Ning Yaohua’s gift was clearly a case of insincere splurging. On the other hand, Ning Xueluo’s present exuded effort in preparation.
She knew that he loved jade and was also a staunch Buddhist, so she chose to give him a jade beaded bracelet.
As Ning Zhiyuan assessed the bracelet, Ning Xueluo stood in front of him quietly.
Despite the unease in her eyes, the elder loved her very much.
Ning Xueluo had been staying with him ever since she was a child and even after it was found out that she was not his actual grandchild, he still treated her just like one of his own. He just did not like his eldest son's and daughter-in-law’s attitude.
Ning Zhiyuan sighed and gently said, "Thank you for your gift, I really like it!"
Ning Xueluo looked relieved to hear her grandfather’s praise. Her eyes had reddened slightly and she excitedly said, "I’m glad that you like it, Grandfather!"
