The chauffeur said as he drove, “What I mean is that there are too many people who want to get close to the Walton residence and the war god. There are even countless people who fantasize and want to acknowledge them as relatives. None of them succeeded. I’m worried about Miss Ray ”
The woman interrupted the chauffeur. “Alright, stop talking. I’ve said it before. Our Ray is different from others.” The woman was very stubborn and firmly believed that Ray was different. It was because they were not related to others that they did not succeed. Ray would definitely succeed because she was Alex’s niece and was related by blood. Now that Alex’s daughter was dead, her daughter was the same age as Amelia and was very cute. When a person lost their loved ones and was at their most desolate, they needed comfort. Alex was very difficult to interact with, but the harder someone was to interact with, the stronger the bond will be when someone does manage to walk into their heart. At that time, her Ray’s status would be indestructible!
The chauffeur did not say anything else.
After a long silence, the woman looked out of the window and sneered. “The worst outcome is still better than now. Us mother and daughter are going to be bullied to death. As a stepmother, I was bullied by the daughter of the first wife. I even had to kneel down and apologize to her. I don’t want Ray to live like me.”
When Ray heard this, she couldn’t help but clench her fists. She had to get Eldest Uncle. Even if Cousin Mia came back, she must share half of Eldest Uncle with her! Cousin Mia had so many people doting on her, and she only had Eldest Uncle! Just now, she passed by Eldest Uncle’s car and saw a cute pink safety seat in his cool car. She wanted to sit on that seat and let Eldest Uncle only dote on her in the future!
The woman suddenly said, “Change directions. Let’s go to the Walton residence to visit Old Madam Walton.” She heard that Mrs. Walton fell sick. Of course, she didn’t want Ray to acknowledge Mrs. Walton as her grandmother. It was just that as Alex’s niece, Ray had to visit her.
Ray went to the Walton residence with her mother, but because they were visiting at the last minute, they couldn’t go empty-handed. Hence, they went to the nearby mall and prepared to buy a gift.
Ray asked obediently, “Mom, what gift does Grandma Walton like?”
Ray’s mother thought for a moment. “The Walton residence doesn’t lack anything. Previously, I saw the dance video that Mrs. Walton posted on the short video platform. She was wearing an emerald bracelet ” If one didn’t know what someone liked, they should look at what they wore, the accessories they chose. Then, they would buy gifts according to such observations. Generally, there wouldn’t be any mistakes. For example, if Mrs. Walton was wearing an emerald bracelet, she would give her another emerald bracelet. The other party would most likely like it. Even if she didn’t like it, she wouldn’t touch the taboo and offend her.
As she spoke, Ray’s mother asked, “Do you understand?”
Ray seemed to understand.
Ray’s mother gave an example. “For example, you can observe what your eldest uncle likes and we can give it to him. This is called catering to his taste.”
Ray thought for a moment and said, “Eldest Uncle likes SUVs. Black SUVs. Very tall and cool SUVs.”
Ray’s mother choked. She also knew that SUV. It was not cheap. A car cost more than a million yuan, not to mention that the car had been modified She could not afford it.
The two of them went to the mall to choose jade. Naturally, they couldn’t choose something too cheap to give Mrs. Walton. As Ray’s mother chose, it became more and more awkward.
The salesperson smiled. “If it’s for elders, purple jade is the best. Purple jadeite is divided into five shades. The best is royal purple. This is very rare. We don’t even have it in our shop Then there’s red-purple. Red-purple jadeites are also very beautiful. They’re second only to royal purple. Just this bracelet is our shop’s treasure ”
When the salesperson saw that Ray’s mother was a rich lady, she tried her best to promote it. “This red-purple bracelet is not expensive. It’s only 28 million ” Under the purple jadeites were also blue-purples, violets, pink-purples. She did not promote them, only promoting the red-purple.
Ray’s mother’s head was buzzing. She couldn’t even afford a million-dollar off-road vehicle, let alone a bracelet worth more than 20 million yuan. She maintained a smile without batting an eyelid and said calmly, “It’s just a gift for a senior from my hometown. There’s no need for something so valuable.”
The salesperson was a little disappointed, but for someone who was not that close, it was indeed not worth spending so much money. She could understand. She picked up another blue-purple bracelet. “Then what do you think of this? It only needs a little more than ten million.”
