Chapter 812: Designer Bags are My Children

Back when the Internet was criticizing her, Hu Jiaojiao unstintingly spent money to hire people to boost Jian Yiling’s reputation. She wanted to help Jian Yiling in her own way.
“Waaa, Yiling…”
Hu Jiaojiao gave Jian Yiling a big bear hug before she planted a fierce kiss on Jian Yiling’s cheek.
Then, she picked a not-so-expensive designer bag from the box. She prepared to send the bag home to her mother.
However, Jian Yiling took a different approach. She picked up a few bags from the box and stuffed them into Hu Jiaojiao’s hands.
“I can’t use all these bags,” Hu Jiaojiao commented as she hurriedly shook her head.
“Neither can I.”
Unless she was attending special occasions, Jian Yiling typically carried a small black backpack whenever she headed out.
After all, in Jian Yiling’s opinion, bags had to be solid and practical. She didn’t really care about the brand.
Furthermore, she chose the color black because it wouldn’t get dirty easily.
As Hu Jiaojiao got handed five limited edition designer bags, she immediately called her mother:
“Mother, I got a suite for you.”
“Why are you telling me about this? Do we not have enough property already?”
“No no, that’s not what I meant. Instead, I got a suite worth of bags. They’re all limited edition designer bags from XDL.”
“What? Really?”
“Mhmm! There’s the alligator skin handbag as well! It’s the one that you didn’t manage to purchase last time.”
“Wait for me. I’m booking my ticket right now.”
Hu Jiaojiao’s mother was so excited that she went to book her flight ticket. She was ready to fly to Beijing to see these designer bags.
After Hu Jiaojiao ended the call, she couldn’t help but lament: “Ahh, I didn’t even see her this excited when I told her that I was going to attend a university in Beijing.”
Hmmm… She was probably adopted. Designer bags were her mother’s actual children.

As the Jian family business had been predominantly moved into Beijing, Grandma and Grandpa Jian decided to stay in the capital. They decided against returning to Hengyuan City.
As Master Zhai was worried that they’d get bored in Beijing, he invited Grandma and Grandpa Jian over to play mahjong.
Then, he invited two other people to join them.
After an entire afternoon of mahjong, Grandpa Jian was the only person who won.
Master Zhai played mahjong incredibly poorly. He kept moving the incorrect tiles. As a result, it was difficult for Grandpa Jian to lose.
The other two people did not dare to say a single thing.
They were content as long as Master Zhai was happy. After all, losing a bit of money did not matter to them.
However, Master Zhai was overthinking. Grandma and Grandpa Jian were not bored at all.
After all, the Jian family had a lot of children and grandchildren. On average, one of their children or grandchildren would come over every day to keep them company. In fact, their visits were more frequent than back in Hengyuan City.
Furthermore, Grandpa Jian enjoyed planting flowers. As long as he was given a backyard, he could stay by himself for the entire afternoon.
On the other hand, Grandma Jian watched a lot of dramas. In addition, she liked to talk to her friends endlessly on the phone. Therefore, her life was incredibly fulfilling. She was not bored at all.
After the mahjong session was over, Master Zhai decided to chat with Grandpa Jian.
“Brother, I saw some peony flowers a few days ago. I think you’d like them. Therefore, I asked the florist to send them to you in the next few days.”
Master Zhai had already figured out Grandpa Jian’s tastes.
Furthermore, he had already asked his men to search for famous and rare species of flowers and plants.
“Thank you.”
Grandpa Jian accepted the gift from Master Zhai.
After all, his granddaughter was going to get married into the Zhai family. Therefore, what was the point of being overly courteous?
Then, Master Zhai said with a smile: “Brother, our two grandchildren are no longer young. When will they give us our great-grandchildren?”
