Zhang Xian immediately sat up straight from his chair. “Granny? Do you really have a piece of jade? Really?”
Zhang Tao looked smug and didn’t say anything. Zhang Xian perked up, grabbed Zhang Tao’s thin wrist, and said, “Granny, Dad and Grandfather keep saying you’ve got a treasure hidden somewhere. So it’s true? You really do have a treasure?! Where is it? Let me have a look!”
Zhang Tao still had a proud look on her face and ignored him. However, her lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile. Zhang Xi knew at a glance that she must indeed have something valuable hidden away. He hugged Zhang Tao’s arm and turned on the charm, saying, “Granny, my dear sweet Granny, your grandson’s entire life’s happiness rests on you! Granny, as long as you take out your treasure and help me marry Ting Ting, I guarantee you’ll live a pampered life for the rest of your days!”
“Think about it; Ting Ting’s family is wealthy, but her father doesn’t have a son! If I marry her, won’t the family business be mine? When that happens, I’ll bring you to the family villa and specially assign two maids to serve you. Doesn’t that sound great? It also saves you from dealing with my clumsy mother, who doesn’t know how to do anything. What do you think?”
Zhang Tao was already quite enticed by the lavish lifestyle her grandson described, but she uttered, “Really? Will you truly be so filial to me?”
Zhang Xian immediately held up three fingers and swore to the heavens, “Of course I will! I wouldn’t be able to live such a good life without you! My grandmother is the most important person to me, Zhang Xian! I can’t forget the one who brought me my life’s happiness! I’ll most certainly treat my grandmother like my most respected person!”
Zhang Tao couldn’t help but smile. She asked, “What about your grandfather and your parents?”
Zhang Xian waved his hand. “They don’t deserve it! What kind of life they live and whether or not they can live in the villa is up to my grandmother. Isn’t that right, Granny?”
Zhang Xian brought all his ass-kissing skills to bear; he’d been good at this since he was a child. Although his grandmother would occasionally get beaten by his grandfather, the person who had the most ideas and made decisions in this family was still his grandmother.
There had always been rumors that Granny had a precious treasure on her hands, left behind by his father’s past child bride. However, Zhang Xian couldn’t tell if the rumors were true or false because Granny had never taken it out all these years. Even his good-for-nothing parents hadn’t ever seen the treasure.
