    I pretended to be cheerful as I approached, but the old woman stopped me before I could reach her rocking chair.


    "Girl, I''m not a Cross!" Her tone was sharp. "As, where did you find such a rash girl?"


    I immediately interjected, "Am I rash? But I''ve known for a long time that As''s grandmother is surnamed Cross, right, honey?"


    "Right, my grandmother is indeed surnamed Cross." As spoke to me in a lovely manner.


    I then pretended to look puzzled and nced at the old woman in the rocking chair. "So, who are you, Grandma?"


    "How insolent! Where did such an impudent brate from?" The old woman was getting angry at being yed by me.


    "This is my home! I was just about to ask you the same question! How can you sit sofortably in my home? And what''s with the thing you''re sitting on? It''s ruining the attractiveness of this hall. It''s really tacky!"


    I ruthlessly criticized the rocking chair beneath her without holding back


    "Honey, I''m back. Please quickly get rid of this thing for me. It''s so out of ce, isn''t it? Clearly something concocted by someone trying too hard to be fashionable! It''s so ugly!" I pointed at the rocking chair.


    Actually, the rocking chair was innocent. Its style and color were quite nice. Furthermore, with Celine and Adeline''s financial resources, how could they buy cheap goods? It was just ced in the wrong location.


    If this chair were ced in a corner by a French window, in a sunny conservatory, or under a porch, it would be pleasant. Unfortunately, it was ced in the hall, which really didn''t match and seemed obtrusive.


    "Hey!" The old woman abruptly sat up straight and pointed at me after mming the rocking chair''s armrest.


    Before she could say anything, As''s expression immediately turned cold. His icy gaze pierced Adeline like a sword.


    The old woman held back the words she was about to say.


    My words had clearly made Celine, who had always restrained herself, somewhat displeased. As a proud person, she couldn''t take the insults from someone she hadn''t even given a cursory nce.


    "As, you''ve spoiled your wife. At home, we can put up with a little bit. But if she speaks so recklessly in


    public, it might make a mockery oxet


    the Pierce family." Celine''s tone was gentle, but her gaze towards me was filled with extreme disdain and hostility.


    As calmly responded, "I don''t think she''s wrong."


    This statement almost made me burst outughing, but Celine''s face turned a little red, though she still suppressed it. "Tsk tsk... the morals of today''s society are declining!" Adeline clicked her tongue disdainfully and said, "No manners at all!"


    I smiled and looked at the old woman innocently. "Madam, you''re absolutely right!"


    She snorted scornfully, sent me a scornful look, and appeared somewhat dissatisfied with what I had said.


    I continued, "Every era has its scum, right, Grandma?"


    As''s eyebrows raised slightly; he knew what I was going to say next. This expression really motivated me.


    I continued with an innocent
