Chapter 323 A Gift from Grandpa

Xia Xiaoluo was eager to eat the snacks. Xiao Lan knew what was in Xia Xiaoluo’s mind, so she coaxed her, “Xiaoluo, these are yours when you are out of confinement. Sir Ouyang bought them especially for you, so we won’t eat them and I will keep them for you. But now you can only eat tonic food instead of these snacks.”

“Don’t worry, Xiaoluo, Aunt Xiao Lan will put the snacks away for you and I won’t throw them away.” Ouyang Ziqian also echoed. As long as Xiao Lan said these snacks were not good for Xia Xiaoluo, Ouyang Ziqian would not let Xia Xiaoluo touch them.

“Alas!” Xia Xiaoluo sighed helplessly, but she could only give up.

“Xiaoluo, don’t be upset. I have something good for you!” Ouyang Feng said happily. Of course, this good thing referred to the invaluable plum blossom jade pendant.

“Grandpa Ouyang, you have sent me the tonic food and the snacks. I could not accept it. Don’t be too polite.” Xia Xiaoluo said with embarrassment.

“That’s all right! I like you, so of course I’ll give you the gifts.” Ouyang Feng was happy, because he thought that Xia Xiaoluo was not a greedy child and she knew how to refuse the gifts when it was enough. However, the more she refused, the more he wanted to give her, it was his character.

A Tie shook his head helplessly. Feng Manni was here as well. If she saw Sir Ouyang giving Xia Xiaoluo such a valuable gift, she would go back and complain about this to Ouyang Mingyu again.

Ouyang Feng took out the brocade box from his pocket carefully and handed it to Xia Xiaoluo. “Come on, Xiaoluo, open it and have a look! See if you like it!”

Xia Xiaoluo took the box and opened it awkwardly.

“The jade pendant of plum blossom pattern, it’s very beautiful!” Xia Xiaoluo commented, “But, Grandpa Ouyang, I know your goodwill, and I’ll accept your kindness in my heart. But it’s too expensive, I really can’t accept it.”

“No way! I specially found it and I want to give it to you. I met you in a hurry last time and I didn’t give you a gift. So, this time I’ll make it up to you.” Ouyang Feng still wanted to give it to Xia Xiaoluo. Even Xia Xiaoluo didn’t accept it, he wanted to give her as well.

Feng Manni was very anxious and nervous. Of course, she knew this jade pendant of plum blossom pattern. At that time, she asked Ouyang Feng to give her this valuable treasure as his daughter-in-law, but Ouyang Feng didn’t give her. For so many years, Ouyang Feng has kept this plum jade pendant as a treasure.

When Ouyang Feng was going to give it to Xia Xiaoluo, Feng Manni was almost going mad. But she knew that although Ouyang Feng seemed playful apparently, he was a vicious person. So, she could only play deaf and dumb in front of his father-in-law and tolerate it temporarily. She could only go back home to show her mind to her husband Ouyang Mingyu and let him solve this problem.

Anyway, Feng Manni would never allow Ouyang Feng to give this most precious thing to Xia Xiaoluo. It was not only because of the value and the significance of the plum blossom jade pendant, but also because if Xia Xiaoluo accepted it, it meant that Ouyang Feng had accepted her as his grandson’s wife. She, on the other hand, would never allow her son to marry an unmarried mother with an annoying stepson.

Ouyang Ziqian didn’t know the origin of the jade pendant. He thought that it was just a jade article in his family. After all, the Ouyang family was wealthy and they had countless jade articles.

“Take what grandpa gave you, Xiaoluo! It’s also his goodwill. If you don’t accept it, he will be upset.” Ouyang Ziqian said to help his grandpa.

“Well…” Xia Xiaoluo was in a dilemma. She really didn’t want to accept such a jade pendant without any reason. Although she didn’t know its origin, she knew she couldn’t take it casually even it was an ordinary jade because she knew that it was not cheap.

“Xiaoluo, take it. If you don’t take it, you are looking down upon me. I’m going to be angry.” Ouyang Feng used his usual tone of voice when he gave gifts to others. It was also his trump card for sending gifts!

“Xiaoluo, take it. Don’t let Grandpa be anxious.” Ouyang Ziqian continued.

“Ah! Dad, Ziqian, Xiaoluo is a good girl and she doesn’t like to accept the gift casually. Don’t force her anymore.” Feng Manni said. She couldn’t stand the suffering, and she couldn’t just stand aside to see the plum blossom jade pendant was so easily to be given to a girl she didn’t like. She couldn’t stand that an unmarried mother who was regarded as the grandson’s wife by Ouyang Feng to destroy her son’s whole life.

“Don’t cut in. I have decided! My decision won’t change.” Ouyang Feng knew what was in Feng Manni’s mind. He wouldn’t listen to her!

Xia Xiaoluo looked very embarrassed. Even Xiao Lan understood why. If Xia Xiaoluo took the gift now, she would offend Feng Manni. But if she didn’t take the present, she would make Ouyang Feng embarrassed. Xiao Lan was also in a dilemma. But after all, she was more experienced than Xia Xiaoluo. As Xia Xiaoluo’s aunt, she finally had the ideas to solve this problem.

