Aren't you a loving grandfather?

"Feng Rong..." Xia Zhong called his wife's name to warn her regarding her words, then turned his head towards Jiang Yue, "Sit down first Xiao Yue... Have you eaten already?"

She followed her uncle's words and sat beside Xia Mingyu, "Xiao Xiu and I have eaten."

"That's good."

"What? Are you just gonna let her disrespect me?" Feng Rong fumed when she saw how her husband treated the girl.

Hearing that, Xia Zhong glinted his eyes but then he couldn't help but lecture the girl also, "Xiao Yue, is there any misunderstanding you have with your Auntie? It's not good to be disrespectful."

Feng Rong raged even more when she heard her husband's words, "What do you mean by that? Do you think it's my fault?"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yue's eyes.

She sat on the chair lazily with her arms folded, her long and slender legs stretched out under the table.

Seeing her laidback attitude made Feng Rong angrier if that is still possible with her already red face.

"Look at how she behaves herself. Is that even the correct attitude she should show to her family?"

Jiang Yue scoffed at the older woman's words, "Family? You think you're qualified to be one?"

Feng Rong angrily stood up when she heard that as she pointed her finger towards the girl, "Yo—You... How dare you!"

Xia Mingzhou then added, with a tone filled with condemnation, "Cousin, how could you say that to Mom? Not greeting her is still acceptable but—"

"Did I ask for you to talk?" Her eyes drifted towards Xia Mingzhou, and the other girl couldn't help but shiver when she saw the malice in Jiang Yue's eyes.

"Insolent!" The Old Master's stern voice echoed inside the dining room. Hearing the girl insult his precious granddaughter made him furious.

Xia Mingzhou with her grandfather's scolding, help her gain the confidence she just lost, then she said softly as though compromising, "It's fine Grandpa."

The old man softened his voice this time, "No, how could she just come in here and talk to you like that?"

"Aren't you a loving grandfather?" A voice broke the heart-warming exchange between the two.

Everyone was stupefied by Jiang Yue's statement.

They turned their heads towards her and she was still sitting lazily, her mocking eyes were directed towards the old man.

"Jiang Yue." Xia Zhong warned.

"I hope you'd also be this loving towards Jiang Xiu, she's also your granddaughter."

The old man who was about to admonish the girl, asked in a somewhat subdued voice, "What do you mean?"

"I found some bruises on Xiao Xiu's body." Jiang Yue slowly uttered, emphasizing each word.

Her frigid eyes moved around from one person to another, then they stopped on Xia Mingzhou.

Feng Rong simply scoffed, "What does that have to do with us? She might have gotten those from hanging out with you."

Jiang Yue stood up and went around the table to walk toward Feng Rong.

Seeing the girl coming towards her, Feng Rong couldn't help but take a step backward as she asked nervously, "What are you doing?"

"I could inflict the same bruises on you."

"Don't you dare!"

"Xiao Yue!"

She stopped walking and grinned, making her cold face look more menacing and wicked.

"What? I'm just kidding." This time she sat beside Xia Mingzhou, who was the only one left sitting.

"Then let's talk about the monthly allowance I sent for Xiao Xiu."

"What monthly allowance?" Xia Zhong asked as he took a seat also.

He couldn't help but be ashamed when he just acted as though he was afraid of his niece.

"I sent money every month for Xiao Xiu for 3 years already, yet she did not receive even a penny." Xia Zhong was stupefied when he heard that, just as he was about to ask who Jiang Yue sent the money to, he saw his wife's pale stricken face and he already had an answer to his question.

Xia Mingyu who did not see his Mother's reaction, asked instead, "Who did you send the money to Cousin?"

Jiang Yue gestured her head towards Feng Rong, "It's your Mother who claims to be my family."

Shen then scoffed, "I didn't know that when you treat someone as a family you should rob them."

Xia Mingyu looked at his Mother and he doesn't even need to ask to know that it was his Mother's doing.

"What do you mean? I used that money to feed your sister!" Feng Rong defended herself when she saw her son's disappointed look.

Her reply only made everything worse, as Xia Zhong couldn't help but be more guilty of his wife's actions.

Jiang Yue laughed out loud at what Feng Rong said.

Her laughter rang inside the dining room, making everyone's body hair stand on end with its coldness.
