Chapter 167 Could a mere object be more precious than his wife? (2)

How is Mr. Lin planning on making things right with my wife? Words that were as light as a feather came from behind them. The speakers tone was very flat without any sign of anger. Lu Beichuan expressionlessly walked over here from a side corridor. He wrapped his arm around Ye Zhens waist like it was routine. Standing opposite of Lin Zhan, he coldly stared at him.

Lu Beichuan was very possessive. He wouldnt allow others to long for someone or something that belonged to him. In his opinion, that would be disrespecting him.

Ye Zhen inwardly sighed, but she kept a smile on her face as she looked at Lu Beichuan. She intimately held his arm and said, Im just chatting with an old classmate. Why did you come here?

I heard you guys talking about making things right, and I came here out of impulsive curiosity. Lu Beichuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Zhan with a gaze tinged with oppressiveness.

Lin Zhans expression didnt change. He looked like he had no intention of backing down.

Their gazes crossed, and the faint collision caused fierce sparks.

Mr. Lu heard wrong. Your wife and I were just reminiscing.

Reminiscing? Lu Beichuans lips slowly curved into a smile, but from Ye Zhens point of view, she only felt trepidation in the face of disaster.

Lu Beichuan and Lin Zhan would be on opposing sides just from their identities. And right now, Lin Zhan didnt have the capital to face off with Lu Beichuan. Where did he get the courage to stand in front of Lu Beichuan and challenge him?

Shouldnt the best policy be to hide and secretly grow in power?

Ye Zhen truly didnt understand why Lin Zhan would take the initiative to send himself to Lu Beichuans door.

I know that Mr. Lin and my wife have a history together, but Im not a petty person. The past is the past. Theres no need to bring it up now. So Mr. Lin, what you said about making things right, thats completely unnecessary.

It sounded as if he had no ill-feelings towards Lin Zhan and Ye Zhens past relationship.

Such tolerant and magnanimous words, it didnt sound like something Lu Beichuan would say.

After saying that, Lu Beichuan took out the blood jade bracelet that Lin Zhan had given to Ye Zhen and held it in front of Lin Zhan. Lu Beichuans gaze was mocking and contemptuous. He looked at this priceless blood jade bracelet as if it was worthless.

Mr. Lin, you should give this bracelet to someone youre fated with. My wife can only wear jewelry that I give her.

It was rare for Lu Beichuan to show such patience towards Lin Zhan and speak civility with him. Taking the time to speak slowly? That wasnt in Lu Beichuans standard behavior.

It was a bit hard for Ye Zhen to keep the smile on her lips. She wanted to refute Lu Beichuans declaration of sovereignty, but since they had a prior agreement, she went along with his words. Mr. Lin, thank you for kind intentions. This is the gift your mother prepared for her future daughter-in-law, and this bracelet is so expensive too. I really cant accept it.

When a husband and wife were of the same mind, their sharpness could cut through metal. Seeing that they were of one mind when it came to dealing with an outside party, their attitude was clear-cut, and their trust for each other was absolute, Lin Zhan should understand what to do next.

I didnt have any other intentions. I gave this bracelet to thank Mrs. Lu for taking care of my mother and keeping her company in the last part of her life. I think my mother would be very happy to see me doing this. I hope that you wont refuse.

Lu Beichuan slightly furrowed his brow. Mr. Lin, I dont say this to be offensive, but in my opinion, Ye Zhen took care of your mother without expecting a reward. She gave her sincerity, but now, youre giving her a material good in return. Mr. Lin, dont you think thats inappropriate?

Lin Zhan paused for a moment before lowering his head and chuckling.

Yeah, Ye Zhen had given her sincerity. How could he pay her back with a material good?

He took the blood jade bracelet back. I understand.
