Chapter: 3070

Mrs. Xiao’s heart raced when she heard the news. She realized that Charlie Wade knew exactly what she was thinking. After finding out that Charlie was a significant person in her granddaughter Xiao Weiwei’s life, she understood that he had power and influence far beyond what she had imagined. This made her anxious to mend her relationship with Charlie’s family, hoping that it would bring her more benefits in the future.

However, she never expected that Charlie would see through her intentions. Not only did he reject her, but he also blocked her from reaching out to Xiao Churan, Xiao Changkun, or even Ma Lan for help. At that moment, she felt a wave of regret wash over her. “If I had known how powerful Charlie was, I wouldn’t have targeted him and his family. Now, I’ve offended everyone, and I doubt I’ll ever get a chance to fix this.”

Noticing Mrs. Xiao’s strange expression, Charlie asked, “Do you understand what I just said?”

“I understand…” Mrs. Xiao replied, not daring to defy him. After all, Xiao Weiwei’s future depended on Charlie’s approval, and crossing him would lead to disaster.

She nodded, albeit reluctantly, and said, “Okay… I get it.”

Satisfied, Charlie responded, “Remember what I said: the water in the well is not the same as river water.”

Then he turned to Xiao Weiwei and instructed, “Take her back.”

Xiao Weiwei nodded and replied obediently, “Okay, brother-in-law, I’ll take her.”

“Let’s go home, Grandma,” Charlie Wade said, helping the elderly Mrs. Xiao. She nodded slowly, looking defeated.

Charlie then closed the courtyard door and walked back to the villa. As Mrs. Xiao turned to leave, she noticed the small Hermes bag that Xiao Weiwei was holding. Curious, she asked, “Weiwei, why did you buy an Hermes bag? With our current situation, we can’t afford such luxuries!”

Xiao Weiwei looked flustered and stammered, “Uh, Grandma… this is for someone else. Just forget about it…”

“For someone else?!” Mrs. Xiao exclaimed, her voice rising in anger. “We’re trying to save money! I hope your dad and brother get better soon so they can help the family. And here you are, spending money on luxury gifts?! Do we really have the ability to give away Hermes bags?”

As she spoke, Mrs. Xiao reached for the bag, pulled out a small receipt, and gasped, “Mom! A belt costs nearly ten thousand yuan?! Are you out of your mind?! We can barely afford food, and you’re buying this? Return it immediately!”
