Chapter 47 - Bracelet

Yun Chang’s heart melted when he saw how obedient Su Yan was. God knew how much he wanted a daughter, but he was not blessed. There were only three little bastards that made him worried.

Touching Su Yan’s head, Yun Chang immediately said, “As long as you like it.” Hence, he sat beside Su Yan and chatted and ate with Su Yan and Old Master Yun.

Leaving behind the old man who was still crying on the ground like a joke.

As the old man cried, he secretly opened his eyes to watch Old Master Yun’s reaction. However, when he saw that Old Master Yun remained unmoved, he could only curse inwardly. Then, he slowly stopped crying. After a while, as if nothing had happened, he returned to the table and continued eating.

Seeing that the old man had stopped, Old Master Yun said, “If Second Uncle saw you like this, he would be very pleased. After all, when you were young, Second Uncle wanted to see you cry the most.”

The old man and Old Master Yun were cousins. Ever since he was young, the old man had been afraid of this cousin of his who always had a straight face. Although he often wanted to create a ruckus and gain some benefits, when he saw his cousin, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat, and he didn’t dare to say a word.

However, it was different this time. The old man was unconvinced. “Brother, this bracelet concerns the entire Yun family’s lifeline after all.”

Old Master Yun smiled amiably. “What do you mean by that? What era are we living in now? Why are you still doing feudalism?” That’s what he said but the way he looked at the old man was filled with a hidden warning, which made the old man shiver.

Old Master Yun only managed to have a good meal with Su Yan after those people who stirred up trouble were gone.

During the meal, Su Yan seemed to be watching a big show, but at the same time, she felt like she was the one in this show. It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands pushing her forward.

When the collateral branch of the Yun family left, Yun Chang said loudly, “Xixi, your First uncle will be back tomorrow. Let’s have a good meal together.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

These words really infuriated the collateral branch members of the Yun family. However, the Yun family was under Yun Chang’s control now, after all. It would be disadvantageous if they made things difficult for him in front of him. Hence, no one voiced their opinions on Yun Chang’s words.

Su Yan, who had been tensed up, only relaxed slightly after seeing everyone leave. Yun Chang smiled when he saw this. He rubbed the back of his head and said, “Xixi, you just came back. You must have a lot to say to your grandfather, I won’t disturb you anymore. You have no idea how much your grandfather missed you all these years.”

After saying that, he wanted to go upstairs. Unfortunately, Yun Chang’s speed of escape was not as fast as Old Master Yun’s. After Old Master Yun spoke, Yun Chang could only stay behind reluctantly.

Old Master Yun sighed and looked at Yun Chang as if he expected better from him. “Aren’t you creating trouble for Xixi if you give the bracelet to her now? What will they think? Xixi’s life will be very difficult in the future.”

Yun Chang also knew that he was being impulsive. He rubbed his head awkwardly. “I just wanted to express how much we value Xixi. I thought this bracelet was valuable enough and didn’t think too much about it. Who knew these people would think too much?”

Old Master Yun snorted heavily and turned to look at Su Yan before he regained his gentleness. “Xixi is curious about what this bracelet is?”

Su Yan nodded calmly. She could tell from the Yun family’s words that this bracelet was very valuable. But forgive her for being blunt, it was just a jade bracelet. What was so valuable about it?

Old Master Yun was silent for a while before he continued, “Xixi also knows that the Yun family’s ancestors were not very honourable. The Yun family’s ancestors were pirates, and they once intercepted a passenger ship. Legend has it that the passenger ship was extremely huge, and it was filled with gold, silver, jewels, antiques, calligraphy, and even many rare treasures.

“But then it was the time of chaos. The ancestors did not even have time to divide the spoils before the war started. Helpless, the Yun family’s ancestors could only hide these treasures. This bracelet was specially left behind by the Yun family’s ancestors to prove that those items once existed.”

Old Master Yun looked at the box containing the bracelet. “There are also people who say that this bracelet is the key to obtaining the treasure left behind by the Yun family’s ancestors.”

Listening to Old Master Yun’s words, Su Yan’s expression also became serious. The rumor that the Yun family had a batch of treasures was indeed widely circulated, but Su Yan only treated it as a rumor. But looking at Old Master Yun’s current appearance, it was definitely not as simple as a rumor.

“All these years, this bracelet has been owned by the head of the Yun family. No wonder those guys doubted Chang’er’s actions.” After speaking, Old Master Yun gave another cold laugh. In between his words, he looked down on those people’s actions. “They don’t have much ability, all they do is fight amongst themselves.”

Su Yan opened the brocade box again and carefully touched the jade bracelet in the box. She smiled and said, “If that’s the case, I really have to thank Third Uncle for his trust in me.”

Yun Chang immediately felt better. What did this mean? It means Yun Xi understood what he meant!
