Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots

24: Why don’t you go to heaven?

24: Why don’t you go to heaven?

As soon as these words were spoken, the living room fell deathly silent.

Qiao Yufen’s face couldn’t have looked worse.

It turned out that after all this time, the person she was visiting didn’t even recognize her!

Originally, she didn’t want Xu He to have a fourth child.

When she found out Xu He was pregnant again, her first reaction was to suggest she have an abortion.

Xu He’s health was poor, and pregnancy left her unable to care for herself, let alone her three precious grandsons.

But who would have thought Xu He insisted on giving birth?

And what was the result?

She sacrificed the attention her precious grandsons needed only to give birth to a girl!

At three years old, the girl went missing, throwing the whole family into turmoil and leaving her son and grandsons devastated.

Fourteen years passed, and just as everything finally seemed to be getting back on track, this granddaughter had to be found!

Qiao Yufen felt no joy at all!

Xu He hurriedly explained, “Mom, Little Tiangao just came back.

It’s normal for her not to recognize you right away.”

After speaking, she introduced Xia Ye, “This is your grandmother, ah.

You’ve met her when you were little.”

Xia Ye understood, no wonder she didn’t recognize her; it was her grandmother.

Since she was born, Qiao Yufen seldom visited their home.

On the few occasions she did, it was always to see her brothers.

Xia Ye was sure today was no exception.

Xu He’s words did nothing to improve Qiao Yufen’s expression; her gaze fell on Xu He’s arm.

She didn’t ask about the bruise, but noticed the crudely made ointment first, a look of deep disdain in her eyes: “What’s that you’re smearing on?”

Xu He lowered her sleeve and, with great care, capped the ointment and tucked it into her pocket, her tone proud, “This, oh, Little Tiangao specially made this ointment for me…”

She had hoped to let Qiao Yufen know about Xia Ye’s filial piety, but before she could finish speaking, Qiao Yufen’s eyes bulged, “What?

She made it?

My daughter-in-law, really, as the lady of the Xia family, you dare to smear your arm with something of unknown origin?

What if it burns your skin, won’t that bring shame to the Xia family?”

Her tone at the end of her sentence was hook-like, very uncomfortable to listen to.

Xia Ye’s cool gaze lifted, and she glanced at her once, her eyes misting with a cold fog, “Didn’t you hear what Grandma just said?”

“What?” Qiao Yufen frowned.

Xia Ye’s voice was cold, bringing with it a low pressure, “First, it was me who gave it to her, so it’s not of unknown origin.

Second, as I said, it’s an ointment, for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, so how could it possibly burn the skin?”

Qiao Yufen leaned back and laughed out loud, “Promoting blood circulation and removing stasis?

Why don’t you claim to have come from heaven?”

Xia Ye shrugged, “Just came down from heaven.”

To Qiao Yufen, this earnest answer was infuriating.

“All lies!”

Qiao Yufen glared fiercely at Xia Ye.

She just couldn’t bring herself to like this granddaughter, especially with those cold, different-colored eyes–they seemed to portend bad luck!

She recalled that fourteen years ago, Xia Ye, at merely three years old, had glared at her with those eyes and said she would face a bloody disaster in three days.

It nearly drove her mad.

Other people’s granddaughters wished their grandmothers long life, but hers seemed to be cursing her!

And what happened?

Because of this granddaughter’s curse, she actually did trip and hurt her head three days later!

Qiao Yufen wanted to say more, but the kitchen door was suddenly pulled open.

At the same time, a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Although straight men of steel might be inept at cooking, they were smart enough.

After a few failed attempts, they managed to make something quite decent.

Qiao Yufen’s mood instantly improved upon seeing the men emerge from the kitchen, and as if to make sure Xia Ye heard, she said, “Ah, in the end, I still have to count on my grandsons.

Knowing their grandmother was coming, they specially made all these dishes for me!”
