Jasmine rubbed her forehead and said, “I know you never loved Shawn. I was just worried that you’d feel guilty. Shawn is fine the way he is now. He’s the successor of the family, so he has to suffer a little. He needs to face ssetbacks in order to grow and becsteady.”
“Aunt Rachel did all that for his own good. It’s good that he was sent away to train himself. What do I have to be guilty about?”
Serenity sat at the counter and took out her phone. “I’ll tell my man about this lest he gets jealous and misunderstands again.”
Taking the initiative to tell Zachary was better than him finding out from the bodyguards.
With Zachary’s personality, he was sure to get jealous again if he found out from his bodyguards that Shawn and she had met.

After a while, she cout with a plate of grapes and placed it on the counter, saying,” Shawn bought these–the seedless grapes we often eat.
“So, how was it? Was your dad your grandparents‘ biological son?” Jasmine asked with concern as she took a seat.
“Yeah. The DNA test I did with my granddad showed that we’re related by blood. After I took the report and showed it to John and the others, they finally behaved and stopped fussing.
“We’ve resolved the matter through a negotiation.”
Serenity picked up a bunch of grapes and popped one into her mouth. “These grapes are so sweet.”
Jasmine saw that Serenity was in a happy mood and smiled. “It’s great that you’ve settled it. You don’t have to get involved with them in the future.”
“We’ll be going back tomorrow to sign a new agreement with them. I’ll give them the money after they transfer the title deed of the house to my sister.”
“Did you buy their share of the land?”
Serenity hummed. “Yeah, the solution they cup with was either we buy their share, or they buy ours. My grandparents don’t have much money left, so it’ll cost a lot if they want to buy our share.
“He has a bunch of sons and grandchildren, but none of them are willing to pay. He was so angry that he told us to buy his share instead, and they’d keep the money for their retirement. They’ll continue living in the house, but his children will pay the rent and utilities.
“I didn’t want to split hairs like this, but since they still tried to take advantage of us, I had no choice. It’s not like my dad was his only son. He has four sons. Even though my dad is gone, he still has three sons.
“In rural areas, each family will pay for their parents‘ expenses or take turns to live with and care for them when the elders are still alive. They can’t just live in my house for free, right? That’s why I asked for compensation. I don’t need the money; I just don’t want to be taken advantage of.”
Jasmine said, “You did the right thing. They only know how to take advantage of others to gain benefits for themselves, but when it’s tfor them to live out their old age, they push the responsibility to your family instead.”

Granddad’s retirement. He said that Granddad gave birth to his dad, but not to him, so the responsibility of taking care of Granddad in his old age had nothing to do with him. The old man was livid.”
Although Serenity felt that Old Mr. Hunt was getting his just desserts, she did not feel happy or satisfied. She just felt sorry for her parents.
Her parents were incredibly filial to their parents when they were still alive, but the more filial her dad was, the less her grandfather liked him. Even after her dad passed away, he was still being bullied by his own parents.1
Jasmine paused. “Isn’t John your granddad’s favorite? He used to have an annual salary of a million dollars when he worked in Elisa’s company. Elisa made him lose his job, but he deserves it. A person like him shouldn’t have a good life.”
“Old Mr. Hunt fought for my family property because he wanted to give everything to John, so John’s words really pissed him off. That was why he so easily agreed to the solution we proposed.”
Serenity felt the reason her granddad compromised so quickly was largely because he was hurt by his sons and grandsons‘ attitude.
In any case, the issue with the house was resolved.
