280 A Shocking Gift

The Lian family already knew that Lian Meng was coming back. They had been busy since noon. The fragrance coming from the kitchen made one’s stomach growl.

The moment Lian Meng entered, she jumped into Old Master Lian’s arms and burrowed into his chest affectionately. “Grandpa, I’ve missed you you so much. This time, I won’t leave Grandpa again!”

“Alright, get your brother to find a company for you to work in. Then, you’ll have time to keep me company.” Old Master Lian patted his granddaughter’s head dotingly and smiled at the top of her head.

Lian Meng immediately sat up and stole a glance at Lian Jing’s expression. She grabbed Old Master Lian’s arm in fear and shook it. “Grandpa, don’t joke around like this. If I really do that, my brother will definitely kick me overseas to train!”

Old Master Lian chuckled and patted her hand kindly. “Don’t blame your brother for being strict. He’s doing this for your own good. He wants you to stand on your own feet so that you won’t be bullied when you get married in the future. Look at your sister-in-law. How many girls dare to be forensic pathologists? She’s so capable!”

Shen Yin sat on the sofa in embarrassment. She did not sit near them to give them more space. “Grandpa is teasing me. Meng Meng earns a lot of money and knows how to run a company.”

Lian Meng smiled and held Old Master Lian’s arm. “Grandpa, did you hear that? Sister-in-law is praising me for being capable!”

“Your sister-in-law dotes on you.” Old Master Lian could tell that Shen Yin liked Lian Meng.

He had never worried about this problem. In his eyes, these were two good children. They were not like other sisters-in-law who were jealous of each other. They would dote on each other.

Glancing at the gift box Shen Yin placed on the coffee table, Old Master Lian asked with a smile, “Who gave this to Yin Yin?”

“Grandpa, it’s from me!” Lian Meng raised her hand obediently like a primary school student who had volunteered to answer a teacher’s question in class. She was so cute.

Shen Yin nodded and said, “Meng Meng said that this is her birthday present for me. I like it very much.”

Lian Meng widened her eyes in surprise. “Sister-in-law, you haven’t opened it yet. How do you know that you’ll like it? What if it’s not something you like?”

Shen Yin could not help but laugh as she looked at her mischievous appearance. She said helplessly, “I’ll like whatever you give me. It’s your thought that counts.”

“Sister-in-law is the best!” Lian Meng smiled sweetly and scurried to Shen Yin’s side. She pushed her shoulder and urged her, “Then quickly open it and see if it suits your taste.”

“Okay.” Shen Yin was also very curious about what Lian Meng would give her. It was quite heavy.

She carefully opened the box, but she was caught off guard by the Guanyin statue made of pure jade. It was as long as two hands’ length.

“Why did you give me this?” Shen Yin looked at her in surprise and tried her best to control her shocked expression. She felt that it would be rude if Lian Meng realized how she felt.

Lian Meng explained to her mysteriously, “Sister-in-law, I asked a Master to get this Guanyin that gives children!”

Gives children?

Shen Yin could not control her facial expression anymore. She looked at Lian Meng in shock and then at Lian Jing, who was drinking tea with a straight face. She suddenly jumped up from the sofa. “Gives children? Why did you give me this out of the blue? I- alright, thank you for your kindness, but I’ll put it in the living room, not the bedroom, okay?”

Shen Yin carefully looked at Lian Meng’s expression. She really could not bear to let her down, but she was really a little afraid to put such a thing on the bedside table.

She did not believe in such things, but she could not guarantee that Lian Jing would not have any strange thoughts after seeing this. If he continued with his merciless ways, he would probably break her back.

Lian Meng did not know how far Shen Yin’s thoughts had traveled. She continued to explain to her smugly, “Sister-in-law, you and my brother only have one child, Nian Nian. How wonderful if you could have another child to keep Nian Nian company! It would be best if it was a girl. That way, our little niece would have an older brother the moment she was born!”

After saying that, she looked at Lian Jing, who had not said anything, and knew that she had hit the right spot. She became even more smug. “But don’t let Nian Nian become like my brother. Otherwise, she might as well not exist!”

Lian Jing glanced at her coldly. He suddenly put down his teacup and reached out to grab Shen Yin, who was trying to sneak away. He looked up and stared at her with a faint smile. “Where are you going?”

“I, I remembered that I haven’t seen Nian Nian for so long. I want to take a look at him first!” Shen Yin casually lied. Actually, she did not want to face the child-giving Guanyin. She could not wait for them to forget about this matter so that she could secretly get rid of this thing!

Old Master Lian comforted her with a loving expression. “Yin Yin, sit down. The butler brought Nian Nian to buy exercise books. He should be back soon. You don’t have to worry. I think Meng Meng’s gift is quite nice. Do you and Lian Jing want to…”
