Chapter 311: Double Standard

Song Yan sat aside, his glance sweeping over Song Yusui's embarrassed look, the schadenfreude in his eyes impossible to hide.

He also deliberately lightly bumped Song Lujing's arm beside him, mouthing the word "that," making the latter suppress a laugh until his shoulders trembled slightly.

Grandma noticed his small move and didn't let him off: "A Yan, when will you quit the circle to help your brother? Don't always be in the entertainment industry showing your face; the family business should also be learned to take over."

Song Yan immediately wiped the smirk off his face, picked up his tea cup and took a sip, trying to bluff his way through: "Got it, got it, Grandma, I'm just not done playing yet; once I finish filming my current project, I'll report to the company—what's the rush?"

What tea, so bitter.

Grandma stopped pressing him, turned her gaze to Mu Nian, her voice softening a bit: "Niannian, why haven't you brought Xiao Jiu over? You two are really something—you're about to get married, yet you haven't brought her over for us to take a good look; I still want to have a chat with that child."

Mu Nian sat on the sofa, hearing this he gave a gentle smile: "She went to see her maternal grandmother today, saying her maternal grandmother missed her; next time I'll definitely bring her over to keep you company."

"Fine."

Grandma nodded, then turned her gaze to Song LuXiao, who was trying to keep his presence as low as possible: "LuXiao, you're twenty already—do you have a girl you like?"

She spoke with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of matchmaking: "I think Nanran from the Nan family is quite good—same age as you, you used to play together as kids, she's dainty and gentle, a perfect match for you."

Song Lujing silently gave his grandmother a thumbs-up in his heart.

Song LuXiao let out an "ah," lifted his head with a clueless expression, his eyes full of innocence: "Grandma, what are you talking about? I don't know her."

Grandma: "Don't play dumb, you know her."

Mu Youyu sat aside, softly reminding: "LuXiao bro, she's Cousin Yan's cousin."

Only then did Song LuXiao feign sudden realization, waving his hand: "Oh, that little girl I used to look after a bit—I have no impression of her, I don't know her."

After saying that, he furtively winked at his younger sister, signaling her not to spoil things.

Grandma, faced with his unresponsive attitude, had nothing to say and could only sigh helplessly, then turned her gaze to Song Lujing.

"Xiao Jing, you don't just know how to play games all day—you'll ruin your eyes from playing! When will you go help at your brother's company, learn how to manage the business, instead of always idling about?"

Song Lujing inherited his father's founded enterprise company, renamed it AY Group, backed by the Song Family, and ranks among the top domestically.

Song Lujing let out two awkward laughs, shifted his gaze, and immediately pointed the blame at Mu Xi beside him, trying to drag him in: "Grandma, Xi bro also plays games, and he's even created several hit games himself—why don't you say something about him, only about me?"

He thought this would shift the fire, but he didn't expect that lifting the stone would smash his own foot.

Upon hearing this, Grandma's eyes lit up instantly, she quickly turned to Mu Xi: "Heavens, little Xi, is that true? Our little Xi is so smart—not only good-looking, good at studies, good at piano, and great at games……"

"And he even knows how to create games—what a capable child."

Her tone was full of undisguised favoritism.

Mu Xi humbly chuckled: "Grandma, you're overpraising me—it's just a little hobby, not really any skill."

Grandma shook her head: "He's far more capable than Xiao Jing."

Song Lujing looked at this double-standard scene, the corner of his mouth twitching, collapsed on the sofa with a look of utter hopelessness.

Song Huaixian said in a teasing tone: "Oh dear, you're boring yourself, and you still want to drag our little Xi into it~"

He had barely finished speaking when Grandma fixed her gaze on him.

Grandma glanced at him and immediately continued: "And you, Xianxian, stop always being improper, acting like a carefree playboy—do you have a girlfriend? Don't just fool around outside; when you find someone suitable, settle down."

Song Huaixian's face fell instantly, he muttered dissatisfied: "Where am I improper? I'm clearly reliable! Grandma, why don't you say anything about my brother—he's always holed up in the lab, never even leaves the house; why don't you urge him?"

He tried to drag Song Huaiyu into sharing his misery.

"Your brother's busy in the lab doing important work, contributing to the country—how can you compare?" Grandma rebutted righteously, turning her gaze to the calmly composed Song Huaiyu beside her, her voice softening a bit.

Song Huaiyu said lightly: "You can't compare with me."

Song Huaixian choked up, unable to speak, then in a huff rose and plopped down between Mu Yichen and Mu Yichi, his face fallen, looking just like a bullied child.

Grandma stopped paying attention to him, turned her gaze to Mu Xianqi not far away, her voice gentler, carrying an elder's concern: "A Qi, you too—you're almost twenty-five; do you have someone you have in mind?"

"If there's someone suitable, don't hide them—bring them back so we can see."

Although the Mu family, aside from Mu Nian's branch, has no blood relation to the Song family.

But she and Grandma Mu were close friends for many years, and Grandma Mu has passed away.

The Mu family's children have all grown up under her watch, and moreover they are cousins of her precious granddaughter, so naturally she keeps them in her heart.

Mu Xianqi held his tea cup, voice calm: "Grandma Song, I'm a marriage abolitionist—I have no intention of finding a partner."

Seeing Grandma Song's gaze turn to them, Mu Yichen and Mu Yichi exchanged a look and immediately said: "Grandma Song, we are also marriage abolitionists."

Mu Youyu couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Liangjin noticed, secretly squeezing her palm: "Want to go to the amusement park later?"

She nodded.

Although it's a bit chilly, being able to go out and play with A Jin is also nice.

Grandma helplessly shook her head, yet also stopped pressing them, her gaze shifting to Mu Youyu beside her and Mu Xin opposite.

Her tone instantly became utterly indulgent: "Youbao, Xinbao, tell Grandma anything you want, she'll arrange it for you—just don't wrong yourself!"

Mu Youyu lifted her little face, sweetly replying: "Got it, Grandma—I won't feel wronged."

Mu Xin also nodded obediently: "Okay, Grandma, thank you."

Grandma finally glanced past the other uncles, each with their own thoughts, and her gaze landed on Song Huai sitting opposite.

Her tone softened instantly, with a hint of concern: "Xiaohuai, if you're tired, go out more, meet friends for tea, or go abroad to relax, don't stay cooped up at home all day, you'll make yourself sick."
