When Grandma Qin and her group returned, they found that the leftover food on the table was gone, along with the pots, pans, bowls, plates, spoons, and chopsticks.

I thought a thief had broken in.

"Hehe!" Grandma Qin searched the whole house. "Hehe, are you home?"

Ruan Tinghe had just dried her hair with a hairdryer when she heard someone coming back downstairs, so she quickly came out of her spatial dimension.

She came out wearing thick pajamas. "Grandma Qin, I'm here. What's wrong?"

Grandma Qin pointed to the spotless table. "Did you clean all of this?"

"Yeah, I cleaned it all up after I finished using the bathroom and had nothing else to do."

Grandma Qin couldn't believe it. "After you finished cleaning, you even took a shower, washed your hair, and dried it?"

Ruan Tinghe replied without any hesitation, "Yes, being well-fed and watered gives us plenty of energy!"

"You... that was way too fast!"

Grandma Qin recalled the mountain of bowls, plates, spoons, and chopsticks—enough for nine people! There was also a huge pile of plates, and two hot pots…

Ruan Tinghe not only washed all these things, but also took a shower, washed her hair, and dried it!

Before that, she even went to the toilet!

Is the power of a hot pot meal really that strong?

Grandma Qin even went to the kitchen to check the dishes. They were very clean, without any oil or dirt, and not even water stains. They were warm, as if they had been heated over a fire.

Grandma Qin, of course, didn't know that this was the dishwasher's built-in drying, disinfection, and sterilization function.

"Hehe is such an amazing child! Whoever marries her will be so lucky!"

It's a pity that her eldest grandson has someone he loves, her youngest grandson is still a child, and her second grandson isn't close to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let that brat Shen Yan get away with it.

No, Hehe will be her granddaughter in the future, so I can't let Shen Yan trick Hehe away so easily.

As the grandmother, she has to be very careful in choosing them!

After helping the children wash up, Ruan Tinghe put them to bed.

Everyone was exhausted after a long day. The four of them had just crawled into bed and fell asleep almost immediately.

Little did they know, someone was almost sleeping on the streets at that moment.

State-run hotel.

Ruan Jiaojiao is arguing with a hotel staff member.

"Why are you detaining my son! Release him immediately!"

Ruan Jiaojiao went to meet Qiao Xiaqing early this morning, and Qiao Xiaqing rented another house for her to live in.

But she didn't like it! She didn't want to continue living that kind of life, being under someone else's roof and dependent on them!

She wants to go back to her family home!

Therefore, they were picky about their new place and had various complaints.

Qiao Xiaqing had no choice but to cancel the lease on the newly rented apartment.

Just when Ruan Jiaojiao thought Qiao Xiaqing had finally softened and was going to agree to let her and Yaozu return to their family home, Qiao Xiaqing said that she would continue to look for a new house until she was satisfied!

What is she satisfied with!

She'll only be satisfied if she moves back to the family compound!

Qiao Xiaqing clearly knew what she wanted, but she pretended to be clueless and refused to give an answer!

Having no other choice, she bluntly stated that she wanted to move Yaozu back home, citing the high cost of hotel rooms.

As a result, Qiao Xiaqing would rather give her two hundred yuan to continue staying in the hotel than let her go back with Shen Yaozu!

Ruan Jiaojiao knew that Qiao Xiaqing must have believed Shen Yan's words and realized that Shen Yaozu was not Shen Yan's.

Even if she had been saved by him, Qiao Xiaqing would not let her move back now.

Left with no other choice, Ruan Jiaojiao could only take the money and return to the hotel first.

I never expected that as soon as I entered the hotel, I would learn that my son had been detained by the hotel!

When I saw my son, his face was red and swollen, especially his eyes, which were swollen like walnuts.

His clothes were tattered and torn, and he was missing a clump of hair!

Seeing her own mother, she neither cried nor shouted; she was completely dazed, as if she had lost her soul!

It's obvious they were bullied.

"What did you do to my son!"

The lobby manager adjusted his glasses and said in an extremely gentle and polite manner, "Ms. Ruan, your son burned our hotel's property and almost burned down the entire hotel. We were forced to detain him."

"As for his clothes and hair, he burned them himself. If we hadn't found him in time, he would have burned himself to ashes. As for his face... it was swollen from crying so hard."

"What?" Ruan Jiaojiao wondered if she was hallucinating.

"You're saying my son burned down hotel property and got himself into this state?"

"That's right!"

Ruan Jiaojiao was furious. "How could that be! He's only three years old! What does he know! Did you bully my son and then try to extort money from me?!"

"Do you even know who I am? Do you even know who my son's younger brother and grandfather are?! How dare you bully my son!"

The lobby manager was used to all sorts of unreasonable people, so he was unfazed by Ruan Jiaojiao's anger and threats. He wasn't afraid at all, since their hotel was backed by the state.

"Ms. Ruan, no matter who you are, or who your child's grandfather and biological father are, your son burned hotel property, which was witnessed by many customers and staff. Your denial is useless. Damaging hotel property requires compensation, otherwise we will have no choice but to call the police."

The mere mention of the police made Ruan Jiaojiao feel discouraged; she never wanted to go to a place like the police station again!

That place is her nemesis!

"Pay up! Pay up! It's just paying up! How much? I'll pay, okay?" Ruan Jiaojiao was furious and kicked over a flowerpot next to her, which shattered with a crash.

The lobby manager glanced at the flowerpot and said to the waiter next to him, "Make a note of this and add the cost of another flowerpot."

Ruan Jiaojiao was almost furious.

The lobby manager clapped his hands, and waiters brought up five or six burnt items one after another.

There are quilts, curtains, coffee table, table, carpet...

Moreover, these things were very familiar; they were from the room where Ruan Jiaojiao lived.

So, Shen Yaozu really did set a fire and burn all of these things?

How much money do we need to pay for these things?

Ruan Jiaojiao regretted it; she shouldn't have given in.

She squatted down, grabbed Shen Yaozu's shoulder, and shook him.

"Yaozu, tell me, did someone else burn these things? It has nothing to do with you!"

Shen Yaozu, hurt from being grabbed, forgot his fear and, in a fit of temper, started yelling, "I burned it, I burned it! I don't want to live here, I want to go home! I want to go back to the family compound! I don't want to be a wild child outside!"

"Ms. Ruan, your son has admitted it himself. Can you pay me back now? It's a total of 586 yuan. I'll round it down to 585 yuan for you." The lobby manager announced the bill with a smile.

"You want to charge me 585 for all this junk? Do you think I'm a sucker?" Ruan Jiaojiao pointed at the burnt things on the ground, convinced that the hotel was trying to extort her!

When she lived in the family compound, that quilt only cost 22 yuan!

That was already the most expensive and best quilt in the family compound!
