When Xia Zicheng heard Xia Yuntao's voice, he just curled his lip indifferently.

This place, which claims to be the most prosperous city in China, is not much better than the slums in the United States.

However, when he turned to face the old man, he immediately put on a fawning smile, "Grandpa, you're finally back."

How could you hire someone like that to work in your house? She has no manners at all. I told her I'm your grandson, the eldest son of this family, but she still wouldn't let me in.

Grandpa, you have no idea how difficult it was for me to come back. The flight and layover took over thirty hours. I'm so tired I could just collapse and fall asleep.

After saying that, he stepped forward, took the old man's arm, and helped him up, saying, "Grandpa, you know me. After you scolded me last time, I have now honestly realized that I was wrong."

I was just too tired and too angry, so I just said it to vent my frustration.

"Even abroad, let alone in China, I wouldn't dare do anything to hurt anyone!"

"snort!"

Xia Yuntao glanced at him, snorted coldly, and walked into the courtyard.

Xia Zicheng helped him and followed him inside. When they reached the gate, Xia Zicheng turned around, gave Aunt Zhang a nasty look, and then put two fingers to his temples, making a "biu" gesture.

Aunt Zhang, who was about to follow them into the house, was instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

After Xia Zicheng and Xia Yuntao entered the house, Xia Zicheng looked around and frowned with some disdain.

Didn't the people in China who gave him the information say that the old man was making a lot of money in the country?

It's still at least a billion or so.

The old man's house only looks grand from the outside; there's not a single valuable item inside.

No matter how you look at it, the old man doesn't seem like he's made a fortune!

However, he only thought about it in his heart and didn't dare to reveal his thoughts.

Moreover, the old man's house isn't very well decorated, which is actually acceptable.

After all, this old man has always advocated thrift and frugality. Back then, he took so many antiques and small goldfish with him, which was enough for his family to squander for generations, but he still insisted on living a stingy life.

Anyway, he's back now, so we can't let him come all this way for nothing.

We need to get some money from the old man first.

Xia Yuntao could tell what his grandson was thinking just by looking at his eyes darting around.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

They regretted even more that they had moved their entire family abroad to avoid trouble.

If I had chosen to stay in China at that time, I would have suffered some financial losses, and I might have also suffered physical and mental torment.

But just like Bei Xiao's maternal grandfather, as long as the descendants are educated well, why worry that the family cannot make a comeback and prosper again.

Now, whether it's his sons or grandsons, they're either cowardly and incompetent or arrogant and domineering, spending their days indulging in debauchery and extravagance.

There isn't even one person capable of shouldering the responsibility of the family.

Xia Yuntao had no interest in saying anything more to this good-for-nothing grandson. "Aunt Zhang, could you please take him to the guest room upstairs and let him rest for a while?"

When Aunt Zhang heard Xia Yuntao call her, she looked at Xia Zicheng and felt a little apprehensive.

He instinctively took two steps back, his voice filled with fear as he said, "Mr. Xia..."

Xia Yuntao could tell that Aunt Zhang was scared, so he waved his hand and said to the driver, "Xiao Li, please take him upstairs."

Xia Zicheng thought that the old man was still wary of him, and that he couldn't possibly get his hands on the old man's money in just a day or two.

There's no need to rush to show off now. He yawned and followed Xiao Li upstairs to sleep and adjust to the time difference.

As soon as Xia Zicheng left, Aunt Zhang stood nervously in front of Xia Yuntao and said, "Sir, I would like to resign."

Eight years after Xia Yuntao returned, Aunt Zhang worked for the Xia family for eight years.

He was somewhat surprised to hear Aunt Zhang say this.

Looking up and seeing Aunt Zhang's face, pale with fear, he understood everything. Aunt Zhang had been terrified by that unfilial descendant.

Xia Yuntao said apologetically to Aunt Zhang, "Little Zhang, I'm sorry, my unfilial son scared you."

Aunt Zhang waved her hands repeatedly, "Sir, you're too kind. I'm just a little timid."

She was indeed startled by the "biu" gesture Xia Zicheng made before he came in.

She went out to work to save more money so that she could enjoy her grandchildren when she got older. She didn't want to risk her life for money.

Xia Yuntao originally intended to give Aunt Zhang two extra months' salary as compensation for her emotional distress before letting her leave.

But thinking about how meticulous Aunt Zhang was in her work and how her cooking was especially to my liking, I realized that if she left, it would be hard to find a maid who suited my taste so well in the future.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Xiao Zhang, if you're scared here, why don't you go to Bei Xiao and Qiao Qiao's place? My wife is there right now. I'll give you an extra twenty yuan a month."

Aunt Zhang originally intended to give up her job because she was frightened by Xia Zicheng.

Now she can avoid contact with Xia Zicheng and even get a raise; it's like a windfall.

She thanked Grandpa Xia repeatedly and then agreed.

After she finished packing, Grandpa Xia had the driver take her to Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao's place.

Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao now live with Grandma Xia and their two children in the old Western-style house left to them by their maternal grandfather.

When Aunt Zhang arrived, everyone gathered in the living room to chat with Grandma Xia.

Everyone was a little surprised to see Aunt Zhang arrive.

Grandma Xia stood up and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what brings you here?"

Aunt Zhang avoided Grandma Xia's gaze, "The old gentleman said you'll be staying here temporarily, and asked me to come and take care of you."

Grandma Xia was a little anxious, "Xiao Zhang, I have Bei Xiao and Qiao Qiao here, I don't need you."

The old man is all alone over there. What will he do if you come over?

You should go back right away!

After Grandma Xia finished speaking, she saw that Aunt Zhang not only had no intention of going back, but also looked very troubled.

Grandma Xia instantly understood. "Xiao Zhang, tell me the truth, did something happen over there? Did that bastard do something?"

Aunt Zhang stopped hiding it and told Grandma Xia everything Xia Zicheng had done.

After hearing this, Grandma Xia stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Yang Qiaoqiao reacted quickly and caught her.

"Unworthy descendants! Unworthy descendants!" Grandma Xia sighed twice in sorrow.

Then, she stood up firmly. "That bastard has laid a hand on the old man before. I'm worried about leaving him alone over there. I have to go back and stay with him."
