When Jade heard those words, her eyes sparkled. It was so mysterious that it left her bewildered. Opening the box gently, she saw a white flower lying in the box and felt confused. Janet gave me a flower? Thus, she observed it carefully again. The stamens on the flower seemed to glisten—it was definitely no ordinary plant. Then, she glanced at Janet and smiled slightly. “Janet, what is this?”
“It’s a kind of plant. If you make it into a soup, it will be very good for your body.”
She felt even more mystified after hearing what Janet said. What plant is white and can lengthen one’s life? I don’t get it. Scratching her head, a thought flashed through her mind suddenly. A smile appeared in her eyes as she grabbed Janet’s arm. “Janet, could this be the legendary snow lotus?”
Their gazes met, and Janet nodded.
“Uh… Janet, why would you have something like this?” Jade was extremely puzzled. Something like this was very rare nowadays; many people couldn’t buy it even if they were willing to pay an arm and a leg for it, let alone one as large as this. Thus, she anxiously asked, “Janet, could you have been scammed?”
Janet laughed lightly at those words. “I picked it myself. It’s genuine.”
When Jade heard what Janet said, she seemed to recall something. Janet grew up in the countryside. Perhaps, she found it there.
“This is great! I’m so happy!” She smiled from ear to ear. If I bring this out in front of my friends and tell them that my granddaughter gave me this… it’ll be a great bragging point! Just what kind of good deeds did I do in my past life to become Janet’s relative in this life?
“I’m glad you like it!” Janet smiled. Her eyes were filled with gentleness.
Jade made a non-committal sound in reply. She was about to say something else when the door to the living room opened—Brian and Megan were back from the banquet.
“Mommy!” Brian and Megan reflexively greeted the old lady before their gaze shifted to the side. When Megan saw Janet, she felt emotional. Her eyes that were about to close in exhaustion sprang wide open again; she no longer felt sleepy.
“You’re back?” Brian and Megan were quite emotional. It had been a long time since they last saw their daughter.
There was no expression on Janet’s face as she gave them a simple greeting. “Dad. Mom.”
When Megan heard Janet calling her ‘Mom’, she felt happy. Smiling, she said, “I’ll go and cut some fruits for you.”
“No need!” Janet quietly refused. “I’m only here for a while.”
“Okay!” Then, Megan and Brian awkwardly sat down on the sofa. Lowering their heads, they saw the item on the table and asked, “What is this?”
Before Janet could reply, Jade responded. Moreover, her voice was filled with pride. “It’s a snow lotus!”
“What?!” Brian frowned. “Snow lotus?” How did Janet get something like this? Where did it come from?
Meanwhile, Megan seemed doubtful. She raised her head and glanced at Janet, who was expressionless. Her eyes widened slightly. “Janet, where did you get this?”
A snow lotus from the mountains was very rare nowadays. Furthermore, it had extremely high medical and research value. Accordingly, it was very difficult to find one.
“Could you have been scammed?!” Megan couldn’t quite believe that this was a genuine snow lotus.
Jade waved her hand dismissively. “It’s not a scam. Janet picked it herself!”
