Chapter 2028: Rude and Ill-Mannered

Before finishing his words, Bo Qingshan had already turned around to resume his breakfast.

Song Yuan found herself rebuffed by a mere child repeatedly, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to curl her toes in discomfort.

She had met Bo Qingshan before, when Bo Yanching returned to Beijing, bringing his young nephew to meet friends. At the time, Bo Qingshan was following quietly, behaving nicely to everyone, clearly not showing the sharp-tongued, face-tearing character he displayed now.

“Mr. Song and Mrs. Song visited yesterday with urgent business to return to Beijing. Yuan Yuan’s leg injury is not yet healed, making it unsuitable for flying. They entrusted her to me for a few days, and after dealing with their affairs, they’ll send someone to pick her up.”

Old Lady Bo placed a small steamed bun in front of her on the small dish but hadn’t eaten it yet. She always paid attention to her manners, never speaking with food in her mouth. Her kind face bore a gentle smile as she spoke clearly and unhurriedly, “Anyway, I am free, so taking care of Yuan Yuan for a while is alright. There are many rooms at home, and I’ve set one up for her to stay. From now on, Yuan Yuan is our guest.”

She looked at Bo Qingshan, “Especially you, young man. Be mindful when speaking and avoid yelling thoughtlessly.”

Bo Qingshan put down what was in his hands, “I understand, Great Grandmother. I will do as you say.”

Her lightly reproachful gaze swept over Bo Qingshan’s face, then shifted back to Song Yuan, “Yuan Yuan, don’t mind it. Children speak recklessly. I’ll punish him later. While here, feel free to treat it like your home, don’t be constrained.”

Song Yuan’s smile was hard to maintain as her face almost stiffened, feeling particularly conflicted inside.

Earlier, when Bo Qingshan acted rudely towards her, why didn’t this Old Lady intervene to stop him? Her dignity had been put down pretty thoroughly already, only to run out now smoothing things over.

No manners?

Bo Qingshan had been raised under Old Lady Bo’s care since young. To say Bo Qingshan has no manners is essentially cursing at Old Lady Bo directly.

Song Yuan, feeling stuck and uncomfortable, thought about how she hadn’t even had the chance to stir things before Nan Jiaojiao entered and asserted her host status pointedly, serving garbage to the Bo Family. Truly from a minor household with no insight.

She couldn’t understand, given their status, even if they wanted a taste, shouldn’t they go to a high-end restaurant with top chefs? Nan Jiaojiao brought those street vibes into the Bo Family, not worrying about others knowing and laughing at it!

“Not at all, Grandma. You’re too thoughtful. I really like Qingshan; nothing has happened between us. I disturb you here, so please be tolerant. If Yuan Yuan does anything wrong, just treat her like your granddaughter.”

Old Lady Bo casually curled her lips and brushed it off before turning to speak with Nan Jiaojiao.

Song Yuan clutched her palm tightly, feeling uncomfortable staying, yet unable to swallow the bitterness if she left. An empty bowl in front of her but nobody attended to her.

“Jiaojiao…”

As Song Yuan spoke, the table’s laughter and chatter abruptly ceased, with everyone turning to look at her. She bowed her head in apprehension, then raised it with a tentative smile, “I’m curious about the taste. Is it tofu pudding? May I try it?”

Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t imagine the noble lady actually eating such things, given she had just criticized it as trash.

But one shouldn’t hit a smiling face; this much tact she understood.

“Sure, I’ll get some for you to taste.”
