The old lady was so flustered by his retort that she gasped for breath, almost fainting.
Seeing that things were not going well, Yi Mu quickly offered a teacup: "Please have some tea."
The old lady brushed his hand away, angrily saying, "Don't serve me tea, I won't drink the tea you serve!"
The smile that had been on Yi Mu's face disappeared.
Looking at the stubborn old man in front of him, he finally couldn't help but ask, "In your eyes, does drinking my tea mean you accept me as a person?"
The old lady didn't expect him to talk back to her. She pointed at him and kept stammering for a long time, unable to say anything.
She didn't speak, but Yi Mu had something to say.
"Excuse my bluntness, but it is the most basic filial piety and courtesy for a younger generation to serve tea to their elders. What you are thinking about now, old lady, must be the scene of a newlywed daughter-in-law serving tea to her parents-in-law in the classics."
Yi Mu placed the teacup in front of the old lady and smiled at her.
"To me, you are He's grandmother, and I respect you, but that doesn't mean I will go to great lengths to please you."
The old lady's expression returned to normal, but her gaze towards Yi Mu was full of scrutiny.
She had previously thought that Yi Mu was at most a pretty but empty-faced woman, but she didn't expect him to be so opinionated.
The old lady told Suo Yanghe to leave first, and that she would talk to Yi Mu alone.
Suo Yanghe glanced at Yi Mu, and Yi Mu smiled at him.
Suo Yanghe understood the meaning in his eyes and got up to leave.
The old lady felt terrible; her words no longer carried any weight with Yi Mu.
It really proves the old saying: "Once you have a wife, you forget your mother."
Suo Yanghe's mother passed away early, and she raised him single-handedly.
"I don't think you're a fool. Let me tell you clearly, I will never accept someone like you as the granddaughter-in-law of the Suoyang family."
When Yi Mu heard the word "granddaughter-in-law," he felt a little uneasy.
Psychologically, he is still a man, but physiologically, he is an omega who can have children.
Shaking his head and smiling, Yi Mu adopted a relaxed demeanor.
“I’m going to be with Suo Yanghe in the future, not marry the Suo Yang family. Whether you accept it or not, it won’t affect me except for a little regret.”
The old lady had lived for almost a century and had seen all sorts of people.
Yi Mu may seem difficult to deal with, but as long as you put something tempting enough in front of him, he'll surely reveal his true colors.
"I know what you mean. You're after the wealth behind the Suoyang family, aren't you? Just tell me what you want. I can get you a small country."
On a planet, there are hundreds of countries, and each country possesses a vast territory.
The Suoyang family is not particularly outstanding among all the existing families because all the members of the family keep a low profile.
But being low-key doesn't mean you lack ability.
The direct line of the Suoyang family is singular, but its collateral branches are distributed in every corner of the planet.
The amount of money and land deeds they contribute to their family each year is probably more than the treasury of the entire planet.
Talking about money usually hurts feelings, but most people like money.
The old lady thought she had it all figured out, but little did she know that sitting in front of her was the son of the richest man, who was so poor that all he had left was money.
"Madam, why don't we set aside such vulgar things as money and talk about something else?"
Older people care about their image, and Yi Mu wanted to save face for the old lady.
But the old lady thought she had found Yi Mu's sore spot and kept bringing up money.
Yi Mu never expected that one day, the clichéd plot of modern romance novels would happen to him, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
