She lifted her hand, directing the servant before her, the jade bracelet on her wrist lightly tapping, evoking the warmth of the years.

【7】

I like all these vases; I'll take them all.

【9】 Jiang Liangjin, Shen Ningmu

Five 28‑inch suitcases stood before the sofa, catching the eye; his mother, Shen Ningmu—who usually can't even be bothered to turn a bottle cap—was stuffing the made‑to‑measure new clothes until they were bursting.

「……」 -> none.

"Who's to blame for the decision's mistake?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, his eyes sweeping over the overstuffed suitcases.

"You're kidding me." Shen Ningmu doubled over laughing, "I finished the university‑level problems in middle school; now using practice questions as an excuse is worse than just saying you want to get away from Mom."

Shen Ningmu sat on the sofa laughing, "Best to lure her back! Don't fall short compared to other little boys, as the saying goes, 'Those near the water get the moon first.'"

He said, "Grandfather has always been the most particular about rules."

"What rules? The daughter-in-law is what matters."

Shen Ningmu deliberately drew out her tone, the smile at the corners of her eyes spreading to her brows, "Your grandfather keeps mentioning A Yu."

Earlier, knowing the two had argued, he got so angry he scolded the three of them for several days.

Jiang Su chimed in, his tone full of indulgence: "What your mother said is right, your grandfather also keeps mentioning A Yu... Back when I was courting your mother, I even stole the antiques your grandfather had hidden and used them as doorsteps!"

This was said in rebuttal to his claim that grandfather is the most particular about rules.

The youth finally turned around, his clear and handsome brows and eyes appearing even more aloof under the living room's crystal chandelier light.

He had indeed heard this story from his grandmother, but...

He swept his gaze over the parents' mischievous smiles, his tone still calm and steady: "Grandfather's antiques were given willingly by him, not stolen by you."

"Fine, fine, fine, it was voluntary."

Shen Ningmu's eyes crinkled with a smile as she took out a box from her handbag and handed it over: "This is a gift for A Yu! Remember to give it to her when you get the chance!"

It was a rather large box.

Jiang Liangjin went downstairs again.

"Got it." He took the box.

After he took it and started walking upstairs, Jiang Su whispered: "A Mu, are we really going to bring that many vases?"

Shen Ningmu smiled and lifted her chin: "I bought a villa over there, will decorate it, and as for home... when we come back we'll conveniently hit the auction to get a few more."

"Your wife is too clever."

"No need for you to say that!"

"We want them, we want them!"

"..."

Jiang Liangjin held the gift box and returned to his room.

Just after finishing his shower, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

As the screen lit up, a pinned chat popped up with a little sun emoji: "【A Jin, come online! My second brother's newly made game beta, I'll take you flying!】"

Following it was a constantly jumping game icon.

He wiped his hair with one hand and typed back with the other: "【Here.】"
