Jiang Alls expression froze, and she coughed twice to cover it up. She turned her eyes back to the front. Seeing this, Zou Bai also retracted his gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.

Old Madam Zou was the most senior among them. Li Mei and Jiang Hai sat side by side, and Wen Li sat on the other side of Old Madam Zou. The two juniors stood behind their respective mothers.

Old Madam Zou looked at Jiang An and reached out her hand to her. She said gently, Good child, come forward and let me take a look.

When Jiang An saw Li Mei nod slightly at her, she went forward and grabbed Old Madam Zous hand. She greeted her obediently, Madam.

Old Madam Zou smiled and nodded. She looked Jiang An up and down. Youve looked like a porcelain doll since you were young. You indeed grew up to be a beauty.

After saying that, Old Madam Zou looked at the Jiang couple and teased, Its not that I want to say this, but the two of you didnt even say anything about the joyous occasion of finding Anan. When I heard about it, I could only thicken my skin and come over directly. Fortunately, 1 wasnt stopped and chased out. Otherwise, once I get angry, I will definitely stay at your house for a few days.

Li Mei could tell that Old Madam Zou was joking, but she still had to explain clearly. The exaggerated smile on her face faded a little, but it became even more sincere. Madam, ever since my father-in-law pa.s.sed on, you and Master Zou have slowly retired to the farm in the mountains to enjoy the peaceful life there. We felt it was not in our place to send invitations to your residence.

Old Madam Zou smiled and patted Li Meis arm. You and Jiang Hai are still the same. Jiang Hai, I watched you grow up. Whether you are a climber, others might not know, but I know!

Must I come personally to give you face?

Jiang Hai hurriedly replied, Old Madam, 1 definitely dont dare to have such intentions.

When Wen Li saw this, she smiled and interrupted, If you dont dare to have one, then take the initiative to send us an invitation next time.

When Li Mei and Jiang Hai heard this, they knew that the Zou family was taking the initiative to express their friends.h.i.+p. Naturally, they were happy. Sigh, well thicken our skin and invite you next time.

Madam Zou looked at Jiang An again. If I remember correctly, Anan is almost 27 years old this year. Sigh, fate really makes fools of people. If she hadnt been lost, she wouldnt have met such an irresponsible man.

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Ans face. Although my marriage experience wasnt good, fortunately, I met my parents. It could be considered a blessing in disguise. This might be the purpose of the heavens letting me meet my ex-husband.

When Madam Zou heard this, she nodded in admiration. This way of thinking is very good. Instead of complaining about internal strife and all your problems, its better to face it with a positive att.i.tude. As long as our spirits are up, everything will become better. When the heavens close a door, they will definitely leave a window open.

As she spoke, Old Madam Zou took off the jade bracelet she was wearing and put it on Jiang Ans hand. Anan, this is a greeting gift from me.

Jiang An could tell at a glance that this violet jade bracelet was expensive. She subconsciously looked at her parents.

When Li Mei saw the bracelet, she was first shocked, then hesitated for a moment. However, she did not let Jiang An refuse. Instead, she said in a flattered manner, Madam, youre too kind! 1 remember that you were wearing it already the moment I married into the Jiang family. Its already used to being with you. Jiang An, quickly take it off and help Old Madam put it on.

Old Madam Zou looked displeased and stopped Jiang An. No matter how used she is, shes still an inanimate object. If Anan hadnt been lost, 1 might have given this bracelet to her long ago.

After she finished speaking, Old Madam Zou deliberately pouted. Dont think that I dont know. My little Mei, youve just become distant from us. I still remember the first time you followed Jiang Hai to our house to pay New Year greetings. You dared to ask me for something. Now that weve been friends for so many years, you dont even dare to accept my gift!

Sad! Tragedy! Youre treating me like an outsider!

This sentence, and her addressing Li Mei the way she used to, unknowingly rekindled the relations.h.i.+p between the two families.

When Li Mei saw Old Madam Zou acting like an old child, she chuckled. 1 was young and insensible. You tolerated me. If it were anyone else, they would probably want to beat me up with a stick. Anan, since Old Madam gave it to you, accept it.

Jiang An quickly thanked her. Thank you, Old Madam..
