Chapter 165 – You were the one that sent me that jade bracelet, right? (3)
If you were to ask how the little villain in the novel had gone down the crooked path, Lu Shaoyan would definitely be a character on that long, crooked path.
This person harbored evil intentions from that start. How could you have expectations that he would be a good role model?
On the side, Old Master Lu scolded while smiling, “Beichuan already has a child. Take a look at yourself. You’re still single. When are you going to find a wife?”
Lu Shaoyan smiled. “I already have a great-nephew. Why would I need a wife?”
“Your brat!” His reply riled up Old Master Lu,
“Dad, don’t be angry. Beichuan is successful in his career, and he has a perfect family. You should be content with that. I don’t have Beichuan’s good fortune. I’ll just enjoy my life and live my life as I please.” After saying that, he lowered his head to tease Zhouzhou.
Zhouzhuo seemed to like his great-uncle a lot. It didn’t take long for him to laugh and move his hands and feet in joy.
Ye Zhen’s eyelids twitched. She stepped forward to interrupt Lu Shaoyan. “Uncle, please give me Zhouzhou. It’s his feeding time.”
Lu Shaoyan glanced at Zhouzhou and made a funny face at him before handing him to Ye Zhen.
She said that it was Zhouzhou’s feeding time, but it was only an excuse. Ye Zhen finally felt a bit more at ease after she got Zhouzhou back. Before she could figure out Lu Shaoyan’s nature, it was best to be careful.
Before leaving the living room, Ye Zhen looked at Old Master Lu who never stopped laughing at his youngest son’s words, then she took a glance at Lu Beichuan. Seeing that his expression didn’t look that relaxed, she was relieved.
Regardless of whether Lu Beichuan believed her or not, as long as he was guarded against Lu Shaoyan, it would no longer be easy for Lu Shaoyan to accomplish his goals.

After smiling and chatting with the guests for a long time, Ye Zhen was exhausted. She slipped away to a small corridor that had many green plants to take a breather. The plant’s dense green leaves provided concealment, and she could also see the lake behind the villa from here.
“Congratulations on becoming a mother.”
A familiar voice came from behind her. Ye Zhen’s heart jumped. She suddenly had a bad premonition. When she turned to look, sure enough, it was Lin Zhan.
“You... Why are you here?” Ye Zhen looked around.
Lin Zhan smiled. “That’s not important. I just came over here to congratulate you.”
Ye Zhen furrowed her brow and felt the beginnings of a bad headache. How could Lin Zhan not be clear about their current positions? There were so many people here and possible eyes looking in this direction. Why did he seek her out when she was alone? Was he really not worried about gossip?
However, seeing Lin Zhan again, Ye Zhen immediately thought of that blood jade bracelet.
“You were the one that sent me that jade bracelet, right? Wait here, I’ll go get it and return it to you.”
“No need,” Lin Zhan said, “That jade bracelet was originally for you.”
“Are you joking?”
Lin Zhan didn’t look like he was joking at all. “I’m not. When you were taking my mom when she was in the hospital, she wanted to give you that bracelet. So, I’m just returning the bracelet to its intended owner.”
Ye Zhen stood frozen in place. For a while, she said nothing.
This was too ambiguous. It was hard to respond.
She carefully considered her words before seriously saying to Lin Zhan, “Lin Zhan, did you know that “Ye Zhen” died the moment that you and my older sister ran off together? Since you chose Ye Qing back then, why bother looking for me now? You should give that bracelet to Ye Qing.”
In the novel, “Ye Zhen” had always regarded Lin Zhan as her last hope. He was the only light in her dark and gray world. But in the moment that Lin Zhan and Ye Qing had run off together, that light was extinguished. Her life fell into complete darkness.
And so, Ye Zhen couldn’t ask for this bracelet, nor was she qualified to ask for it.
Not far away, Lu Beichuan was holding a glass of red wine. Lurking in the shadows, he watched the two people in the corridor that provided concealment from most eyes as he silently finished his glass of wine.
