Qin Jing was the first to move. She sprang forward and sat beside the old woman, then proceeded to stroke the latter's back.
"Grandma Xu, it's not what you think. Xu Xuan is only a waitress at that club, but she has already resigned. She will be starting a new job at a reputable restaurant tomorrow. Don't be mad at her, okay? She didn't do anything bad."

"That man took her bracelet," Yao Tang interrupted in a soft and calm voice.
Grandma Xu froze, her angry expression slowly morphing into one of misery. "Xu Xuan, that bracelet…"
She tried getting out of the covers as she spoke, her arms already reaching for her granddaughter.
Xu Xuan immediately reassured her. "It's all right, Grandma. I managed to retrieve the bracelet. Just settle down and don't mind it anymore, okay? Your health is more important than anything."
