Jiang Qingwan ordered a yogurt and fruit salad from a restaurant near her company, pretending that she had just returned from work and was heading straight to her old house.
"We've arrived." The ride-hailing driver parked the car.
Jiang Qingwan got out of the car and went straight home. Her family members had already gathered there, except for Jiang Si.
I heard she's on a date with someone today, probably her future partner.
"Jiang Qingwan, can you stop acting like a busy celebrity all the time? You're never home, and your family has to call you in advance to eat." Jiang Qingwan's mother, Fang Xin, berated her without even considering why her daughter had a home but didn't come back.
Jiang Qingwan opened the packaged fruit salad and happily started eating, ignoring everything else and just going through the motions.
"You know how busy we are at our company. Come on, try these cherries. This fruit shop is right downstairs from my office. I've bought quite a few from them, and they taste really good."
Fang Xin was speechless for a moment. Seeing that Jiang Qingwan had changed the subject, she stopped criticizing her.
I just feel that Jiang Qingwan is still not as good as Jiang Si. She can praise a yogurt fruit salad so much. She is indeed a bit ignorant.
“We have better fruit at home, it’s specially delivered, and we even have a chef. Why do you insist on buying it downstairs from your office? Fine, fine, I won’t eat it. Dinner is coming up later.”
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Chaoyue walked to the stairwell in the living room.
Although the old man's hair was gray, he looked radiant and refined with his gold reading glasses on. Unlike most elderly people who are out of shape and walk with difficulty, he didn't need a cane at all.
If there's anyone in this family that Jiang Qingwan finds decent, it's Grandpa Jiang Chaoyue.
Grandpa is genuinely trying to accept Jiang Qingwan and change his attitude towards the difference between the real and fake heiress. It's heartbreaking to see her living alone for so many years; the saying "grandparents love their grandchildren more" is certainly true.
"Qingwan, you're here! Come upstairs with me," Jiang Chaoyue waved and said warmly.
Jiang Qingwan put down her fork and fruit, smiled, and replied, "Coming, coming." Then she got up and strode upstairs.
Jiang Chaoyue pulled Jiang Qingwan into the study, opened a box with a combination lock, took out a jade bracelet, and said...
"This is a New Year's gift I prepared in advance for you. I'm flying to Nanshi in a couple of days to spend the winter. I won't be staying here any longer."
This jade bracelet is not just a simple New Year's gift; it is a jade bracelet passed down in the Jiang family and is usually given as part of a daughter's dowry when she gets married.
The reason for releasing the money ahead of schedule is probably because we just found our long-lost granddaughter this year, and we're using the money as a small compensation.
Jiang Qingwan exclaimed, "Wow! This jade bracelet is so beautiful! Thank you, Grandpa!!"
Jiang Qingwan took the jade bracelet with both hands, put her five fingers together, and put it directly on her wrist, admiring it under the light.
The jade bracelet was lustrous and smooth, without a single flaw. Placed in a black velvet box, the black and white created an even stronger contrast.
The visual impression is one of the sanctity of celestial beings.
Jiang Chaoyue said, "Qingwan, I can still tell that you've really been wronged. Your parents should be able to understand by now. They're adults, and I feel bad disciplining them too much. I can only say that I feel a little sorry for you."
"You don't need to come back for New Year's Day. And please don't work overtime during the Spring Festival. Remember to let's all get together."
Jiang Qingwan nodded: "Haha, Grandpa, don't worry, how could I not come to spend the Spring Festival with you? I'll make sure you come!"
"For the boss, nothing is more important than Grandpa during the New Year! He doesn't deserve to work at all~ Besides, he also wants your lucky money and big red envelopes."
"This jade bracelet is really beautiful." Jiang Qingwan looked at it again and admired it very much.
She continued to praise her grandfather, saying, "Grandpa is so kind. I love this New Year's gift so much! With Grandpa here, how could I feel wronged?"
"They're probably just having trouble adjusting right now, they'll get better eventually. I've lived alone for so long, I'm pretty resilient."
Jiang Qingwan said nice things, but that wasn't what she really thought.
She truly loved everything except the jade bracelet.
Because she had seen this jade bracelet in her previous life.
This jade bracelet wouldn't have originally belonged to her; it's just that she didn't come in her previous life.
Jiang Si happened to see Jiang Chaoyue take the bracelet and overheard him telling his father that he was going to Jiang Qingwan's rented apartment before boarding the plane to give her the jade bracelet.
Jiang Si immediately started to whine, "I like this jade bracelet~ Give it to me, give it to me! She's not coming here to eat today, which means these two bracelets aren't meant to be; they should be mine!"
Jiang Si knew the value of the jade bracelet, so she was determined to keep it.
She continued, "Look at Qingwan, she's so impolite. What kind of elder goes to someone's door to give a gift? Let's buy her a complete set of limited-edition luxury jewelry another day. Young people like that, not to mention a good outfit to match."
"I'll pick out the prettiest jade bracelet from my collection as a bonus for her. This jade bracelet is so beautiful, I'll give it to her as my gift this time."
After much pleading and cajoling with her elders, Jiang Si finally managed to get the jade bracelet.
And this jade bracelet lived up to its reputation as a family heirloom, because it is actually a spatial jade bracelet.
In the apocalypse, Jiang Si relied on her disguise as a multi-elemental special ability user to shine in front of everyone. Coupled with her charming and witty remarks, she was praised by many as the fairy Si Si.
Jiang Si's special ability is a rare poison-based ability. Initially, it can only produce toxins through contact, but later it can be directly released from a distance or attached to other objects.
If it weren't for someone of the same poison-type ability user, and someone of a higher level than Jiang Si, who could detect Jiang Si's poison, then Jiang Si could truly be said to kill without leaving a trace.
