Chapter 351 - Fate Is Really Wonderful

Chapter 351 Fate Is Really Wonderful

Seeing that First Madame’s pupils almost popped out, Second Madame also felt that Old Madame’s behavior was somewhat abnormal today. First Madame knew the origin of this bracelet, and she had joked in private that Old Madame would definitely leave the bracelet as an heirloom.

But now she should give it to Xia Yu with ease. So many things had happened recently. Old Madame was too old after all. “Mom, this is dad’s memorial to you.”

Old Madame laughed. “Your father left so many things to me, and the most honorable things are you guys. These things will be yours sooner or later, won’t they?”

You were not confused, but why didn’t you give it to Mina? First Madame’s mouth was opened several times, but her words were stopped by Old Madame with her eyes.

Since Old Madame said so, she would just let Xia Yu take it. Second Madame smiled and said to Xia Yu, “Xiao Yu, why not thank your grandmother?”

“Thank you, Grandma!” Xia Yu was still dizzy now, and she said these words mechanically.

“You are welcome. I’ll be happy as long as you are happy.” Old Madame held Xia Yu’s hands and looked at her lovingly.

Zeng Mina was quite uncomfortable and unhappy on the side. When she was engaged to Shen Mo, only First Madame and her father prepared a feast in the hotel and then fixed the date for their wedding. Old Madame did not appear at all.

On the day of their engagement, Old Madame gave her a diamond necklace, but how could it be compared with this bracelet?

“Mina, come over.” Old Madame beckoned Zeng Mina over.

Probably she would give her a gift as well. She had given Xia Yu a bracelet, and she herself was an older sister-in-law after all. So, Old Madame would give her a more honorable gift definitely. Zeng Mina thought so in her mind.

First Madame on the side had the same idea. She looked at Old Madame seriously and wanted to see what she would take out.

However, to their disappointment, Old Madame just let her come over and accompany herself. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to see my treasure.”

No gift? But as soon as they heard of the treasure, they immediately became active again and followed Old Madame to move on.

But Old Madame just took them to the flower house, which was full of expensive flowers.

“Grandma, it’s so beautiful!” Xia Yu made a burst of exclamation.

“I think so.” Old Madame said jauntily, “It’s much more beautiful than Little Yan’s, isn’t it?”

“Of course. They are poles apart. It is incomparable completely.” Xia Yu did not hesitate to hurt Shen Yan in words, which made Old Madame smile.

“How dare you say that! If you and Xiao Qiang hadn’t trimmed them at random, how could they be what they are now?” Shen Yan felt too embarrassed to say anything about her. She didn’t know anything about pruning plants, and she was not modest at all. She just picked up the scissors to trim them.

“It is your excuse. You just want to pass the blame onto others for failing to raise beautiful flowers. I won’t believe it.” Old Madame said and walked to an orchid. “Look at it. It had withered already at that time, and even the gardener advised me to throw it away. But you just see how pleasing it is now.”

Shen Yan took it over and looked at it seriously and carefully. It was beautiful indeed, but he still had doubts. “It must be the gardener who helped you raise it.”

Old Madame snatched over the flowerpot and scolded him with a smile. “You are a stinky boy. Will you lose anything to praise your grandma?”

Everyone was amused at her words.

At this time, Xia Yu suddenly heard the vibration of the mobile phone. She took out the mobile phone from the bag, and it was Cai Yanyan’s call.

She walked two steps forward with her back to everyone and picked up the phone.

“Hello, Cai Yanyan.”

“Hello, I am not Cai Yanyan. I am her roommate. She is sick. She has been vomiting and dizzy all the time. I just sent her to the hospital, but I still have something to do later. I can’t accompany her here. I saw your number in her phone. Are you convenient to come to the hospital to take care of her now?”

Xia Yu heard it and frowned subconsciously. She replied at once, “Okay, I’ll come over now. Which hospital is it?”

Others heard it and all looked at her. Xia Yu hung up the phone and turned around. She said anxiously, “It was Cai Yanyan’s roommate who called me.”

Shen Yan looked at her and said, “What happened?”

Xia Yu replied, “She is hospitalized.”

Cai Yanyan was also an employee of the company. Shen Yan said immediately, “Which hospital is she in? I will send you there.”

Xia Yu glanced at Old Madame. It was rare for her to be so happy. She shook her head and said, “No need. You just accompany grandmother. I’ll go there myself.”

Old Madame heard it and then hurriedly said, “Go to have a look. You should help each other as you work in the same company. If it is serious, just call us.”

Xia Yu nodded and replied, “Well, I will go first. Grandma, Aunties, goodbye!”

Shen Yan said on the side, “Are you sure you don’t need me to send you?”

“Yes, I am sure. You seldom come back. Just spend more time with Auntie and Grandma. I will go first. If there is anything, just call me at any time.”

“Okay! Be careful on the road.” Shen Yan did not insist then.

After Xia Yu left, Old Madame said that she was tired and let Zeng Mina help her back to the room.

Zeng Mina helped Old Madame to the room aggrievedly and said, “Grandma, have a good rest, and I won’t bother you then.”

“Mina, sit down and have a talk with me.” Old Madame took Zeng Mina’s hand and said with a smile, “I watched you and Ke’er grow up. At that time, I joked with your mothers that it would be great if you could marry my grandsons after you two grew up. You have been engaged to Little Mo, but Little Yan and Ke’er don’t have fate. But it is okay. Fate is really wonderful. Xiao Yu and Little Yan are so happy now, and I am very satisfied.”

