Nobody Wants It

Old Madam Li looked at Gu Hanhan and said, “Hanhan, I remember that you went abroad before. When did you return? Will you go back in the future?”
“Grandma Li, it wouldn’t be good to stay abroad for so long,” Gu Hanhan shook her head and said, “Besides, people always return to their roots.”
Old Madam Li nodded and said, “That’s true; staying so long overseas isn’t good. Do you have a partner now?”
The girl shyly replied, “Grandma Li, I’m quite miserable right now, since nobody wants me.”
“You’re such a beautiful girl; you must be speaking nonsense,” said Old Madam Li with a smile.
“No, I’m not lying,” Gu Hanhan shook her head.
At this moment, a girl beside Mrs. Li said, “Didn’t Miss Gu have a scandal with my uncle? I thought you two were really together.”
Mrs. Li immediately said, “Han Xiaoxiao, don’t talk nonsense.”
She frowned. This niece of hers didn’t know how to read the situation at all.
Han Xiaoxiao innocently replied, “Aunt, I didn’t say anything wrong,” said Han Xiaoxiao innocently. That time, they said that the Lis and Gus were connected by marriage, and it was confirmed. I took it seriously.”
Gu Hanhan looked a little dissatisfied and wanted to retort. However, she wouldn’t be able to go back if she ruined her image in front of Old Madam Li. Thus, she could only endure it.
Old Madam Gu was also very upset. This scandal nearly caused the Gu family to go bankrupt. Now that it was mentioned, wasn’t it equivalent to slapping her family in the face?
Old Madam Li smiled and replied, “Aiya, nowadays, entertainment reporters are willing to write anything to gain public attention. They’ve already said before it was just a scandal, so it’s obviously false. Don’t spout nonsense in the future.”
When Gu Hanhan heard this, she felt very awkward. Did Old Madam Li not approve of her?
“Grandma Li, the rumors seemed so true, so I took it seriously,” said Han Xiaoxiao playfully.
She naturally knew it was all fake, since Li Yu had already explained it clearly in public. How could she not know?
Mrs. Li knew what kind of person her niece was. If she continued shaming the Gus on such an occasion, it’d be equivalent to bringing trouble to the Lis. She was very angry.
However, she couldn’t say anything now. She could only say apologetically, “Old Madam Gu, Miss Gu, my niece is spoiled. Please don’t take her words to heart.”
Old Madam Gu replied, “It was indeed funny before. However, both families have already explained to the media. It’s really inappropriate for Miss Han to use this matter to mock my family.”
Mrs. Li glanced at her niece and said, “Xiaoxiao, hurry up and apologize to Old Madam Gu and Miss Gu.”
Having achieved her goal, Han Xiaoxiao also pretended to be obedient.
“Old Madam Gu, Miss Gu, I don’t usually watch the news, so I didn’t know that matter was already cleared up,” she said. “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to mock the Gu family.”
“You’re still a good child.” A cold light flashed in Old Madam Gu’s eyes. “You know your mistakes and can change.”
“I’m very sorry, Miss Gu. I didn’t mean it,” Han Xiaoxiao said pitifully.
Gu Hanhan didn’t believe this girl. However, if she didn’t forgive her on such an occasion, many people would call her petty and unpresentable.
She could only say, “You’ve already apologized. I’m not petty, but I still have to give you a piece of advice; don’t always speak without restraint. It’s easy to get into trouble.”
“Alright, thank you for your reminder, Miss Gu,” Han Xiaoxiao said obediently.
Seeing her like this, Gu Hanhan was disgusted, but she couldn’t say anything. ***
Jiang Ling’er arrived at the banquet at around 10 o’clock with a gift.
She walked up to Old Madam Li and handed it over.
She said, “I wish Grandma Li good health, peace, happiness, and longevity.”
Old Madam Li happily accepted the gift. She said as she unwrapped it, “Let me see what surprise my precious Ling’er has given me.”
When everyone saw this, they were all shocked. How could Old Madam Li have such a good relationship with the Jiang family’s daughter? She was actually opening the gift immediately. Wasn’t she afraid the gift would be lacking and embarrass the Jiangs?
Or did Old Madam Li do this because she wanted to slap the Jiangs in the face? Everyone looked at her in confusion.
When she opened the gift, Old Madam Li was pleasantly surprised.
Everyone saw that it was a string of rare rosewood prayer beads. Its fragrance made everyone feel refreshed and comfortable..
