The girl is pretty and seems intelligent, but how come her cooking is so... poor?
Gu Jueye had just entered the kitchen when he heard the chef's words.
My heart skipped a beat. My gaze fell on the frying pan. The sugar on the fried egg was unevenly sprinkled, and the egg was a little burnt...
I went over and turned off the stove.
"Seventh Master, Miss Bai's fried eggs seem a bit too dark in color. Shall I make a new one?"
Bai Qianmo rolled up her sleeves and said seriously, "I'll do it."
Gu Jueye coughed lightly and gently took Bai Qianmo's hand.
"We won't do it today; we have things to do after we finish eating."
Bai Qianmo frowned and looked at Gu Jueye. "Is something wrong?"
"Alright then, I've learned how to make this dish. I'll make it for Ji Cong'an to try next time!"
Gu Jueye smiled, pursing his lips. The little girl was shrewd; she didn't want him to try it.
"Okay, let him try it."
Madam Gu invited them to go out for dinner at the restaurant.
After washing their hands in the kitchen, Bai Qianmo and Gu Jueye walked to the dining room together.
A sumptuous dinner was laid out on the table.
Madam Gu had inquired about Bai Qianmo's tastes from Gu Jueye, and today's dishes were all prepared according to Bai Qianmo's preferences.
"Come on, have a bowl of white fungus and red date soup to warm yourself up first."
"Thank you, Grandma Gu."
After dinner, Old Madam Gu mysteriously called Bai Qianmo into her room.
"Qianmo, I have something to show you."
Bai Qianmo obediently followed beside Old Madam Gu, watching her take out a palm-sized wooden box from an old cabinet.
The box is dark brown and has a rustic feel. It is carved with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns. The colors have faded a bit, but you can still see that the colors of the dragon and phoenix are very exquisite and vibrant.
"Come, sit here." Old Madam Gu sat on a mahogany couch and patted the empty seat next to her.
Bai Qianmo sat down next to Old Madam Gu.
In front of Bai Qianmo, Madam Gu opened the lock on the box, revealing a translucent white jade bracelet inside.
The bracelet is clearly made of high-quality jade, its texture as clear as water and incredibly translucent.
“This bracelet was given to me by my mother-in-law after I entered the family. I loved it very much when I was young and wore it for decades. Now that I’m older, I’ve put it away.”
As soon as Madam Gu finished speaking, she reached out and affectionately took Bai Qianmo's hand.
"Grandma Gu, this is too expensive, I can't..."
Madam Gu smiled and glanced at Bai Qianmo: "A beautiful jade is given to a beautiful woman. You will definitely look good wearing it. Seeing you now reminds me of my own clear-headedness when I first married into the Gu family. Giving it to you doesn't have any deep meaning. Just consider it a continuation."
Bai Qianmo looked at the bracelet on her wrist. She knew a little about jade, and such a high-quality bracelet was extremely rare, especially since it was an heirloom from the Gu family elders. Its value could no longer be measured in money.
"Grandma Gu, this bracelet is really too expensive, I can't afford it."
Bai Qianmo wanted to take off the bracelet, but Old Madam Gu reached out and grabbed her hand, stopping her.
"Believe me, this bracelet is meant for you."
Bai Qianmo looked at Old Madam Gu with some confusion, not understanding the meaning behind her words for a moment.
The old lady smiled and said, "I haven't checked the exact age of this bracelet, but it is true that it is quite spiritual. It recognizes its own owner. Only when the person it recognizes wears this bracelet will the color be as clear as water. But if the person it doesn't like wears it, dark green impurities will gradually appear in the bracelet."
"That's amazing?"
"This story was told to me by Lao Qi's great-grandmother when I entered the family. At first, I thought it was just a joke. Back then, when A Ye's mother had just married into the Gu family, I thought about passing this bracelet on to her. But after she wore the bracelet for only a day, she rushed over to tell me that the bracelet had changed color."
Bai Qianmo looked surprised, while Old Madam Gu smiled.
"When I saw the bracelet, I noticed that its originally clear and bright color was now covered with many dark green impurities. That's when I suddenly remembered what my mother-in-law had told me."
"Grandma Gu, now that the bracelet is back in your hands, did it quickly return to its original color on its own?"
“That’s right. I had only worn it for a short time when the color returned to normal. It’s clear that this bracelet doesn’t really like Lao Qi’s mother.”
Bai Qianmo appeared calm on the surface, but she couldn't help but think to herself.
This bracelet has a really good eye.
Grandma Gu is a wise and insightful person, while Ms. Qin Lin is narrow-minded and irritable. If jade has a certain spirituality, it must want to absorb positive energy.
"Why are you so sure this bracelet won't turn black if I wear it?"
Since the blemishes only appeared on Qin Lin's bracelet the next day, her wearing it now doesn't prove anything.
Madam Gu looked at Bai Qianmo with a smile, her calm gaze filled with affection.
“The jade bracelet has gone through thousands of years of changes, and its knowledge is more far-reaching than ours. I believe you believe even more in the principle that a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on.”
After chatting with the two elderly people for a while, Gu Jueye's phone rang.
After answering the phone, Gu Jueye left in a hurry.
So the two of them left the Gu family together.
On the bus
Kuching, who was in the passenger seat, received a phone call.
"You brought the person? Good, we're on our way."
Bai Qianmo looked out the car window and realized that this wasn't the way home. Connecting this to Gu Jin's conversation on the phone, she turned her head to look at the man beside her.
Where are we going?
