Chapter 239

After entering Laozhai, several gazes were cast over.

Shu Xia saw Qiao Muting first.

Qiao Muting was wearing a light gray tracksuit today, which gave off a sense of refreshing, youthful energy.

He looked over toward her.

His gaze held a hint of gentleness.

Shu Xia felt this was an illusion, likely brought out by the youthful air he had today.

Or perhaps, it was the display of deep affection between a married couple in front of Qiao Nainai.

She was not to be outdone and gazed back at him with deep affection.

Qiao Muting's lips curled slightly, imperceptibly; she was acting so well that anyone who didn't know better would think the two of them were inseparable.

However...

His gaze paused for a few seconds on her affectionate eyes.

When she smiled, her eyes curved, as if starlight were flickering within them, truly looking as if she genuinely liked him.

His eyes deepened.

"Xia Xia, come over here quickly." Upon seeing Shu Xia, Qiao Nainai immediately spoke to her affectionately.

Shu Xia walked over immediately, "Grandmother."

"You should have met your Grandpa Ding; your Grandpa Ding says that the ancestral painting of his is being restored by you."

After Shu Xia walked over, Qiao Nainai looked at Grandpa Ding to introduce him to Shu Xia.

"Grandpa Ding."

Then she looked at Qin Lao, who was to the side, and said, "Grandpa Qin."

Grandpa Ding nodded with a chuckle, "When I saw her before, I even wanted to introduce my grandson to her, but I didn't expect her to be your granddaughter-in-law. And that painting of mine really couldn't find anyone to restore it; even someone as capable as Gu Hua said it couldn't be restored. I really didn't expect that young people nowadays are getting more and more capable. You really have good luck to have such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law!"

The tone of these words was full of regret.

If she were truly his own granddaughter-in-law, he would definitely take her out to show off every day.

And he would guarantee that not a single item in his house was a fake, and if anything broke, it could be restored to its original state.

"That goes without saying; my granddaughter-in-law isn't something others can just have a duplicate of if they want one. I don't know how many duplicates other girls have, but our Xia Xia is one of a kind." Qiao Nainai was incomparably proud.

After finishing, she even glanced at her grandson.

If Qiao Muting weren't her grandson, she would even feel that Qiao Muting was wasting Xia Xia; Xia Xia actually deserved better, after all, Qiao Muting had many issues and was taciturn—to put it nicely, it was being ascetic, but to put it bluntly, it was a personality flaw.

In any case, the contrast was sharp; Xia Xia was good in every way!

"Yes, Xia Xia is truly excellent. Many of the things in my pile that I thought were treasures were fakes. Being cheated out of money is nothing, it's just that I wasted a lot of sentiment and liked them for so long in vain." Qin Lao also spoke up.

The three of them praised Shu Xia until she felt a bit embarrassed.

Although her skin wasn't that thin, she couldn't handle being praised constantly by her elders.

And under Qiao Nainai's round of praise, she could feel Qiao Muting looking at her.

That look was as if he were scrutinizing her, scrutinizing whether she was as good as the three elders said.

Shu Xia swept a glance at Qiao Muting, telling him not to look at her anymore.

Qiao Muting raised an eyebrow and walked to Shu Xia's side.

The two of them standing together were a very well-matched and pleasing sight.
