Landlady who likes to hoard land

Before he even reached the door, he could no longer take another step. The familiar laughter and chatter around him made his heart sink.

Xu Jianren had never found other people's laughter so jarring before, but today it felt like silver needles were piercing his eardrums.

Happy birthday, Dad! May you have boundless happiness and longevity.

"Happy birthday to my son! May you make progress in your studies and be happy every day."

The cheerful female voice continued...

"Son, are you happy to be celebrating your birthday with Grandpa today? Look, even the little bear has come to celebrate your birthday."

"Hey sis, come over here, let the waiter take a group photo of us."

"Mom, you and Dad sit together."

"Zhu Zhu, Zhu Xing, sit next to Grandma and Grandpa."

"Zhao Long, Zhao Chen, you stand with your parents."

Inside, people were having a lively time taking birthday photos to commemorate the occasion.

The person standing at the door felt a chill run down their spine. Wang Chengyu used to say that his parents didn't treat him like their own son.

But he was certain that he was their biological son; otherwise, why would his parents buy him a house and a car and help him get married?

At this moment, he felt that Wang Chengyu was right. They really didn't treat him like their own son. What parents would leave their own son and grandson to celebrate their birthday with their daughter and son-in-law?

The familiar headache struck again. For some reason, ever since his divorce from Wang Chengyu, he would experience unbearable headaches whenever he got emotional.

The intense headache and anger rendered him incapable of thinking, and Xu Jianren walked blankly into the private room.

The moment the people in the private room saw Xu Jianren, they fell completely silent, with only the cheerful singing continuing to play from the speaker carried by the waiter.

Happy birthday!

"Wow..."

Special days are filled with radiant smiles.

"what……"

We've come together with hearts full of love.

"Mom, I'm scared..."

Wishing you good luck always

……

"Xu Jianren, what are you doing... ah..."

The private room was bustling again, filled with the sounds of dishes shattering on the floor, adults screaming, children crying for their parents, and elderly people scolding...

Amidst the cheerful birthday song, a most unforgettable birthday farce unfolded.

When Wang Chengyu noticed the commotion and rushed over, he saw the private room in complete disarray, and everyone wailing and crying...

She wasn't surprised when she saw clearly who was celebrating their birthday in the private room; what surprised her was that Xu Jianren had actually flipped the table.

The fact that Xu Jianren, whom Wang Chengyu remembered as a cowardly and incompetent man, dared to overturn the table was truly a strange and unusual occurrence for him.

I must say, that was a good move...

"Xu Jianren, what are you doing? Calm down!"

She had to speak up and remind him not to make too much of a scene. What if he accidentally hurt someone, ended up in jail, and got a criminal record, ruining her son's future?

I wonder if their divorce will affect the child. If it won't, I really hope he makes a bigger scene.

Xu Jianren turned to look at Wang Chengyu with bloodshot eyes, his hoarse voice like coarse gravel scraping the ground.

"This is none of your business. You should take the child back first."

That look in his eyes was so unfamiliar. It only lasted a moment before Wang Chengyu turned and left. Let them handle their own affairs!

"Xu Wen, Xu Yao, let's go!"

The mother and her two children quickly paid the bill and left, without asking Xu Jianren where he had gone.

When Wang Chengyu got home by taxi, she saw that her two sons were still looking downcast. She cursed Xu Chenxing's family in her heart. What bad luck! Her sons were rarely so happy, but they encountered such a disappointing thing.

"Xu Wen, Xu Yao, how about the three of us sleep together tonight?"

The two sons seem to be in better spirits.

"Then you guys go take a shower and brush your teeth first."

After the three of them finished washing up, they lay side by side on Wang Chengyu's large bed.

Did you see Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt celebrating their birthdays together today?

Wang Chengyu believes that as the two children grow up, they are able to understand things, and it might be more effective to talk things out directly.

"Mom, Grandpa and Grandma always say they are family with us, so why do they celebrate their birthdays together but not invite us?"

Xu Yao didn't understand, but Xu Wen did. This was what was called favoritism. His grandparents favored his aunt and Zhu Xing, so they were willing to celebrate his birthday with them.

She doesn't like her parents, and she doesn't like herself and her younger brother, so she doesn't want to celebrate her birthday with them.

"That's normal. People always want to spend happy times with the people they like," Wang Chengyu explained.

"If it's your birthday, would you like to celebrate with your mom, dad, and brother, or with Zhu Jiaru (Xu Yao's classmate)?"

"Of course I'll spend time with you all," Xu Yao replied without hesitation.

"That's right, your grandparents and aunts think the same way you do, they want to spend their time with the people they love."

"But Grandpa said that my brother and I are his and Grandma's most beloved grandsons. Grandpa also said that he would buy me a house when I grow up."

Xu Yao was somewhat unconvinced. His grandparents adored him and his brother, and they could play on their phones for as long as they wanted when they went to their grandmother's house; they never interfered.

Wang Chengyu remained silent, feeling that what she was about to say was somewhat cruel, but she spoke anyway.

"Since you and your brother are his most beloved grandsons, why didn't they invite you and your brother to their birthday celebration?"

"Because...because..."

Xu Yao stammered, trying to come up with an excuse, but finally realized that what his mother said was true; his grandparents and aunt had not invited them.

He suddenly felt extremely frustrated. Why did the adults say things that were different from what they did?

"Little brother, don't believe what others say, but look at what they do."

Xu Wen stared at the ceiling and began to lecture Xu Yao.

Wang Chengyu turned to look at Xu Wen in surprise.

"Xu Wen, where did you learn this principle?"

Xu Wen looked at his mother with a helpless expression.

“Mom, I’m not a little kid anymore, I’m a middle school student. Our teachers have already explained these things. I didn’t quite understand before, but now that Grandpa and Grandma are examples, I understand everything.”

"My son is amazing; he understands so many principles."

Wang Chengyu praised Xu Wen generously, making Xu Wen blush slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Xu Yao, your brother is right. To judge whether a person is good or not, you should look at what they do, not what they say."

Many people in this world say one thing and do another; this is what is meant by hypocrisy.

"Are Grandpa and Grandma those kinds of people?" Xu Yao asked, puzzled.

"What kind of people do you think they are?" Wang Chengyu asked in return.

“What they say and what they do are different; they are hypocrites,” Xu Yao replied after thinking for a while.

Wang Chengyu patted his arm and said earnestly.

"When the Big Bad Wolf was trying to trick Little Red Riding Hood, he said some very sweet things. Little Red Riding Hood believed his sweet words, and as a result, she and her grandmother were both eaten by the Big Bad Wolf."
