Chapter 10 Give this necklace to Shanshan
After the words fell, Ye Jinmo was obviously stunned for a moment.
Mother Zhong pursed her lips without saying anything. She had been chatting happily with her daughter and she clearly felt that she had become closer to her.
The conversation was suddenly interrupted and both of them looked at Meng Shanshan.
Meng Shanshan was not panicked, and continued with a smile: "Sister, you don't know, the necklace that grandpa gave you is a unique treasure in the world. Many people in our family have never seen it. Grandpa gave it to you, and my aunt and I want to see it..."
Ye Jinmo didn't say anything. She looked down at her hand that was held by Zhong's mother, and the warmth from her palm spread throughout her body.
But she stared intently at the biological mother in front of her, trying to read something from her kind face.
In just one minute, Ye Jinmo's mind was like a kaleidoscope of memories as she recalled her days at the Ye family.
Perhaps she had never felt the warmth of family love. At this moment, her first reaction was to suspect that the reason why Mother Zhong came to see her tonight was because of the necklace...
Mother Zhong noticed her daughter's emotions, patted her hands soothingly, and said softly: "If Momo doesn't want to take it, forget it."
Then, she turned around and gently reproached, "Shanshan, Jinmo just came in, you don't care if she's tired or not, you just open your mouth and mention the necklace, what do you want her to think?"
It is said to be a blame, but in fact it is a reminder.
Meng Shanshan joked in annoyance: "Look at my memory. Sister, have you not had dinner yet? What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it..."
"I'm not hungry," Ye Jinmo said, and stood up, "I'll go get the necklace."
Because of the unpleasant experience in the mall, she really couldn't like Meng Shanshan.
I don't want to hear her say another word at this moment.
But Zhong's mother was there too, and she couldn't refuse her.
She didn't say anything else, went to the cloakroom, took out the jewelry box and put it on the table.
The dark blue gift box matched with the red bleeding gem looks seductive under the light.
"It's so beautiful!" Meng Shanshan exclaimed sincerely, gently touching the gem, her eyes seemed to be fixed.
"Sister, you are so lucky. You were able to please Grandpa on the first day you came back. Unlike me, I am not good at talking. I have been in the Zhong family for so many years, but I still haven't been able to get Grandpa's affirmation."
These words made Ye Jinmo feel a little uncomfortable.
It seemed as if she had used sweet words to win the old man's favor.
As expected, when Zhong's mother heard this, she felt heartbroken and hurried to comfort her.
"What are you talking about, Shanshan? Grandpa likes you very much."
Ye Jinmo felt the warmth in her palm disappear. She looked up at the two people hugging each other like mother and daughter, and felt depressed.
At this moment, there was a knock on the open door, followed by a male voice.
"This jewelry is so beautiful, it suits Shanshan!"
Zhong Beichi walked in and looked straight at the jewelry.
Then, he turned his head to glance at Ye Jinmo and said in a commanding tone: "Give this necklace to Shanshan!"
When this sentence was spoken, you could hear a pin drop in the room.
Meng Shanshan's face tightened, and she pretended to blame: "Second brother, what are you talking about? This is a reward from grandpa for my sister."
Turning her head, she soothed him, "Don't mind it, sister. My second brother probably saw that I liked this thing, so he just said it casually. When I was a child, he always gave me whatever I liked. He was used to it. Don't be angry. I don't mean to want the necklace."
Zhong's mother was also not satisfied with her son's statement: "Momo is also your sister!"
Zhong Beichi curled his lips, glanced at Ye Jinmo vaguely, and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "He has been taken back, but he still snatched things from Shanshan. He is really ignorant..."
These words fell clearly into Ye Jinmo's ears.
It turned out that she was the ignorant one who snatched things from Meng Shanshan.
She never liked arguing with others, but now that things had come to this, she couldn't afford to give in again.
She raised her eyebrows and met his eyes, without any fear: "In other words, if I don't give her something she likes, then I'm stealing it?"
"Isn't it?" Zhong Beichi said as a matter of course.
Mother Zhong was a little anxious. She didn't want the children to be unhappy.
"Momo, don't listen to your second brother. Shanshan doesn't want this necklace!"
"Yes." Meng Shanshan quickly replied, "I just want to appreciate it and try it on if possible, that's all."
Mother Zhong felt bad when she heard the girl she had raised for sixteen years give in.
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh. She didn't want Ye Jinmo to think that she was biased, nor did she want Meng Shanshan to feel wronged.
Obviously, Zhong Beichi also heard Meng Shanshan's intention to give in, and he was even more angry. He approached Ye Jinmo with a tall figure and said in an imperative tone: "You are so much older than Shanshan, so what's wrong with giving her a necklace?"
This made her laugh out of anger. She and Meng Shanshan were obviously the same age, she was only one month older.
She glanced at the two people next to her who looked more like mother and daughter, and still had hope for Zhong's mother.
"Do you also want me to give this necklace to her?"
"I... No, it's not Momo..."
She lowered her eyes, and Mother Zhong held Meng Shanshan's hand tightly.
Noticing her gaze, Zhong's mother let go, took a few steps forward, patted her shoulder, and sighed, "This necklace is yours, it's yours. Shanshan just liked it and wanted to try it on."
"Mom, Shanshan just likes a necklace. It's only natural for her to give it to Shanshan. She just came back, so she should know a few things..."
"You can also want a necklace," Ye Jinmo interrupted them and looked directly at Meng Shanshan, "Use all her jewelry in exchange!"
This one sentence made the faces of the three people present change.
Although this ruby is priceless, Meng Shanshan has owned quite a few jewels since she was a child, many of which are rare treasures.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhong Beichi was furious and raised his hand to push her.
Unexpectedly, his hand was intercepted halfway.
"Why, if she wants something from me, she can just say she likes me, but if I want something from her, that's just nonsense?"
Before he could refute, a serious male voice came from the door: "Momo is right!"
When they looked over, they saw Zhong Shaoqing standing at the door.
He walked in, protecting Ye Jinmo behind him, glanced at the three of them, his face tense and full of oppression.
"This is a gift from Grandpa to Momo. Momo doesn't want to give it, which is reasonable. When did our child learn to get something for nothing?"
These words were extremely unpleasant to hear. Meng Shanshan blushed immediately, and even Zhong's mother was embarrassed.
How could he not be angry when three so-called close relatives teamed up to bully his delicate and adorable baby sister?
He paused, his voice softened, and said to Zhong's mother: "Momo just came back and didn't have any jewelry, so Grandpa gave it to Momo. You are Momo's biological mother, but you don't know how to give Momo something, but instead you stare at the jewelry. She is your biological daughter, what does Momo think of you doing this?"
Ye Jinmo looked at the figure so close to her, her eyes warmed. She tugged at her brother's sleeve, but he held her hand instead. The rough and warm touch warmed her heart.
