Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

Chapter 444: Acting Class

The old lady looked at the noodles and immediately slapped her thigh. “Oh, look at us. We have been talking, so the noodles are already lumpy.”

“Xiao Ai, do you have noodles at home? I’ll cook you a new bowl!” the old lady said.

Jian Ai felt disgusted by his hypocrisy and couldn’t be bothered to deal with it. She only said, “No need, Grandma. There are ready-made ones at home. I don’t like to eat noodles either.”

“Heh… Is that so…”

Old Madam Wang laughed dryly and could only give up.

At this moment, Jian Yu came out of the bathroom wiping his wet hair. He had vaguely heard Li Xia’s voice in the bathroom just now, so he was not too surprised to see Li Xia. He only said politely, “Aunt is here.”

Without waiting for Li Xia to respond, Jian Ai said to Jian Yu, “Brother, heat the dishes that I bought from Aunt’s house yesterday. I’m hungry.”

“Alright!”

Jian Yu answered and went straight into the kitchen.

Jian Ai seemed to have an invisible barrier around her. Her attitude and cold aura made Old Madam Wang and Li Xia unable to talk to her, let alone talk about the main topic.

The atmosphere fell into silence. Li Xia sat on the sofa and thought quickly. After a while, she suddenly spoke to the old lady in a casual tone.

“Hey, Mom, look. I only saw Elder sister only once, and it was when I was getting married. I haven’t seen her again since. Every time I come over, I can’t even cross paths with her.” Li Xia sighed and said, “I initially wanted to tell Elder Sister about Yunfa’s two courtyards.”

The old lady nodded cooperatively with a serious expression. “Oh… This is serious business. We should have a good chat with her.”

“Isn’t that so?” Li Xia continued, “Yunfa and I also discussed it. After all, Elder Sister helped us back then and agreed to Yunfa’s urgent needs. Because of that, Yunfa and I could buy a house and get married. Therefore, we thought we could just take back one of the two courtyards and give the remaining one to Elder Sister. After all, it’s not easy for Elder Sister’s family, right?”

Li Xia sounded as if she was being generous by giving Wang Yunmei a yard.

What was even more ridiculous was that the old lady even nodded and said in a praising tone, “Oh, Xia, you’re so sensible. If your elder sister knew you would give her a yard, she would definitely thank you.”

Then, she looked at Jian Ai excitedly and said, “Xiao Ai, did you hear that? Your aunt is so good to your family. She’s leaving one of the two courtyards for your family!”

From her tone, Jian Ai’s correct response should be to cry and thank Li Xia for her kindness.

Jian Ai’s expression was indifferent and with no fluctuation. She looked at Li Xia and suddenly asked, “Really? So Aunt and Uncle still have two courtyards?”

“Heh…” Jian Ai snorted and continued, “But Aunt and Uncle should keep them for themselves. My family will demolish three courtyards. I don’t lack yours.”

As she spoke, she looked at the old lady. “Grandma, quickly persuade my aunt. My family doesn’t lack money. She doesn’t have to give me a yard.”

“This…” The old lady was stunned. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Did Xiao Ai not understand, or was she pretending not to?

“This child. She knows how to joke.” Li Xia reacted quickly and said calmly, “Your uncle and I don’t have any other courtyards. I’m talking about the two courtyards that I sold to your family before.”
