Chapter 4: The 300 Million Bracelet

Children shouldn't soak in the bath too long, so the maid, who was timing with a stopwatch, respectfully asked Mianmian to get out when the time was up.

In the mountains, Mianmian had been the youngest of the younger generation, but once she descended to the lower regions, she suddenly became an elder. Her small vanity was instantly satisfied, and her smile hadn't faded since.

The maid gently dried the water off Mianmian's body and wrapped her body and tiny head separately in soft bath towels before carrying Mianmian out of the bathroom.

As soon as they stepped out of the bathroom, Mianmian heard someone else pay her respects.

"Little aunt, your niece-in-law pays her respects to you."

The one who was paying respects was Old Lady Su, who had been in the room putting on makeup. Her short, curly hair was adorned with a golden pearl hairpin, she had few wrinkles on her face, and her whole person had an air of graceful and noble beauty that flowed gently through time.

On seeing her, Mianmian's eyes lit up and she praised with a milky voice, "Niece-in-law is so pretty, prettier than the nephew!"

After speaking, Mianmian instinctively reached into her small bag to pull out a gift for first meeting, but came up empty.

Her big eyes glanced at the small bag placed beside her, and before she could speak, a servant handed over the bag with both hands, "Little grandmother, please."

Mianmian opened the small bag and took out a square little box from inside, then handed Old Lady Su the bracelet that was inside the box.

Joy that she couldn't hold back flashed in Old Lady Su's eyes, but it wasn't because of the bracelet; it was because the little Milk Bun in front of her was just too adorable!

Even if she was of a higher generation, she was still a sweet and cuddly little girl, unlike those two naughty grandsons that made her so angry her blood pressure almost spiked.

She wanted to hug her!

Seeing that Old Lady Su didn't take the bracelet, Mianmian pouted, "Doesn't niece-in-law like Mianmian's gift for first meeting? I picked it out for a long time, you know. If you wear the bracelet to sleep, you'll sleep sweetly every night, oh."

Having said this, she reached into her small bag again to take out something else, thinking of getting the ginseng whiskers.

After all, the big nephew really liked the ginseng whiskers, so this niece-in-law should like them as well, shouldn't she?

Before Mianmian could touch the box with the ginseng whiskers, Old Lady Su carefully apologized, "I like it, I really like it, Little Aunt Mianmian, don't be angry. Your niece-in-law was just so captivated by how adorable you are; it's not because I don't like your gift."

With these words, she finally looked at the green bracelet.

When she saw it, Old Lady Su was stunned.

It turned out to be an imperial green jadeite bracelet of glassy type. At a recent charity auction, a little pendant of the same quality, only the size of a broad bean, was bought by a tycoon from Hong Kong for 300 million.

The reason for such an exorbitant price was not only because nobody wanted to seem ungenerous at the auction, but also because this kind of jade was a rarity that came once in a thousand years.

Old Lady Su had been tempted at the time, considering that a little pendant had nowhere to hang in modern clothing, so she gave up the idea.

Who would have thought that now, Elder Su's granddaughter by his grandson would casually give away such a jadeite to her?

Thinking about what her old man had said, that their little granddaughter did not yet know the decision of her parents to let her stay in the human realm, Old Lady Su felt pained, "Aunt Mianmian, this jade bracelet is so valuable, you should keep it..."

Old Lady Su hadn't finished speaking when Mianmian straightforwardly stuffed the bracelet on her wrist.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you, there are lots more in Mianmian's house."

Old Lady Su was shocked by the unintentional flaunting of wealth by the little Milk Bun. Fearing that the bracelet might fall to the ground, she could only accept it. The little aunt was still young, and she would keep the bracelet in a safe deposit box; later, it could be part of the little aunt's dowry.

Seeing that her niece-in-law had accepted the bracelet and even put it on, Mianmian finally smiled happily. She picked up the strap of her small bag, ducked her towel-wrapped head forward, and attempted to put on the small bag.

When the servant saw this, she gently reminded her, "Little grandmother, the bag hasn't been washed yet, you shouldn't carry it just now."

