Xie Li moved his wrist with a hint of dissatisfaction, pulling Jiang Yuying over for a moment before getting up and heading to the bathroom.

"..."

This man was quite childish indeed.

Jiang Yuying, who had just taken a refreshing shower, sighed helplessly as she smelled the strange scent clinging to her body. Then she changed her clothes, put on some makeup, sprayed perfume to mask the odor, and got everything ready before heading downstairs. However, as soon as she reached the ground floor, she saw someone sitting in the living room...

It was Xie Li's father, Jiang Yuying's father-in-law, Xie Junhe.

"Dad..."

Jiang Yuying called out, and Xie Jun looked up at her and nodded. He asked, "Where's A-Li?"

"He got drunk last night and woke up late. He's still upstairs getting ready."

"Hmm..." He pondered for a moment, preparing to reprimand him, but before he could speak, Xie Siyun rushed downstairs anxiously upon hearing her mother's voice.

"Mom, are you up? Are you hungry? Let's eat first. Dad will probably come down soon. Grandpa has already eaten breakfast and told us to eat our own."

She rattled on like a firecracker, talking non-stop, and then peered at Xie Jun, "Grandpa, do you want some more..."

Jiang Yuying wasn't foolish enough to stay there and listen to people scolding her. Her daughter came over to protect her, so she immediately took advantage of the situation, "Alright," she said, giving Xie Siyun's hand a tug and addressing Xie Junhe in a calm and respectful tone, "Dad, we'll go to the dining room first. It's not good for you to eat too much in the morning at your age. We'll accompany you for a walk later when my husband comes down."

After saying the polite words, Jiang Yuying immediately slipped away with Xie Siyun. When they reached the kitchen, they found that the maid had already prepared the food she had instructed and was arranging it on the table.

Not long after, Xie Li also came downstairs. At first glance, he saw Xie Junhe sitting on the sofa. He thought for two seconds and decided to take care of his own stomach first, "Dad, good morning. I'll go eat something first."

He was even more out of line than Jiang Yuying. Jiang Yuying at least said some polite words, but he didn't say anything other than those nine words.

After Xie Li sat down, Jiang Yuying handed him a bowl of porridge, which was vegetable porridge, plain but good for the stomach in the morning. There were also side dishes and pickled beans made by Auntie, which Xie Li liked. Auntie had filled a plate full of them, placing them especially close to him.

Xie Li didn't make a fuss and just enjoyed the pickled beans, making Auntie beam with joy.

Auntie had followed the original owner's mother when she married into the family. The original owner's mother was not very kind and quite strict, and she left much earlier than Xie Junhe. Auntie was strong-willed and treated Xie Li like her own child since he was a child.

So Xie Li's love for Auntie's pickled beans made her very happy indeed.

After the Xie family finished breakfast, Jiang Yuying wiped her mouth and said to Auntie, "Auntie, you can go back later. Come back after the holiday."

Auntie smiled and agreed, "It's okay to leave later. Old master is came over today, so I'll leave after lunch."

The servants of the Xie family mansion also had to take Chinese New Year holidays, but the mansion couldn't be left unattended. Most of them took turns to take holidays. Auntie, as one of the oldest servants of the Xie family mansion, would definitely stay at home during the New Year period, and her holiday was a little longer.

But Auntie didn't think it was a big deal to work a little longer. Especially with Xie Junhe still around, she could keep an eye on the kitchen to avoid making things that old master didn't like to eat.

Since Auntie said so, Jiang Yuying didn't persuade her. It wouldn't matter if she left a little later.

After eating their fill, Xie Li had to go deal with the big boss, Xie Junhe.
