At that time, Aunt Xia thought that the bracelet was definitely fake. She did not expose it, but said in a roundabout way: "This bracelet looks very valuable. I wonder how you can afford to buy it?"

Faced with Aunt Xia's straightforward question, Xia Mutang answered nonchalantly: "I run a small business myself."

Grandma Xia didn't believe that she was still doing business, so she asked her what business she was doing. Xia Mutang directly answered that it was a cake shop.

The word "cake shop" seemed to be a trivial business to the Xia family. They looked down on it and no one cared about it.

Upon seeing this, Xia Changhui hurriedly said that Xia Mutang had now opened several chain cake shops, with the purpose of regaining some face in front of Grandma Xia. But in Grandma Xia's eyes, you can't make any money by opening a cake shop, and only people with no ability would open one. Her grandson is a diplomat of the country and has been on TV!

"It's just two cake shops. Can such a small business really allow you to have so much money to buy such high-end bracelets?"

What Aunt Xia meant was that Xia Mutang's money came from unknown sources.

Hearing these words, Xia Mutang didn't show any anger at all. Instead, she started laughing: "Aunt, do you mean that what I bought was fake, or that I can't make much money from my small business?"

Grandma Xia was not stupid, she understood the hidden meaning, so she asked Xia Mutang where all the stores were, how much was the daily turnover, and how much money could he make in a month?

Grandma Xia who said this sounded as if she was asking Xia Mutang how much a pound of cabbage cost, and she didn't take Xia Mutang seriously at all.

Xia Mutang replied nonchalantly, "The income is not high, just so-so."

Aunt Xia suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I think I heard Qingqing say that you are still an actor in Shenghuang. Is your salary higher as an actor there?"

Today, Aunt Xia seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble and kept forcing Xia Mutang, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Grandma Xia is rather conservative. She thinks it is better for girls to stay at home. It is not a good idea for them to go out and show their faces in public, so her words are full of disdain.

"Being an actress means being out in the limelight. It's not like our Xia family can't afford to raise a daughter. We shouldn't do this kind of thing. Changhui, how can you let your daughter be out in the limelight like this?"

It would have been fine if Grandma Xia hadn't said anything, but once she did, she started blaming all these people.

Moreover, everyone heard that Xia Mutang seemed to have a bad reputation in the industry, and they all had very serious doubts about her profession.

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, everyone started blaming Xia Mutang.

Even Xia Mingjie, who had been sitting aside and remained silent, now turned his gaze to Xia Mutang.

Xia Changhui thought that being an actor would be a good idea, right? Besides, Xia Mutang was quite popular now, so he should be considered to have some ability.

He knew that Grandma Xia was a very conservative person, so she didn't want others to know that Xia Mutang was an actor.

Now that Aunt Xia had said all these words, Xia Changhui didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Only Xia Mutang answered calmly: "I bought this bracelet with my own hard-earned money, isn't that okay?"

When Aunt Xia heard her answer, her eyes were still full of sarcasm: "If you really earned the money with your own hands, it's okay to buy a bracelet. But it has to be a real bracelet you bought, otherwise I'm afraid you will have any bad intentions."

"I think I understand what you said, aunt. You mean you're worried that the bracelet I bought is fake, right?" Xia Mutang didn't hide anything and directly expressed his unhappiness.

"You know whether it is fake or not," Aunt Xia asked back.

If Xia Mutang really bought a fake bracelet to celebrate Grandma Xia’s birthday, it would be really embarrassing.

"Look at this bracelet yourself, little brother. Do you know how much it costs? Last time I asked, it was several million!"
