"Aunt Huo, it's been a long time! You're still so healthy!" Lan Haofan, who was being addressed, stepped forward to greet them after they finished speaking. When he first entered the room, he also felt that the old lady looked familiar, but since they hadn't seen each other for decades, he wasn't sure. It was his old man's good memory that allowed him to recognize her without even having to think.
“It’s been so long since we last met. I never imagined you’d be a grandfather now. We’ve all gotten old; time waits for no one. I never thought that, after all these years, we’d become a family.”
Hearing the old lady say this, they all sighed, never expecting that Ruan Ruan alone would allow them, a group of old guys, to reconnect.
"Yes, we have to thank Ruanruan for all of this. Well, that's wonderful. You're a lucky girl. Here, girl, this is a gift from your uncle and aunt. But this jade isn't worth much now, so just take it and play with it."
Lan Zhiyu took out a piece of jade from the inside of his pocket and placed it in Ruan Ruan's hand. He spoke of it casually, but anyone who knew anything about jade could tell that it was an antique and quite valuable.
Lan Haofan and Lan Chaolin, who were standing nearby, were also taken aback when they saw their grandfather take out the jade. It was a piece passed down from their ancestors. Although it was not as precious as the family heirloom jade, it was not much different. They did not expect their grandfather to give the jade to Ruanruan so easily. It seems that he values Ruanruan very much.
Of course, they supported the old man's decision. They had witnessed what Ruan Ruan had done over the past year; she was a woman who was just as capable as any man.
Holding the jade pendant, Ruan Ruan could clearly feel that it was a warm jade with a very lustrous color. Looking at her uncle and Lan Chaolin's surprised expressions, she knew that this jade must be quite precious to their Lan family.
"Uncle, this is too precious, I can't accept it." It's true that one shouldn't accept something for nothing. I hadn't even exchanged two words with him and I had already received such a valuable gift. Holding it, I felt it was too hot to handle, and I tried to put it back into my uncle's hands.
"Take it if it's given to you. You can't refuse a gift from an elder. Keep it safe." Lan Zhiyu looked at her grandmother with an air of "You dare to take it back? Let's see if you'll get angry." She glanced at her grandmother and, seeing her gesture for her to accept it, thanked her and put the jade pendant away.
She thought that since the system was so valuable, she would have it put into its space when it returned, so that she wouldn't lose it later.
