âI know that weâve been biased towards your sister ever since both of you were young. When it came to choosing gifts, weâve always let her pick first as well. However, when it came down to the big issues, have we ever wronged you?!â
Grandpa Jian reprimanded Jian Yunnao in front of the entire family. However, none of the other members dared to speak out.
No one had thought that Grandpa Jian would lose his temper over this matter.
As the head of the Jian family, he allowed his children and grandchildren to fool around to a certain extent. Mistakes were fine as well.
However, Grandpa Jian had principles that he stuck to. He wouldnât tolerate anyone who failed to abide by them.
The most important thing that allowed the Jian family to flourish over the years was harmony within the family.
Jian Yunnaoâs attitude failed to abide by Grandpa Jianâs principles.
Jian Yunnao was in complete shock. He froze in his tracks.
Grandma Jian saw that it was about time to wrap things up. She didnât want matters to escalate. âAll right, all right. Grandpa Jian, Yunnao was just a bit confused. Just talk to him and heâll understand. There is no need to be so angry. You need to watch your high blood pressure.â
The only one who dared to speak up at a time like this was Grandma Jian.
Then, Grandma Jian turned around to speak to Jian Yunnao, âYunnao, even if your grandpaâs words are a bit harsh, theyâre still reasonable. Look at Yujieâs clothes. Arenât they the same as Yunchengâs? How can they be so similar if your friend gave it to him? And even if your friend did give Yuncheng the sweater, why would she give one to Yujie? If you donât believe me, why donât you ask Yujie?â
Jian Yunnao was still stunned.
He had his doubts this morning when he saw Jian Yujieâs sweater.
Now that Grandma Jian mentioned it, he seemed to realize a fact.
Jian Yunnao turned around to look at his parents and brother.
Suddenly, he realized that his attitude towards them had been incredibly bad.
He hated Jian Yiling and not them. He shouldnât have directed his anger to someone else.
Jian Yunnao awkwardly turned his head away.
Wen Nuan said to him softly, âItâs okay. Mummy understands that youâve been in a bad mood lately. I donât blame you for being mean to me. I just want you to understand our intentions.â
Jian Yunnao nodded his head.
He couldnât express how he felt. However, either way, he had lost his appetite.
When Jian Shuxing and the rest of them saw Jian Yunnao accept their words, they became incredibly relieved.
Grandma Jian turned around and asked Grandpa Jian, âOld man, what else do you want to eat?â
Grandpa Jian used this opportunity to move on from the matter, âBring me another bowl of soup.â
Grandpa Jianâs anger went as quickly as it came.
The atmosphere had finally become normal again.
Grandma Jian asked Jian Yuncheng, âYuncheng, go get your grandfather another bowl of soup.â
âOkay,â Jian Yuncheng replied. He walked over to Jian Yiling.
When Yu Xi saw Jian Yuncheng come over, he said, âWow, both the sweaters that Brother Yuncheng and Brother Yujie are wearing were made by Yiling? They look so soft and warm. The style is also quite slim. It shows off your figure.â
When Jian Yujie heard this, he was delighted. âOf course, Yiling knitted it.â
No one else in the family had a sweater knitted by Jian Yiling. The only people that had one were Jian Yuncheng and him.
Furthermore, Yuncheng had only gotten one because it was his birthday.
Yu Xi smiled and said to Jian Yiling, âYiling, when you have time, please knit one for me and Master Sheng as well.â
He mainly said that because of the smug look that Yujie had on his face. Yu Xi wanted to make fun of him.
âI think thatâs a good idea,â Zhai Yunsheng added. He had been sampling his food.
They had assumed that he had been focusing on eating. However, it turned out that he had heard everything that had just happened.
âNo.â Before Jian Yiling could reply, Jian Yujie refused for her. âDid you not hear what Grandma Jian just said? It takes a lot of effort for my sister to knit a sweater. If you want one, go buy one!â
Then, he turned around to speak to Jian Yiling, âYiling, donât listen to Yu Xi. Heâs just joking around. He doesnât need a sweater!â
âWhat do you mean? Joking?â All of a sudden, Yu Xi felt that he had been accused.
However, Jian Yujie completely ignored him.
After Jian Yuncheng picked a bowl of soup up, he told Jian Yiling that, âThe soup is delicious.â
âMhmm,â Jian Yiling replied. Her eyes were focused on the barbecue grill. She didnât even look up.
