Gu Nianci was stunned for a while before she came to her senses. Her eyes were red, tears were welling up, and her lips were trembling.

Sang Liangjie seemed startled as well, his eyes wide with surprise, as if he were dreaming. Sun Qiuyun was the first to react, and said sternly, "Liangjie, apologize to your great-aunt!"

"It's nothing... The child is tired, I really shouldn't have said too much..." Gu Nianci said kindly.

Sang Huaiyuan's eyes were unusually stern. "Your great-aunt was just concerned about you. Liangjie, do you even respect your elders? Apologize right now!"

The old lady also gave him a few words of advice. They couldn't believe that their grandson's temper had become so bad. He got angry after just a few words. Where was his former humility?

They all believed that their son (grandson) had gone astray outside, and the Sang family was determined to teach him a lesson.

"Grandma, I'm sorry... I... I don't know what happened... I've been under too much pressure lately..." Sang Liangjie stammered, surprised and uneasy.

These past few days, he seems to have been unable to control his temper. Gu Nianci wasn't the first person he lost his temper with. Before boarding the plane, he also lost his temper with a passenger who accidentally bumped into him. And yesterday, he seemed to lose his temper again.

After returning to Beijing, Sang Liangjie decided to consult a psychologist, perhaps because the recent work pressure had been too great, leading to high levels of mental stress!

When Gu Nianci saw the child apologize, her distress immediately disappeared. Instead, she realized she had been overthinking things. "It's nothing. Work is stressful these days, so you need to take care of yourself. Get some rest these next few days!"

Sang Liangjie nodded slightly, but his mind was heavy with worries, and the sorrow between his brows grew deeper and deeper.

Ye Qingqing frowned, feeling that something was off. However, her goodwill towards Sang Liangjie had faded considerably. Gu Nianci was her grandmother, and although she was confused and nagging, Gu Nianci hadn't done anything wrong. It was wrong of Sang Liangjie to yell at her grandmother for no reason. Ye Qingqing felt uneasy about this.

After the New Year, Ye Qingqing decided to bring Gu Nianci to live with her. No matter how nice other people's homes are, they are not her own. She would tell the old lady later.

After arriving at the Sang residence, everyone happily prepared for the New Year, while Lu Mo went back to his own home. Before leaving, he reminded Ye Qingqing, "Your cousin is acting strangely; there are some things you shouldn't tell him."

"Yes, I know. I'll bring my grandma home to live after the Lantern Festival." Ye Qingqing nodded.

Sang Huaiyuan and his wife, along with the old lady, were truly kind, but Sang Liangjie's attitude just now made her very uncomfortable.

After seeing Lu Mo off, Ye Qingqing went back to help Gu Nianci make dumplings. Xiao Li had gone back to his hometown for the New Year a few days ago. Gu Nianci and Sun Qiuyun prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, but Sun Qiuyun only helped out; Gu Nianci was the one in charge of cooking.

After taking a bath, Sang Liangjie felt much better. He chatted with Ye Mingcheng and the old lady in the living room. He looked quite refined and showed great respect to Ye Mingcheng.

He also brought gifts for everyone, including Ye Tong. It was a beautiful Go set. When Xiao Tong heard it was a Go set, she smiled happily and reached out to take it. However, the Go set was carved from stone and was heavier than a regular Go set. Xiao Tong couldn't catch it in time, and the Go box fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Everyone was startled, but fortunately the box was well-packaged and didn't break, nor did the chess pieces fall out. Ye Mingcheng quickly picked up the chess pieces and said with a smile, "They're quite heavy, no wonder Xiao Tong couldn't catch them."

The others breathed a sigh of relief. It would be so unlucky to break something during the Lunar New Year. Fortunately, nothing happened. Everyone's attention was focused on the game of Go, and no one noticed that Sang Liangjie's face looked terrible, and the gloom between his brows seemed about to explode.
