"She is so despicable. She actually slandered me for pooping my pants and pretended to help me clarify the matter. It's obvious that she deliberately made things worse. I can't clear myself from this even if I jump into the Yellow River. Woo woo woo, I am too ashamed to face anyone..."

Looking at Xiao Ke who was crying and cursing, Shao Ya didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only take out her handkerchief to wipe the other person's tears.

"Okay, don't be angry, your eyes will be swollen from crying soon."

It would have been fine if Shao Ya didn't comfort her, but as soon as she did, Xiao Ke immediately burst into tears and couldn't stop.

Shao Ya kept saying sweet words to comfort him, but she felt upset inside.

She and Xiao Ke are close friends, and Xiao Ke makes trouble for Shao Mo to help her vent her anger.

But Xiao Ke only knew one side of the story and not the other. He didn't know that Shao Lin might choose an heir from among the family's sons. Now, not only did he not get rid of his anger, but he also had a grudge against Shao Mo.

When Shao Mo finds out about her relationship with Xiao Ke, she might think that it was she who ordered it.

Nothing goes well every day.

—

On the other side, while the guests were admiring the Emerald Orchid and the Lotus Orchid, Mrs. Shao took Yun Mo aside to understand the conflict between her and Xiao Ke.

Yun Mo did not hide anything and told Mrs. Shao the whole story.

Mrs. Shao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. Although it was Xiao Ke who provoked her first, her granddaughter's counterattack was not so ridiculous.

"You seem to be a gentle person, but you are the kind of person who cannot bear any loss. But it's good this way. I don't have to worry about you being bullied in the future."

Mrs. Shao was complaining about Yun Mo's strong personality, but she did not hide the admiration and relief in her tone at all.

Yun Mo blinked playfully, "Grandma, I can eat anything, but I can't suffer a loss."

Mrs. Shao helped her to straighten her hair and collar, and said earnestly: "Don't be too absolute in everything. There is a saying that goes, suffer a small loss to gain a big advantage. No matter what happens in the future, remember to think twice before acting."

"Okay, grandma, I will remember your teachings."

"Okay, go find some good sisters to hang out with. The ones here today are from some of the most prestigious families in the capital. If you can make friends with them, it will only benefit you."

"Yes, I understand."

Interpersonal communication is not a difficult task for Yun Mo. She can just cater to others' preferences, show goodwill and win their favor.

If she likes to dress up, you can praise her for her good looks. If she likes to eat and drink, you can introduce some special snacks and teas for her to try.

If you can't deal with a girl using either of these two methods, it means that she is unpredictable and difficult to deal with, so you can choose to ignore her.

Relying on this simple and crude method, in less than half an hour, Yun Mo successfully got to know four or five like-minded young ladies and exchanged contact information with them.

Mrs. Shao accompanied the ladies to appreciate the flowers and chatted happily, but her attention was secretly on her granddaughter.

I was very pleased to see my granddaughter become friends with other girls of the same age so quickly.

The schedule for the flower viewing party is a whole day, with flower viewing and tea drinking in the morning, a sumptuous buffet lunch at noon, and guests taking a nap in the guest courtyard after lunch. In the afternoon, there are leisure and entertainment activities.

Leisure activities include karaoke, ballroom dancing, flower arranging, mahjong, etc. Everyone can choose freely according to their own preferences.

Compared with the tasteful activities such as ballroom dancing and flower arranging, young girls prefer lively activities such as singing karaoke.

As the host, Yun Mo naturally had to stay in the karaoke room with them.

But she sang less, and mainly helped everyone find songs.

Karaoke in this era was not as smart as that of later generations, where songs could be selected directly on the computer. The Shao family's karaoke equipment was still quite advanced. They used an imported jukebox with a storage capacity of thousands of songs. When ordering a song, one would first look up the corresponding song number in the song list, then enter the number into the jukebox to find the song one wanted to sing.

Yun Mo couldn't refuse, so she just picked up a song called "Your Eyes".

When she finished singing, she found that everyone was looking at her with very complicated expressions, which really confirmed the name of the song she had just sung.

These young ladies never expected that there could be someone in the world who could sing such a beautiful song so awfully.

The tune that Yun Mo sings has nothing to do with the tune of the song itself.

Yun Mo also knew that she was tone-deaf, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Sorry for making a fool of myself. What other songs do you want to hear?"

"No, I've rested enough. Let me sing a song..."

In order to prevent their ears from being poisoned by Yun Mo's "magic voice", everyone grabbed the microphone from her hand without saying a word and continued to sing happily.

Although the singing style of these young girls was not professional enough, their voices were quite nice. Yun Mo sat beside them, listening and clapping to keep the beat, feeling quite content.

The flower viewing will not end until the evening.

By the time the last group of guests left, the sun had completely set, leaving only a scarlet afterglow in the sky.

After a busy day, both the grandparents were exhausted. They handed the remaining books in the guest house to the servants to clean up. Yun Mo accompanied Mrs. Shao for a simple dinner and then returned to Mo Garden.

Returning to Moyuan with her were a bunch of various gifts from the ladies.

In the cloakroom, Yun Mo was soaking her feet in water made from Chinese medicine while opening the gift she had received.

The vast majority are gold and jade jewelry, including bracelets, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, watches, etc.

Ling Chuan sat beside her, his cold and handsome face full of surprise.

"Wife, these things shouldn't be cheap. You've made a fortune."

Yun Mo glared at the man, "Do you think you don't have to return a gift?"

Seeing the man in a daze, Yun Mo smiled again, "Grandma will prepare the return gift. I just need to follow her around and visit everyone one by one. It can be considered a small fortune. It's good to have the elders to take care of you, so you don't have to rely on yourself for everything."

Among all the gifts, there were a total of three ladies' watches. Yun Mo chose a second-hand Longines watch with a thin black strap, intending to wear it daily. She asked Lingchuan to take the rest and store them in the safe.

She has necklaces and bracelets that she wears every day, but she has never found a watch that suits her taste.

"Wife, this watch looks really good on you."

Ling Chuan quickly put away the things and came back. Seeing her trying on the watch, he immediately praised her flatteringly.

Looking at the man's cold and handsome face with a hint of gentleness, Yun Mo patted the empty seat on the leather bench beside her.

"Please sit down and let's talk."

"Um."

After the man sat down, Yun Mo first picked up a few interesting things from the flower viewing party and told Ling Chuan, then changed the topic: "Have you felt wronged and depressed during these days of coming to Beijing with me?"

Ling Chuan quickly shook his head.

"to be honest."

"Really not, daughter-in-law. Although I am unfamiliar with this place, I can live with you every day. Dad and grandma also take good care of me. I feel very good."
