CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 140: THE OLD MADAM GIVES A BRACELET

Actually, she was just pretending to be in pain, her purpose was to see her great-grandsons and great-granddaughters.

She found out the three kids were going to school here, so she came early to wait for them.

Her patience paid off, and she finally got to see them.

Hmph, since that child Xiao Yun wouldn’t bring them back for her to see, can’t she come to see them herself?

Looking at the three little ones in front of her, she fell in love with them at first sight.

Thinking about how they had wandered outside for so long, her heart ached for them.

Wouldn’t it be great if they had grown up in the Lu Family?

"Grandma! No need to be polite!" the two little ones said.

With the help of the three children, she stood up by herself.

How could she really let the kids help her up, besides, they couldn’t move her.

Su Xingwan had also reached the old lady’s side by this time.

Noticing her elegant, wealthy appearance.

She didn’t seem like someone who would scam others.

She went over to help support the elderly woman: "Hello, old lady, what is your surname? Shall I take you home?"

"My surname is Cai, there’s only my son at home, I’m a bit confused from old age, I don’t even know where home is anymore."

"Then I’ll help you report to the police."

"No... please don’t report to the police. I’m a bit thirsty now, can I come to your house for a drink of water?" the old lady said pitifully.

Su Xingwan hesitated.

She looked at the elderly woman’s attire again, a discreet jewelry necklace hung around her neck, and a bracelet on her wrist, she really didn’t seem like someone who would scam people.

The old lady noticed the girl’s wariness towards her, but she was quite pleased with this granddaughter-in-law she had never met before.

She slowed her speech and said: "Miss, I’m not a bad person, how about I pawn my bracelet to you, it’s worth a lot, you could use it to buy a house without any problem."

Saying this, she took the bracelet off her wrist.

Su Xingwan quickly waved her hand: "No, no need. Since you’re thirsty, you can come to my house for some water."

No sooner had she said that when the translucent jade bracelet was slid onto her wrist.

Su Xingwan: "..."

"Grandma Cai, this bracelet is too valuable, you’re only coming to my house for some water, there’s no need to pawn the bracelet to me."

She was about to take off the bracelet when she believed that the old lady really couldn’t remember the way home.

The old lady said with a smile: "No need, miss, I find you very pleasant and feel a connection with you. Consider the bracelet a gift, it’s not worth much."

Su Xingwan thought: Didn’t you just say this bracelet could be exchanged for a house?

She glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, its rich green hue indicated it was genuine.

She thought that the old lady pawned the bracelet to her out of concern that she might not believe her.

When her family comes looking for her, she would return the bracelet to them.

Beside her, three pairs of wide eyes watched silently as Auntie and the old lady pushed back and forth.

What was Auntie doing?

Su Xingwan supported her: "Grandma Cai, my house is just up ahead, follow us there."

The two little ones volunteered: "Grandma, we’ll help you too!"

"Oh, thank you," the old lady said with a smile, seeing how pretty the granddaughter-in-law was, and how she didn’t look down on an old lady by the roadside, she became more satisfied with her.

Most importantly, the three children she had given birth to were so smart and adorable.

In her heart, she silently cursed her son.

If he hadn’t insisted on stopping Zhi Chen from being with this girl back then, she wouldn’t be a lonely old woman now.

Then she seemed to remember something and said: "Miss, whatever you do, don’t sell that bracelet I gave you, its value is incalculable."

Su Xingwan was puzzled by the old lady’s conflicting words.

She said the bracelet could be exchanged for a house, then it was worthless, now she says it’s invaluable.

She thought, this old lady must really be a bit befuddled.

When they reached home, the old lady saw the girl’s house, most of the items in the living room were toys and children’s things, compared to the cold and unfeeling Lu Family’s old house, it was warm and cozy here.

"Grandma Cai, my place is a bit simple, I hope you don’t mind."

The old lady said cheerfully, "It’s not simple, this place is really nice."

After helping her sit down, Su Xingwan went to get her a cup of tea.

Since it was dinner time, after the old lady finished drinking, Su Xingwan said: "Grandma Cai, just sit here for a while, I’ll go make dinner first."

"Alright, alright. Go ahead, don’t worry about me."

The old lady drank her tea while watching the girl busy in the kitchen, and carefully took in the surroundings of the house.

Then she turned her attention to the three bright-eyed kids in front of her.

She kindly asked: "What are your names?"

"My name is Su Luo!"

"My name is Su Hua!"

"I’m Su Yan."

The old lady gently patted their heads: "You’re all so well-behaved, do you all have your mom’s surname?"

"Mom?" the three kids asked in confusion.

"Grandma means you all have the surname Su, is it the same as your mom’s?"

"Yes!" the two little ones replied.

"We have the same surname as Auntie."

The old lady said with a smile: "Mm, your names are nice, very well chosen."

It was just a pity they weren’t surnamed Lu.

She thought again about her annoying son, and in her heart, she cursed him once more.

If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have missed out on four years of accompanying the kids.

The old lady was very fond of the three children, she rummaged through her pocket, but found nothing except three candies.

She had left in a hurry today and hadn’t brought anything.

Besides, she thought giving the kids gifts without reason might make their mother suspicious.

The child Xiao Yun still didn’t know she had snuck over to see his brother’s kids, she couldn’t let him find out.

She said with a kindly smile: "Grandma didn’t bring gifts today, next time when I visit, I’ll bring you presents, okay?"

"Okay!" the two little ones replied happily: "But we don’t need presents, Auntie gives us plenty, and we already have lots of gifts!"

The old lady was curious who this Auntie was, being so good to them.

Looking at the well-cared-for children, clearly, they hadn’t suffered much, and many were kind to them.

Such thoughts eased a bit of her inner guilt.

It was then she smelled the aroma of cooking from the kitchen.

Su Xingwan came out with a smile, holding plates of food.

"Grandma Cai, why don’t you have dinner with us today? Eat till you’re full, then rest for a while. I’ll contact the police station later to help find your family."

The old lady quickly said: "No need to trouble yourself, I’m just a bit befuddled, I might remember the way home after dinner."

Su Xingwan laughed: "Alright then."

The dishes were already on the table, and the old lady sat down.

She took a bite with her chopsticks.

...Mm.

Su Xingwan saw it and laughed: "Grandma Cai, my cooking isn’t great, it’s just ordinary, please make do with it."
