However, probably due to this misunderstanding, when Lian Zixin looked at Ye Lengan again, a hint of contempt inadvertently appeared in her eyes. In her view, someone so young, yet entangled with a much older man, must be driven by vanity.
“Ms. Lian?” Ye Lengan naturally noticed the disdain in Lian Zixin’s eyes. She found it amusing. “1 wonder if there’s something wrong with me?”
This sentence immediately made Lian Zixin’s expression somewhat peculiar. She didn’t expect this girl to be so ruthlessly blunt. Indeed, too young.
However, Ye Leng’an’s words shifted the attention of Lian Mengzhu and Ye Wanwan.
Suddenly under everyone’s gaze, Lian Zixin felt momentarily uneasy, but she quickly regained composure. “It’s nothing. I just feel that Miss Ye is very young. Master Huangfu is really fortunate to have such a young fiancée!”
Originally meant as a compliment, these words, after she spoke, were met with everyone’s strange looks.
“Sis, what’s going on with you guys?” Lian Zixin couldn’t help but touch her face. “Is there something wrong with me?”
“Well, Zixin, did you know that the head of the Huangfu family is still very young?” Lian Mengzhu’s lips curved into a smile. “He doesn’t seem much older than Miss Ye. The two of them are about the same age – talented and beautiful.’
Lian Zixin smiled with a touch of embarrassment on her face. The words she thought were compliments had turned sarcastic to others. However, she didn’t expect the head of the Huangfu family to be this young. But wasn’t it said that the Huangfu family had grown stronger over the years? How could their family head be so young?
To diffuse the awkwardness, she quickly changed the topic. “By the way, Sis, didn’t you mention there’s a bracelet that looks like mine?”
Upon hearing Lian Zixin’s words, Lian Mengzhu turned to Ye Lengan. She smiled and said, “Miss Ye, could you take out that bracelet you showed earlier and let Zixin identify it to see if it’s hers?”
“Of course.” Ye Lengan smiled and nodded. “That was my purpose for coming here today.”
With that said, Ye Lengan took out the bracelet and handed it to Lian Zixin.
Accepting the bracelet, Lian Zixin seemed somewhat absent-minded. Frankly, she liked this type of jewelry, but losing one or two bracelets didn’t bother her much. Moreover, she found it strange for the fiancée of the esteemed Huangfu family head to visit her for a bracelet.
However, no matter how odd it seemed, the other’s identity demanded her respect. Regardless of whether the bracelet was hers, she had decided to acknowledge it. Perhaps, using this incident, she could establish a connection with Miss Ye. After all, the person before her was the Huangfu family head’s fiancée. If she became the matriarch of the Huangfu family in the future, being on good terms with her would be beneficial.
With these thoughts, Lian Zixin’s gaze focused on the bracelet, intending to inspect it closely. However, upon seeing the bracelet, her face turned pale. It was as if she had glimpsed something horrifying. If not for the presence of so many people, she would have thrown the bracelet away.
She never imagined she would encounter this bracelet again, especially in such circumstances. It had been many years. Since it was lost, why did it resurface now to remind her of that matter?
“Zixin, Zixin, are you alright?” Lian Mengzhu called out several times, but there was no response.
Especially seeing Lian Zixin’s face devoid of any color, unable to restrain herself, Lian Mengzhu stood up and approached Lian Zixin, gently patting her shoulder.
This simple gesture made Lian Zixin abruptly jolt upright.
This sudden move startled everyone present, particularly Lian Mengzhu, who took a step back in alarm..
