With a crisp sound, the jade bracelet was shattered.
Xia Yanxi and Mengyao were pushing each other just now, but who knows who didn't hold the bracelet firmly and fell to the ground
There was a moment of silence and stiffness in the air.
The old lady looked at the broken bracelet tremblingly. It was a priceless treasure passed down from generation to generation of the Qiao family!
Things that every generation of Qiao's daughter-in-law had carefully preserved suddenly shattered. The old lady's heart seemed to be filled with a raging fire. She looked at Xia Yanxi as if she wanted to eat her alive.
Xia Yanxi's delicate eyebrows frowned. The bracelet was broken. The old lady would definitely blame all the blame on her!
She frowned even more tightly at Mengyao, who was so anxious that she burst into tears when she saw the bracelet was broken. She already said she didn't want the bracelet, so why would Mengyao forcefully force it on her
Maybe Mengyao had good intentions, but from her point of view, how could she accept the bracelet given by the old lady from her love rival
Even if she wants it one day, it will be given to her willingly by the old lady.
The old lady clenched her hands into fists and walked towards Xia Yanxi with anger and annoyance in her eyes.
"Xia Yanxi, did you just break the heirloom of our Qiao family to pieces like this?" The old lady was so angry that she raised her hand and threw it towards Xia Yanxi's face.
Xia Yanxi stood there and did not hide. The bracelet broke. Although she didn't know who failed to secure it, she also had some responsibility.
She was willing to bear this slap from the old lady.
Closing her eyes, she waited for the moment the pain hit her.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound of a slap on the face.
You can feel the pain just by listening to the sound.
However, there was no trace of pain on Xia Yanxi's face. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw Mengyao standing in front of her, blocking her slap. Her pupils were wide-eyed and full of disbelief.
The old lady was also shocked. Just as she slapped down, Mengyao suddenly blocked her. She didn't even have time to retract her hand and directly hit Mengyao's face away.
"Yao Yao, you..." Looking at the red fingerprints that instantly appeared on Mengyao's fair face, the old lady frowned.
Mengyao touched her little face that was filled with burning pain. She knelt down in front of the old lady with a plop, tears streaming down her face, "Grandma, I accidentally broke the bracelet. It's none of Miss Xia's business. Please don't blame her! Also, I took advantage of you to go to the bathroom and wanted to return the bracelet that originally belonged to Miss Xia to her. I didn't expect it to break. It's my fault. If you want to hit me, just keep hitting her. Me!"
The old lady looked at Mengyao who took all the responsibility on herself, with distress flashing in her eyes. Mengyao has been a sensible child since she was a child, gentle and considerate.
Pulling Mengyao up from the ground, the old lady glared at Xia Yanxi who was like a wooden man with dissatisfaction, "If Yaoyao hadn't interceded for you today, I would have torn your skin off! You are like this, you still want me I will accept you in the next life!" After saying that, he pulled Mengyao, who was in tears, and left quickly.
Xia Yanxi looked at the two people leaving. Uncomfortable mist welled up in her eyes, and her chest felt as if it was pinched tightly by an invisible black hand, as if it was suffocating.
It was clear that both she and Mengyao were responsible for the broken bracelet, but the old lady didn't blame Mengyao at all.
If Mengyao hadn't married back then and had married Qiao Yanli, they would all have been happy!
