Shuxin immediately understood why Yao Huiqin had asked her to come upstairs. He probably saw that Fu Zhilei was here and said those words. He was afraid that she would think too much, so he told her in advance so that she wouldn't misunderstand.
Shuxin felt that Yao Huiqin was really good to her. He really treated her like his daughter-in-law.
Before, she was just a fake girlfriend. When Yao Huiqin treated her well, she felt guilty. Now that she and Huo Yanqing were a real couple, besides being touched by Yao Huiqin's kindness, she could also respond truthfully.
Shuxin smiled and nodded. "Okay."
"What a reasonable child. I deliberately asked Little Five to bring you back so that Leilei can understand that some things can't be forced." Yao Huiqin's eyes were full of satisfaction and love for Shuxin. "Leilei's father and Little Five's father are comrades in arms. They are so close that they are like brothers. So when Leilei asked to stay here, I couldn't refuse. If you're worried, you can stay here too."
"It's okay. Fifth Uncle rarely spends the night here." Shuxin didn't dare to stay here. In order to hold his grandson, Yao Huiqin had locked her and Huo Yanqing in a room. Shuxin was really afraid that Yao Huiqin would do something even more outrageous if she stayed here.
"That's true." Yao Huiqin nodded. He thought of something and let go of Shuxin's hand. He leaned over and picked up a sandalwood box on the bedside table. He opened it and put a green jade bracelet in Shuxin's hand. "This is a Family Huo ancestral bracelet. It's passed down to the daughter-in-law, not to the daughter. I originally gave it to Xiao Qiao, but after Second Brother left, she insisted on returning it. I know what she meant. She and Second Brother only have one daughter. She felt that this bracelet couldn't be passed down in her hands, so she returned it to me. Now, I'm passing it to you."
Shuxin didn't know much about jade, but she knew that jade was very precious. The bracelet that Yao Huiqin gave her was almost entirely green. It was obviously very expensive.
Yao Huiqin said that this bracelet was only passed down to the daughter-in-law, not to the daughter. She and Huo Yanqing had just started dating, and it was uncertain whether they would be together in the future. Although she really wanted to grow old with Huo Yanqing, things were unpredictable. Before everything was set in stone, no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.
Shuxin hurriedly stuffed the bracelet back into Yao Huiqin's hand. "Auntie Yao, I'm very happy that you think highly of me. I can't accept such an expensive gift."
Yao Huiqin frowned and was a little unhappy. "What's wrong? Don't you like Little Five?"
"No." Shuxin hurriedly shook her head. "I like Fifth Uncle, and I want to be with him, but …"
"That's enough," Yao Huiqin said and stuffed the bracelet back into Shuxin's hand. "Take it. I'll be angry if you don't."
Shuxin said helplessly, "Auntie Yao …"
Yao Huiqin patted the back of Shuxin's hand and said gently, "Good girl, take it. I'm old and often forget things. Sometimes I don't even remember where I put things. Now that I remember it, I'll give it to you. What if I lose it if you leave it with me?"
In the end, Shuxin accepted it. It was hard to refuse such kindness, but she thought that she would help Yao Huiqin keep it. If she married Huo Yanqing in the future, she would wear it. If Huo Yanqing's wife was someone else … she would give it to someone else.
However, there was one thing that Shuxin didn't understand. Yao Huiqin said that she had passed this bracelet to Qiao Ling. Qiao Ling was her second daughter-in-law. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't things that were passed down be passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law?
