Chapter 14

Xia Zhi didn't know the situation, and she couldn't tell the secret contest between old lady Huo and Tang wanran. It was because Tang wanran's words were not comfortable.

"Chunlan, cook more dishes in the evening and ask Huaichen to come back early. It's rare for our family to have a meal." Said old lady Huo.

"Yes, old lady."

Aunt LAN goes to the kitchen and asks her aunt to prepare food. Xia Zhi sits quietly beside old lady Huo and looks at a newspaper on the table.

It's the news about Huo Huaichen's night meeting with the mysterious woman last night. The layout is just in the direction of old lady Huo. I don't know if she has seen it.

After thinking about it, Xia Zhixing seems to pick up the newspaper unintentionally, browse the section at will, fold the newspaper and press it under several magazines.

Old lady Huo's eyes narrowed and saw everything in her eyes. The corners of her mouth rose faintly.

She looks back, grabs Xia Zhi's hand and says, "Xiao Zhi, follow me to the study. There's something I want to give you."

Without looking at Tang wanran, she took Xia Zhi upstairs.

When she came to her study, Mrs. Huo took out a pear box from the drawer of her desk.

Xia Zhi's grandfather liked to collect some antiques. When she was a child, she grew up in her grandfather's house and was influenced by them. So she recognized it as a Huali gall wooden box. The patterns on it were something she had never seen before. It should be an extremely precious Huali gall.

Mrs. Huo opened the box and took out an emerald ring from it.

"The ancestors of the Huo family were officials in the Qing Dynasty. They were rewarded with this ring for their meritorious service. At that time, it was still a rarity. Later, it became the family heirloom of the Huo family, only the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Now, grandma gives it to you. "

Xia Zhi a panic, step back, quickly waved: "no grandma, I can't take it!"

Old lady Huo looked at her, "why not?"

"I..." Xia Zhi opened her eyes, "your grandson and I are at fault. I shouldn't have..."

Huo old lady a smile, interrupted Xia Zhi's words, "no matter what you are because of together, you entered my Huo family, is our Huo family's daughter-in-law, this is the fact."

"But..." Xia Zhi pursed her lips and said, "there's my sister-in-law. Grandma, I can't ask for this ring."

As for the eldest daughter-in-law, it should be her sister-in-law, not her.

Hearing Xia Zhi mention Tang wanran, old lady Huo lowered her eyes and said faintly, "Huaichen is not here. Huaichen is the eldest grandson."

Xia Zhi also refused again. Old lady Huo said directly: "if you call me grandma, you must take this ring."

Although contact is not much, but summer Zhi know, Huo old lady's temperament to one not two, if he insisted on not accept, will offend her.

Think of this, summer Gardenia had to take down the hard skin, "thank grandma, I will take this ring."

Old lady Huo laughed, took it up and put it on her slender fingers. "Wearing it, it's a valuable ring, but if you keep it, it's a stone, but it's just beautiful."

Summer Gardenia speechless to refute, nodded, wearing the left hand of the ring, suddenly become heavy, the heart also followed the load repeatedly.

She knew in her heart that the ring meant more than that.

When Huo old lady pulls Xia Zhi's hand building, Huo Huaichen has come back.
