They two shopped for a while, ate lunch outside and watched a movie in the afternoon.

Then they went home separately, because Liuli needed to be home before 4 pm.

“Mom, I am home!” Liuli put down her bag and shouted at the kitchen.

Then She poured herself a cup of water.

“Liuli, your Grandma asks you to go and see her when you are back.” Lin Yu walked out of the kitchen and said.

“Okay!” Liuli answered, drank the water, put down the cup and headed towards

Grandma s room.

After knocking at the door, Liuli opened it and said with a smile.

“Grandma, 1 am home!”

“Here you are, come in!” Grandma Yu, who was embroidering the pillow outfit, looked up and greeted Liuli.

Liuli walked in, closed the door and sat down upon the armrest of the sofa.

“Grandma, the embroidery is not yet done, is it?”

“It should be done by tomorrow!” She pushed the embroidery rack aside and took off her reading glasses.

“Grandma, it is very difficult to make the embroidery, don’t get yourself stressed.”

“You can even give it to me after I am married!” Liuli said with heartache.

“You are talking nonsense again. This is your dowry, and you must get it before you get married.” Grandma answered with a smile.

“But I don’t want you to work so hard, Grandma!” Liuli said as she had her arms around Grandma Yu.

“It is okay, I am very happy to do this for you!”

“You stayed at Jingxing’s place yesterday?” Grandma Yu asked with a smile.

“Grandma, please.”

“I was just spending the night at the Tang family, nothing serious is happening!” Liuli said quickly.

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Also, you and Jingxing are getting married soon!”

“That is totally normal!” Grandma said, sounding open-minded.

“Grandma, I am still innocent!” Liuli protested, flushing.

“Okay, okay, my Liuli is a good girl.” Grandma Yu consoled her.

“Liuli, help me to open the left drawer, the key is here.”

Grandma Yu took out an old key from her pocket and passed it to Liuli.

“Okay!” Liuli answered and opened the drawer with the key.

“There is a jewelry box inside, please get it for me.”

Liuli realized that there was indeed a dark jewelry box in the drawer. It was beautifully-carved, but she could tell that it had been there for a long time.

Liuli carefully took out the jewelry box, returned with it and passed it to Grandma Yu.

Grandma accepted the jewelry box, took out the handkerchief and wiped it carefully.

Liuli was reminded of how Grandma wiped Grandpa’s tombstone the day before.

She pursed her lips and suddenly felt like crying.

Grandma Yu opened the jewelry box and passed it to Liuli.

Only now did Liuli realize that there was a whole set of jade ornaments inside the box.

And she had never seen any of these before.

“Grandma…”

Liuli looked at Grandma in confusion.

“It belongs to your Grandpa Tang!”

“Oh, the wedding presents?” Liuli asked.

But when the Tang family came to make the betrothal, she did not seem to have seen this box then!

“It used to be a wedding present.” Grandma continued.

Liuli looked at Grandma in confusion.

“That was decades ago, when I was just 14 years old. I did not even know your grandpa at that time.”

“The Tang family’s betrothal gifts included this set of family heirlooms…”

Grandma Yu said emotionally as she was reminded of the past.

Liuli was dumbfounded. Decades ago?

Grandma did not even know Grandpa Tang back then. In other words, her father was nowhere to be seen!

Not to mention her!

For one moment, Liuli had no idea what Grandma meant.

“Later, something happened. Me and my family were forced to move out of the old town.”

“Then I was left alone in the family.”

“But your grandpa saved me.”

“When the situation was settled, I went back to the old town to ask about the Tang family, but there was no news.”

“Then I married your grandpa.”

“Before long, your grandpa joined the army.”

“After your grandpa retired from the army, your Grandpa Tang came to us and asked for help. Only then did 1 know that your grandpa and Grandpa Tang were in a good relationship with each other.”

She had intended to return the set of jewelry to Grandpa Tang, but she did not in the end.

She said that when the Yu Family and the Tang Family had alliance, she could attach this as a dowry with the bride.

“I will give you this set of jewelry, and you can bring it back to the Tang family.” Grandma Yu said slowly, closed the box and passed it to Liuli.

Liuli sensed that the jewelry box was quite heavy.

“Liuli…”

“Don’t blame Grandma for being ruthless for marrying you off to the Tang family at such a young age.”

“For one thing, your grandpa and I did owe the Tang Family a big favor.”

“Your grandpa said that as long as he had a granddaughter…

“The Tang family would want to marry her to Jingxing, the grandson of the Tang family.”

“He could not go back on his words, otherwise he would not feel at ease even when he passed away.”

“On the other hand, Grandpa Tang liked you and hoped that you could marry his grandson.”

“Although you had just met a few times, Jingxing turns out to be a calm and modest child.”

“He is older, but he should know how to dote on you.”

“You two seem to be going on very well with each other..”
