Without Mrs. Shao's summons, Yuan Jia did not dare to go to Lan Ju rashly, but sat in Yian Cottage where her son lived and drank tea.

"Yian, is your grandma in a good mood today? It's been more than half a year, and she never saw me the few times I came. But today, the sun rose from the west, and she actually took the initiative to invite me to dinner."

Shao Yian said disapprovingly, "Mom, I've already told you not to worry. Grandma only has me as her grandson, and sooner or later this huge family business will be handed over to me. Grandma can be angry for a while, but can she be angry for the rest of her life?"

Yuan Jia was so shocked that she almost covered her son's mouth. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she scolded him angrily:

"I have reminded you many times that when you are here, you must be careful with your words and actions, and never let anyone catch you in the act."

"What is there to be afraid of? Am I wrong? I will be 19 soon. Even if my father has another son in the future, he will be 20 years older than me. Can I really lose to a child who is still wet behind the ears?"

When Yuan Jia heard his son mention his age, he remembered another thing.

"Yian, how are you and Qianqian getting along?"

When it comes to Ji Qianqian, Shao Yian's face is full of impatience. "Mom, I don't like Ji Qianqian. She's not good-looking and has a bad temper. You don't know how difficult she is. I bought her a diamond watch for her birthday, but she thought my gift was too cheap and not an international brand. She actually threw it into the trash can in front of everyone, causing everyone to laugh at me for being stingy!"

"Is that true? What did you tell me before?"

"I don't have the nerve to talk about this kind of thing."

"What happened next? Did you find the watch?"

"Mom, are you kidding me? She threw something out of the trash can in public, and I picked it up. Don't you think I've been laughed at enough?"

"Then you can find someone to pick it up for you quietly. It's such a good diamond watch, it would be a shame to just throw it away. If she doesn't want it, I can give it to other friends as a favor."

Shao Yian didn't care. "It's just over 200 yuan. There's nothing to be sorry about."

Hearing this, Yuan Jia was a little suspicious, "What kind of diamond watch did you buy that's so cheap?"

"It's the Shanghai brand, but the diamond is smaller. But it looks pretty good."

After hearing this, Yuan Jia couldn't help but complain to her son, "You know she's a face-conscious person, if you're going to give her a gift, why not give her something better?"

"I also want to buy her a Cartier diamond watch, but the cheapest one costs more than a thousand. What if she accepts it and then the Queen Mother doesn't care about me? Wouldn't that be a big loss for me?"

Yuan Jia was speechless.

For a noble lady like Ji Qianqian, a famous watch worth a thousand dollars is really nothing, and the other party will not look at her son with new eyes just because of such a watch.

Alas~ If she were Mrs. Shao, a noble lady like Ji Qianqian would be attracted to her like a butterfly, and she wouldn't have to worry so much about planning for her son's future.

"Ms. Yuan, Master Yi'an, Madam invites you to have dinner."

Upon hearing the message, Yuan Jia immediately tidied up her appearance and went to Lanju with her son.

"Grandma, it's finally time for dinner. I'm almost starving."

Seeing the exquisitely presented and delicious dishes on the table, Shao Yian couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, but Yuan Jia quickly pulled her son.

Shao Yian also reacted quickly and sat up straight.

Mrs. Shao raised her chin nonchalantly and said, "Eat. There's no one here, so there's no need to be polite."

Shao Yian chuckled, "Grandma still loves me the most."

"Well, grandma's braised pork shreds are still the best. The sweet sauce is really well-seasoned! And this tofu is also stewed well, soft, tender and smooth, so delicious that my tongue almost fell off."

"If you like it, eat more."

Eat more and talk less.

Yuan Jia heard Mrs. Shao's subtext and tactfully reminded her son, "Okay, just eat quietly and don't talk so much. Be careful not to choke."

"oh."

Mrs. Shao nodded, "It's okay, let's eat."

"yes."

The dinner ended in a quiet atmosphere.

After dinner, the three of them went to the living room to drink tea.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Yuan Jia saw that it was almost time, so she got up and prepared to say goodbye.

"Madam, thank you for your hospitality. Yi An and I will go back first. You should get some rest early."

"not busy."

Mrs. Shao calmly put down the teacup in her hand and signaled Sister Hua to take out the prepared things.

"Ma'am, what is this?"

Looking at the bill in his hand, Yuan Jia's face was full of confusion and puzzlement.

Mrs. Shao smiled and said, "Didn't Yi'an tell you? He lost his temper at my place this afternoon, beat up my people, and broke a pot of my emerald orchid.

I got this pot of Jade Orchid from a friend with great difficulty. It cost me three thousand. And Sister Hua’s face, although she wasn’t injured, but I still have to pay for her mental condolence. Let’s say one hundred, the total is three thousand one. When do you think you can send the money over?”

Only then did Yuan Jia realize that tonight's meal was a Hongmen Banquet specially prepared for her.

"Grandma, I know I was wrong. I was the one who dropped the Jade Orchid. Please don't make things difficult for my mom."

Hearing Shao Yian's plea, Mrs. Shao gave him some praise and said, "You are still somewhat filial. You should bear the responsibility yourself. I will deduct it from your pocket money."

Shao Yian was dumbfounded.

His monthly pocket money is only 200 yuan, and 3,100 yuan will be deducted for one year and three months. In addition, he was punished by Shao Lin for deducting his pocket money for half a year because of his previous mistakes. With this 3,100 yuan, wouldn't he not get any pocket money for almost two years? "Grandma, I was wrong, please forgive me, I promise I won't do it again..."

"You promised me the same thing last year, and I also pleaded for you with your dad. But in less than half a year, you've fallen into bad habits again! Just because your classmate refused to obey your orders, you beat him up. If it weren't for your last name being Shao, you would have been thrown into jail by now! Your dad only fined you half a year's pocket money, which was already a mercy for you. Instead of reflecting on your mistakes, you came to me to make a fuss. Yian, you really disappoint me."

"grandmother……"

"Sister Hua, please show the guests out!"

"yes."

"Master Yi'an, Ms. Yuan, please come in."

Shao Yian wanted to say something else, but was dragged away by Yuan Jiaqiang.

Not long after walking out of Lanju, Shao Yian finally couldn't suppress his inner resentment and grievance, "Why does she treat me like this? It's just a pot of broken grass, what's the big deal? Is it possible that I, her own grandson, am not as good as a piece of grass in her eyes?"

Yuan Jia felt nervous when she heard her son yelling so recklessly.

"Yian, shut up."

"I don't want to, I want to say..."

Seeing that his son was being naughty and refusing to listen to advice, Yuan Jia raised his hand and slapped him.

With a crisp sound, the world became quiet.
