When she heard that it was chosen by her future grandson himself, and that he spent his own pocket money, Lan Yiqing was moved but also repeatedly scolded her son: "How could you let Little Jiayou spend money? What were you doing."
How could that little guy have money? Shouldn’t the adults be the ones to pay? It’s the thought that counts.
At the same time, she secretly decided in her heart that she must give the little guy a large red envelope later.
The only dilemma was whether to give cash or a check; it seemed she needed to discuss this with her mother-in-law later.
Lin Mubai smiled sheepishly, didn’t explain further, feeling that some things were best left unsaid, and his purpose was simply to let the family know about the little guy’s sincerity. Since that was accomplished, there was no need to continue the topic.
As he expected, both grandma and mom looked at the little guy with increasing affection.
Meanwhile, Lin Haotian, who was holding the gift, did not immediately open it but first focused his gaze on the little guy next to his father: "Your name is An Jiayou, right?"
"Hello, Grandpa." This grandpa was so kind, An Jiayou found himself liking him immediately, or rather, everyone in this family was so kind, he liked them all.
The simple address of grandpa immediately delighted Lin Haotian, who nodded repeatedly, his heart full of gratification. This child was indeed lovable. Latest content publıshed on novel·fıre·net
In the joyous atmosphere among everyone, Little Jiayou hid his smile.
"What’s wrong?" Lan Yiqing’s worried voice reached everyone’s ears, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.
"Will you dislike my mom because of me?" An Jiayou asked, his face full of worry.
The adults exchanged glances, momentarily stunned.
Among those who were stunned was Lin Mubai. Having discussed this topic at home before, he thought it was in the past but didn’t expect it to be brought up again. His expression gradually turned serious because the answer was very important to him as well.
The four members of the Lin Family looked at each other, somewhat at a loss for words.
Finally, Lin Haotian represented the whole Nan Family’s attitude. He lovingly gestured to Little Jiayou, signaling him to come over to his side. After Little Jiayou came to his side, he pulled him into his embrace before speaking: "Little one, Grandma and I aren’t narrow-minded parents. As long as it’s someone your Uncle Mu Bai likes, it’s fine. Living one’s life is ultimately for the sake of being ’happy.’ If one can’t live happily, then what’s the point of having so much? I know you’re smart, do you understand what Grandpa means?"
From his son’s brief words, Lin Haotian already understood his son’s decision. If it’s already destined for the future, why not give it a push? This way, perhaps he and his wife could sooner have a grandson or granddaughter in their arms.
What he didn’t know was that these words stirred a ripple in An Jiayou’s heart, even directly influencing his entire life.
But now, he was still just a twelve-year-old child. His IQ was good enough, but his EQ was slightly lacking. Unable to fully grasp everything, but even this slight understanding was enough to trust this grandpa’s words. So, An Jiayou firmly nodded: "I understand, Grandpa."
"Good, good child. You gave Grandpa chess, do you know how to play?"
