"

"Well, I won't stand on ceremony then." With that, Gong Jie tightened his grip.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone was amused. Even Natalisa could not help but laugh at this scene.

Her laughter caught the Youyou's sharp ears immediately. He turned to look at her and was caught off guard when he saw that she was here too.

"Let go!" He glared at Gong Jie in warning.

When the man realized Natalisa's presence, he immediately let go.

The uncle and nephew looked at the subject of their contention awkwardly.

"Enough, stop fooling around." Yun Shishi clapped her hands. "Today is a day worth celebrating. Why don't we decide how we're going to celebrate?"

Gong Jie agreed with her that this was a great suggestion.

"Uncle, how do you plan to celebrate?"

"Eh? Why don't we have a barbecue at the beach? There were many expensive and rare wines in his wine cellar. We'll bring them out today to finish them off."

The man's face was filled with despair at being betrayed by Alice. "No! Those wines are vintage. No way."

"Vintage?" Intrigued, Mu Yazhe shot a glance at his brother-in-law.

Alice immediately hinted, "I've heard there's a bottle of 1775 Shirley Wine stashed away somewhere. It's very rarely found on the market today. The wine is priceless and some sold at high prices turn out to be fake. Xiao Jie's Shirley Wine is the real deal. At the time he brought this bottle back, it had the most unique fragrance."

Mu Yazhe's interest was piqued. "Looks like we're in for a treat today."

Gong Jie snorted. "Don't even think about it. This wine is for me to enjoy in the future. Don't even have any design on it!"

Yun Shishi felt aggrieved. "It's a 1775 Sherry. I've heard of it, but I've never seen it before. Why don't you show it to me, then at least I'd be less ignorant?"

Gong Jie looked bewildered and was stumped. It was fine to show it off, but the problem was whether there would be anything left of it the moment it came out of hiding!
