Bab 17: Chapter 17 My Daughter-in-law (2)

Grandma Xing was skilled at easing the atmosphere.

Turning her head with a smile, she gazed at Lian Qiao and slipped the emerald green jade bracelet from her wrist onto hers, beaming with affection, "Look how tender this little hand is; my granddaughter-in-law is truly beautiful! Not bad, not bad, it's rare for my dear grandson to fancy a girl! That's good! That's good!"

Glancing at the jade bracelet, Lian Qiao's eyelids twitched; it was obviously a valuable item.

She grew timid, "Grandma, this is too precious, I can't accept it."

"No nonsense, if Grandma tells you to keep it, then keep it," Xing Liehuo seemed to lose patience with her quibbling.

Just as she shot him a glance, she saw the old master's life secretary, who wore black-rimmed glasses, come over, smiling respectfully, "Colonel, the old master requests your presence."

With a sweep of his dark eyes, Xing Liehuo turned his head with a cold glare and stood up, his brief command delivered in his usual authoritative tone.
