Thinking about this, Jiang Momo also understood.

There's no need for it.

She was Li Jiuyuan's wife, and this was the Li family's old residence. If she hadn't come with him, she wouldn't have been caught in that dangerous situation.

So she hoped Li Jiuyuan would help her out of the predicament, firstly because she couldn't get away herself, and secondly because it was something Li Jiuyuan should do anyway.

But once they leave this place, Jiang Momo and Li Jiuyuan will have different identities and statuses.

She had seen many people like Li Jiuyuan in the club.

His kindness towards her was either to gain sexual benefits from her or out of sympathy.

But Jiang Momo doesn't need the pity of any superior.

Having figured all this out, Jiang Momo was no longer fixated on getting a specific answer.

She dutifully played the role of a qualified young mistress of the Li family.

"What I meant was that I didn't know the old lady's preferences, and I was afraid I might upset her."

The smile in Li Jiuyuan's eyes faded, replaced by a scrutinizing look that was barely perceptible.

There was still a hint of hostility in him.

"That's all?"

"Of course, that's all." Jiang Momo's tone was normal.

Li Jiuyuan inexplicably became angry.

"I'll ask you one more time, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

"Don't you feel wronged by how they treated you just now?"

I didn't even want to ask him why he didn't get there sooner.

Jiang Momo shrugged, completely unconcerned.

"In no mood."

"OK."

Li Jiuyuan said these words through gritted teeth.

For the rest of the journey, Li Jiuyuan walked very fast, and Jiang Momo, wearing high heels, could only struggle to keep up with him.

Fortunately, she's used to it. When she was a citrus tester, she sometimes had to stand in high heels all night.

Even if she works part-time as a hostess, she still has to walk 30,000 steps a day while wearing high heels.

This level of intensity is nothing to her.

However, Jiang Momo couldn't understand what Li Jiuyuan was angry about.

I didn't say anything wrong, did I?

Li Jiuyuan stopped in front of a large living room on the second floor.

When he faced Jiang Momo, his tone was still not very friendly.

"Be smarter in a bit, understand?"

Jiang Momo nodded.

"I know, thank you for reminding me, Ninth Master."

After she finished speaking, she put on a very polite smile and took Li Jiuyuan's hand.

The two of them pushed open the door and went inside together.

An elderly man with gray hair and wrinkles sat in the center of the living room.

The old man was over eighty years old, about the same age as the old man of the Li family, but he was weaker and had pale lips. He was being served tea by the old woman beside him.

As soon as the two entered, the old lady raised her aged eyes and looked over.

Li Jiuyuan explained, "When you came last time, Grandma was in a nursing home, so you didn't see her."

This time, the old man was away on business, so Jiang Momo could only see the old lady.

She nodded in agreement and obediently walked over.

Hello, Grandma.

Jiang Momo even put on a "no-makeup" makeup look to match her dress when she went out today.

Actually, it was just makeup; it was just a slight enhancement of her eyebrows and eyes. When she smiled, she still had that sweet and adorable look.

The old lady moved a beat slower, slowly squinting her eyes.

"Good child, come and sit down."

The nanny beside her explained, "Young Madam, the old lady's hearing isn't very good. Please move over a bit. She came out of the sanatorium specifically to see you."

Jiang Momo was flattered and overwhelmed.

I don't deserve such attention from the other party.

Although the old lady was quite old, she spoke with an air of authority that commanded respect without anger.

"Don't scare my dear granddaughter-in-law. I really don't like living in that nursing home, so I'm using this as an excuse to go home."

Jiang Momo obediently walked over, and the other person held her hand tightly, as if wanting to look at Jiang Momo from all angles.

"Truly outstanding; my son has excellent taste."

At this point, Jiang Momo inexplicably felt that Li Jiuyuan, who was standing next to her, seemed somewhat smug.

"My father told me about you a few days ago, and today I finally have the chance to meet you."

The old lady never let go of Jiang Momo.

"You and Jiuyuan got your marriage certificate in such a hurry, so as an elder, I have to give you a little something in return."

After she finished speaking, she gestured to the nanny with her eyes.

The other party quickly retrieved a box from behind and presented it neatly to Jiang Momo.

"Grandma, what's this?"

"A wedding gift for you two."

The old lady was delighted and told Jiang Momo to accept it.

"No, this is too expensive."

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but then looked at Li Jiuyuan.

Li Jiuyuan didn't speak, but simply nodded his chin.

Even so, she had no choice but to accept the box. The box didn't look very big, but it was quite heavy in her hand.

The old lady genuinely liked this girl and was very kind to her.

"Open it quickly and see if you like it."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Momo slowly opened the box.

She thought it was at most a necklace or a bracelet.

But I didn't expect that after just one glance, I would be almost blinded by what was inside.

On the velvet brocade surface, lay quietly an imperial green bracelet, its entire surface emerald green without a single blemish.

The emerald green color is rich and full, and the texture is extremely clear.

Even though she had never been exposed to this kind of thing before, Jiang Momo could tell that the bracelet was quite valuable.

The nanny said, "Young Madam, this bracelet was part of the old lady's dowry. She specifically asked me to find it a couple of days ago, saying she wanted to give it to her new granddaughter-in-law as a gift."

What was the dowry of the old lady of the Li family?

That must be something incredibly luxurious.

Jiang Momo suddenly remembered something a customer had mentioned a few years ago when she was working part-time.

Imperial green jadeite bracelets are not common in the market. If the quality is good and the texture is excellent, they are priceless treasures at auctions.

But most of them are available but have no price.

"No, Grandma, this is too expensive."

Upon learning the origin of the bracelet, Jiang Momo dared not accept it. She closed the box and tried to return it to the old lady.

The old lady, however, was rather stubborn. After receiving the bracelet, she took it out and put it on Jiang Momo's wrist.

"Good boy, you must accept it."

"Now that you're married to Jiuyuan, you're a member of the Li family. Besides, I truly love you."

Jiang Momo pursed her lips, still feeling it wasn't quite right.

But she couldn't push the old lady away, so she could only let the bracelet slip into her wrist.

"this……"

She looked at Li Jiuyuan for help.

Li Jiuyuan had already sat down beside him, and a servant had prepared tea for him. He picked it up and, through the rising steam, met Jiang Momo's gaze.

"Since it's from your grandmother, you should accept it."

Jiang Momo had never seen anything so beautiful in her life. With the bracelet hanging on her wrist, she didn't dare to move it even slightly, for fear of accidentally bumping or knocking it over.

The old lady found it even more amusing and gave further instructions.

"Vivi."

She called out Jiang Momo's name, but she was still using Jiang Weiwei's.

Jiang Momo lowered her eyes and heard the other person say:

"Jiuyuan may have a bad temper, but he's a good person. If he ever dares to bully you, just come to Grandma. Grandma will back you up."
