The old lady thanked Zhou Xiaoli profusely. In the end, she even took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Zhou Xiaoli.
Zhou Xiaoli refused repeatedly. "Old Madam, this is too expensive."
However, the old lady did not allow Zhou Xiaoli to refuse. She put the bracelet on Zhou Xiaoli and said, "Since you're Yan'er's god-sister, you're also my god-granddaughter. Take this bracelet as a welcome gift for you."
Since the old lady had already said so, if Zhou Xiaoli continued to refuse, it would be an insult to the old lady. Hence, she smiled and accepted it generously.
After a round of introductions, the old lady liked Zhou Xiaoli even more.
She asked about her grandson's condition.
"Old Madam, your grandson's condition has dragged on for too long. The situation is a little complicated. I can only do my best."
The old lady was somewhat disappointed.
