"My dear Tianci, do you miss Grandma?"
"Yes, I love my grandparents and dad the most." Xie Tianci said sweet words with practiced ease, making Zhang Yuefen smile from ear to ear. Even Xie Chuancai and Xie Yuan couldn't help but soften their expressions.
Zuo Shan considerately stepped forward to take off Xie Yuan's coat: "I heard you were coming, so I prepared a bath in advance. You must have had a hard day at work. Go in and soak for a while."
"Mmm." Xie Yuan enjoyed everything here and gave Zuo Shan a kiss.
Zuo Shan smiled shyly: "My parents and aunt are all here."
"Then come inside with me."
He was busy with work and usually had to deal with Song Xia, so it was rare for him to come over. Zuo Shan was naturally compliant, and the two were all lovey-dovey as soon as they entered the room. Xie Yuan felt hot all over and relaxed, a sense of male dignity that he had never experienced with Song Xia.
Song Xia was a wealthy young lady. From the beginning of his pursuit, he lowered his stance and indulged her in every way. Even after they got married, Song Xia was not very open-minded. So even though Song Xia was prettier, he still preferred Zuo Shan. What's more, Zuo Shan was his first love and the one who had always been by his side and suffered a lot of grievances.
"Be gentle, Mom and Dad are here!" Zuo Shan gently pounded.
Xie Yuan ignored them: "I had the renovation company specifically work on soundproofing the house, so you can't hear anything. Don't you want that?"
Zuo Shan certainly wanted to, so she tried her best to show this man that she was the best. She couldn't help but think of Song Xia, that poor woman.
Yes, in Zuo Shan's eyes, Song Xia was very pitiful. She knew from the beginning that Xie Yuan was only pursuing Song Xia for the Song family's money. Although Xie Yuan could not give her the status of a wife for the time being, what did Song Xia have left besides the title of wife?
Xie Yuan disliked her, Zhang Yuefen and Xie Chuancai were disgusted by her, and they didn't care about Xie Lingling's daughter. But she had given birth to a son, and Zhang Yuefen, Xie Chuancai, and Xie Yuan all said that the Song family's property would belong to her son in the future.
So what if Song Xia is a rich heiress? Wasn't she still deceived and schemed against her her whole life? It's truly heaven's help that even her parents, who were the last ones able to protect her, died unexpectedly. What does Song Xia have left to compete with her for?
Once Xie Yuan's power grows, that will be the day he kicks Song Xia and Xie Lingling out, and then she can openly become the president's wife.
Afterwards, Zuo Shan leaned against Xie Yuan's chest with a charming smile: "Brother Yuan, you're amazing!"
Xie Yuan roughly kneaded her, something he never dared to do with Song Xia. Despite being married for many years, they still had to maintain that ridiculous reserve in bed, which was truly tasteless.
"I had someone bring the bag you wanted from abroad. I'm going to a charity gala in a few days. If there's any nice jewelry, I'll order some for you." Xie Yuan was always generous to Zuo Shan as long as things went smoothly.
Zuo Shan's smile widened, and she gave him a sweet kiss: "Brother Yuan, I knew you had me in your heart. I love you. From the age of fifteen, I knew I hadn't loved the wrong person."
Xie Yuanyue became even more outrageous: "My parents like sons, so give me another son."
"Only Mom and Dad like it, don't you?"
"Of course I like it too."
"What about Xie Lingling? If all your assets go to Tianci, what will happen to Xie Lingling?"
"What property does a daughter inherit? Just give her a dowry and she gets married. That's how it is in our circle. How many daughters actually inherit property? It's just an arranged marriage. What about her husband's family later?"
Zuo Shan pouted and said coquettishly, "What if I have another daughter?"
Xie Yuan was in high spirits and coaxed, "You were born naturally different."
Zuo Shan was pleased by his coaxing and thought to herself that with Tianci's support, even if her daughter were to be married off, it would be to the family with the best background and the highest ability. She would definitely choose carefully for her daughter. As for Xie Lingling, it would be good enough if she could marry someone with the surname Xie. Naturally, she would marry into the family that would be of the highest benefit to the Xie family. Of course, if she were to have another child, a son would definitely be better.
Zuo Shan smugly arranged Xie Lingling's future fate, as if Xie Lingling were merely a tool, destined to live only for her son's benefit.
Outside, Zhang Yuefen was playing with her grandson while humming a song as she looked at the closed door. Soon, she would have another wonderful grandson.
In her opinion, when choosing a daughter-in-law, she should choose someone like Zuo Shan, who is obedient, filial, and capable of bearing grandchildren. She is also very considerate to her son. Someone like Song Xia, on the other hand, is useless except for having a few stinking coins. However, considering that she once supported her son, she will ask Tianci to treat Xie Lingling better in the future.
They're practically family, all thinking the same thing. They take advantage of other people's money and then look down on them. There's nothing more shameless than this.
If you look down on someone, then don't use their money. You make it sound so noble, but do you have the guts to say these things publicly?
"Go back now, you're given the night off." Zhang Yuefen shooed the nanny away, wanting to cook a delicious meal for her beloved grandson herself.
"What do you want to eat? Grandma will make it for you."
"I want to eat prawns, big chicken legs, and braised pork. I don't want any vegetables," Xie Tianci said, puffing out his chubby cheeks as he ordered.
Zhang Yuefen naturally agreed: "Okay, okay, Grandma will make it for you. If you don't want to eat vegetables, then don't. They don't have much nutrition. Let's eat more meat so we can grow taller quickly."
"Yay! Grandma's the best!"
After serving Xie Yuan, Zuo Shan was displeased to hear Zhang Yuefen spoiling her son so much, but she didn't stop her. Why disturb the old lady's mood? She could just let her son eat vegetables again after everyone left.
She didn't realize that as long as Zhang Yuefen and the others came, Xie Tianci would be unrestrained and wouldn't listen to her in private. Gradually, Xie Tianci would find that as long as she brought up his grandparents, she couldn't do anything to him. After all, in Zhang Yuefen and the others' eyes, she had always been a good daughter-in-law and a good mother. How could she make Xie Tianci unhappy?
"Mom, let me help you." Although she didn't like to do things herself, Zuo Shan still had to show her abilities. She wanted this family to think that she was better than Song Xia in every way except for her family background.
"Brother Yuan likes my fish the most, so I'll cook the fish later."
"You really understand Xiaoyuan. That Song Xia, after teaching for so long, still can't cook many dishes. She's not even a fraction as good as you."
Zuo Shan smiled but didn't say anything. She used to be annoyed by Zhang Yuefen comparing her to Song Xia, but now she didn't feel anything. Anyway, everything Song Xia had would be hers sooner or later, and everyone in the Xie family was on her side. Song Xia was just a pitiful person who gave her and her son their inheritance.
She was incredibly grateful for her forbearance back then. If she had broken up with him in a moment of weakness, and if Yuan Ge hadn't married Song Xia, she wouldn't have the wealthy life she had now. However, she had given Yuan Ge to Song Xia for so long, and it was time to take him back, since Song Xia was the one who had interfered.
