Chapter 493: Chapter 493_1 Chapter 493: Chapter 493_1 What was considered as a proper coming of age gift, a better gift for Qiao Xiaren?
Isn’t this already enough?
Hearing his niece addressing him as “Auntie”, Qiao Lang’s smile became even brighter.
Before Bai Qiuqing could recover from her astonishment, the old lady Qiao seemed to remember something and instructed the butler to fetch the safe.
“Ranran, the last time your grandfather gifted you a pearl necklace, Grandma also has a present for you.” As the safe was opened, a pure blue diamond ring came into everyone’s sight.
Naturally, this was no ordinary blue diamond. It was once revered as the ‘Tears of Blue Eyes’, treasured in the royal household of M Country and then lost into the Western markets. It was said that the first auction price was a whopping one hundred million RMB.
Bai Qiuqing widened her eyes once again. When she married into the Qiao Family in most grandeur, she had never witnessed such magnificence and liberal approach.
“All these things are just worldly possessions, given to you to keep at your side.” Mrs. Qiao patted her granddaughter’s hand, “Later you can wear the jewelry Grandma gives you to attend that so-called ‘Fashion Dora Gala’. I guarantee that my granddaughter will be the most eye-catching one.”
She’s going to wear these priceless treasures to a banquet? Has she gone mad?
Bai Qiuqing didn’t know how to describe her feelings at the moment. She stared at Mrs. Qiao’s hand the entire time.
“Lang, you go with Ranran to the banquet later.” The old lady looked at her daughter, hinting at something, “If anyone dares to bully Ranran, you can immediately slap them. Teach them a lesson that they will never forget.”
The most disheartening thing for Madam Qiao was An Yuqian. After all these years of remarrying, she never spared a glance at her own son and paid no attention to her daughter’s matters.
Such a failed mother, it’s ridiculous how she treats her stepson and stepdaughter as her own.
Really don’t know what these people are thinking.
Madam Qiao used to have some expectations of her, but now, she wishes that woman would leave Yi’an and Ranran alone.
“Mom, don’t worry. Don’t you know me? I’ve just never bothered with her before. This time, if we meet, I’ll teach her a lesson she won’t forget!”
Of course, Qiao Lang knew what Madam Qiao was worried about. The person she disliked the most in the past was An Yuqian. She found her behavior disgusting right from the start of her marriage.
But since she had already married into the family, she didn’t want to be the nagging sister-in-law whom everyone criticized, so she turned a blind eye to her actions.
Madam Qiao treated her well, but who knew that the woman would end up having an affair with a man from the Lan Family, causing trouble for the Qiao Family for years.
Qiao Xiaren’s expression remained unchanged. It seemed she was not at all interested in the person Qiao Lang was talking about. The Qiao Family’s strong prejudice against An Yuqian didn’t come without reason.
Mrs. Qiao glanced at her daughter, and Qiao Lang quickly changed the subject, looking at Qiao Xiaren with a smile: “Xiaren, let’s go change our clothes. Auntie will take you to the banquet.”
“Alright,” Qiao Xiaren nodded her head and paced after Qiao Lang upstairs.
Si Limo, of course, knew that Qiao Xiaren had returned to Qiao’s house, so he drove straight to the front of Qiao’s house. The golden rays of the setting sun cast light, just as a Maybach was leaving the Qiao’s house.
As the two vehicles passed by, Qiao Xiaren recognized Si Limo’s car. At the same moment, Si Limo spotted Qiao Xiaren in his car. At almost the exact same time, both car windows rolled down slowly, and their gazes intersect in the moving space.
