Chapter 255 Being In Vain To Please Them
Owen had no idea why he was suddenly asked this question, and he was a little confused. He passed a look at
Donald as if to say, “Aren’t you putting me in a dangerous predicament? How am I supposed to answer that? I
can’t afford to offend both Mr. Jason and Hailey.” After a moment of silence, Owen smiled faintly and said, “We are a family, and we make money together.” Hearing his words, Jason and Hailey both became unhappy and said in unison, “Who is your family? We are not
a family! Don’t try to get close to us!”
Owen laughed again and said flatteringly, “Isn’t all the money Mr. Jason earns belonging to you, Hailey?”
This was true. Jason hummed lightly and said in a high voice, “Yeah, that’s what I mean.” Hailey did not reveal her grandfather’s true intentions. She could not say in front of so many people that the
reason Jason agreed to do the project and asked for half of the profits was to help her seek justice and a share
of the divorce money from Owen. She felt embarrassed about this reason, not to mention her grandfather. Hailey also looked serious and said straightly. “That’s what I mean too.” Hailey and Jason looked at each
other. They reached an agreement and immediately changed the subject, as if nothing had happened.
“Grandpa, you’ve painted a really good crane. How excellent you are!” Hailey praised Jason smiled benevolently, saying, “Your pine branch painting is also good. You are more skillful than your father. You are excellent too!” “Grandpa, thanks to your good teaching.”
“Although I taught you well, your success comes mainly from your hard work. You have good talent and are
also attentive…”
What a heartwarming scene of a loving grandfather and a filial granddaughter having a good time.
Donald narrowed his eyes and said to Owen, “Do you know what you look like now?” Owen lowered his eyes and did not answer, because he knew that Donald must tease him.
Sure enough, Donald laughed and scoffed, “Poor you. It’s funny that you are in vain to please them two.”
Alter a day at the Mazedew Museum, Hailey had a great time. She, Jason and the jade carvers studied and
discussed how to restore the broken jade fragments, quoting classics and talking about the past and the
present positively. The discussion was so heated that it was like a literary conference in others’ eyes.
Those who looked ordinary, plainly dressed jade carvers were hidden masters. They were not only highly
skilled, but also very knowledgeable. Their knowledge of classical history may be richer than that of history
professors. The so-called education and the so-called status were not the standards for measuring a person’s
real knowledge. In front of knowledge, money and status were worthless
Today, Owen also learned a lot. He knew it was a very good and right decision for him to decide on the “Never
Lose and Never Forget” project over the objections of others. He drove Hailey home, as if he had become
Hailey’s driver, but he was very happy.
It was quiet in the car and the two of them didn’t communicate. Owen had gotten some big boxes and put them
all in the back seat of the car. They occupied the place of the back seat. So, there wasn’t even a place to sit and
Hailey had to sit beside Owen. She knew his intention, but did not care about him. She just focused on her
