C287 I Wish You Happiness!
Ann Chen nodded and looked at Luo Xue.
Only then did Luo Xue withdraw her gaze and also nodded her head.
The three of them walked side by side. Ann Chen walked in the middle. The distance between Luo Xue and Ann Chen was slightly further.
Other people were all female companions holding onto the arm of the male companion, but Luo Xue maintained the distance like this.
She would rather believe that it was her personality. She always liked to keep a distance from boys, but she was not willing to admit that she remembered Mu Shucheng's words. "Don't hold onto his arm. Don't have close contact with him."
The park in late autumn was not filled with spring, nor was it decorated with flowers and willows in summer. It was even more impossible for it to be wrapped in silver during winter. Everything was so bleak.
But autumn naturally had the beautiful autumn.
The most beautiful autumn park was, of course, the huge gingko tree.
North Sea Park had a certain history. It could be seen from the thick gingko tree.
Ancient tree branches and golden leaves.
Walking on the road paved with falling gingko leaves, Luo Xue unconsciously laughed out loud.
She thought of that day when she was at East Mountain Temple with Mu Shucheng. He suddenly grabbed a handful of leaves and sprinkled them at her.
Through the dancing ginkgo leaves, it was his handsome face.
Luo Xue smiled sweetly. The blush on her cheeks was like a peach blossom that had just bloomed. It slowly spread under her fair skin.
Ann Chen stood beside Luo Xue. Although he was curious about what she had thought of that could make her so happy, he could not bear to break this moment of beauty.
Tang Bei, on the other hand, spoke quickly, "What did Miss Luo think of?"
Only then did Luo Xue withdraw her thoughts. She smiled shyly and did not reply.
The three of them walked side by side, causing the surrounding people to look at them from time to time.
North Sea Park was very large. They walked along the small path, quiet and comfortable.
On festive days, one family would laugh and the other would worry.
Today, however, the one who should be worried was actually strolling under the ginkgo tree with a small heart. The bride who should be happy was full of sorrow.
"Jiao'en, this is the sixteenth year of your life in the Mu family. Grandma doesn't know what to say, but Grandma hopes that you will be happy!"
Shi Lan sat beside Mu Jiao'en and her eyes were slightly red. It could be seen that she was reluctant to part.
Mu Jiao'en's eyes were also red. "Grandma, don't worry. Even if I am married, I am still a member of the Mu family. I am also your granddaughter!"
Shi Lan quickly nodded her head and her eyes were filled with tears.
She held Mu Jiao'en's hand and turned around to look at Mrs Chang who was behind her.
Mrs Chang quickly opened the lid of the box in her hand and handed it to Shi Lan.
The box was square and wooden. There were patterns carved on it. Looking at the technique, it should have come from an expert. The workmanship was exquisite.
The box was covered with golden satin. On top of the satin was a ball of compressed cotton and on top of the cotton was a jade spoon.
The jade spoon was small and transparent.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the jade spoon was expensive.
Shi Lan carefully took out the jade spoon and looked at it.
"This was given to me by your parents when they were alive. They said that they wanted to give it to you as a dowry when you get married. I heard that this was a betrothal gift from your father to your mother when your parents got married. I've kept it for many years, and now I'm giving it to you on behalf of your parents. "
Shi Lan said and handed the jade spoon to Mu Jiao'en.
"Grandma..." Mu Jiao'en took it and only shouted and her body could not help but choke.
Mu Shucheng, who had been leaning against the window smoking, saw what happened. He snuffed out the cigarette and walked to Mu Jiao'en to pat her shoulder.
"Happy day..."
As he spoke, he took out a tissue and handed it to Mu Jiao'en. He then looked at Shi Lan and changed the topic of the jade spoon. He said with some liveliness, "Grandma, Jiao'en is getting married. Didn't you prepare a gift?"
Shi Lan also wiped away her tears, "How can I not prepare? My granddaughter got married and was overjoyed. Of course I have to give her my blessing."
As Shi Lan spoke, she took a pearl necklace from her neck, "I know you don't lack those gold and silver jewelry, but now this is the only thing grandma can give you."
Shi Lan said as she held the necklace in her hand and gently caressed it. She only passed it to Mu Jiao'en after a long time.
Mu Jiao'en quickly shook her head and pushed it back because she knew how important that necklace was to Shi Lan. It was the only token that Grandfather Mu left for her before his death.
"I know how Grandma feels towards me but I really cannot accept this gift."
"Take it!"
Shi Lan said as she pried open Mu Jiao'en's hand and put the necklace into her hand, "You don't think that Grandma's gift is worthless, right?"
Mu Jiao'en then knitted her eyebrows and tightly held the necklace in her palm.
Her entire person took the opportunity to lean into Shi Lan's embrace.
Shi Lan lightly patted her head, "Silly girl."
After a while, Shi Lan stood up. She knew what Mu Jiao'en was thinking. Although she knew that Mu Jiao'en and Mu Shucheng really could not be together anymore, she still gave them the last time Mu Jiao'en was single. It was the best gift for Mu Jiao'en.
"You siblings can talk for a while. I will go out and take a look."
Shi Lan patted the back of Mu Jiao'en's hand as she spoke and looked at Mu Jiao'en meaningfully.
Walking out of the temporary dressing room, Shi Lan let out a long breath.
"The old lady can be at ease this time."
Mrs Chang supported her and whispered beside her.
Shi Lan sighed again, "These two children are my flesh and blood. Watching them each have their own family... That's good too."
"Young Master and Miss will be happy. Old lady, don't worry."
Shi Lan smiled in relief and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is Young Madam here today?"
Mrs Chang heard this and looked around before whispering softly into her ear.
Shi Lan frowned slightly and her aged face revealed some helplessness.
"That child is kind and stubborn. After this matter is over, we will ask her out for a meal. I don't know if she will be angry with me, this old hag, since we did not contact her a while ago..."
"How can that be? Young Mistress is so sensible..."
Mrs Chang supported Shi Lan and whispered. The two of them walked towards the temporary reception hall not far away.
Mu family and Han family were overjoyed. There were naturally many people who came to congratulate, and they were all either rich or noble. It was only natural for the old lady to greet and leave.
"I will be getting married in a while. Is there anything you want to say to me?" In the dressing room, Mu Jiao'en opened her mouth first, and her voice was as gentle and gentle as before.
"I wish you happiness!" Mu Shucheng said honestly.
Mu Jiao'en pursed her lips and wanted to say something else, but after thinking for a long time, she changed the topic. "Luo Xue did not come?"
Mu Shucheng hesitated for a moment, "She came."
Mu Jiao'en looked up and her brown eyes revealed surprise.
She thought Luo Xue would not appear in public events like today. Could it be that they wanted to make their relationship known to the public? Mu Jiao'en thought.
However, the shock on her face did not last long. She smiled and asked, "Then where is she? Why didn't she come over?"