Mianmian blinked her eyes, "But Mianmian is used to carrying the small bag."

At this point, Old Lady Su reached out, "Little grandmother, let your niece-in-law carry you, is that alright?"

Mianmian nodded, released the suspenders, and stretched out her little hand towards Old Lady Su.

Old Lady Su gently embraced Mianmian in her arms, her eyes curving into a smile. The freshly-bathed Milk Bun was fragrant all over, and holding her felt like pure bliss.

She signaled the servant to follow with the small bag and walked towards the wardrobe in the Princess Room.

Another servant quickly opened the door to the wardrobe.

In the hundred square meter space, many little girls' dresses hung, each one featuring the colors that children's clothes should have.

These dresses were all limited edition pieces that Old Lady Su had carefully chosen when selecting clothes for her two grandsons earlier this year, fantasizing about dressing up her granddaughter.

Now, while the granddaughter was not yet awaited, a little Milk Bun auntie had arrived, and there were some pretty dresses suitable for a three-year-old's size.

Among the many lovely clothes, Mianmian chose a sky-blue puffy dress, primarily because the dress also came with a white bunny crossbody bag.

Once dressed, she stood in front of the mirror and twirled several times, extremely happy!

Her mom liked making her traditional Chinese dresses, and this was her first time wearing this style of little dress, feeling like she really looked as beautiful as a little fairy.

After twirling around, Mianmian turned her head to look at Old Lady Su, her big eyes blinking expectantly.

Old Lady Su pursed her lips and smiled, "Mm, our Aunt Mianmian has such great taste, this dress is so pretty!"

No sooner had she spoken than a servant outside reminded, "Old Lady, Elder Su says the banquet is about to start."

Upon hearing the word banquet, Mianmian's eyes lit up. Dad and mom had mentioned the banquet with lots of delicious food, and it was finally about to begin. After eating, she could go home!

Looking at herself in the mirror with her hair down, she touched her hair, "Auntie, could you help Mianmian braid her hair?"

Old Lady Su walked over with a smile and braided Mianmian's hair into a princess style.

Mianmian was even happier, put everything from the cloth bag into the little bunny bag, and happily followed Old Lady Su to the Banquet Hall.

To facilitate announcements and activities by the host family, the Su Family's Banquet Hall was designed with two levels, featuring a platform much higher than the first floor.

At this moment, Mianmian was held by Old Lady Su and stood on the platform.

"Aunt Mianmian, that tallest one over there is your grand-nephew Su Chenjin. He has loved money since he was young, so he's now in charge of all the Su family's business," Old Lady Su said, holding Mianmian and introducing her cheerily.

The description "the tallest one" made it easy to spot Su Chenjin. Despite the distance across two floors making the details of his face unclear, his appearance was undeniably handsome.

She wanted to call out to her grand-nephew, but was afraid that a loud voice would not befit a lady, so she asked her aunt, "When will my grand-nephew come up?"

Old Lady Su explained, "He'll come up in a bit. The Elder said, when your four nephews arrive home, he will have them pay their respects to you together."

Mianmian thought about it and decided it made sense; having them line up and greet her one by one would be neater and she wouldn't have to rummage through her small bag that many times. But why did they have to come from outside when the Su family's house was so big?

"Why don't my grand-nephews and nieces live with you?" Mianmian asked the question innocently.

Listening to the naive words of the little aunt, Old Lady Su sighed, "They are too busy with work, so they don't come home often. The second is an artist and used to live at home, but a few days ago the twin grandsons suddenly started throwing a fuss saying there were ghosts in the house, insisting on moving out, and now they haven't come back since moving."

Mianmian listened and said earnestly, "Then Mianmian will help you check for ghosts later. Mianmian is good at dealing with ghosts."

After saying this, she even waved her little fists around.

As she thought about catching the ghosts and then going back to the mountains right away, five tall and handsome men with different looks walked in through the door.

The long-awaiting Elder Su cracked a slight smile; it was time to introduce these rascals to their auntie.
