Chapter 1236: 304: Go back to where you came from!_3
Shangguan Xi smiled and said, “Xiaomei, from now on, taking care of grandma will be your responsibility.”
Cao Xiaomei expressed the awkwardness of a girl who just entered the city vividly, “Brother Chen Jun, sister-in-law.”
“Don’t be nervous,” Shangguan Xi reached out and patted her on the shoulder, “from now on, treat this place as your own home.”
Cao Xiaomei looked up at Shangguan Xi and bravely said, “Sister-in-law, you are so nice! Chen Jun is really lucky to have married you!”
Shangguan Xi had a pretty good impression of this girl, Cao Xiaomei.
That very night, she gave Cao Xiaomei two new sets of clothes.
Cao Xiaomei put on the new clothes and stood in front of the mirror, then took a pair of earrings from the jewelry box given by Mrs. Wu and put them on, followed by a jade bracelet.
“Indeed, clothes make the man.” Cao Yueyue walked in from outside.
Cao Xiaomei said somewhat embarrassedly, “Aunt, you just love to tease me.”
Cao Yueyue laughed and said, “Did I say anything wrong? Look at how you’ve dressed up, you look much more impressive than that useless hen!”
It’s just that Cao Xiaomei was born into a less fortunate situation.
Otherwise, she would be more than ten times better than Shangguan Xi.
Cao Xiaomei sat down on the couch with Cao Yueyue and said, “Aunt, this is for you.”
She had just divided most of the jewelry from the box.
Cao Yueyue refused, saying, “This was given to you by the old lady, I really can’t accept it.”
Though she said she didn’t want it, Cao Yueyue’s eyes never left the jewelry.
Who doesn’t like good things?
Especially when they’re free!
Cao Xiaomei forcibly placed the items into Cao Yueyue’s hands, “Aunt, please keep it. If it weren’t for you, how could I have caught Mrs. Wu’s eye?”
Only then did Cao Yueyue ‘reluctantly’ accept them. “Xiaomei, since it’s your heartfelt gift, I won’t be polite!”
This niece was truly worth the affection.
This trip to Beijing was not in vain after all.
Cao Xiaomei continued, “Aunt, we are family, you don’t have to be polite with me.”
Giving away so many valuable jewelry was indeed painful for Cao Xiaomei.
But it couldn’t be helped; as the saying goes, you can’t catch a wolf if you’re not willing to lose a sheep.
Cao Yueyue patted Cao Xiaomei’s hand, “The old lady wants face; she wishes to have a great-grandson and a daughter-in-law from a matched family background, but where on earth can you find such a perfect scenario? Xiaomei, now you need to not only win the old lady’s favor but also make Chen Jun fall in love with you. Of course, the most important thing is to bear a son for Chen Jun soon.”
