Chapter 36 – The Bracelet Possessed The Ability To Pick Its Rightful Owner (1)
“Mom.”
Looking at her son who rarely comes to talk to her, Fang JunRong had a pretty good idea about the purpose of his visit. Perhaps, because it had already been a while since her rebirth, she could now suppress her seeping hatred much better now and was able to talk to him in a mild and tender tone.
“What is it? I heard you have been interning at work. Is it tiring? If it’s too tiring, then take some time off. Your health is the most important.” She put up the perfect loving mother front, appearing just like she used to be.
Li ShiZe immediately let out a sigh of relief from the way she looked. He wasn’t someone that had no EQ. He did not jump straight into the topic of the bracelet. Rather, he started talking about Li XinYun’s birthday banquet that was upcoming in a few weeks. He looked like a brother who was distant in appearance but actually cared a lot about his sister.
Nevertheless, Fang JunRong wouldn’t be fooled again. Li ShiZe had been very nice to both her and her daughter before Jiang YaGe’s arrival. But once he was in love with Jiang YaGe, the only thing that was left inside of him was his love for her, he had no more affection left for his family. How else would he be able to send his mother to the mental institution and watch coldly when his own sister became the plaything of someone else and finally ended up committing suicide?
Li ShiZe spent about 15 minutes or so chitchatting before he moved onto his real purpose.
“Did Mom used to have a very pretty jade bracelet? How come I haven’t seen you wearing it for a while?”
Fang JunRong, who had been anticipating this, wasn’t surprised by it at all. She casually said, “I have quite a few jade bracelets. Which one are you talking about?” She had no shortage of jewelry.
Li ShiZe said, “The bright green one with a pattern that resembles a mountain.” If his mother barely ever worn it, it must not be something very important. She most likely wouldn’t object too much if he was to ask her for it.
Fang JunRong gave a pondering look for a while before she seemingly suddenly realized which one he was referring to. “Oh, that bracelet…” She paused for a while and kept the suspense for as long as possible before she slowly said, “I took it with me when I went on a trip with some friends and lost it. I wasn’t able to find it again.”
“I have a few more bracelets, some even better than that one. Why don’t you pick a different one?”
As the heir of the Li’s, Li ShiZe was in no shortage of money and never cared too much about jewellery. He wouldn’t have come to ask his mother for it if it wasn’t for Jiang YaGe. Hearing her words, he couldn’t help but frown and his volume went up. “You lost it? How did that happen?”
Fang JunRong sighed and said, “I am not sure. I only realized it when I was unpacking after the trip. Why do you ask about it all of a sudden?”
Li ShiZe tightened his lips a bit and made up some random reasons. “I like it a lot and thought it’d go with an outfit.”
All he could think of was Jiang YaGe’s crying face once she found out that the bracelet was lost. He felt very frustrated. Once she found out about it, she would for sure hide under the blanket and cry again.
As the formidable heir of the Li’s, he couldn’t so much as protect the smile of a girl.
He felt a budding disgruntledness inside of him. Why did his mom need to take the bracelet with her on a trip? Now he’d have to go and see if he’d be able to find a similar one elsewhere.
As he was feeling irritated, he didn’t stay to chat more but quickly looked for an excuse and left. He was still thinking about where and how he could find a suitable bracelet.
Fang JunRong grumbled to herself. It was lucky that she no longer had any feelings toward her BBQ-Pork son; otherwise, how hurt would she be seeing him being so BBQ-pork like?
She also started pondering about maybe having someone make a duplicate of it, so she could set up Jiang YaGe and Li ShiZe.
But could you really set up a slab of BBQ pork?
