Chapter 191 Sense of Superiority

After leaving the venue, Jiang Haozhe planned to take her to the mall. "Your grandma has been obsessed with shopping lately. Yesterday she said she wanted to buy something... We'll stop by the mall later. Ask her what she wants and buy it for her."

"Okay." Jiang Yao took out his cell phone and called back to inquire.

It was unclear what Mrs. Jiang on the other end of the phone said. Jiang Yao looked helpless and kept replying, "Okay, I promise you."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao smiled and said without waiting for his uncle to ask, "Grandma said that she wants to go shopping in person. This is the fun of shopping."

Jiang Haozhe also laughed, "She, the older she gets, the more she acts like a child. Forget it, I'll drive back to pick her up!"

In the end, after the two of them returned, Jiang Yao still accompanied his grandmother to the mall.

The two of them walked from shop to shop. Perhaps because she had her granddaughter by her side, Mrs. Jiang was in a particularly good mood today and bought many small items. They were not valuable, but they were very novel to her.

Jiang Yao also indulged her.

During this time, Mrs. Jiang casually said, "Yaoyao, do you want to buy a gift for the kid from the Li family?"

Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat, but he feigned composure, "Why should I buy it for him?"

Old Madam Jiang cast a meaningful look at her. "I thought you were making good progress recently. Isn't there any further breakthrough?"

Jiang Yao's palms were numb now. She didn't know whether her grandmother's words meant support or opposition.

I don’t know how to answer this appropriately.

Just when the atmosphere was becoming awkward, a surprised voice came from not far away, "Zhou Qinglan?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang turned around and saw the old woman walking towards her. She looked confused for a moment before she suddenly realized, "You are... Li Guihua?"

"It's me! I didn't expect to see you in a place like this." Li Guihua looked them over. "Are you out shopping with your granddaughter?"

"Yes!" Old Mrs. Jiang enthusiastically introduced Jiang Yao, who was standing beside her. "This is your Grandma Li, my former best friend. We haven't seen each other for almost forty years. I almost didn't recognize her."

Jiang Yao finally understood and nodded, "Hello, Grandma Li."

Li Guihua did not expect that after more than 40 years, Zhou Qinglan not only did not become as old as herself, but her temperament became more elegant. She wore a cheongsam and looked like those wealthy old ladies in TV dramas.

But in her impression, Zhou Qinglan was just a girl from a poor family.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little superior. "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we are all old. But the older I get, the more free I have. My son is now a supervisor in a large company, managing dozens of subordinates.

My daughter has married a local big boss and is now at home taking care of her husband and children. Life is getting better and better."

As she spoke in a boastful manner, the smile on Mrs. Jiang's face faded a little, but she still agreed, "Congratulations, you are so lucky."

Li Guihua smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face.

Jiang Yao's mouth twitched, "Grandma, let's go back after we buy the things!"

"Okay." Old Mrs. Jiang also nodded and said politely to Li Guihua: "Guihua, I'm going back now. If you have time, you can come to my house to play."

Unexpectedly, Li Guihua took over the conversation, "I'm free now. We haven't been together for a long time. Let's go to your house and chat!"

Old Mrs. Jiang: “…”

Jiang Yao: "..."

I didn't expect that the other party would actually come after I just mentioned it casually.

But it's hard to refuse now that things have come to this.

"Then let's go."

"Wait a minute, my grandson is about to get out of school. Come with me to pick him up and then take him there!" Li Guihua continued.

Old Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yao looked at each other helplessly, and finally had to agree to drive her to the kindergarten.

Along the way, Li Guihua kept showing off: "Let me tell you, this kindergarten is the best bilingual school in the local area. The foreign language teachers are all hired from abroad, and the tuition fee is 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year!

My son is very focused on the upbringing of the next generation, so he wants to give my grandson the best treatment. He really spends money like water, but fortunately, my son can earn money to support the family and even bought a house in the local area. He bought a house worth two million yuan without any hesitation..."

The more she spoke, the more proud she became. She never imagined that the car she was riding in was worth more than two million.

Jiang Yao's ears were almost getting calluses from listening so much.

But because of his status as an elder, he did not interrupt.

After Li Guihua finished her own speech and heard no one else echo her praise, she turned around and asked Old Lady Jiang, "Speaking of which, your granddaughter is not young anymore. Where is she doing now?"

Before Mrs. Jiang could reply, Jiang Yao spoke up, "I'm still in school."

It’s not really a lie that I haven’t officially graduated as a graduate student.

But when Li Guihua heard these words, it meant that nothing was accomplished.

A hint of contempt suddenly flashed in her eyes, and her sense of superiority became even stronger.

"Grandma!" Just then, a little fat boy ran out from inside.

"Oh, my precious grandson!" Li Guihua picked him up and kissed him. "You must have worked hard at school. Are you tired? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"I want fried chicken, egg tarts, and a lot of toys..." The little fat boy immediately made his request.

"Okay, okay, when we get to your grandma's house, let her treat you to a meal and some fun."

Li Guihua said as a matter of course, "Qinglan, you shouldn't mind!"

Of course, Mrs. Jiang couldn't say that she didn't even want to invite the children, so the group quickly returned to the villa.

Standing at the door, Li Guihua, who had just looked so proud, suddenly stopped.

"Wow, it's a big villa! My aunt's house isn't that big!" The little fat boy screamed in surprise and rushed into the villa without changing his shoes.

Li Guihua's cheeks turned red.

Even if she didn't know the price of the car, she knew that a villa cost hundreds of millions or even tens of millions.

It turns out that she has been bragging in vain all the way.

No matter how promising your sons and daughters are, they are just employees at the top of the company and cannot afford to live in such a luxury house.

"Well, it's just barely acceptable!" Li Guihua walked in with all her might.

Her eyes swept around the room greedily. Every decoration, mural and furnishing was so exquisite that she was extremely envious.

Of course, she also had to teach him, "To buy such a big villa, it must have taken the whole family's efforts and spent all their savings. It's not easy. So if you ask me, don't be too vain and be down-to-earth."

Jiang Yao frowned, but before he could say anything, Old Madam Jiang said calmly, "It's nothing, just a small amount of money. As long as my granddaughter is happy living here, that's all that matters."

Li Guihua was choked and her face turned ugly.

At this time, Wang Ma came out from the kitchen. "Miss, Madam, are the guests coming? I'll go prepare tea for them."

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "Thank you for your help, Aunt Wang."

After Wang Ma left, Li Guihua took advantage of the situation again and said, "You even hired a nanny! Things like housework should be left to girls to practice on their own. Your granddaughter is an adult now. She's going to get married and raise children. Shouldn't she learn more?"
