Chapter 72: She gained genuine affection from her parents.

Xia Yuhuan was surprised to hear this and quickly said, "No need, Mom. I'm already very happy with the watch Dad gave me. I don't need any more."

She is a content person and not greedy.

Having just received such an expensive watch from Chi Shaokang, she felt really embarrassed to accept Zhang Xianya's gift.

Zhang Xianya pretended to be angry and said, "What, you accepted your dad's watch, so you're complaining that the gift I gave you isn't good enough and you don't want it anymore?"

"Mom, I didn't mean that," Xia Yuhuan said helplessly.

Zhang Xianya was just teasing her and wasn't really angry. She took her hand and sat her down on the sofa, smiling as she said, "But the gift your dad gave is indeed more suitable for the present day. At least you can take it out openly."

"These gifts from Mom are not suitable to be taken out for the time being, otherwise it will cause some trouble if someone sees them."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan automatically thought of jewelry.

After all, at this time of year, the emphasis is on dedication, frugality, and hard work, while anything related to enjoyment and extravagance will be criticized.

For women, jewelry is the most important item.

Zhang Xianya handed her a box. "This was given to me by my mother, your maternal grandmother, when I got married. I don't have a daughter, so I planned that this would be passed down to my daughter-in-law after Yanzhou got married."

Xia Yuhuan looked at the box that was handed to her; inside was a set of jewelry.

There are necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets.

The bracelet was made of jade. Although Xia Yuhuan didn't know much about jade, she could tell that it was made from very fine jade.

Everything else is made of gold, the designs are beautiful, and it's been well preserved and maintained.

These things are indeed extremely conspicuous and eye-catching in this era.

No wonder Zhang Xianya said these things are not suitable to be brought out for the time being.

Before Xia Yuhuan could refuse, Zhang Xianya said, "This was originally meant to be passed down to our daughter-in-law, but I didn't dare give it to you when you first married into the family, for fear that you might not accept it properly and cause trouble."

"After spending time with you, Mom knows you're a mature, sensible, and thoughtful child. I feel at ease entrusting this to you."

"If you truly consider me your mother and this place your home, then don't refuse."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan tightened her grip on the box.

In the end, she didn't say anything more polite, but grabbed the box and nodded seriously in agreement.

"Thank you, Mom. I'll accept this. Don't worry, I'll keep it safe and won't let anyone find out."

Zhang Xianya and Chi Shaokang treated her like their own daughter, and she naturally reciprocated by treating them like her own parents.

She has the space; there's no one better at hiding things than her!

"Okay. Oh, right, this is for you." Zhang Xianya said, handing Xia Yuhuan another key.

Xia Yuhuan was somewhat puzzled: "Where is this key from?"

“You had an accident this time, and your bicycle was damaged and sold for scrap, right? This is the one I just bought for you. It will be convenient for you to go out when you're better,” Zhang Xianya said.

Both she and Chi Shaokang were high-ranking officials and had drivers and cars. When they needed to go to work or go on business trips, they were picked up and dropped off by drivers and didn't need bicycles.

She had to ask a colleague at work for the bicycle ticket.

Xia Yuhuan was surprised that Zhang Xianya had not only given her so much jewelry, but also bought her a bicycle.

The jewelry and bicycle given by Zhang Xianya, and the watch given by Chi Shaokang, were all extremely valuable items in that era.

For an ordinary family to acquire these items, it would take an immense amount of effort and many years.

But they gave it to her without hesitation, which shows that they really liked her and treated her like their own child.

For a moment, the emotion in my heart was beyond words.

"Why are your eyes red, child?" Zhang Xianya asked, raising her hand to press down on the corner of her eye.

"On such a wonderful day, you mustn't cry, hold it in."

Xia Yuhuan nodded vigorously upon hearing this and smiled at her: "Okay, I'll listen to Mom and not cry."

With such wonderful parents, her heart, which had been devoid of parental love, was warmed. Xia Yuhuan felt that her transmigration into the book was absolutely perfect.

"By the way, Xiao Huan, you've broken off all ties with Xia Jianyong now, and you have nothing to do with him anymore. Would you like to bring your grandfather over to stay for a while?" Chi Shaokang suddenly asked.

“Although you need to stay home to recover, as long as we don’t tell, your grandfather won’t know. We can invite him to stay for a while so you can spend some quality time with him.”

Xia Yuhuan's face lit up with joy, but then she shook her head helplessly: "No, we can't bring Grandpa here at this time."

Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya fell silent upon hearing this, both surprised by Xia Yuhuan's rejection.

Xia Yuhuan said helplessly, "Dad, you forgot, I learned my medical skills from Grandpa. If my injury hasn't healed, Grandpa can tell at a glance. I can't hide it from him. I don't want him to worry."

Chi Shaokang smiled wryly after hearing this: "I was too inconsiderate. Since that's the case, then forget it. We'll talk about it again when you've recovered. Anyway, you can bring the old man over for a short stay anytime you want."

"I'm young and my body recovers quickly. I'll be fully recovered in a few more days, and then I'll go to the countryside to pick up Grandpa," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.

Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya nodded in agreement at the same time.

The family of three chatted and ate, and time flew by.

After dinner, Xia Yuhuan went upstairs, laid out the gifts she had received on the bed, and gossiped with Chi Yanzhou.

"My parents are absolutely amazing. To celebrate my escape from my scumbag father Xia Jianyong, they not only gave me extra meals, but also prepared gifts for me. There was a watch, a bicycle, and some really pretty jewelry."

"Oh, and they also suggested that I bring my grandfather over for a short stay, but I declined."

“My injury hasn’t fully healed yet. When Grandpa comes, he’ll find out, and he’ll definitely be sad. I can’t bear to see him like that.”

"Xia Jianyong tried to break the contract today. Humph, he's shameless."

...

Xia Yuhuan chattered away, sharing the day's events with Chi Yanzhou. Although Chi Yanzhou lay motionless on the bed, he responded to every word in his heart.

"Yes, that's something to be happy about. We should have a big celebration. It's only right that I give you a gift. Just accept it."

"Then we'll bring Grandpa over for a short stay after he recovers from his injury."

"No, let's wait until I'm better before bringing Grandpa over. Otherwise, Grandpa will worry about you."

“If Xia Jianyong dares to break the contract, you should ask your father for help. Your father is not so easily fooled.”

The couple talked about their own things, each on their own level, yet neither found it strange.

After Xia Yuhuan finished chatting with Chi Yanzhou about the day's events as usual, she went to wash up.

After washing up, Xia Yuhuan went to bed.

She hadn't been lying there for two minutes when she suddenly remembered something. She turned over and looked at Chi Yanzhou: "Oh right, there's something else I wanted to tell you. I just said I forgot."
