It Isnât Something That Can Be Measured With Money

âThis⦠This is the best of the best! Itâs very expensive!â said Old Madam Gu.
Old Madam Li was in a very good mood. As she put on the bracelet, she smiled and said, âMy precious Lingâerâs gift isnât something that can be measured by money.â
As she said that, she held Jiang Lingâerâs hand affectionately.
She said, âLingâer, thank you. I havenât been so happy in a long time.â
âItâs just a string of beads,â Han Xiaoxiao whispered. âThereâs many fakes on the market; this one could be the same.â
Although her voice was very soft, her words were basically audible. Everyone looked at Old Madam Li as if they were watching melons grow.
Gu Hanhan was interested in this. After all, Jiang Lingâer and Han Xiaoxiao had both embarrassed her before. If both of them fought, sheâd be very happy no matter who won. Of course, itâd be better if both sides suffered.
On the other hand, Mrs. Li was furious and looked at Han Xiaoxiao.
She warned, âXiaoxiao, youâd better shut your mouth.â
âAunt, I donât know much about materials, but I know that the yellow rosewood is top-quality; itâs very rare. Suddenly taking out such a big bunch of them, Jiang Lingâer mustâve bought a fake,â Han Xiaoxiao said unwillingly.
Some of the guests who didnât understand started discussing when they heard this.
Hearing the discussions, Han Xiaoxiao revealed a smug look.
However, Old Madam Li was very angry. Although this was her in-lawsâ child, she had no upbringing.
She was about to lecture her when Old Madam Gu spoke first.
She asked, âMiss Han, do you think that my eyesight is bad and Iâm mistaken?â
Han Xiaoxiao felt awkward. She didnât expect Old Madam Gu to speak up.
She explained, âThese days, high-quality imitations are very good. Itâs fine to be wrong once in a while, Old Madam Gu.â
Old Madam Gu mocked, âYou mustâve been living for a long time, Miss Han. You donât know anything, but you still dare to speak nonsense. Youâre the first to be like this. If you say you were the second best in the city, no one else would dare to say that theyâre the first.â
Han Xiaoxiaoâs expression turned ugly.
She looked at Jiang Lingâer and said, âMiss Jiang, didnât my cousin abandon you? How do you still have the nerve to come? Moreover, youâre even trying to use fake goods to deceive Grandma Li.â
âAre you from Aunt Liâs family?â Jiang Lingâer asked.
Han Xiaoxiao nodded proudly.
She continued, âI heard your grandfather was a soldier and later went into business. Your father retired from the military and now heâs taking over Han Group.â
âYouâre correct,â said Han Xiaoxiao proudly.
âI also heard that the Hans have a very strict upbringing,â Jiang Lingâer continued contemptuously.
Not knowing Jiang Lingâerâs insinuation, Han Xiaoxiao arrogantly replied, âYou know quite a lot.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled, âNot much; just a little. Before I got engaged to your cousin, I heard from Auntie Han about the Han familyâs upbringing.â
Han Xiaoxiao said innocently, âHehe, so you knew that before your engagement was canceled. Youâre abandoned now, though. Why are you sucking up to me?â
âMiss Han, youâre very interesting,â Jiang Lingâer said calmly. âWhy should I be ashamed to come? I was the one who called off the engagement because he cheated on me. Itâs also Li Yanâs fault. Anyuway, Iâm here today because the Li familyâs head personally invited me, and your uncle himself personally wrote me one.â
She paused briefly before continuing, âOn the other hand, seems like you didnât take your medicine before you came over. Or did you just leave your brain at home? You dare talk about me and Li Yan at Grandma Liâs birthday party; arenât you slapping the Li family in the face? Also, what right do you have to call my gift fake goods? Do you have evidence? If you have it, then take it out. If you donât, then use your brain and shut up before you ruin your reputation further.â
She then glanced at Mrs. Li and continued, âIâm also quite curious; Aunt Li is such a smart person, so how did she get a brainless niece like you? How much grease did you eat to be able to say those words just now?â
Han Xiaoxiao had lived for more than twenty years, but she had never been insulted like this. It could also be said that no one dared to slap the Han familyâs face like this.
âYou dare to lecture me, Jiang brat?â she angrily said.
Jiang Lingâer said scornfully, âWhat, do you think youâre in the right here? You insulted me; should I just keep quiet? If you donât have a brain, then donât leave the house. Even if you did, donât forget your medicine, okay?â
Han Xiaoxiao looked at Mrs. Li with a wronged expression.
She whined, âAunt, Cousin did the right choice by leaving this woman!â
