Wen Shu suddenly received such an expensive gift, and her first reaction was that she could not accept it and had to return it.
But suddenly she heard her mother say: "Shu Shu, take it."
She was stunned for a moment and looked at Mother Wen. Mother Wen rarely let her accept gifts from others because she always said that most gifts have meanings. Now she actually asked her to accept such an expensive gift.
She looked at Mother Wen, who only nodded again to show that she was serious. She hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse anymore and said her thanks seriously: "Thank you, Grandma Xi."
Mrs. Xi was very happy and said with a smile: "You're welcome, this bracelet will suit you well."
Wen Shu just smiled and didn't answer, but Wen's mother and Mrs. Xi chatted around her for a few more words, and grandma Xi took the initiative to let her go to eat.
Wen Shu did not refuse, smiled and said to the two of them, and went to the restaurant to eat.
While she was eating, she looked at the bracelet on her hand, but she was a little distracted.
After finishing the meal quickly, she sat down and chatted with the two of them for a while. Mother Wen asked her to go about her business. Wen Shu heard that Mother Wen wanted to talk to Grandma Xi, so she nodded and went upstairs. , went to his studio to prepare drawings.
She has the habit of accepting manuscripts online, and the manuscript she accepted this time was a pair of rings.
The Wen family had a studio specially prepared for her, with a place for painting on one side and a place for sketches on the other, with all materials available.
When she usually enters the studio, she is very focused and focused on her drawings, but today she couldn't help but lose focus.
She looked at the bracelet on her wrist stretched out in front of her. It was really beautiful.
Some people say that green jade bracelets are more suitable for the elderly, but this light green jade bracelet is transparent and clean. On her white wrist, there seems to be a faint layer of light, but it seems not to be there. It makes her wrist more slender and beautiful. beautiful.
It really suits her.
She originally wanted to take it off when she went upstairs, but she was afraid that she might get hit while painting, so she hesitated but didn't take it off.
Gifts usually have specific meanings, especially this kind of jade bracelet. Mother Wen even asked her to accept it. She couldn't help but think, what does Grandma Xi mean?
Could it be what she meant?
It was almost noon when Wen Shu came downstairs. Mr. Xi and Mrs. Xi had not left yet, but Grandpa Xi and Grandpa Wen had already come down from the study. When they saw Wen Shu, Grandpa Wen immediately waved and called people over.
Wen Shu also saw the two of them, walked over with a slight smile, and said in a gentle voice: "Grandpa, hello Grandpa Xi."
Mr. Xi immediately smiled: "We haven't seen you for so many years, but Girl Shu has not changed much. She seems to be more beautiful."
Wen Shu smiled and added: "Grandpa Xi's body bones still look very strong. It seems that he has not changed much from when I was a child."
Mr. Xi immediately smiled even more happily and said to Mr. Wen: "Girl Shu is more considerate than the boy, not like my eldest grandson. Mr. Wen, I really envy you."
Mr. Wen looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. He had praised his grandson just now, and now he was envious of him for having a granddaughter.
However, he also felt that Wen Shu was very considerate and more lovable than his grandson.
It was almost meal time, and Mr. Wen asked the two of them to eat. They refused, saying that there was something prepared at home, and it would be a waste if they didn't eat.
Mr. Wen didn't stop him anymore, and sent the person out of the door together with Wen's father, Wen's mother, and Wen Shu. They watched the two people leave in the car before they returned to the house.
Wen Shu thought that her grandfather would say something to her, or that Wen's mother would say something to her, but nothing happened.
Grandpa Wen only asked people to set the food and prepare to eat. Seeing Wen Shu looking at him, he smiled and rubbed Wen Shu's head, but didn't say much.
The meal was a bit silent.
Mr. Wen usually didn't talk much during meals. Mother Wen would sometimes say a few words to Father Wen, but she didn't say anything today. Wen Shu usually talked a lot, so she didn't say much today.
Only Father Wen felt that everyone was a little strange, but the atmosphere was not dull, but for some reason no one spoke today.
He came back at half noon, and did not meet Mr. Xi and Mr. Wen talking about things, nor did he meet Mr. Xi giving a Wen Shu jade bracelet. He thought that the two elders of the Xi family came to visit because his father did not come to the birthday party.
After finishing the meal quickly, Mr. Wen finally called Wen Shu to the study.
Wen Shu was a little prepared, but still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Perhaps her nervousness was too obvious. Mr. Wen smiled again, patted her head and said, "Don't be nervous."
Then he pointed to the chair opposite the chessboard and asked her to sit down. Mr. Wen also sat opposite her and said: "This is the white jade chessboard given by that boy Xiaolin. We, grandfather and grandson, have not played for a long time. Please accompany me to play." One plate.”
After hearing this, Wen Shu looked at the chessboard and nodded obediently. When she was very young, Mr. Wen began to teach her how to play chess. Not to mention how good she was at the game, she was able to play a few games with him.
But today she was obviously a little absent-minded, and before long, she had already lost.
Mr. Wen looked at the chessboard and then at Wen Shu. Wen Shu was sitting there upright, with his hair spread behind his head. He suddenly sighed: "Our baby has grown up."
Wen Shu felt a sore nose inexplicably. She tried to adjust her mood and deliberately said coquettishly: "Grandpa."
Mr. Wen looked at her and smiled again. Everyone said she looked like Mother Wen. In fact, he felt that her facial features really looked like his first wife. It was just that Grandma Wen left early and many people had never seen her. He would never forget it. .
He paused for a few seconds and then said: "You should know a little bit that Xi Lin, the boy from the Xi family, is interested in you." After a pause, he said again: "Grandpa wants you to marry him."
Wen Shu took a sandalwood box out of the study and returned to her room. She sat by the bed and gently touched the lines on the box, thinking about what Grandpa Wen said: "This is the betrothal letter given by the Xi family." Item, I haven’t opened it and looked at the contents inside, you can take it away, think about it carefully and give me an answer tomorrow.”
"Grandpa is not forcing you to marry anyone, but grandpa is getting older and can't protect you much longer. Grandpa wants to find someone who can protect you and pamper you for grandpa in the future. Xi Lin is a good candidate, no matter how he looks. , his family background, abilities, and character are outstanding in all aspects, and the most important thing is that he cares about you."
He looked at the bracelet on Wen Shu's hand and continued, "But the decision is still in your hands. If you think about it and the answer is no, then just return the token to grandpa tomorrow. There is no need to return the bracelet, grandpa." I will find one of equal value and send it back together with the token."
"Shu Shu, grandpa's original intention is just to let you live a good life."
…
Wen Shu hesitated for a moment, then opened the wooden box. Inside was a white jade pendant, half the size of a palm. It felt moist and crystal clear, as if it was emitting a faint halo.
There was a note underneath the jade pendant. She hesitated, took it out, and opened it.
There are only four words written on it: "My heart is happy with you."
