Jian Qing was quietly listening with the necklace on.
Rhee glanced at Jian Qing, continuing to speak, "After my father passed away five years ago, Jingwu would always take off this necklace around the anniversary of his death. This necklace holds great significance for him. Now that he has given it to you, it signifies that he has chosen you for life."
Listening, Jian Qing felt waves ripple through her heart. Suddenly, the necklace around her neck felt heavy.
"Little Qingqing, it seems we're fated to become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." Rhee's mood lightened up and she wrapped her arm around Jian Qing's shoulder.
Jian Qing's lips turned up into a faint smile, neither agreeing nor denying.
"If Jingwu ever bullies you in the future, just come to me, I will take care of him," Rhee patted her chest confidently.
Though she knew she wouldn't be able to reign in her icy son, she still had to maintain her image as a mother-in-law.
