Yuezheng Xiao greeted his grandmother, and spoke with her for a few moments. Soon after, Madame Yuezheng started to ask him about the lipsticks.
She kept blaming him for not caring about his cousin. As expected, she said that it was a matter of just a few lipsticks which only cost a few hundred liang!
Yuezheng Xiao did not bother to listen to her carefully. He let the words go through his ears and disappear.
A few hundred liang was a huge amount in any family. The Yuezheng Family was really rich, but a few hundred liang was still a sizable amount.
He was not going to give them to Yuezheng Ting for free just for her whim. Not even when Madame Yuezheng asked for it.
However, Madame Yuezheng just mentioned this briefly instead of forcing Yuezheng Xiao to do it for Yuezheng Ting.
However, that was not it.
Madame Yuezheng did not continue with it, but suddenly added. "We have manv business affairs in our familv, and vou can help with our familv business as well. You can just leave this store to Ting who can train herself. She can earn some money as well. She is a girl, totally suitable for such a store, what do you think?"
Yuezheng Xiao was not a stingy person. But he was disgusted by what he had heard.
No wonder she did not pester him earlier. This was what she was thinking about.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Madame Yuezheng further said, "I will decide it for you, just give the store to Ting, like the source and everything.
Don't forget to teach her well."
Yuezheng Xiao turned her down.
Yuezheng Xiao smiled. "Grandmother, what a coincidence! I am trying to train myself as well. I started it with my own money, not with the family money. I am saving this for my wife, not others. If a cousin wants to train herself, why not pick any other store from the family business? Or she can open one herself if she likes.
He was not working for the family. But for the business line from the northwest, his Elder Brother would have dropped it too.
The two brothers worked hard not for the second section of the family to take advantage of. That's not how things worked.
Madame Yuezheng was startled.
She sounded a bit annoyed. "But it is just a small store… if Ting likes it…
"But I like it too!" Yuezheng Xiao smiled but he did not mean to smile. He replied in a frivolous tone. "Grandmother, you know that I will never give away anything I love. Grandmother, spoil me once too, alright?"
Yuezheng Xiao smiled, got up and left.
"This child has been taught so badly by his parents!"
The Second Mrs. Yuezheng and Yuezheng Ting walked out of the room behind and Second Mrs. Yuezheng said, "Don't be mad, Mother, Ting has forgotten what Xiao is like. He is right, just drop it."
Madame Yuezheng sneered. "He is because his parents have taught him wrong!"
Yuezheng Ting pursed her lips and said in a muffled sound, "I love this store a lot. That is why I asked the Third Brother for it. How could he turn me down for just one thing I asked him for?"
"How can he talk with you ? Doesn't he feel guilty when he speaks with you , Grandmother?"
