Ruan Xia almost couldnât hold back her laughter.
She hadnât seen Song Tingshenâs harsh side until now. It was only after seeing this side of him that she realized that Song Tingshen have been extremely tolerant and indulgent of the original owner and her!
He was clearly Song Corporationâs boss, but he was cutting them off by saying there was a bigger boss above him. There was no way his relatives could verify if his words were true or not. He had spoken so bluntly. Anyone that wanted face wouldnât continue to shamelessly talk about this matter further.
Song Tingshenâs great-aunt was angry, but she couldnât direct her anger at him. She could only yell at Qiaoqiao. âYou useless creature. You didnât properly study when you were in school and only went to a third tier college. Itâs too late for regret now. Even your relative isnât willing to let you work at his company. Just muddle along at home and wait for death!â
Wow, these words...
Ruan Xia glanced at Song Tingshen. His expression was calm. He didnât look affected at all. He even picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.
Qiaoqiao started crying. Song Tingshenâs great-aunt raised her hand, looking as if she was going to hit her. She scolded her for being a disappointment while the adults in the family persuaded her to calm down. It was very noisy.
Ruan Xia thought; what an impressive performance.
Finally, Song Tingshen said, âEducation isnât the most important thing. Itâs not always an indicator of your ability. But, the companyâs standards are inflexible. If Qiaoqiao isnât afraid of suffering, she can try submitting her resume at companies in the big city. Itâs normal to challenge yourself and give reaching for the stars a try while youâre still young.â
He paused. Before his great-aunt could speak again, he forestalled her by saying, âGreat-aunt, I think Qiaoqiao is very good. She can find a job without relying on others. You donât need to worry too much.â
... He had already said words to such a point. If his great-aunt wanted to preserve a little bit of face, she wouldnât shamelessly insist that Song Tingshen give Qiaoqiao a job.
Ruan Xia discovered that Song Tingshenâs fighting strength was very strong. His ability wasnât limited to work. He could deal with his outrageous relatives very well too.
The discussion shifted to small talk until it was time for dinner. Song Tingshenâs great aunt had prepared a large table of dishes. It could be seen that she had spent a lot of effort.
Little Wangâs shiny gold bracelets had obviously attracted the attention of Song Tingshenâs great auntâs granddaughter. The little girl was a year older than Little Wang. Seeing that Little Wang had bracelets and she didnât, she threw a fit demanding them. Taking advantage of when Ruan Xia and Song Tingshen werenât paying attention, she tried grabbing them off of Little Wang.
Fortunately, Little Wang had chubby arms. Even if she wanted to snatch them, it wasnât easy to pull them off. Her efforts only hurt Little Wang. Little Wang normally didnât cry much. This time, he didnât cry either. He only called out for his mom.
Seeing that adults were going to come over, the little girl dropped to the ground and rushed to be the first one to bawl. Her cries were heart-wrenching to hear.
Her wailing quickly drew the attention of the adults.
Ruan Xia didnât want to bother with her. She knew her sonâs personality. He was usually protective of the girls in the villa area. And so, she didnât even look at that little girl. She walked up to Little Wang, who was aggrieved and confused, and picked him. She hadnât said anything, but she had used action to show that she supported her son.
Little Wang hugged her neck and leaned on her. He aggrievedly called out mom several times.
âWhatâs going on?â With furrowed brows, Song Tingshenâs great aunt walked over here. She saw that her little granddaughter was out of breath from crying, but her response was shockingly to yank her granddaughter up. âWhatâs wrong with you? Didnât I tell you that heâs a guest? Heâs younger than you. You should let him have his way. Youâre a year older than him. It canât be that he bullied you, right?â
