Quoting a line from the old version of Zhuge Liang in Romance of the Three

Kingdoms, “I have never seen such shameless rascality before.”

Even though house prices have not yet reached their peak.

In the city center, the price for one square meter starts at fifty thousand.

For a 500 square meter apartment, you won’t be able to get it for less than thirty million.

This old thing really dares to ask for the moon.

However, Jiang Xu didn’t get angry; he still had a smile on his face, “That’s fine, I know plenty of people at the banks.

I’ll strive to get a suitable interest rate for my cousin at that time.”

Liu Cuilan was astonished, “What interest rate?”

Jiang Xu, “The interest rate for a loan, of course. A 500 square meter place in the city center will cost at least thirty million.

I can get my cousin a lower interest rate, so the monthly payments can be a bit more manageable.”

“What monthly payment, you’re really joking.” Liu Cuilan waved her hand dismissively, “It’s only thirty million.

For a big boss like you, that’s like an ordinary person taking out three cents from their pocket.

We’re all family here, you should just cover it for your cousin.

Also, get your cousin a car while you’re at it.

Nothing too expensive, something around two million will do.”

Chen Yue couldn’t hold back anymore, “Sister-in-law, what kind of joke is this?

Nobody’s money is picked up from the whirlwind.

Besides, Jiang Yang doesn’t even have a job right now, he can’t even afford the gas for a two million car.”

“What you’re saying is not right, Chen Yue,” Jiang Shui took a puff of his cigarette and said, “Now that your family has money, billions in assets.

As the eldest brother’s family, if you appear too poor, what would others say about you?

They would definitely accuse you of being immoral, without conscience, becoming successful without helping your family.

We didn’t want to ask this of you; we’re doing it for your own good.”

Jiang Xu almost laughed out loud.

This uncle of his was quite something.

A low-budget version of Boss Jia.

He could argue that black is white.

“Exactly, exactly,” Liu Cuilan echoed from the side.

The husband and wife tag-teamed, giving off the impression that if Jiang Xu didn’t fork over the money, he would be committing some sort of sin.

An Nuonuo had been quietly listening this whole time.

This was Jiang Xu’s family matter, and she had not yet married into the family, so she didn’t have the right to interject.

At this point, Jiang Xu was getting annoyed.

If it weren’t for his parents’ sake, he would have walked out by now.

Jiang Shan was also getting angry.

His eldest brother was not only greedy but also utterly lacking in perception.

He had already arranged a very decent job for his daughter.

Yet, they were still not satisfied and wanted more.

He could hardly stop himself from speaking out.

Just then, Jiang Xiaoxiao came in supporting her grandmother.

“Mom-”

“Grandma, hello-”

Jiang Xu and the rest stood up to greet her.

Even if they didn’t like it, the respect due to an elder was still necessary.

“Hmm,” Yang Qing looked at Jiang Xu and his family, nodding slightly without much expression, “You’re here.”

But when she saw his uncle and aunt, her face was full of tenderness, “Hehe, let’s eat.”

An Nuonuo couldn’t help but look towards Jiang Xu.

This blatant favoritism was outrageous.

Jiang Xu just shrugged; he didn’t feel much about it.

After all, he hadn’t felt much in the way of familial affection from his grandmother since he was little.

It didn’t matter to him.

At that moment, Cousin Jiang Yang was called out as well.

He was bleary-eyed and his hair was a mess.

He didn’t look too well and was clearly someone who stayed up late often.

“My dear grandson, you stayed up late again last night, didn’t you?” Yang Qing looked at him fondly, reaching out to touch Jiang Yang’s face.

But Jiang Yang slapped her hand away, a look of impatience on his face.

“Brother.” Jiang Xu called out.

“Hello, big brother.” An Nuonuo followed suit with her greeting.

It was only then that Jiang Yang noticed An Nuonuo.

He didn’t pay much attention to Jiang Xu, but the moment he saw An Nuonuo, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

“Who are you?” Jiang Yang asked, quite excitedly.

“My girlfriend.” Jiang Xu answered indifferently.

Instantly, Jiang Yang felt very annoyed, and a strong tide of jealousy surged within him.

Why is it that at a similar age, I’m still single, while you’ve managed to find such an outstanding girlfriend in every aspect?

Chen Yue called everyone to sit down.

Seeing the dishes on the table, Jiang Xu’s irritation increased a few notches.

It’s the festive season, and it’s not like I expected you to prepare a lavish meal.

But at the very least, you should have the basic chicken, duck, fish, and meat, right?

And what’s on the table?

A dish of mapo tofu, a dish of stir-fried dried bean curd with garlic.

Two plates of greens, a seaweed soup, and two plates of pork.

All the dishes on the table combined might not even add up to 100 yuan.

Sometimes, to see how important you are to someone, just look at what they serve you, and it becomes clear.

If you hold a place of importance in their heart, even if they don’t have much money, they would try their best to prepare nice things to entertain you.

In this instance, Uncle’s family showcased stinginess and frugality to the utmost.

Even putting it a bit harshly…

They simply didn’t consider our family important at all, not willing to spend any money on us.

Liu Cuilan said embarrassingly, “We don’t have much at home, I hope everyone doesn’t mind.”

Jiang Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, giving Liu Cuilan a questioning look: Mom, what’s going on?

Just last night, on New Year’s Eve, our house had a variety of rich dishes.

How come today, it has turned into this?

Liu Cuilan returned a look: They’ve tasted every delicacy there is, they should eat more of these vegetarian dishes, it’s good for the health.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was speechless.

She knew what kind of person Liu Cuilan was.

No matter how nicely she puts it, she’s just stingy.

Jiang Xiaoxiao awkwardly lowered her head.

When she had come home for the New Year, she had given Liu Cuilan several hundred thousand, their home was not short of money at all.

But Liu Cuilan’s actions made it impossible for Jiang Xiaoxiao to lift her head.

She felt even more embarrassed to face Jiang Xu.

Even An Nuonuo, who had the best temperament present, had her face slightly change for the worse.

Wasn’t this just pure bullying?

“What are you waiting for? Let’s eat,” Yang Qing announced.

Then she picked up her chopsticks and kept serving Jiang Yang dish after dish.

There wasn’t much meat on the table to begin with, and most of it went to Jiang Yang.

Such obvious favoritism.

Under the table, An Nuonuo quietly held Jiang Xu’s hand.

She felt aggrieved on behalf of Jiang Xu.

All were grandsons, how could they be treated so differently?

Jiang Xu smiled at her.

He didn’t think it mattered at all.

“Mom, do you have something you want to say?” Jiang Shui gave Yang Qing a look.

“Oh, right.” Yang Qing nodded her head, turning to Jiang Xu, “In our family’s generation, we don’t have many siblings, just these few of us.

Since you’ve made it, naturally you should help out.

How about this, give your male cousin and your female cousin 10 billion in cash each.

Also, arrange a stable job for your male cousin, and that should be about it.”
