The next morning, Miss Li personally saw them off, and prepared water and pastries for them to eat and drink on their journey.
Grandma Gu took a piece of jade from her person and handed it to Miss Li.
Miss Li looked at Grandma Gu with a puzzled expression.
Grandma Gu said, "This is something Xin Xin's mother asked me to do. I heard from others that you take good care of your aunt, and I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. So, you can keep this jade pendant. In the future, if you have any difficulties that you can't handle, you can take this jade pendant to Xin Xin's mother."
Miss Li was taken aback, then accepted the gift and bowed deeply to Grandma Gu: "Thank you, Madam Gu, thank you, Second Madam Gu, I will remember this."
Grandma Gu sighed and then got into the carriage.
Miss Li clutched the jade pendant tightly in her hand as she watched the carriage depart. For a moment, she felt a pang of resentment. If her aunt's biological parents hadn't come looking for her, if her aunt had truly been a member of the Luo family instead of the Jiang family, would Mu Yan have remained unchanged and been able to form a marriage alliance with the Gu family?
After a moment, Miss Li shook her head. It was all in the past. The Jiang family and Mu Yan were no longer around. Madam Gu asked Old Madam Gu for the jade pendant not because of the relationship between Mu Yan and Miss Gu, but because of the relationship between Madam Gu and her aunt.
The Gu family members are all sentimental, but the Li family is not fortunate enough to have a deeper relationship with them.
Once the carriage was out of sight, Miss Li turned and went back to the restaurant. She returned to her office and put the jade pendant in a box to store it away.
If we can avoid using it, we should. Let's leave Auntie with a pure and simple feeling in this world!
...
On the carriage, Gu Xin asked about the jade pendant; she had no idea her mother had given her this instruction.
Grandma Gu said, "Your mother didn't give this instruction. As an old woman, I think this girl has had a tough time, so let's support her! She was able to protect the family business that belongs to her branch of the Li family, which is surrounded by wolves. Just that alone makes people look up to her. If she really comes to our door with the jade pendant in the future, we'll help her. It will be a way to settle a good deed."
Grandpa Gu held Grandma Gu's hand and said, "Lanlan is still so kind! This Miss Li must be a sensible and understanding person; she's sure to have a great future!"
Gu Xin had gotten used to the old couple's constant displays of affection, and Cheng Huaijin, who had followed her all the way from Kuncheng to Qingzhou, had also gotten used to it.
Grandma Gu sighed, "Back then, after your great-grandfather passed away, your grandfather was in poor health. At that time, your eldest uncle and your father were still young, and there were quite a few blind men in the village who wanted to bully me. I still had this superhuman strength to protect me. It was truly remarkable that the eldest daughter of the Li family, a weak woman, could do so."
Gu Xin nodded: "Yes, I think so too."
Grandpa Gu smiled and said, "No pain, no gain. Miss Li will definitely have a better future."
Gu Xin chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's what I think too. Miss Li will definitely find a satisfactory husband in the future, and then have several sons, one of whom will take her surname and inherit their family business. Miss Li will definitely get what she wants."
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu both smiled.
Gu Xin herself probably doesn't know that her blessing is the most effective. With her saying this, Miss Li won't have a bad life. Who among those who have been blessed by Gu Xin has ended up having a bad life?
Of course, her blessing was somewhat ineffective when she encountered Agil; that depended entirely on personal luck and had nothing to do with her blessing.
