Chapter 608 - 608: A Visit 4.
Lian Mengzhu was somewhat surprised by Ye Wanwan’s sudden appearance because Ye Wanwan had complained extensively about Ye An’an the previous night.
Clearly, Ye Wanwan harbored deep prejudices against Ye An’an. Consequently, she didn’t anticipate Ye Wanwan joining the gathering. Nonetheless, from her perspective, it was a positive development. Ye Wanwan was no longer young, and as the future bearer of the Ye family’s responsibilities, she couldn’t afford to act recklessly.
Now that Ye Wanwan was willing to set aside her grievances and exhibit the demeanor of a host, it signaled a level of maturity.
Observing Ye Wanwan’s arrival, Ye Lengan raised an eyebrow but refrained from commenting. After all, this was the Ye family’s domain, and Ye Wanwan, as the host, appearing here was entirely reasonable.
“Miss Ye, I truly didn’t expect you to come and seek me out today.” Once Lian Mengzhu was seated, she smiled and inquired, “l wonder if there’s a specific matter bringing you here today?”
During their parting the previous night, Ye An’an hadn’t mentioned a visit or sent a prior notice. This impromptu decision indicated that there was a recent development prompting her visit.
“There is indeed a matter, but it’s nothing significant, just a minor affair.” Ye Lengan didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “Mrs. Ye, some time ago, I found a bracelet. The material of that bracelet matches the one 1 purchased yesterday. Moreover, the crucial point is…”
Lian Mengzhu, anticipating the continuation, looked at Ye Lengan without expecting any irrelevant details.
“The bracelet is engraved with the letters ‘ZX.’ Yesterday, I overheard Mrs. Ye mention that your sister’s name is Zixin, and she has a penchant for this type of jewelry. So, I thought, could this be the one your sister accidentally lost?”
“Ah, so it’s about this!” Learning that it wasn’t a major issue, Lian Mengzhu smiled in relief. “l wonder if Miss Ye brought the bracelet with you today? I could take a look.”
Ye Wanwan remained silent throughout. However, upon understanding Ye Leng’an’s purpose, she felt relieved. As long as she wasn’t here for her mother, there was nothing to worry about.
Ye Lengan didn’t refuse. Extending her right hand, she swept it across the table, and the bracelet appeared.
She hadn’t even bothered placing the bracelet in a jewelry box; it was casually placed in her space.
Without hesitation, Lian Mengzhu took the bracelet from the table and examined it closely.
She nodded afterward and looked at Ye Lengan, stating, “Miss Ye, this bracelet seems to have an older design, and it’s indeed the type Zixin likes. The habit of engraving initials on it is identical to Zixin’s. However, I can’t confirm if it’s hers.’
Zixin had a habit of engraving her name “LX’ on jewelry made of this material. She believed that even if lost, it could be easily identified. After all, this material was unique. Once a name was engraved on it, erasing it would be challenging.
Even if someone could erase the initials of her name, the cost would undoubtedly be much higher than buying a new piece of jewelry. Therefore, even if someone picked up her jewelry, it would be practically impossible for them to wear it.
“Why don’t we have Auntie come over and take a look? After all, she’s here today to visit cousins,” Ye Wanwan suggested, hoping to swiftly confirm the ownership of the bracelet. If it belonged to her aunt, it could be returned; otherwise, a prompt departure was in order.
She had no desire to see Ye An’an’s unpleasant face any longer.
Ye Leng’an’s expression remained unchanged. He thought that her decision to come today was indeed appropriate. Originally, she planned to have Mrs. Ye confirm it first before asking her to bring Lian Zixin out, allowing her to return it personally.
Unexpectedly, things turned out differently! Today, when she came, she unexpectedly encountered Lian Zixin at the Ye family’s residence. It seemed that today’s affairs were proceeding very smoothly!
After hearing Ye Wanwan’s suggestion, Lian Mengzhu nodded. “I’ll immediately send someone to find Zixin.”
With that. she smiled at Ye Leng’an. “Miss Me. I might have to trouble von to
wait for a while.’
“No problem. 1 have plenty of time today.”
Although Ye Lengan expressed willingness to wait, to avoid wasting time, she decided to personally find Zixin, fearing that if the servants went to fetch her, Zixin might procrastinate, causing unnecessary delays.
After Lian Mengzhu left, Ye Wanwan had the servants serve a fresh pot of hot tea and prepare some new pastries.
Soon, only Ye Wanwan and Ye Lengan remained in the hall.
“Ye An’an, why did you come to find my mother?” Ye Wanwan looked at the motionless Ye Lengan and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your real intention?”
She didn’t entirely believe that Ye An’an had come to her door just for a bracelet. If that were the case, why not send someone over and say it would be a brief matter?
The Huangfu family and the Ye family were both renowned families. They wouldn’t covet such a trivial bracelet.
“Hehe, why do I feel like you’re scared?” Ye Lengan looked at Ye Wanwan with a half- smile. “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your mother will get close to me?”
“Absolutely not!” Ye Wanwan instinctively retorted. “The reason my mother treats you so favorably is because you’re the fiancée of the Huangfu family’s head. Without this identity, my mother wouldn’t spare you a second glance.”
“Oh, so you’re saying…” Ye Lengan spoke sarcastically, “Your mother is a snob, and she only thinks highly of me because of my status, right?”
“That’s not what I meant at all.” Ye Wanwan hastily explained, “My mother isn’t like that, and that’s not what I intended to convey. Ye An’an, don’t speak nonsense here..
