Old Madam Huo looked at Ye Wen in confusion. Ye Wen immediately smiled and said, “Old Madam, this gift is too expensive. Yinyin is still young and can’t withstand such extravagance. As a little girl, she just needs to wear some light and fashionable jewelry. Don’t you think so?”

Old Madam Huo immediately understood that Ye Wen was rejecting the Huo Family. She was not angry and only smiled and said, “It’s not anything valuable. It’s just for Yinyin to play with.”

Ye Wen glanced at the bracelet and sneered in her heart. Zhao Ning had worn this bracelet since she was young. It was exclusive to the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family.

If Lin Yin accepted it today, it meant that she had tacitly agreed to her relationship with the Huo Family. It would probably be difficult for her to look for in-laws in the future.

Back then, Old Madam Huo had used this bracelet to settle on Zhao Ning early on, allowing Zhao Ning to be crowned as Huo Huai’s fiancée throughout her adolescence. Fortunately, Zhao Ning also liked Huo Huai back then, so it was fine.

Unfortunately, there was still a tragedy in the end. A beauty’s life was short.

As the two of them were in a deadlock, a loud voice suddenly came from the door. “Yue Shan! You have to admit your age when you’re old. Young girls won’t like your gifts.”

Everyone’s gaze instantly turned to the door. Lu Yan was helping Old Master Lu Xian in.

Ye Wen looked at Mu Cheng, who blinked at her. Ye Wen immediately knew that Mu Cheng had deliberately let Old Master Lu Xian in.

The relationship between Old Master Lu, Lu Xian, and Old Madam Huo, Yue Shan, was very subtle. The two of them could be considered to have grown up together, but the two of them had never gotten along since they were young.

Therefore, as long as Lu Xian was around, it was impossible for Yue Shan to do anything today. Of course, Yue Shan would ruin whatever Lu Xian wanted to do.

Ye Wen and Mu Cheng stood up in unison and greeted Lu Xian, “Uncle Lu!”

“Lu Xian, what are you doing here? What does what I’m giving have to do with an old man like you?” Yue Shan saw that Lu Xian was also retorting rudely and

still held Lin Yin’s hand unwillingly.

Lu Xian glanced at the bracelet that Yue Shan had given Lin Yin and snorted. ‘You’re already so old. Watch your words. There’s still a junior here. Why are you still so irritable? You haven’t changed at all since you were young. No wonder the younger generation in this circle is afraid of you. Everyone says that you have a bad temper!”

Yue Shan couldn’t be bothered with Lu Xian. She just retracted her gaze and looked at Lin Yin. “Yinyin, I’m giving you this gift because I really like you. Do you want to accept it?”

Lu Xian sat on the sofa at the side and said sarcastically, “Yue Shan, it’s enough to play some tricks once. Back then, you used a bracelet to trap that little girl, Zhao Ning, so that she could become the Huo Family’s unmarried daughter-in-law at such a young age. Why? Are you picking on young girls because they’re young and insensible?”

Yue Shan was so angry that she turned around and stared at Lu Xian. Her tone was cold. “Lu Xian, are you here to cause trouble for me today? If you are, please find another day. When I’m free, I’ll fight you properly. But now, shut your dog mouth. Why are you as annoying as ever? The fox may grow gray but never good!”

Other than Yue Shan and Lu Xian, the others present were all juniors. They were too embarrassed to interrupt the argument between the elders.

Lin Yin and Lu Yan secretly looked at each other. The two of them found it a little funny. This was the first time they had seen their elders attack each other so childishly.

This was also the first time Huo Ge had seen his Grandma so lacking in manners and scolding others like this. Lu Xian and his Grandma must have been at odds when they were young.

Ye Wen laughed in her heart. Then, she went forward and said to Yue Shan with a troubled expression, “Old Madam, I know you really like Yinyin, but Yinyin is still too young. She’s too young to hold the extravagance.”

Yue Shan knew that with Lu Xian around today, she would not be able to give this bracelet away no matter what. Hence, she used Ye Wen’s ladder to get down. She put away the bracelet and smiled. “Mrs. Mu, you’re so considerate. It’s been too long since I interacted with the outside world, so I don’t know the fashionable style that little girls like now.”

Ye Wen heaved a sigh of relief, but she pulled Lin Yin’s hand out of Old Madam

Huo’s hand forcefully. She smiled at Lin Yin and said, “Yinyin, look how much Grandma Huo likes you. You’re just the apple of the old lady’s eye.”

When Old Madam Huo heard Ye Wen’s clear-cut words about Lin Yin and Huo Ge, she looked at Huo Ge with a smile and sighed in her heart. It seemed like her grandson’s path of courtship was too far away..
