Seeing that the eldest lady's eyes were about to pop out, the second wife also felt that the old lady's behavior today was a bit abnormal. The eldest lady knew the origin of the bracelet and she knew it too. She even joked in private that the old lady would definitely keep the bracelet as a family heirloom.
But now she gave it to Xia Yu easily. Too many things had happened recently. The old lady was getting old after all. "Mom, this is the souvenir that dad left for you."
The old lady smiled, "Your father left me a lot of things, and the most noble ones are you. Sooner or later, won't all these things be given to you?"
You're not confused, then why don't you give it to Mina? The eldest lady opened her mouth again and again, but was stopped by her eyes.
Since the old lady said so, let Xia Yu accept it. The second wife smiled and said to Xia Yu, "Xiaoyu, why don't you thank grandma quickly?"
"Thank you, grandma!" Xia Yu's head was still dizzy and she said a few words mechanically.
"Thank you for what? As long as you are happy, grandma will be happy." The old lady held Xia Yu's hand with a loving look on her face.
Zeng Mina on the side felt as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. She was engaged to Shen Mo, so the eldest lady and her father set up a table in the hotel and decided on the date. The old lady didn't show up at all.
On the day of their engagement, the old lady gave her a diamond necklace, but was it comparable to this bracelet
"Mina, come here too." The old lady waved to Zeng Mina.
It's probably best to give herself a gift. Xia Yu already gave her a bracelet. She is also the eldest sister-in-law after all, so the gift she gave must be more noble than hers, Zeng Mina thought to herself.
The eldest lady on the side also had the same idea. She looked at the old lady helplessly, wanting to see what good things she would come up with.
However, the old lady disappointed them. She just asked her to come over and accompany her, "Let's go, grandma will take you to see grandma's baby."
No gift? But as soon as they heard about the baby, they immediately became active again and continued walking with the old lady.
But the old lady took them to the flower room, which was full of expensive flowers.
"Grandma, you're so beautiful!" Xia Yu exclaimed.
"You think it's beautiful, too." The old lady said proudly, "The one I have here is much better than Xiao Yan's."
"That's, it's like heaven and earth, incomparable!" Xia Yu hit Shen Yan without hesitation, and the old lady smiled when she heard it.
"How dare you say that if you and Xiaoqiang hadn't pruned the branches randomly, they would be what they are now?" Shen Yan was embarrassed to tell her. He didn't understand and couldn't be more modest, so he just picked up the scissors and cut.
"This is your excuse. You want to pass the responsibility of failing to grow flowers to others. I won't believe it." The old lady said and walked towards an orchid. "Look at my orchid. It was already wilting. Even the gardener I threw it away, do you see how good it looks now?”
Shen Yan took it and took a closer look. It was not bad, but he had doubts. "The gardener must have helped raise it."
The old lady snatched the flowerpot away and scolded with a smile, "You brat, will you lose a piece of meat by praising grandma?"
Everyone laughed at the words.
At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly heard the vibrating sound of her cell phone. She took it out of her bag and saw the words Cai Yanyan's call displayed on it.
She took two steps forward, turned her back to everyone, and answered the phone.
"Hey, Cai Yanyan."
"Hello, I'm not Cai Yanyan. I'm the person who lives with her. She's sick. She's been vomiting and fainting. I just sent her to the hospital, but I have something to do later and can't stay with her here. I I see your phone number is on her phone. Can you come to the hospital and take care of her now?"
When Xia Yu heard this, she frowned subconsciously and said repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go there now. Which hospital is it?"
When the others heard this, they all looked towards her. Xia Yu hung up the phone, turned around, and said anxiously, "It's Cai Yanyan's roommate who called."
Shen Yan looked at her and said, "What happened?"
Xia Yu replied: "She is hospitalized."
Cai Yanyan is also an employee of the company, and Shen Yan immediately said, "Which hospital is it at? I'll take you there."
Xia Yu glanced at the old lady. It was rare for her to be so happy. She shook her head and said, "No, you stay with grandma. I'll go there by myself."
Upon hearing this, the old lady hurriedly said, "You might as well go and have a look. Colleagues in a company should help each other. If it's serious, call us."
Xia Yu nodded and responded, "Okay, I'll leave first. Grandma, see you later, auntie."
Shen Yan said from the side: "You really don't need me to send you off?"
"No, it's rare for you to come back. Please spend more time with your aunt and grandma. I'll leave first. If you need anything, please call me at any time."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Shen Yan didn't insist.
After Xia Yu left, the old lady said she was tired and asked Zeng Mina to help her back to the room.
Zeng Mina reluctantly helped the old lady into the room, "Grandma, you rest, I won't disturb you."
"Mina, sit down and talk with grandma." The old lady took Mina Zeng's hand and smiled and said, "I watched you and Ke'er grow up. At that time, I was still with your mother and Ke'er's mother joked that it would be great if you grew up to be the wives of our Shen family. You are engaged to Xiao Mo, but Xiao Yan and Ke'er don't have that fate. However, it doesn't matter, fate is very important. It’s amazing that Xiaoyu and Xiaoyan are so happy, and I’m very satisfied.”
