Chapter 260: Old Madam Must Have Said This on Purpose  

If it was someone else, this could still have been an act.

But Shen Rou knew him well; he didn’t care enough to do that.

Shen Rou couldn’t accept that he’d really fallen for another woman.

She’d never even entertained the thought that Mo Yesi would fall for another woman someday and even marry her.

“Good, good! Try your best at it!” Old Madam was genuinely happy to see how her precious grandson was looking lovingly at her shy and abashed granddaughter-in-law.

It seemed like there was hope for a great-grandchild next year.

“Mianmian, come with me, let me introduce them to you.” Mo Yesi had his arm around Qiao Mianmian as they turned around and walked towards Madam Mo. “This is my mom, and this is Shen Rou whom you’ve already met.”

Qiao Mianmian looked up at her with a blush.

She was a little stunned when she saw Madam Mo.

Was her intuition wrong, or did she sense disgust in Madam Mo’s eyes?

But the very next moment, it vanished.

Madam Mo smiled and appeared rather approachable too. “When Uncle Zhang mentioned that Ah Si brought Young Madam back, Mom and I had a shock. We thought that he was kidding. Who knew he was speaking the truth.

“You’re Mianmian, right? You seem like a likable child.”

“Aunt...” Qiao Mianmian immediately realized that she’d addressed her wrongly and quickly corrected herself. “Mom.”

The moment she said “Mom”, Madam Mo’s smile faded.

But it came back once again. “Although I have no idea what Mom gave you, she definitely did a better job than I did at this. Ah Si’s marriage happened so quickly and he didn’t tell us beforehand, so I didn’t have the time to prepare it.”

With that, she removed a bangle on her wrist and handed it to Qiao Mianmian. “I really love this bangle, but I’m giving it to you now. I hope you don’t despise it in any way.”

Shen Rou was shocked that Madam Mo actually took her own bangle off for Qiao Mianmian.

But she understood why immediately.

Madam Mo still didn’t like Qiao Mianmian.

She was only doing this to appease Old Madam and Mo Yesi.

But she still felt uncomfortable with what Madam Mo had done.

Although this was just for show, the bangle was still considered valuable.

The jade bangle had such a beautiful marbling pattern, it should be worth tens of millions of yuan at least.

Qiao Mianmian was shocked as well and quickly shook her head. “Aunt, since this is something you love, I cannot accept it.”

Qiao Mianmian wouldn’t dare accept something that Madam Mo openly said she loved.

This would be a terrible move.

“Mianmian, accept it,” Old Madam said. “This is Ah Si’s mom’s kind gesture. She’s only willing to give this to you because she likes you. If you don’t accept it, she might think you have something against her.”

Madam Mo was speechless.

She felt that Old Madam must have said this on purpose.

She actually wasn’t that willing to give this bangle away.

That was why she made it a point to say that she “really loved” that bangle. She wanted that silly girl to be too embarrassed to accept it.

But now that Old Madam put things this way, how could she reject it?

As she guessed, Madam Mo saw that Qiao Mianmian hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out to receive it.