“Grandma, I’m not very good with words, so please don’t mind. Won’t you be angry as Shen Yan is not with Ke’er?” Zeng Mina didn’t mean to make mischief, but she really did not understand why Shen Family would choose an unmatched woman.

“Silly girl.” Old Madame smiled and said, “I won’t take anything to heart as I’m at such an age. As long as you are happy, I will be happy then.”

Really? Zeng Mina was really confused.

The Old Madame patted Zeng Mina’s hand and said, “When you were engaged to Little Mo, I didn’t invite your parents to come over. Today, I asked Little Yan to invite Xia Yu’s parents first. You must be angry.”

Wasn’t she a fool if she was not angry? But Zeng Mina could not say that she was angry in the face of Old Madame. Old Madame said before she could reply, “In fact, I thought about this problem at that time. I also wanted to invite your parents to come over. But your parents were in such a bad relationship. If I had invited them, your father would not have brought your mother over definitely, but Miss Zhou. If so, should I invite your mother? If I had invited her, she would have been very embarrassed. If I hadn’t invited her, your mother would have been so sad.”

Zeng Mina’s eyes turned red when Old Madame said these words. Old Madame was really considerate. It was lucky that she hadn’t invited her parents at that time, because her father had already said at home that he would bring Zhou Jiali over. He let her mother be sensible and find an excuse to refuse, in case they would be embarrassed when they met.

Zeng Mina had begged her father for a long time because of this matter, saying that it would be inappropriate if her own mother couldn’t appear when she was engaged, which was really a big thing. But her father just didn’t listen to her.

Fortunately, finally Shen Family did not invite them, and this matter was over then, or how sad her mother would be.

“Grandma, I understand. I am not angry!”

“I’m glad that you are not angry. When we have a chance, our two families can still sit together. What do you think of it?” Old Madame wiped the tears which Zeng Mina shed.

This girl was very pitiful. Although she wanted for nothing and looked happy, Old Madame still knew that it was not what it appeared to be. Compared with Xia Yu, she was not as happy as Xia Yu was.

“Thank you, Grandma. I hope that there will be such a day.” Zeng Mina cried more violently. She had already given up the hope that her parents could reconcile. It was a distant dream for their two families to be together happily.

Soon, Zeng Mina came out of Old Madame’s room with red eyes. First Madame saw her and quickly pulled her to a place where no one was. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

This young lady had a strong temper. Today, Old Madame obviously inclined to Xia Yu. Did she have a quarrel with Old Madame just now? This child was so impetuous.

“Nothing. I am a little uncomfortable. I’ll go first.” Saying this, Zeng Mina turned around and left. Even if First Madame called her a few times behind, she didn’t stop at all.

Needless to say, she must have been rebuked by Old Madame. Old Madame really had the face to rebuke her. First Madame really wanted to know how she scolded her.

She went straight to the door of Old Madame’s room and knocked on the door twice. She didn’t wait for the permission of Old Madame and directly walked in.

Old Madame just lay on the bed. Hearing the movement, she did not even lift the eyelids. “Finally, you come.” She just knew who was coming without guessing. Others were not so arrogant as her.

First Madame went straight to the chair opposite Old Madame and sat down. “Mom, Mina has cried.”

“I know.” Old Madame said faintly.

“Mom, I don’t mean to offend you, but you are so partial. Xia Yu is your future granddaughter-in-law. So is Mina. Look at what you have done.” First Madame was too embarrassed to say it out directly.

Hearing this, Old Madame’s eyelids finally moved. “How am I partial? Xiao Yu is Little Yan’s girlfriend, and he told everyone about it himself. You just let Little Mo tell everyone that Mina is his girlfriend, then I will definitely give her a gift. I have only three grandsons, and I won’t hold any favoritism.”

First Madame could say nothing to resort to Old Madame’s words. Indeed, it was her idea to let her son have an engagement with Zeng Mina, and her son was not willing to do it at all. But after all, they were engaged. “But she is now Little Mo’s wife-to-be.”

Old Madame said, “Yes! So, when they were engaged, I also sent her a gift. As for those old things, they are souvenirs which I will leave to the kids. I hope that they will be passed down from generation to generation, and they would better be kept by the daughters-in-low of Shen Family, like you.”

Old Madame said these words frankly. Shen Yan had a relationship with Xia Yu in order to marry her while the engagement between Shen Mo and Zeng Mina was entirely profit-driven. Whether they could get married finally depended on whether she was still useful.

In this case, how could she give the heirloom to Zeng Mina?

In this case, First Madame also agreed with her. It was true that there were still many problems between Zeng Mina and Shen Mo. It was indeed too early to treat her as a member of Shen Family now.

“Mom, I don’t doubt that you are not good to Little Mo. The problem is that if Zeng Family knows it, it will be hard on the face.” The truth that Old Madame did not appear when the two kids were engaged still rankled with Zeng Ziqiang. In this case, he would be more dissatisfied after he heard about the thing which happened today.

“It depends on how to say it. Little Yan did not listen to our advice and insisted on being with Xia Yu. I didn’t even prepare a gift. Under the emergency, I took down the bracelet on my wrist and sent it to her to save her face. It is also a statement. And another statement is that I prefer my second grandson. It just depends on how to say it.” It had to be said that aged ginger was more pungent. First Madame’s punitive expedition soon became a lack of consideration.

“I know it, Mom. Have a rest, and I will call you at dinner.” First Madame, who went to the wall, stood up and went out. As long as Old Madame said that those things which would be sent to Little Mo were saved for him, everything would be okay then.