"Grandma, I'm not very good at talking, so don't mind. Aren't you angry if Shen Yan doesn't want to be with Ke'er?" Zeng Mina wasn't completely provocative. She really didn't understand why the Shen family would choose a member of the wrong family. Wrong woman.
"You kid." The old lady smiled and said, "If you live to my age, there is nothing you can't bear to see. As long as you are good, grandma will be happy."
real or fake? Zeng Mina was really confused.
The old lady patted Zeng Mina's hand and said, "When you and Xiao Mo got engaged, I didn't invite your parents over. Today I want Xiao Yan to go over and invite the Xia family's parents first. Are you angry?"
If you're not angry, isn't she stupid? But when the old lady asked her face to face, Zeng Mina couldn't say she was angry. She was about to say no. The old lady added, "Actually, grandma also thought about this issue at the time and wanted to invite your parents to come over. But your parents made such a fuss. If I sent out an invitation, your father would definitely not bring your mother over. Instead, he would Ms. Zhou brought her here. If so, should I invite her over? It would be embarrassing. If not, your mother would be very sad. "
Zeng Mina's eyes were red after saying this. The old lady was indeed thoughtful. It was also a pity that she didn't invite her parents over at that time, because her father had already told her at home that he would take Zhou Jiali there, so that her mother could find an excuse to postpone the meeting, so as to avoid the embarrassment of everyone meeting.
For this matter, Zeng Mina begged her father for a long time, saying that it was such a big deal like her engagement, what would it be like if her biological mother didn't go there? But my father wouldn't listen.
Fortunately, the Shen family didn't invite her in the end, so the matter was over. Otherwise, my mother would have been so sad.
"Grandma, I understand, and I'm not angry!"
"As long as you're not angry, our two families can still sit together when we have the chance, what do you think?" The old lady wiped away Zeng Mina's tears.
To say that this child is pitiful, despite the fact that she has no worries about food and clothing, she looks very happy. But the old lady knows that's not the case. If we really want to compare, she is really not as happy as Xia Yu.
"Thank you, grandma, I hope there will be such a day." Zeng Mina's tears started to flow even more happily. She was really desperate that her parents could reconcile. It is an unattainable dream for two families to be happy together.
Soon, Zeng Mina came out of the old lady's room with red eyes. When the eldest lady saw her, she quickly pulled her to a place where no one was around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zeng Mina's eldest daughter has a bad temper. Today the old lady clearly prefers Xia Yu. Could it be that she had a fight with the old lady? Why is this kid so restless
"It's nothing, I'm a little uncomfortable, let's go first." Zeng Mina said and turned around to leave. Even the eldest wife called after her several times without stopping.
Needless to say, he must have been scolded by the old lady. This old lady really had the nerve to scold others. The eldest lady would like to hear how her old man disciplined her.
He went directly to the door of the old lady's room, knocked twice, and walked in without waiting for the old lady to say come in.
The old lady was just lying on the bed when she heard the movement and didn't even raise her eyelids. "Coming?" She knew who it was without even guessing. Others were not as arrogant as her.
The eldest lady walked directly to the chair opposite the old lady and sat down, "Mom, Mina is crying."
"I know." The old lady said calmly.
"Mom, I'm not talking about you, and I don't have this preference for you. Xia Yu is your future grandson and daughter-in-law, isn't Mina? Look at what you did." The eldest lady was too embarrassed to say it directly.
Hearing this, the old lady's eyelids finally moved, "Why am I partial? Xiao Yu is Xiao Yan's girlfriend. He told everyone personally. Ask Xiao Mo to say the same, of course I have the gift. I will The three grandsons will not favor one over the other."
The old lady's words made the eldest lady speechless for a long time. Indeed, it was her intention to get engaged to the Zeng family, and her son was not willing at all. But Hun is engaged after all, "But she is Xiao Mo's fiancée now."
The old lady said, "Yes, so when they got engaged, I also gave them gifts. As for these old things, they are souvenirs I left to my children. I hope they can be passed down from generation to generation, preferably to the Shen family's daughter-in-law." Keep it as if it were yours to keep.”
The old lady said it bluntly. Shen Yan and Xia Yu were dating for the purpose of getting married. But the engagement between Shen Mo and Zeng Mina was entirely motivated by profit, and whether they could make it to the end depended on whether it was valuable.
In this case, how could she give the family heirloom to Zeng Mina.
In this case, the eldest wife also agrees. It is true that there are still many problems between Zeng Mina and Shen Mo. It is indeed too early to regard her as a member of the Shen family.
"Mom, I don't suspect that you are not good to Xiao Mo. The key is that this matter has spread to the Zeng family, which is a bit embarrassing." Zeng Ziqiang has always been resentful about the fact that the old lady did not come forward when the two children were engaged. Yu Huai. As a result, he became even more dissatisfied.
"It depends on how you say it. Xiao Yan ignored the advice and insisted on being with Xia Yu. My old man didn't even prepare a gift. In desperation, he gave her the bracelet he was wearing to save face. This is also a way of saying it. . It’s also a way of saying that my old lady favors her second grandson. It depends on how you say it.” Otherwise, the eldest lady’s move to investigate the case quickly became ill-considered.
"I understand, Mom, please rest. I'll call you for dinner in the evening." The eldest lady got up and went out, as long as the old lady told him to keep Xiao Mo's share for him.
