Upon hearing this, Old Master Wei immediately felt sorry for his precious granddaughter. He frowned and asked angrily, "What's going on? Do you think you can bully the people of the Wei family like this?"
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao's anger flared up instantly. She retorted without backing down, "That's why I'm telling you, you're just biased! Have you even looked into the cause of this? How do you know it's definitely my fault, and not your precious granddaughter's fault?"
When had Old Master Wei ever been talked back to like this? In recent years, he had been the undisputed leader at home, and his family always listened to him without question.
Now, he was suddenly refuted in public by a little girl. Where did that leave his pride? He was so angry that he was panting heavily, and his old face turned bright red.
Looking at Grandpa Wei's appearance, Shen Xiaoxiao was genuinely worried that she might cause him to have a stroke. "Forget it, if I continue talking like this, you might get sick from anger and then blame me."
"There's nothing more to see here, let's go!" With that, she took Dai Xingyun's hand without looking back and walked straight out of the crowd.
Before Old Master Wei could stop them, he watched them walk away.
Among the crowd, several elderly men smiled and nodded to Shen Xiaoxiao. They all knew Shen Xiaoxiao and had gotten their plasters from her.
As Grandpa Wei watched Shen Xiaoxiao and Dai Xingyun's departing figures, he was still somewhat indignant, but he didn't want to continue arguing with the younger generation.
After all, there are so many people watching here; he needs to deal with the immediate problem first.
Grandpa Wei's brows furrowed tightly as he glanced at his old friends who lived in the same compound, a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Alright, have you all had enough of the show?" Old Master Wei's voice revealed a hint of dissatisfaction. "Go do what you're supposed to do, don't just stand around here."
The old men looked at each other, seemingly a little embarrassed, but they all dispersed and went back to their own homes to attend to other matters.
Grandpa Wei turned his head and looked at Wei Mi'er standing to the side, and said earnestly, "Mi'er, since that keepsake was left to you by your mother, it naturally belongs to you, and no one has the right to take it away."
Wei Mi'er nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Wei Tiantian pouted and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, but those relics are so beautiful, I want them too..."
Before she could finish speaking, Old Master Wei sternly interrupted her: "Sweetie, I've already said that it was left to her by Mi'er's mother, and no one is allowed to touch it."
Upon hearing this, Wei Tiantian's eyes immediately reddened again, tears welling up in them. She mumbled something else, but seeing the stern expression on Grandpa Wei's face, she swallowed her words.
Seeing this, Grandpa Wei softened his tone and said, "Sweetie, stop making a fuss. If you continue to be so willful, you'll have to go back to your room and reflect on your actions. You're not allowed to leave the house for the rest of the month."
Hearing this, Wei Tiantian felt very wronged, but she didn't dare to talk back. She could only silently shut her mouth, glare at Wei Mier, and then turn around and walk quickly back to her room.
Wei Mier watched Wei Tiantian's retreating figure, but her heart didn't stir much emotion.
She had long been aware of her family's favoritism towards Wei Tiantian, and she was used to it, so she was neither angry nor saddened by it.
"Then I'll be going now, Grandpa!" Wei Mi'er said goodbye to the old man with a smile, then turned and left gracefully, leaving behind a beautiful silhouette.
Shen Xiaoxiao remained sullen the entire way, muttering to herself, clearly very dissatisfied with the old man's favoritism towards Wei Mi'er. Seeing this, Dai Xingyun quickly and gently comforted her.
"You're saying that old man's eyes are in the sky? He doesn't dote on his wonderful granddaughter, but instead dotes on that pretentious one," Shen Xiaoxiao complained indignantly, her tone full of dissatisfaction with Grandpa Wei.
Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun's eyes flickered slightly, and he said thoughtfully, "Xiaoxiao, sometimes you can't look at things too one-sidedly."
"Let's leave Wei Tiantian aside for now, but Wei Mier is obviously very scheming."
Although Shen Xiaoxiao still harbored resentment, she also understood that Dai Xingyun's words made some sense.
After all, someone who grew up under the care of Wei's stepmother would find it difficult to grow up peacefully in such an environment without some extraordinary skills and cunning.
Wei Mier not only grew up safely, but also seemed to be doing very well.
Not long after, the two arrived at the Dai family's residence.
As soon as you step through the door, a strong aroma hits your nostrils, making your mouth water.
Shen Xiaoxiao was completely captivated by the aroma. Her feet moved involuntarily toward the source of the fragrance, and she murmured to herself, "It smells so good, I can hardly resist the urge to devour it."
Just then, Grandpa Dai slowly walked downstairs, a kind smile on his face, and said cheerfully, "Since that's the case, then don't hesitate, let's start eating!"
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and greeted Grandpa Dai with a big smile: "Hello, Grandpa Dai!"
Grandpa Dai smiled and replied, "Xiaoxiao, eat whatever you want, don't be shy."
Before she finished speaking, Grandma Dai came out of the kitchen with a bowl and chopsticks in her hand. She handed them to Shen Xiaoxiao warmly and said, "Xiaoxiao, this is for you. Eat it while it's hot."
Shen Xiaoxiao happily accepted the bowl and chopsticks, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandma Dai, you are so kind!"
After everyone had sat down at the table, Shen Xiaoxiao picked up her chopsticks, ready to dig in, when her aunt brought out a steaming bowl of chicken soup from the kitchen and carefully placed it on the table.
Liang Xinxing said to Shen Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, have a bowl of soup to warm your stomach first. It's fresh out of the pot, and it contains mushrooms that people picked from the mountain early this morning. It tastes incredibly delicious!"
"It smells so good! Well then, I won't be polite!" Shen Xiaoxiao picked up the bowl with great joy.
Just as he was about to ladle out a bowl of chicken soup, Dai Xingyun swiftly took it from him, carefully reminding him, "I'll do it, be careful it's hot!"
"Thank you, Xingyun!" Shen Xiaoxiao's face was filled with a happy smile.
She turned her gaze to her grandparents and aunt and said sincerely, "Thank you, grandpa, grandma, and aunt, for being so kind to me."
Liang Xinxing smiled gently and said softly, "Silly girl, you've already accepted Xingyun's proposal."
"From now on, we're family! It's only natural that we treat you well! And you've been very good to us too!"
