Chapter 1858: Chapter 1859: Who Says This Has Nothing to Do With Me

“Shen Yu, can’t you keep your mouth shut?”

Old Madame Shen was also quite angry, but she was far more composed than the younger generation. She forced a smile and said, “Rong, I know what we brought up is quite sudden for you. Isn’t it because both your mother and I like you so much? The moment we saw you, we felt an instant connection, wishing you could become part of our family immediately. That’s why we didn’t prepare a meeting gift for you. Here, let Grandma give you something nice.”

She took off a bright jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it over with a smile, “This was a wedding dowry from my mother when I got married. Hetian jade. I’m getting old, and wearing such a bright green color is a waste on me. It’s perfect for young women like you to wear.”

Mrs. Shen displayed a look of surprise, “Mom, that bracelet…”

Old Madame Shen glanced at her, urging her to calm down, and lovingly explained, “I originally said this bracelet would be saved for Siyuan and passed on to her when she gets married. But today, meeting you, it felt like both palm and the back of the hand are dear. I’d prefer to educate her a bit more for a couple of years before she marries, to avoid causing trouble for the family. So, I’ll give this bracelet to you. Don’t feel burdened; this is just a small meeting gift from Grandma. When you become part of our family, your grandfather, brother, and the whole family will have other gifts for you.”

All the adults present understood perfectly well what she meant by ‘becoming part of the family’.

Rong Yan discreetly avoided the outstretched jade bracelet.

“Old Madame Shen, this bracelet is too valuable, I can’t accept it…”

Before she could finish, Old Madame Shen regretfully took the bracelet back, looked up, and said, “Ah, you’re such an honest child! I like you more and more.”

“No worries, if you don’t want the bracelet, Grandma will find you something you like later.”

She took it back quickly, suggesting she wasn’t genuinely willing to give the expensive jade bracelet to Rong Yan.

“Rong, does this mean you’ve agreed to Grandma?” She put the bracelet back on and asked again with anticipation.

Rong Yan took deep breaths.

Compared to Old Madame Shen, who relied on her seniority to be difficult, she preferred dealing with Shen Yu and Mrs. Shen. At least they were more straightforward.

If it comes to tearing things apart, everyone can do it freely.

Unlike Old Madame Shen, who appeared benevolent but harbored ill intentions, making it hard to refuse.

Rong Yan subconsciously glanced at the man beside her, noticing his calm profile without any intention to intervene. This strange feeling in her heart grew stronger.

He was unnaturally quiet today!

Too quiet, which was unlike his usual style.

It was as if he was waiting for something.

Rong Yan unintentionally got distracted for a moment.

Old Madame Shen waited for her response for ages but saw no reaction. Noticing she was spaced out, she almost choked with anger and turned away. She bit her teeth, her face darkening with anger at Rong Yan for disrespecting her and deliberately putting their family in a tough spot, just as she was about to react.

Jiang Chenyue, who had been watching her, suddenly spoke up, stepping in front of Rong Yan, “This doesn’t seem right.”

She was interfering again.

Old Madame Shen’s anger was reaching its peak, and she forced a smile, saying, “This is a Shen Family matter and doesn’t seem to involve Madame Chu.”

Chu Aotian found it peculiar for her to meddle.

Then they heard Jiang Chenyue calmly respond, “Who says it doesn’t involve me? Old Madame Shen, you’re forcing my daughter to acknowledge you as her parents. Those who don’t know might think I’m dead.”
