Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It turned out that what Zhou Lin said was not a joke. It was not until Yun Xi saw Zhou Mo, who arrived with a large wooden box, that she knew how much the Zhou family’s old master valued this matter.
When Zhou Mo and Zhou Lin boarded the train, the uncle and the nephew had a disagreement. Therefore, Zhou Lin punished Zhou Mo by making him walk over alone with the wooden box! Zhou Mo, a rich young master who had always been clothed and fed well, had never done such laborious work before!
Hence, Zhou Mo walked slowly with the big box in his arms.
Nonetheless, this young master could do nothing about it. After all, this man in front of him was the nemesis of his life. The man was Zhou Lin, his blood-related uncle
After a simple greet with Yun Xi and Chen Li, Zhou Lin watched as Zhou Mo, who was carrying the box, entered the Yun family courtyard. They then went to the old master’s room to request a meeting with him.!!
The Yun family’s old master had also received a letter from his brother, the Zhou family’s old master. He knew what Zhou Lin was here for. Even so, he was still conflicted. Did the marriage contract between the two families once again not meet the expectations of the young people?
These few days, Old Master Yun had been in a dilemma in his room. He thought of writing a letter to persuade his Old Master Zhou. Their children and grandchildren would have their own blessings, so the elders should stop meddling in their matters. Moreover, Old Master Zhou’s son was matched with Old Master Yun’s granddaughter. No matter how one looked at it, Old Master Zhou was at a disadvantage in terms of seniority.
In the large wooden box, there were some gifts, including some bird’s nest and tea leaves for the old master. There were also some miscellaneous gifts prepared for everyone in the family.
Of course, the most important thing had always been in Zhou Lin’s arms. It was an old red box, and inside the box was a jade-green bracelet. This bracelet looked like an old item. The bracelet itself was not only jade-green but was also of high quality. One could tell that it was a priceless treasure.
Zhou Lin placed the bracelet in front of Old Master Yun. He said that this bracelet was left behind by his mother and was to be handed over to his future wife. It could be considered a family heirloom from the Zhou family’s previous generation.
Old Master Yun looked at the bracelet. In fact, he had seen this treasure in his early years. At that time, this bracelet was worn by Old Master Zhou’s wife. When he visited the Zhou family as a guest in his early years, he was fortunate enough to see the true appearance of this bracelet. Now, the bracelet had come to the Yun family. Life was truly like a play!
When Zhou Mo arrived at the Yun family’s courtyard, there was an especially huge commotion. Everyone in Yun Shan’s family knew that the uncle and nephew from the Zhou family had come to the Yun family again. In order to enjoy the show, Yun Gang and Yun Lin’s! wives gathered in front of the old master’s room again. They wanted to see why the uncle and nephew had come for this time.
Yun Lian also came to the old master’s room. She was perhaps hoping that Zhou Mo would be the one to get engaged to her this time. If she were to get close to the Zhou family, the people of the Yun family, including her adoptive parents, would no longer dare to treat her poorly anymore. Yun Lian’s troubled days might usher in a new turning point.
Despite that, Yun Lian was only half right. The uncle and nephew of the Zhou family did come to the Yun family for an engagement this time, but the person to be engaged was not her. Instead, it was her biological sister, Yun Xi, whom she had always hated.
When Yun Lian saw the emerald bracelet that Zhou Lin had placed on the table, she was so jealous that her eyeballs almost fell to the ground. Why was it that every time something good happened, it always happened to her sister? Why could she not be the one who would own the priceless bracelet?
She had met her dream man, but if he was married, it would only hinder her in life!
Yun Lian had also fallen in love with Zhou Lin at first sight. Why was the Zhou family’s old master willing to lower his status to let his youngest son, whom he was most proud of, marry this lady whom his grandson despised?
Yun Xi was not the only daughter of the Yun family. Why did no one see her, Yun Lian?!
Yun Lian hated it! She had to think of a way to seize everything that Yun Xi had. Whether it was this bracelet or Zhou Lin’s love, she wanted them all.
