Chapter 146 She was totally innocent (1)

Ye Zhen remembered this blood red jade bracelet very well. Lin Zhans bracelet had been mentioned many times in the novel.

Lin Zhans mother had been born into a literary family. She happened to meet Lu Shaoren, that playboy. Under Lu Shaorens smooth talking, she quickly fell in love and became pregnant with his son. While promising that he would marry her, Lu Shaoren continued messing around with other women. It was only after Lin Zhans mother had given birth to him that she saw Lu Shaorens true colors.

Since then, Mother Lin had cleanly broken off with Lu Shaoren and raised Lin Zhan by herself.

The Lins had passed on this blood red jade bracelet from one generation to the next. No matter how hard or exhausting her life was, Mother Lin never considered pawning this bracelet for money. On her deathbed, she had given this bracelet to Lin Zhan and repeatedly implored him to give this bracelet to his beloved in the future. This was the only gift she had prepared for her future daughter-in-law.

So naturally, after Lin Zhan and Ye Qing got married in the novel, Lin Zhan gave this blood red jade bracelet to Ye Qing.

There was a lot written about Ye Qing and this blood red jade bracelet in the novel. In the novel, the blood red jade bracelet was one-of-a-kind in the coastal city. When a fair-skinned beauty with smooth skin wore this blood red jade bracelet, it enhanced those beautiful qualities. As a result of Ye Qing wearing the jade bracelet, it started a trend of people wanting to buy blood red jade. However, the preciousness and rarity of blood red jade caused the prices for them to be extremely high.

In this timeline, Ye Qing hadnt married Lin Zhan, which meant that this blood red jade bracelet could only be sent by Lin Zhan.

But, what did Lin Zhan mean by giving her this bracelet?

This jade bracelet is very valuable. Lu Beichuans tone sounded neither salty nor light. Nothing wrong could be heard in his voice.

There seemed to be something tucked under the first level of the jewelry box. Lu Beichuan noticed it and took it out to look. It was a piece of thin, but stiff paper. There was a note written on it.

Wishing for the mother and baby to be safe and sound, Lin Zhan.

In an instant, Lu Beichuans expression became gloomy. His eyes looked as if they had been covered in frost. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the blood red bracelet in Ye Zhens hand.

If he didnt have misgivings over Ye Zhens health as well as caring about his image in front of her, he would have smashed this bracelet into pieces and thrown it into trash at the first sight of that note.

Wishing for the mother and baby to be safe and sound, Lin Zhan? Ye Zhen furrowed her brow. She was aware that she was touching a sensitive issue. This really is from Lin Zhan?

Really? Lu Beichuans sharp perception didnt miss the meaning. With a slightly sunken and questioning tone, he asked, You knew in advance that Lin Zhan sent you this gift?

Ye Zhen paused for a moment. As she thought over the words she had just said, she silently put the jade bracelet back into the box. I saw the bracelet before when he was dating my older sister.

How did you know? Because you saw this jade bracelet? Why is he giving you this jade bracelet?

She really didnt know how to explain this.

In all honesty, she hadnt had any contact with Lin Zhan since that time at the airport. And yet, against all reason, Lin Zhan sent her this jade bracelet. Even if she had a hundred mouths, it wouldnt be enough to argue her innocence.

After thinking for a while, Ye Zhen honestly answered, I dont know.

Her gaze looked extremely innocent.

Lu Beichuan crumpled the congratulations card into a ball. He tossed the box into a drawer like it was trash. His expression was solemn as he briskly marched out of the room.

Without that big Buddhas threatening presence, Ye Zhen relaxed.

She really couldnt figure it out. What was Lin Zhan thinking? What had happened that she didnt know about that would cause him to give her such a precious bracelet?

She had been worried that Lu Beichuan would throw a fit given how he had looked. After all, Lin Zhan was Lu Beichuans half-brother. Their situations had been on opposite sides from the moment they were born. Right now, she was Beichuans wife, but she inexplicably got a jade bracelet from Lin Zhan. Such an ambiguous gesture. Who would believe there really was nothing between them?

He could have sent anything along with that note of wishing her and the baby well. Why did he choose such a precious bracelet as his gift?

Ye Zhen sighed. She was totally innocent.
