Chapter 41: 041: Grandma Hialun''s 83rd Birthday (7)

    Grandma Hialun''s indignant voice echoes across the space. The neighborhood''s festivities came to an abrupt halt, and the atmosphere shifted to one of tension and gravity. Qu Susu even trembled at hearing her mother''s scolding voice as the event fell silent.

    "This old lady would accept any gift from all my children and grandchildren, no matter how big or small, but... you shouldn''t take away what your children own and abuse your authority as their mother. If you are going to take the things my grandchildren originally possess and give them to me, then there is no need. This old lady doesn''t need such a gift!" says Grandma Hialun.

    The Qu family was embarrassed by Qu Susu''s behavior, and Mr. Qu wanted to leave the event because he felt so embarrassed. He carefully selects the ideal emerald gift set for his mother-in-law''s preferences and age. Grandma Hialun loves glittery accessories, and the bigger the jewel, the more she likes it.

    He had purchased that Emerald Jewellery set at an auction for nearly 100,000 rmb, not exactly a collector''s item, but who would have thought that his wife would keep it for herself? She even took his younger daughter''s birthday present and gave it to her own mother, which was extremely offensive.

    Grandma Hialun''s attitude changed upon witnessing her daughter''s behavior. Although Qu Susu acted in this way, she never would have imagined that she would even take her own daughter''s belongings. It was almost unbearable for her to watch as she flaunted her money in such an ostentatious way, adding to the embarrassment. The old woman was too hurt by Qu Susu''s actions.

    The old lady was being calmed down by Yue Suli and Su Surui. If Grandma were really enraged, awful things might happen to her.

    Su Surui said, "Mom, please don''t get angry. Watch out for your blood pressure..."

    "Mom, take a deep breath and breathe out. Regulate your breathing," said Yue Suli.

    Qu Susu lost all composure when she observed Yue Suli talking to Grandma Hialun. She assumed she was trying to gain her favor and started berating her younger sister.

    "Yue Suli! Grow up and stop acting! Don''t curry with Mom. You should be ashamed that you still act like a leech when your children are all grown. Is borrowing money all your family can do!?" reprimanded Qu Susu. "Get out of here, poor person!"

    At this point, the entire Yue family could not contain themselves any longer. After approaching his wife, Papa Yue stood by her side, shielding her from Qu Susu. Despite Qu Susu being their elder, Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia eventually lost their composure and spoke up. Her words were not nice to hear, and almost everyone frowned when they heard what Qu Susu had just shouted. Not everyone in the Xia family ended up successfully like their siblings. Most of them still live in the province, living their lives as farmers and fruit vendors.

    Yue Ruxia screams, "Who the hell do you think you are!? How dare you shout at my mother!?"

    "Hmp! Just because your family is rich doesn''t mean you can look down on other families. Our Yue family didn''t even borrow any money from your Qu!" said Yue Jixia.

    "You speak as if you are extremely wealthy, but you even gave away stuff that is used, Tsk!" Yue Ruxia sneered.

    "Your elder sister still lives with her parents and doesn''t even have a permanent job, yet you speak as if you are worth a shit despite the fact that you haven''t even finished your studies." Qu Susu questioned, "How about your Yue family? My eldest daughter earns three million dollars a year. We have two cars and a mansion. What does your Yue family have!?"

    Although Mr. Qu made an effort to stop his wife, it was too late. "Qu Susu, stop talking for me! Enough now!"

    Qu Yuru pleaded, "M-Mom! Stop talking, please! Don''t let me lose my job!" When she noticed Su Rukia holding an iPhone and directing a camera in their way, she became alarmed since it was evident that someone was watching the entire thing.

    "Who can make you lose your job?" Qu Susu retorted. "Aren''t you working at a major place in Korea? In Lotte World Tower!" she said.

    Qu Yuwen was completely perplexed by the situation. He had completely lost his face in front of his own wife and felt somewhat distant from his mother, while Qu Yurei was terrified behind her older sister.

    Yue Ruxia saw what was being chatted on the screen of Su Rukia''s phone. "Kia, Dajie says to put the call in speaker mode."

    It was Little Taiyang in human form, who stepped out of the car, followed by a young woman with a poker face who was really attractive. The young man appeared out of nowhere in a gray suit, the outfit alone being extremely expensive, as the eyes could clearly see. Despite the strange appearance, he is carrying a few cups of drinks from the famous cafe?, St*rbuck, which was taken from the car fridge.

    "My Lady, Please!"

    Yue Xuexia is an otherworldly young woman dressed in a white Korean style casual disposition cape blazer coat and trousers set. The outfit consists of a sleeveless top with an attached small cape and long white suit pants with a small slit at the front border.

    With her steely eyes, Yue Xuexia scanned the area, clearly not in the best of moods. She stared at the Qu Family, frightening them half to death, for a short while. When Yue Xuexia arrived, Qu Yuru, who had just finished talking to her husband, looked tired. She recognized the brand of Yue Xuexia''s car and her clothes. She is now adamant that she is to blame for her family''s predicament.

    Yue Xuexia turned away from the Qu Family to look for her family, and her attitude eased when she spotted them, especially the old mother smiling at her.

    Grandma Hialun said, "Sweetie~ did you come here for granny?"

    "Of course, Granny!" said Yue Xuexia as she immediately headed in the direction of her grandmother. She was so happy to see the old lady that she gave her a quick embrace.

    Three automobiles are seen driving behind them, most of them filled with gifts for the old lady that they bought at the mall. Little Taiyang followed him inside and instructed them to bring the gifts. Little Taiyang proceeded to assist her while chatting with the passengers of the other cars.

    "Granny, Happy Birthday! I got you plenty of things! You will adore them! I''ve picked everything myself," Yue Xuexia said.

    "Hoho~ let this old lady see my sweetie''s gifts," said Grandma Hialun.

    Yue Ruxia pulled Su Rukia and collected Litte Taiyang''s beverages. She thanked him and they carried the beverages with them. Little Taiyang was Yue Xuexia''s assistant, and everyone turned to find her holding four cups of coffee.

    Yue Ruxia said, "Thank you, Brother Yangyang!"

    "Un. Place your Dajie''s drink in the fridge for me," said Taiyang.

    Su Rukia said, "Please give it to me!"

    After getting their refreshments, these two young ladies left without giving any thought to the few people behind Taiyang who were carrying piles of gifts. All of the presents were luxury brands, and every box and paper bag bore brand names and insignia.

    Yue Xuexia said, "Yangyang, help me carry the gifts. Give me that jewelry box and briefcase. The remainder, bring everything to Granny''s bedroom."

    Little Taiyang bows to Su Surui, the owner of the house. He knows all the Xia and Yue family members by memory, especially the ones that Yue Xuexia knows.

    Taiyang says, "Madam Su, pardon our intrusion. Can I ask where the Old Madam''s room is? So we can place the other gifts inside..."

    "S-Sure... I''ll show you the w-way..." said Su Surui as she sneaked a glance at Yue Xuexia, who was happily talking with her grandma.

    Madam Su gave instructions to the staff at Little Taiyang. Everyone was left stunned and at a loss for words after the incident. Yue Xuexia blatantly ignores the Qu family while greeting all of her other aunts and uncles and conversing with her grandmother. She acts as though the Qu Family does not exist.