“Xiaoluo, why don’t you take it first. If Sir Ouyang regrets, you can give it back to him. You just keep it for him for a few days.” Xiao Lan said. She wanted to tell Feng Manni that the plum blossom jade pendant could be returned at any time as long Ouyang Feng agreed.

“You are just a servant! Keep your mouth shut!” Feng Manni sniffed, but in front of Ouyang Feng, she could only complain about it in a low voice.

“I won’t regret! Anyway, you wear it first. If you wear it, I’ll be happy.” Ouyang Feng said, and he put the jade pendant around Xia Xiaoluo’s neck personally.

Now that it went like this, Xia Xiaoluo didn’t refuse again. If she continued to refuse, it would seem to be too hypocritical, and the atmosphere would be very embarrassing.

“Grandpa Ouyang, if you regret, I can give it back to you, really.” Xia Xiaoluo still thought that Ouyang Feng was just an old urchin and he was not reliable. Xia Xiaoluo thought that maybe he was just childlike and he would regret a few days later.

“If you say that again, I will be really unhappy. I am just as good as my words. I’ll never go back on my word!” Ouyang Feng said.

Xia Xiaoluo didn’t say anything else. Feng Manni also couldn’t do anything about it. At present, it was the only way.

“Well, Dad, there’s something else at home. I go now.” Feng Manni didn’t want to stay here for a second.

“Go back if you have something to do.” Ouyang Feng waved. He didn’t want Feng Manni to make trouble here as well. He still wanted to talk to Xia Xiaoluo!

“Well, I will go then.” Feng Manni always showed her respect to Ouyang Feng.

Before Feng Manni left, she said to Ouyang Ziqian, “Son, drink all the soup up. You gave so much blood to Xia Xiaoluo. You should also cherish your body and eat something nutritious, or mom will feel distressed. Do you know?”

“OK, mom, I’ll take good care of myself. You can go home at ease!” Ouyang Ziqian sent Feng Manni to the door of the elevator, and then he came back to the ward.

After Ouyang Ziqian came back, Ouyang Feng asked at once, “Did you give Xiaoluo a blood transfusion?”

“Yes! A little bit. Xiaoluo and I are both RH electronegative blood. It was urgent, so I transferred a little to her. My mother is too nervous. Grandpa, don’t worry, I’m OK.” Ouyang Ziqian said.

“RH electronegative blood, the rare blood type of our Ouyang family!” Ouyang Feng started to talk to himself.

“Grandpa, what’s the matter?” Ouyang Ziqian thought that his grandfather was a little abnormal.

“Grandpa Ouyang, you…” Xia Xiaoluo found that too.

“Oh, I’m fine!” Ouyang Feng regained his consciousness and said under great psychological pressure, “Xiaoluo, do you look like your mother or your father?”

“Ah?” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know why Ouyang Feng asked this question, but she still answered it according to the truth, “My mother died giving birth to me, so I haven’t seen my mother, but I don’t look like my father, so he didn’t like me!”

“Oh! What a poor child!” Ouyang Feng sighed, and then he continued to ask, “Have you seen your mother’s photos?”

“When I was a child, Aunt Xiao Lan gave me some photos. However, when I looked at them secretly, Xia Jingru accidentally found that. She was my stepmother’s daughter, and the photos were destroyed by her. I have almost forgotten what the photos looked like. But I know that my mother is the most beautiful and the kindest person.” Xia Xiaoluo thought of the things when she was a child, and she still felt very sad. Why didn’t she take good care of her mother’s photos!

“Aunt Xiao Lan, are you Xiao Lan?” Ouyang Feng pointed at Xiao Lan.

“Yes, Sir Ouyang. I’m Xiao Lan.” Xiao Lan replied.

“Weren’t you invited by Ziqian to take care of Xiaoluo in Y Country? How can you know Xiaoluo’s mother? What’s this all about?” Ouyang Feng was confused.

Knowing that his grandfather couldn’t figure out the situation, Ouyang Ziqian told Ouyang Feng how Xiaoluo met Xiao Lan.

“I see!” Ouyang Feng sighed, “Then how did you know Xiaoluo’s mother?”

“Sir, I am an orphan. Xiaoluo’s mother is also an orphan. We grew up in the same orphanage together, and then we went to study and worked in A City together. We were very good friends. But she was unlucky and didn’t go through it when she gave birth to Xiaoluo. Alas!” Xiao Lan thought of Xiaoluo’s mother, she still felt sad.

“Her mother is an orphan?” Ouyang Feng jumped up from the sofa suddenly.

“Yes, we grew up in the orphanage of F County which was in the suburb of A City. There was only one orphanage in F County. If you don’t believe it, you can check it!” Xiao Lan replied according to the truth.

“As for Xiaoluo’s appearance, it was really as lively and delightful as her mother when she was young. They look so much alike.” Xiao Lan said.

“Her mother was very kind. It’s a pity that the kind-hearted woman was unlucky in the end! Alas!” Xiao Lan sighed.

“Her mother, her mother… That’s my daughter. She must be my daughter Mingfei, Mingfei, Mingfei…” Ouyang Feng was so excited that he passed out at once.

“Grandpa, Grandpa…” Ouyang Ziqian held Ouyang Feng hurriedly.

“Call the doctor right now!” Ouyang Ziqian roared.
