Chapter 829: Jin, This is Grandma’s Meeting Gift for You

Qin Shuzhen followed them in, not expecting that everyone’s attention would be on Gu Jin and Gu Yang, leaving her momentarily unnoticed. This little girlfriend of Yize’s was clearly quite important to the Xiao family.
She walked to Tong Wan’s side and called out cautiously, “Ah-Wan, do you still remember me?”
After waking up from her long ordeal, eighteen years had passed. Tong Wan’s impression of everyone was still from eighteen years ago. Seeing Qin Shuzhen, who looked very different from her memories, she was stunned for a long time before saying hesitantly, “Shuzhen?”
Qin Shuzhen couldn’t help but hug her, tears streaming down her face. “Ah-Wan, it’s great that you still remember me.”
However, seeing Qin Shuzhen, Tong Wan couldn’t help but recall the events of the past. The chaotic scene of the plane accident flashed in her mind, turning her face slightly pale. She couldn’t feel at ease with her old friend and certainly couldn’t be as enthusiastic as before. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Noticing Tong Wan’s expression, Qin Shuzhen paused and slowly let go of her. Her eyes filled with guilt and pain. “Ah-Wan, I’m sorry. I let you down back then.”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
But not all “sorry” could be exchanged for “it’s okay.”
Tong Wan looked at her in silence.
The two elders of the Xiao family were enjoying their time with the children when they suddenly heard cries and sobs. They frowned.
Xiao Dingkun gently pulled Tong Wan to his side and addressed Qin Shuzhen in his usual easygoing tone, “Madam Ye, Wanwan has just recovered from a serious illness. Our family still has other matters to attend to today, so forgive me for not being able to entertain you.”
It was a polite but clear request for her to leave.
Qin Shuzhen wiped her tears and smiled appropriately. “It’s alright. I just came to see Ah-Wan. Our family let Ah-Wan down back then, and I haven’t been able to feel at ease as long as she was unwell.”
“Now that Ah-Wan has woken up safe and sound, I can feel a little more at ease. You still want to spend time with your future daughter-in-law, so I won’t disturb you further.”
Xiao Dingkun nodded lightly and asked the butler to see her out.
After Qin Shuzhen left, the living room remained a bit quiet.
Old Madam Xiao, holding Gu Jin’s hand, suddenly took out a box and opened it. Inside was a delicate white jade bracelet that looked quite old.
Old Madam Xiao smiled and put it on for her. “Jin, this is my greeting gift to you.”
Gu Jin wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about jade, but Ruan Xueling was in the jewelry business, so she had seen a lot of jewelry and jade. This bracelet looked exceptionally valuable and precious.
The quality of the jade bracelet was top-notch, clearly an antique from ancient times.
Gu Jin wasn’t used to Old Madam Xiao’s enthusiasm, but she didn’t dislike it. She tried her best to soften her voice. “Thank you, Grandma.”
Old Madam Xiao liked her even more upon seeing her accept the gift gracefully. Her smile grew even brighter.
Xiao Yize had informed his family in advance about bringing his girlfriend and her sister, so Old Madam Xiao had prepared two sets of greeting gifts. She gave Gu Yang a beautiful ruby necklace.
Gu Yang accepted it with a smile and thanked her politely.
The warm and easygoing nature of Xiao Yize’s family put Gu Yang at ease, dissipating the initial awkwardness she had felt.
The atmosphere was truly pleasant.
Auntie Tong Wan clearly adored her sister. Grandma Xiao was elegant, calm, and scholarly, exuding a well-educated and gentle demeanor.
It seemed that when her sister married into the Xiao family, there wouldn’t be any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Gu Yang thought too far ahead, but as she thought about it, she couldn’t bear for her sister to be taken away by Xiao Yize.
