The favor of a wealthy family: Madam’s vest fell off again

When Grandma Xia heard that the bracelet was real and cost several million, she was not happy at all. Instead, she felt that Xia Mutang had used some dirty money to buy these bracelets for her.

Among all the gifts given by everyone present, Xia Mutang's was the most expensive. Grandma Xia couldn't accept that Xia Mutang was better than others, so she didn't even want to look at it.

Being an actor, opening a cake shop, or having a good income means nothing in his eyes.

"Do I have to be an actor?" Grandma Xia said with disdain, "Our company is in need of clerks or something, so it's better to do anything than be an actor."

Xia Changhui now spoke for the real Xia Mutang: "Mom, Mutang is doing pretty well now, not worse than Xia Shuqing at all."

Aunt Xia's face changed immediately when she heard this.

Xia Changhui could say that he was as good as anyone else, but how come he was compared to Xia Shuqing?

Xia Shuqing is the pride of their Xia family, and no one can compare to her.

As for Xia Mutang, he has neither academic qualifications nor family, so how dare he compare with Xia Shuqing?

"What do you mean she's no worse than my Qingqing? Could she be doing so well?" Aunt Xia snorted coldly, "Or maybe it's because she's pretty and some man wants to support her or something."

"Sister-in-law, how can you speak so harshly? Xia Mutang at least calls you aunt, how can you think of her like this?"

Aunt Xia has never considered Xia Mutang as a family member. It can be said that Su Qiuyang and Xia Changhui have never considered him as a family member either. So, as an aunt, he does not have such a broad mind.

Su Qiuyang felt that she was being disliked by her for coming to the birthday party today, so she felt particularly uncomfortable.

It seemed as if Aunt Xia was deliberately going against her.

"Mom, I believe he is not that kind of person." This was said by Xia Mingjie. Xia Mingjie has always been very accurate in judging people. He thinks Xia Mutang is upright and does not seem like the kind of person who is kept by others.

As for why Xia Mutang had the money to buy this bracelet, Mingjie would rather believe that she earned it herself.

Aunt Xia didn't know what was wrong with her son and daughter. Why did they keep saying good things about Xia Mutang today?

Grandma Xia felt that today was a great day and that people should not quarrel over these things anymore.

"It's a rare occasion for us to get together today, so let's celebrate your birthday properly. Let's not talk about anything else."

After the gift-giving incident was over, Xia Mutang no longer continued to attend the birthday party, but made an excuse to leave early.

When she walked to the door, she found Xia Mingjie waiting for her.

"What my mother said today was a bit too much. I apologize on her behalf." When Xia Mingjie said these words, his tone sounded different from usual.

"No need to apologize."

"What's the matter with going back so early?"

"You want to see me for something?"

"It's okay, I just hope you don't take my mother's words to heart."

Xia Mutang just laughed, because he never took these words to heart.

"I agree with what grandma said. Saint King is not a place for a girl to stay." He added, "Xia Shuqing has been there all the time, so it doesn't have much impact on him, but you are different. I think many things may not be as simple as you think."

"I feel like I'm doing pretty well every day, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

Xia Mutang had a good impression of Xia Mingjie, so he talked so much to him.

Today at the banquet, I heard that Xia Mingjie was going abroad to negotiate some matters.

"It's very chaotic over there, and the security issue is very serious." Xia Mutang thought of some bad things that happened in Ming Country recently so he kindly gave instructions. When negotiating in a chaotic country, there is no way to guarantee the security issue, and you can only rely on yourself.

"How do you know these inside information?"

"I'm not as out-of-the-know as you think." Xia Mutang thought Xia Mingjie was a good person and didn't want him to get into danger when he went to negotiate.
