Chapter 355: Chapter 354: (5 more updates)

The day before she was to leave, Xu Niannian suddenly remembered something very important.

The finger guard.

Her grandmother’s jade finger ring was still with Wu Lan.

Xu Niannian chastised herself by patting her forehead. How could she forget something like that?

Damn it.

She hurried back to the Jin Family’s home, and luckily, Wu Lan hadn’t gone anywhere; she was still at home.

Upon seeing Xu Niannian, Wu Lan smiled, "Niannian is back."

Actually, Xu Niannian felt quite embarrassed about the matter. After all, it was an engagement gift, and she felt awkward asking for it back at this time.

"Mom, I have something to discuss with you."

"Hmm, go ahead," Wu Lan said with a beaming smile.

Wu Lan was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law and treated Xu Niannian very kindly, cherishing her like her own precious daughter.

The nicer Wu Lan’s attitude, the harder it was for Xu Niannian to speak up.

But she had to talk about it anyway.

She couldn’t let her granny be cut off from her grandfather’s memory because of her own embarrassment.

She could see how much her granny missed her grandpa, and getting the jade finger ring back would give her granny another memory. It might even make her happier.

With that thought, Xu Niannian gathered her courage and looked resolutely at Wu Lan, "Mom, when Jin Yu and I got engaged, my grandmother gave you a jade finger ring. Do you still have it?"

Wu Lan paused for a moment. The finger guard?

She did remember, but what did she mean by bringing this up?

Could she be thinking that Wu Lan lost it?

After thinking for a while, Wu Lan smiled, "It’s here. What’s the matter, Niannian? Is something wrong?"

"That finger guard, mom, could you give it back to me?" Xu Niannian bit her lip. "I know this is really bad, but that finger guard was left by my grandpa to my grandma. You should know, my grandpa has passed away, and my grandma misses him a lot, so she wants the finger guard back."

It was indeed not nice to ask for the engagement gift back. After a moment of thought, Xu Niannian added, "Afterward, I’ll buy another one for you, okay?"

Wu Lan was startled at first, then she laughed, "So that’s it. You silly girl, why are you embarrassed? We’re all family here. The engagement gift was meant for you and Jin Yu. I also forgot to give it to you."

"You also don’t need to say you’ll buy another one for me. We are a family; we don’t sweat the small stuff."

Wu Lan said cheerfully, "If you really want to make it up to me, then hurry up and give me a chubby grandson to hold."

Xu Niannian: "..."

She really can’t go three sentences without mentioning having a grandson.

But Xu Niannian could tell that Wu Lan was just trying to make her feel at ease by joking like that.

Xu Niannian joined in the laughter, "Thank you, mom."

"All right, I’ll go upstairs and fetch it for you right now," Wu Lan said and went upstairs.

Xu Niannian waited downstairs, and in a short while, Wu Lan ran down frantically, rummaging through the living room, sweating profusely.

Seeing Wu Lan acting like this, Xu Niannian’s heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.

The finger guard couldn’t be lost, could it?

Wu Lan quickly provided the answer.

"Where did it go? I clearly remember putting it on the table in the room."

"Mom, is the finger guard missing?" Xu Niannian asked anxiously.

Hearing Xu Niannian’s question, Wu Lan immediately looked embarrassed and apologetically said, "Niannian, let me look for it again, I’m sure it can be found."

Upon hearing this, Xu Niannian suddenly felt dizzy.

But she couldn’t blame Wu Lan.

Taking back an engagement gift was already quite unreasonable.

Wu Lan didn’t refuse or criticize her; she already came across as a very approachable mother-in-law.

How could she possibly blame Wu Lan for a momentary oversight?

The finger guard was very important to her granny, and Xu Niannian was getting anxious, "Mom, are you sure you brought it home?"

"Yes, I do remember that," Wu Lan said awkwardly. "I just forgot where I put it for the moment. Don’t worry; as long as it’s in the house, it certainly won’t be lost. As soon as I find it, I’ll give it to you."

With matters having come to this, Xu Niannian was helpless.

After looking with Wu Lan for a while longer and still not finding it, Xu Niannian finally let out a sigh and said, "Mom, don’t bother."

If it was somewhere in the house, it was probably just in some corner. Since she was already troubling others, how could she have the nerve to keep them searching?

She would just look for it slowly when she came back.

＊

Xu Niannian was about to leave the capital, and Jin Yu was particularly reluctant to part with her, so he took a leave of absence to see her off personally.

Jin Ruiyang also came along.

As for why he came, he couldn’t say.

He just felt like coming, so he did.

Jin Yu particularly wanted to smack Jin Ruiyang; he and his wife were about to be apart, yet this guy didn’t have any self-awareness.

Always thinking of intruding.

Aside from Jin Ruiyang, Xu Sisi and Hu Yue were also in the car.

Even if Jin Ruiyang hadn’t come, Jin Yu wouldn’t have been able to do much with Xu Niannian anyway.

So other than being internally annoyed, Jin Yu didn’t refuse Jin Ruiyang from coming along.

At the station, Jin Yu saw the crowded passageways and pinched Xu Niannian’s earlobe, "Remember to come over early."

"Alright, I’ll just be gone for less than a month and then come over. You should head back now."

Jin Yu immediately clicked his tongue. He was loath to part with her, yet this girl was rushing him out the door.

Was she so eager to be apart from him?
