The Old Madam seemed to fear that she would neglect their guest; she began to inventory the items in her jewelry box.
She even asked Gu's mother, "Are these acceptable? Do you think Little Youbei will like them?"
Gu's mother said, "As long as they're gifts from you, she will surely like all of them."
"I always feel these things are a bit outdated," the Old Madam said, taking out a pair of white jade earrings with a hint of distaste, "Young people nowadays probably don't like this sort of thing."
Butler Aye, standing nearby, said, "It's the thought that counts. Even if you give her something she likes, I reckon she wouldn't wear it."
"This won't do, this won't do," the Old Madam closed the jewelry box, "Aye, go and bring me the document bag from the second drawer of my bedside table."
"You mean from the Linglong Building?"
"Yes, that's the one, bring it here."
