Chapter: 3069

Xiao Weiwei’s shocking accusations left Old Lady Xiao feeling weak, almost causing her to collapse. She never imagined that the person who saved her life would be Charlie Wade, the very man she had looked down on and wanted to get revenge against.

This realization hit Old Lady Xiao like a bolt from the blue. She thought that anyone in the world could be Xiao Weiwei’s noble benefactor, but Charlie Wade was the last person she would have expected. Yet, it was true. He was the one who rescued Xiao Weiwei from being trapped in a bad situation and gave her the entire Shangmei Etiquette Company.

Now, Old Lady Xiao was filled with panic and fear. She thought to herself, “I was too arrogant when I spoke to Charlie Wade. He must be really angry with me. What if he decides to kick Weiwei out of Shangmei? Our whole family’s future depends on her! If she loses her job, we might go back to our old struggles. Will I have to go back to the supermarket and bag groceries again?”

As she considered the consequences of crossing Charlie Wade, Old Lady Xiao felt terrified. Her expression changed to one of regret and humility. She sighed sadly, “Oh, Charlie Wade… I really messed up. I didn’t realize that you would help Weiwei and us instead of seeking revenge…”

Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, “You helped us with kindness while I, the foolish old lady, shouted at you with resentment on your birthday. I truly can’t believe how blind I’ve been. Please, don’t hold it against us…”

“Villains. Since your grandma is quite old, try not to act like you know everything, okay?”

Charlie Wade watched as Old Lady Xiao quickly changed her expression. He couldn’t help but sigh, thinking, “This old lady may not have many skills, but she sure can act. She switches between joy, anger, sadness, and happiness in an instant—better than many performers! If only she put that energy into more serious matters, the Xiao Group wouldn’t be in such trouble.”

But Charlie knew Old Lady Xiao was old, and he didn’t want to be harsh. Since she had been subdued, he thought it best to give her a way out.

So, he said calmly, “Look, no matter what, you are Churan’s grandmother. I don’t want to fight with you. But from now on, remember that it’s best not to cross paths with us. Please don’t bring any more trouble to our family, or next time, I won’t hold back!”

Old Lady Xiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She realized that Charlie was the one keeping her family secure. If she didn’t change her ways, they might end up struggling to get by.

Quickly, she nodded her head repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice and promised, “Charlie Wade, don’t worry. Grandma won’t bother you anymore!”

Then, with a flattering smile, she added, “After all, we are family. There have been some misunderstandings in the past, but if we talk it out, we can still be a loving family. You are my grandson-in-law, and my granddaughter, Chang Kun and Ma Lan are my son and daughter-in-law. We are really close relatives!”

At that moment, Old Lady Xiao beamed with smiles.

With a face full of wrinkles, the old woman spoke softly, “Look at grandma. I’ve apologized, and we’ve settled things. It’s time for our families to get back together, especially today, your birthday. Let’s enjoy a meal together and put the past behind us. What do you think?”

Charlie Wade listened but responded with a sneer. “I don’t want anything to do with you or your family, so don’t get your hopes up.”

To make his point clear, Charlie added seriously, “About today and the arrangement I made for Weiwei with Shangmei Etiquette Company, if you tell Chu Ran or my in-laws about it, I will take everything back!”
