Chapter 138
Serenity replied breezily, “Okay, it’s settled then.”
Shawn was pleased too.
He was looking forward to Saturday arriving. Several cars suddenly stopped in front of the bookstore. Sawnn said, “I’ll go take a look.”
He turned around and left.
Soon, he returned and said to Serenity, “It’s your relatives.”
Serenity had just finished eating. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, “Since they’re here, I guess I can’t continue to be scared of them.”
She was not surprised that those outrageous people found this place.
Thanks to the blessings of a majority of the netizens, her uncles and cousins’ jobs were exposed. They also had good connections, and the incident made the trending news twice, so it was easy for them to find Serenity and her sister.
“Serenity.” The Hunt family brothers entered, led by Mike. A total of eight of them came, all dressed in branded goods and holding a set of keys in their hands.
They shook their keys from time to time as if the keys were made of gold.
However, they looked rather exhausted. It seemed like Serenity’s retaliation had hit them hard. They could not stand being scolded by the angry netizens.
Serenity did not inquire about her grandmother’s situation in the hospital. A kind-hearted person had sent her a private message, telling her that her grandmother could not have peace in the hospital. Many people ran to the ward to criticize her, infuriating the shrewish old woman.
The group of filial sons and grandsons were in the hospital, but they could not even protect a single patient. Heh!
“Oh, what brings all of you here at the same time? You even brought the whole party with you.”
She had many cousin brothers, but none of her cousin sisters came to the city. At the beginning when there was a lot of fake material exposed to the internet to garner attention, the uninformed netizens used their words as guns aimed at Serenity and her sister. In the entire Hunt family, not a single person stood up for the sisters.
Serenity walked to the cashier’s desk, sat down on a chair, and took out her tools for crafting as well as the materials she had prepared. Then, she started working on the miniature tree she promised to give to Zachary, as
well as the lucky cat.
“I don’t have that many stools in my shop, so I won’t tell you to sit. If you want to say something, then say it. I’m listening.”
Serenity was making her craft as she spoke. Her attitude ignited something in the Hunt brothers’ hearts.
Mike took a few deep breaths and spoke gently,“ Serenity, we’re a close knitted family and we share a blood as well. Can you not go that far? Yes, we were wrong. We apologize for that. However, our grandparents
are also your grandparents.
“They’re old and can’t withstand torment. It’s fine if you’re unwilling to pay for Grandmom’s treatment.
There are a lot of us, so if each of us chips in a little, it’ll be enough for her medical bills. However, you should at least go to the hospital to visit her. Grandmom was heartbroken at the things you said about us online. I’ve lost count of the amount of time she cried. It’s harmful to her condition.
“Serenity, delete that post of yours, and we’ll consider this matter closed. No matter what, we’re still family. You won’t be happy if we suffer too.”
After Mike was done with his speech, Serenity looked up at him and said in amusement, “Why won’t I be happy? I didn’t make anything up and slander you guys. I just stated the facts.
“As for visiting Grandmom in the hospital… I actually thought of visiting her and wondered how much money to give. Of course, I can’t pay for the medical fees. More than ten years ago, they said they don’t need Liberty and I to take care of them while they’re alive. They don’t need us to bury them when they die either. I also have a hard life and don’t make a lot of money. I don’t have much left after deducting all the necessary expenses.”
