They were totally in different circles. Joel could not possibly know the Crawford family was the richest family around. Most people in the Dudroinia would not be able to identify who was the richest man, let alone knowing them in real life. All Joel did was scrolling through his phone and looked at videos of pretty ladies dancing; so he was totally ignorant about it. He said enviously, "Tsk, you’re so rich. You’re a young lady from a rich family; it’s such a torture for you to visit our poor place." He then turned and talked to Huxley, "Uncle Huxley, why are you still spacing out? Serve them your best tea!" He then picked up the tea on the table and said in dissatisfaction, "Where did you get this tea, this smells like a cheap tea! How dare you serve it to a young lady from such a wealthy family? No wonder someone splashed it just now!"
Lilly was speechless. Uncle Gilbert splashed it because this uncle was the one refilling his tea. She pouted and muttered, "Master, I dislike this man." Plabo said, "I know right? He’ll be beaten up to death someday." Lilly totally agreed with his words.
Huxley was anxious, he did not expect Gilbert to be someone this rich when he invited him over! "Mr. Gilbert, I’ll get a cup of new tea for you…" Gilbert pressed his shoulder and said it with a smile, "It’s alright, this tea is nice. I just didn’t want to drink a tea poured by a son of a b*tch." Everyone was shocked hearing his words; they all remained silent in awkwardness, but they actually felt happy as someone actually stood up to Joel; they did not do it because they were all relatives.
Gilbert stood up and said, "Lilly, let’s go and see what we can help them with." Everyone tried to stop him, but he did not want to sit here anymore, so he chose to bring Lilly to walk around. After he walked away, everyone was blaming Joel. "Joel, have you lost your mind? How dare you speak like this to our guest?"
"You’ve always enraged people with your unkind words; and now, you just had to humiliate our guest?"
"We should have asked Ruby’s cousin to sew your mouth!" Huxley reprimanded Joel for half an hour; and he was a shame. So, he used an excuse to walk away too.
