His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 2218: Chapter 646: A Year Later (23) The Failed Gift

”Then we must be even more careful in the future!”

”Yes, Miss Chen seems like she’s swallowing her anger, but could she have acted this way deliberately after discovering that Madam has returned?”

Everything just now inevitably made them suspicious.

”As workers, we should talk less and do more.”

The chef stood at the door wiping his hands and thought to himself that before he used to worry about Qin Mu taking over his kitchen. Now, he had more reason to worry, but if one must go into the kitchen, he would prefer it to be Qin Mu.

Because a true heart and a true heart are not quite the same.

——

”When they got married before, all the good things went to Qin Mu. But I kept one thing for myself; your uncle gave this to me when I was young. Today, I’m giving it to you. Will this make you feel a little better?”

Feng Fanghua saw her distressed and tearful and felt genuine heartache, feeling that she should give her something truly meaningful as compensation for the grievances she has suffered in the Mu Family recently.

”But Aunt, Yichen and I...”

Chen Xiaoyi spoke as tears sprang forth. Looking at the jade bracelet on her wrist, she knew its worth was no trivial matter, yet there was no further development between Mu Yichen and her.

”Everyone outside is talking about you two dating, have you ever heard him deny it?”

Feng Fanghua held her hand, with a sincere heart.

Chen Xiaoyi seemed suddenly enlightened, looked at Feng Fanghua with hopeful eyes.

”That’s an acknowledgment, silly girl!”

Feng Fanghua couldn’t help but touch her face tenderly, affectionately calling her a silly girl.

This was something she had never done for Qin Mu or even Mu Qingxin.

Chen Xiaoyi, having grown up in such an environment, was still moved and shyly bowed her head.

”Hmph! Bad woman, give back my grandmother’s bracelet!”

Huanhuan had listened for a while at the door. Seeing that her grandmother was so kind to Chen Xiaoyi, she couldn’t stay outside any longer, pushed the door open, and rushed in to snatch the bracelet from Chen Xiaoyi’s hand.

Chen Xiaoyi was stunned, and in that moment, her wrist was already scratched, causing her to cry out in pain.

”Huanhuan, what are you doing? Let go!”

Feng Fanghua was also startled, quickly grabbing Huanhuan’s hand, but Huanhuan gripped the bracelet fiercely, and Feng Fanghua, worried about hurting Huanhuan, didn’t dare to use too much force.

”Sister, I’ll help you!”

Chengcheng also ran in, accompanied by the little dog Mu Yichen bought him a few years ago. Of course, by now the dog had grown up.

Chen Xiaoyi had always been afraid of dogs. Seeing the dog rush in at this moment frightened her even more, causing her to immediately stand up, accidentally knocking Huanhuan to the ground.

Suddenly, the weight on her wrist was gone. Chen Xiaoyi looked down and saw the bracelet Feng Fanghua had given her no longer on her scratched wrist. Raising her eyes, she saw the little girl hurriedly getting up from the ground holding the broken bracelet she was just given.

For some reason, an uncontainable anger suddenly rose in Chen Xiaoyi’s heart.

”Aunt, I think I’d better leave now!”

Chen Xiaoyi suddenly strode out, remembering the humiliation she suffered here today.

Feng Fanghua quickly helped Huanhuan up, unable to attend to whether Chen Xiaoyi left or not, and looked up at her precious granddaughter’s tearful eyes, large as beads, worriedly asking: ”Tell Grandma, are you hurt?”

”You’re not my grandma!”

However, Huanhuan’s eyes were red, and in extreme anger, she threw the bracelet at Feng Fanghua and turned to leave.

Chengcheng was stunned just now, but immediately turned to leave with his dog, shouting: ”Sister, don’t run away, sister, wait for me!”

Feng Fanghua slowly stood up, but her mind was suddenly blank. Was Huanhuan really resentful of her because of that furious look?

Mu Zihao saw Chen Xiaoyi hurriedly leave and came upstairs, finding Feng Fanghua sitting heavily by the dressing table, wiping tears from her face.

”Fanghua, what’s wrong?”

Mu Zihao walked over and affectionately held her.

Feng Fanghua leaned her forehead against his body: ”Zihao, did I really make a mistake? Just now Huanhuan... that child...”

She couldn’t continue, feeling deeply aggrieved, burying her face in his chest.

The jade bracelet lay broken on the floor, Mu Zihao saw it when he arrived.

Mu Zihao guessed what happened and whispered: ”You acted too hastily. Naturally, those siblings couldn’t accept it.”

”Or perhaps that woman Qin Mu said something to the siblings in Paris. In the past, they were never like this towards me, did you know? Just now, Huanhuan said I’m not her grandma anymore, she doesn’t want me to be her grandma, did you know that?”
