Meng Chuyuan was not a reserved person.

Perhaps it was because of her kind greeting, but Grandma Lu smiled and nodded kindly. “Hello.”

Grandma Lu waved at her. At the same time, she used her other hand to chase

Lu Qianling to the side, making space for Meng Chuyuan.

“Sit over there and give your sister-in-law a seat.”

Lu Qianling was chased away by her grandmother and had no choice but to move to another spot. She occupied Lu Jinsen’s original position and then vacated the spot beside her grandmother.

Lu Jinsen was forced to stand up. He walked to the armchair and sat down.

After seeing Lu Qianling walk over, Grandma Lu looked at Meng Chuyuan enthusiastically. “Come, sit here.”

Meng Chuyuan walked over and sat between Grandma and Lu Qianling.

Grandma Lu was visibly happy. After Meng Chuyuan sat down, her gentle gaze landed on Meng Chuyuan.

Before she and Lu Qianling returned, Lu Jinsen had already told Grandma about the general situation, from the recording of the variety show to Lu Qianling’s accommodation outside the school, and the matter of her going to school today.

“Grandma, I bought you a gift.” Meng Chuyuan was the first to break the silence.

When Grandma Lu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She was a little curious. “What gift?”

“It’s with me.” Lu Qianling put all the gift boxes on the table and could not wait to give the gift boxes to her grandmother. “Grandma, I bought you a gift too.”

Grandma Lu took the red jewelry box and opened it happily. She saw that there was a jade bracelet inside. It was lustrous and smooth to the touch. It felt a little cold.

Grandma Lu took out the bracelet from the box and placed it on her wrist. Not only was the size suitable, but it also made her skin look fair.

“Grandma, there’s another one.” Lu Qianling handed another jewelry box to her grandma and added, “Little Sister Meng bought a pair. There’s also another cute rabbit.”

Seeing that her grandma could not free up her hands, Lu Qianling took the initiative to open the remaining two boxes for her and placed them on the coffee table.

“Child, why did you buy so much?” Grandma Lu raised her head and looked at Meng Chuyuan in surprise.

There was a faint smile in Meng Chuyuan’s eyes. She said casually, “I bought one for Mom too.”

She had never given her mother-in-law a gift before. At that time, she saw several bracelets that were quite good-looking, so Meng Chuyuan chose two of those bracelets with better quality.

Madam Lu had just returned from a call with her husband who was overseas. When she heard that she had a gift, she walked over with a smile.

“There’s mine too?” Madam Lu lowered her eyes and glanced at them. One of the two bracelets was darker, almost full of green, and the other was lighter.

Meng Chuyuan stood up and took out the light jade bracelet on the table. Then, she walked towards Madam Lu. “Mom, this bracelet suits you. It looks especially elegant on you.”

“I’ll put it on for you.” Meng Chuyuan took her left hand and slowly put the bracelet on her.

She held Madam Lu’s hand gently. She didn’t use much strength, and it didn’t hurt much when she put the bracelet on. She slipped it on her wrist immediately.

Madam Lu raised her hand and looked at the jade bracelet she had just put on.

Under the light, she rotated her wrist, her eyes filled with joy. “It looks good.”

Grandma Lu: “I want to wear mine too.”

“I’ll help you.” Meng Chuyuan returned to Grandma Lu’s side again. She held her slightly rough hand and carefully pushed the bracelet in.

After putting the bracelets on, Madam Lu even leaned over and pulled Grandma Lu in to take a photo. She placed their hands with the jade bracelet together and found a suitable angle to take a few photos.

Madam Lu chose a satisfactory photo and sent it to her husband: [The bracelet given by my eldest daughter-in-law is pretty, right? Our mother also has one.]

Not long after, Father Lu replied: [It looks good. If you like it, I’ll buy another one for you next time.]

Madam Lu: [Don’t buy anymore. I’ll wear this one.]

This bracelet was enough for her. Another one would seem a little redundant.

Madam Lu was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth. She even shared a set of photos with Lu Qingye. [Jade bracelets given by our Xiao Meng, your grandmother and I each have one. Isn’t it especially beautiful?]

Lu Qingye had just arrived at the company and was about to go for a morning meeting when he saw Madam Lu’s message. His gaze was fixed on the message and he could not help but frown.

Xiao Meng?

Were they… familiar with each other?

Perhaps seeing that he had not replied for a long time, Madam Lu suddenly remembered that she had sent a scarf to Lu Qingye today, so she said to him: [Oh right, I’ve sent you the scarf that Little Meng knitted. Remember to sign for it.]

Before Lu Qingye could digest the last message, the next one surprised him even more.

Meng Chuyuan knitted a scarf for him?

Why did she suddenly think of knitting a scarf for him?

Did her mother say something to her?

“Grandma, you haven’t seen my gift yet.”

Grandma Lu had put on the bracelet not long ago. She was busy admiring the bracelet on her wrist and had ignored the other things on the table.

Coincidentally, Uncle Yuan had already prepared the dishes and called them to the dining room for dinner.

Lu Qianling felt a little wronged when she saw her grandmother getting up and about to eat.

She tugged at her grandmother’s sleeve, then held the massager out to her. “I bought this.”

“Grandma, why are you like this? You’re wearing an expensive bracelet, and you don’t like my gift?”

Lu Qianling was dumbfounded when she saw her grandma putting the massager on the sofa without even unboxing it.

If it was in the past, even if Lu Qianling bought an inconspicuous small item for Grandma, she would still be praised by Grandma for a long time.

Compared to today’s situation, Lu Qianling was a little disappointed.

She had finally bought something expensive for her grandmother, but her grandmother’s reaction was too calm.

Seeing that she did not know her limits, Madam Lu could not help but say,

“Wretched girl, eating is more important, understand? It was not easy for Grandma to come all the way here. She must be tired from sitting in the car for so long, okay?”

When Lu Qianling heard this, she touched her nose in embarrassment. She reached out to hold her grandmother’s arm and held her as they walked.

“Grandma, let’s eat first. I bought a massager. You can look at it anytime.”

In front of her grandmother’s physical condition, these gifts were nothing. Lu Qianling naturally thought about her grandmother first.

Grandma Lu slowly walked to the dining room and sat at the head of the table to eat with everyone.

Meng Chuyuan happened to be sitting next to Grandma Lu. She was closer to her and took the initiative to pick up some food for Grandma.

There was no shortage of vegetables in Grandma Lu’s bowl because Madam Lu and Meng Chuyuan would put some into her bowl from time to time.

Halfway through the meal, Grandma Lu suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, “Has Ah Ye not returned ever since he last went away?”
