Chapter 11: Blood Jade Bracelet
However, this blood jade bracelet was not only made of the best materials, but it also had the significance of –this was the heirloom of Gu Jin's grandmother's relics to her mother.
Speaking of the Gu Jin family, they were quite respected. During the last two years of the Qing Dynasty, one of his ancestors obtained the title of Jinshi, which was the highest title in the imperial examinations. It brings a lot of joy and honor to their families.
After the fall of the Dynasty and the chaos caused by the war that led to the establishment of a new state, his ancestors suffered greatly.
Even the family property was scattered completely after the turmoil of war.
Back then, her grandmother injured herself at a young age, and was only able to give birth to two sisters: Li Mingxia and Li Minghong.
When the pair of sisters grew up, one of them married Gu Changsheng who was a professor, and Cheng Wanyan, who was a businessman. One sister became an esteemed university professor while the other became a wealthy woman from the upper class.
Before their grandmother's death, the remaining pair of jade bracelets were given to the two sisters.
A few months ago, as Gu Jin was celebrating his 20th birthday, his mother Li Mingxia, gave a blood jade bracelet as a birthday present. It is now his responsibility to keep it safe for future generations.
Before leaving her apartment this morning, Gu Jin chose her clothes for the day, but she was unable to find any accessories that matched her clothes.
She is different from her original host, who prefers simplicity and elegance, while refusing to wear or buy elaborate and beautiful jewelry.
The current Gu Jin always held high standards for his own appearance, even if he was at home. When leaving home, dressing like a queen is a must!
Right now, she had no choice but to lower her dress standards to the original host style and dress like a 'servant'. But since he did not want to arouse suspicion that could endanger his life, he could only try to suppress his dislike.
With no other jewelry options, she chose this bracelet as her accessory.
Who knew that he would suddenly lose it during a supposedly simple dinner?
He looked at his bruised wrist and thought hard.
Could it…
When the man grabbed his wrist, did he end up grabbing his bracelet by chance and causing it to come loose?
Gu Jin wanted to return to the room to take another look, but he did not remember how to head there.
When Cheng Xin saw Gu Jin remain silent, she felt even more annoyed and also somewhat helpless.
As soon as he looked up, Shao Chong, who had just been pushed by him, had walked out of the room and walked towards them. Compared to Cheng Xin's frantic reaction a few minutes ago, she was much calmer.
He frowned when he saw the audience in the hallway who had come to watch the drama. He pushed them out before asking Cheng Xin, “What happened to you?”
“I accidentally injured Little Jin's hand,” he replied as he lowered his head.
Gu Jin raised his gaze and was about to speak. He wanted to explain the truth, but in the end, he did not say anything.
He suddenly realized that this was an opportunity!
A good opportunity to distance yourself from the female protagonist!
This was an opportunity he wanted to take.
