559 Questionable Presen (1/2)
Ning Yaohua’s gift was clearly a case of insincere splurging. On the other hand, Ning Xueluo’s present exuded effort in preparation.
She knew that he loved jade and was also a staunch Buddhist, so she chose to give him a jade beaded bracelet.
As Ning Zhiyuan assessed the bracelet, Ning Xueluo stood in front of him quietly.
Despite the unease in her eyes, the elder loved her very much.
Ning Xueluo had been staying with him ever since she was a child and even after it was found out that she was not his actual grandchild, he still treated her just like one of his own. He just did not like his eldest son's and daughter-in-law’s attitude.
Ning Zhiyuan sighed and gently said, ”Thank you for your gift, I really like it!”
Ning Xueluo looked relieved to hear her grandfather’s praise. Her eyes had reddened slightly and she excitedly said, ”I’m glad that you like it, Grandfather!”
The old man felt sorry for her upon hearing the girl’s sincerity in her voice. He did not want to involve her in his argument with his son and daughter-in-law. He then advised her, ”Your career is important but remember to take care of your health, especially since you’re a girl. Don’t overexert yourself!”
Ning Xueluo nodded heavily, feeling touched. ”Got it, Grandfather!”
Zhuang Lingyu and Ning Yaohua looked at each other after they saw that the elder’s face was full of warmth. They looked at Ning Xueluo, their treasure and pride.
The relatives and the guests at the side started their stream of flattery…
”Oh, the color of the jade looks really good. I'm guessing it costs at least two or three million dollars!”
”That’s no big deal. Xueluo’s brand ”History” made a net profit of tens of millions just this season.
What’s more is that she’s a famous superstar!”
”Elder Ning, you’re really blessed! Your children and grandchildren are so capable and filial!”
