Chapter 23

• Upon seeing Lin Xueli, Lin Ziyi calmly stated, "I came to wish Grandma a happy birthday, so naturally, I brought gifts."
• After speaking, she and Ye Tian approached the table with two gift boxes. Lin Ziyi said, "Grandma, Ziyi wishes you eternal youth and endless joy."
• She opened the gift box, revealing a string of ebony Buddhist beads. Ebony was not particularly expensive, and Buddhist beads made from it usually cost only a few thousand yuan.
