Chapter 156 A Money Packet
The next morning, as Angela came downstairs from her room, she spotted a cheerful Bruce. sitting there.
Jonathan was seated across from him, his gaze slightly lowered, with a smoothly curved. profile.
Upon catching sight of Angela, Bruce’s smile stretched even wider. He waved enthusiastically and called out, “Angela, good morning! Did you have a good sleep last night?”
Returning his warm smile, Angela replied, “Old Mr. Lawson. I slept like a log. What brings you here so early today?”
“Hehe… I came to check on how you and Jonathan are doing these days.”
His intentions were clear, and Angela didn’t want to give anything away. She simply blushed slightly and lowered her voice. “Old Mr. Lawson, we’re doing fine.”
Taking note of her reaction, Bruce assumed she was feeling a bit shy.
He chuckled even louder as if picturing himself strolling around next year with a chubby baby in his arms.
Bruce patted the seat next to him. “Angela, come sit here and chat with me.”
Just as she was about to step over, Jonathan glanced at the time, lifted his gaze, and said calmly, “Grandpa, it’s time for Angela to go to class.”
Bruce shot him a glare and retorted, “I timed my visit perfectly. It’s still early”
Quickly, Angela reassured. Jonathan, it’s okay. I don’t have any important class this morning.
Bruce finally let Jonathan go and resumed conversing with Angela, even reasing her about being bullied by Jonathan.
During his conversation, he completely disregarded Jonathan, his own grandson.
Angela repeatedly assured Bruce that Jonathan was very kind to her, so they proceeded to the dining hall for breakfast together.

Bruce was highly pleased with Ms. May and promptly presented her with a money packet. He praised her for looking after the young couple.
Ms. May accepted it with a heart full of gratitude.
Angela noticed a thick stack of money packets in Bruce’s pocket.
She blinked in surprise and inquired, “Old Mr. Lawson, why do you carry so many money packets with you! Today is not a special day.”
Across from her, Jonathan’s dark eyes met Angela’s, and a subtle smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
“After we got engaged, Grandpa began distributing them to everyone he encountered.”
Bruce chuckled. “Such great joy should be shared with many.”
Some old friends whom he hadn’t had the chance to see were also informed of this news, and he even said that now they could share the joy of money packets, but in the future, when the two of them got married, they couldn’t be stingy and should reciprocate a bigger one.
Angela glanced at Bruce, then at Jonathan, and softly chuckled.
After dinner, Jonathan happened to be heading to the company.
He offered to drop Angela off at school despite it not being on the way. Angela didn’t decline. so as not to give Bruce the impression they were overly formal as a “young couple.”
Thus, under Bruce’s approving gaze, the two of them entered the car.
As they drove, Angela gazed out the window at the passing scenery until Jonathan’s voice interrupted.
“Close the window and keep warm. It’s chilly this morning. Don’t want you to catch a cold.”
She immediately obediently closed it and then looked out through the car window. Along the way, they passed several places, which were the construction sites of future large shopping malls and commercial buildings.
Angela turned to look at Jonathan and asked, “Jonathan, have you acquired extra properties. or land?”
He gave her a curious look. “You seem quite interested in that?”

As her words trailed off, Jonathan fell silent for a moment before replying, “Yes.”
It wasn’t necessarily because of her words; his original plan was to venture into the real estate.

Recently, he had also acquired land and properties in Riverdon and its vicinity.

Angela waved goodbye to him as she got out of the car.
Jonathan lowered the car window. “I’ll pick you up

She didn’t refuse and crisply replied, “Okay.”
