"What else can I do? Of course I'm here to have breakfast with you."

"If I had to have you accompany me every time, I would have starved to death. I don't usually see you coming to my place so diligently."

Mrs. Shao expressed disdain on the surface, but her expression was filled with pleasure.

"I'm usually busy, but I'm not busy these days, so I'm taking the time to come to your place more often. What do you want to eat this morning? I'm hungry."

Hearing her son crying out for hunger, Mrs. Shao handed the kettle to the servant behind her and gave her a few careful instructions before leading her son to the dining room.

When he met Sister Hua on the way, he learned that Shao Lin was going to have breakfast at Lan Ju, and he immediately went to the kitchen happily to prepare the dishes.

"What is that in your hand?"

Noticing the silver-gray titanium cup in her son's hand, Mrs. Shao couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

“This——”

Shao Lin showed the titanium cup in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the thermos cup Momo gave me. She told me to drink more water and take good care of my body."

Looking at her son's face with a smile brighter than a flower, Mrs. Shao finally understood why her son came here so early in the morning.

A broken cup is far inferior to the two pots of world-famous orchids given to her by her granddaughter. I don’t know what’s so good about it! Mrs. Shao was extremely disgusted, but she couldn’t take her eyes off the titanium cup.

The shape and material of this thermos were really too strange. She had never seen such a thermos in her entire life.

"Mom, do you want to take a look? This thermos cup Momo gave me is quite interesting. I don't know what metal it is made of, but the whole cup is seamless, with luxurious color and beautiful appearance. It is simply a work of art that is so ingenious that I am reluctant to use it to drink water."

Mrs. Shao was curious about the cup to begin with, and after hearing what her son said, she took the cup and examined it carefully.

Upon closer inspection, it was just as my son had said, the entire cup was a seamless piece, and it was impossible to tell what craftsmanship or material it was made of.

After admiring it for a while, Mrs. Shao returned the titanium cup to her son.

"Momo is thoughtful."

"Yes, although it's just a cup for drinking water, this is a very thoughtful gesture. Mom, Momo is so well-behaved and sensible. You have to say a few more words for her at the family meeting tomorrow."

Mrs. Shao glanced at her son unhappily and said, "Need you to tell me? Momo is also my granddaughter."

"Yes, yes, Mom, just think of me as a nag. Oh, breakfast is here, eat, eat. I have a meeting in the morning, so I have to go to the company early."

Shao Lin finished his breakfast as quickly as possible, wiping his mouth with a towel in one hand and picking up the thermos cup in the other.

"Mom, I'm done eating. Take your time. I'm leaving now."

Seeing her son eager to leave before he even finished swallowing the food in his mouth, Mrs. Shao couldn't help but scold him, "Slow down, you don't know why you are in such a hurry. How big of a problem can a delay of one or two minutes affect?"

"Several veteran shareholders are coming to this morning's meeting. If I'm late, they'll nag me for half an hour each."

After saying this, Shao Lin left in a hurry, while Mrs. Shao continued to eat breakfast.

Looking at the porridge that she had only eaten a few mouthfuls of, Mrs. Shao couldn't help but complain to Mrs. Hua, "You said you were coming to have breakfast with me, but you might as well not come. This would save you from having to wash an extra set of dishes."

Sister Hua smiled and said, "As long as Grandpa comes every day, I'd be happy if you could wash ten more sets of dishes, not to mention one more.

Madam, haven't you noticed that since I met the eldest lady, I seem to have come alive and am cheerful all day long."

"I think he is going backwards as he gets older."

"No, I am getting younger and younger. Madam, please try today's crystal shrimp dumplings. I made them myself. I made two baskets in total, and I sent the other one to the eldest lady."

The shrimp dumplings had thin skin and full fillings, each one was crystal clear. Mrs. Shao picked up one and brought it to her mouth.

"Well, it's not bad. The shrimps are big enough and the meat filling is fresh enough."

"They were the large prawns that were left over from yesterday. I was afraid they wouldn't survive overnight, so I simply peeled the prawns and used them to make shrimp dumplings. I didn't add any other seasonings except salt and shallots. I just used the broth to enhance the flavor."

"Oh, thank you ma'am."

By the time we had breakfast, the sun was already halfway up in the sky.

Mrs. Shao first went to check on the watering of the flowers and plants in the yard, then returned to the bedroom and took out the jewelry she had previously selected to give to her granddaughter.

There was a box full of pearl and jade jewelry, each piece was her treasure, carefully selected, but now it looked so tacky.

My granddaughter had a beautiful appearance and skin whiter than snow, which made all these gold and jade things she owned seem too gaudy.

After some screening, only a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets and a string of rice-grain pearl necklaces were left.

She couldn't afford such a small thing.

Mrs. Shao thought with some disdain, and turned to tell Mrs. Hua, "Take the other things back to the warehouse, and find my Nanhong bracelet."

Mrs. Hua was surprised. "Madam, are you planning to give the Nanhong bracelet to the eldest daughter? That was the pearl wedding gift that the master gave you, and you were reluctant to wear it yourself."

South Red Agate is indeed precious, but for Mrs. Shao, what is more valuable is its significance.

It is not only one of the few gifts her husband gave her after he became seriously ill, but also a testimony to their 30-year marriage.

Her husband died the following year, and in the past ten years or so, she had only worn this red coral bracelet twice.

Although she always said that she was afraid of being reminded of her husband by seeing the things around her, she actually had not been able to get over the death of her husband.

However, at this moment, she decided to let go of the pain in her heart. The dead are gone, and the living are more important.

"Give it to me. The color of that red nanhong necklace is bright and just right for Momo at her age. If Ze Yuan knew about this, he would agree with my idea. He passed away early and didn't see his granddaughter in person, so consider it as a gift from me to her."

Sister Hua nodded repeatedly with wet eyes, "Madam, it would be great if you could think it through. I'll go get the things."

Over at Mo Garden, Yun Mo had just gotten up.

Last night, she planted a lot of fruits and vegetables for daily consumption in the second-floor space. She was busy until late at night and woke up late this morning as expected.

By the time she finished washing, getting dressed and stepping out of the bedroom, the sun was almost high in the sky.

I looked at my watch and saw that there were less than ten minutes left before the appointment with Zeng Fang.

Ling Chuan came over with breakfast in his hand, "Wife, have breakfast first."

"No more eating. We have to go out quickly. Fangfang and the others will be waiting anxiously. Go ask Uncle Fu to prepare the car. I'll go back to my room to get my bag."

As she spoke, Yun Mo glanced at the plate the man was holding. When she saw the crystal shrimp dumplings that were translucent and exuding an enticing aroma, her stomach immediately began to rumble.

Hearing her stomach growling with hunger, Ling Chuan quickly freed one hand, picked up a shrimp and fed it to her mouth.

"Have you washed your hands?"

Although he asked this, his body honestly raised his head and put the shrimp dumpling into his mouth.

"After washing, is it delicious?"

Yun Mo nodded. It was delicious. It was so delicious! Maybe it was because she was hungry. When faced with such a delicious and tasty crystal shrimp dumplings, even a will as strong as steel could not resist.

The world is big, but eating is the biggest thing. If you are late for a date, then so be late. Even if you are ten minutes late, the earth will explode.

Yun Mo sat down at the dining table with peace of mind, picked up her chopsticks and started to eat her breakfast happily.
