She picked up the foreign object covered in mud on the ground, and regardless of the pain in her body, she carefully cleaned the mud off it. Only then did the two of them see clearly that it was actually a women's bracelet.

The bracelet inlaid with gems and diamonds has a unique style. Although its original luster is covered by mud, it still cannot cover up its original value.

This chain must be expensive!

The bracelet had been hidden in the mud. If she hadn't dropped it just now, it might never have seen the light of day.

Tang Jingyuan took the bracelet and examined it carefully. They both noticed something engraved on the metal plate of the clasp. However, there was no water around, so they had to clean the dirt off before they could make out the words.

Could it be that this was her mother's guidance to her?

"Let's check it out after we put the things away. I'm worried about you now. Don't hurt yourself if you fall down the stairs. I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."

"No need, it's just a fall. I'm not that delicate. I'm just dirty. I need to go back and change clothes and take a shower. Let's clean the bracelet first. Maybe we can find something."

Luckily, Lu Anning wasn't wearing high heels today. It was just that the stairs were covered in moss, and since it had rained last night, Lu Anning slipped. Fortunately, this trip wasn't entirely fruitless. Thinking of this, Lu Anning no longer felt the pain.

After returning to Bixi Bay, Lu Anning handed the necklace to Wang Ma to deal with. He hurried back to his room to clean himself up, and couldn't wait to know the information on the bracelet.

Wang Ma was meticulous and didn't ask any questions. By the time Lu An Ning came out of the shower, the bracelet was already nearly clean. While it didn't have the original shine, it didn't affect the inspection.

The writing on the metal plate is a little worn, but after cleaning it can still be seen in its original form.

Seeing the words above, Lu Anning froze.

It’s the word ‘Yan’!

The first person Lu An Ning thought of was Ji Yan. Could it be that Ji Yan was at the scene when the fire broke out?

She nervously held Tang Jingyuan's hand and said, "If this bracelet belongs to Ji Yan, does that mean she was at the scene when the fire started?"

Tang Jingyuan frowned. "It's just an engraved bracelet. It doesn't mean anything. She can say she's been there before. Besides, didn't my father-in-law say they always got along well? If that's the case, it's normal for her to have accidentally lost the bracelet there."

"What should we do then?"

Lu Anning concluded that it was impossible for Ji Yan and her mother to get along well, but she had no evidence.

"Unless you get your father-in-law or Ji Yan to admit it personally."

Only what they said was convincing. However, Gu Zhiwei was too shrewd. As for Ji Yan, she didn't know that Lu Anning had discovered these secrets yet, so it was not easy for her to admit it.

Unless Ji Yan and Lu An Ning completely fall out.

Lu Anning leaned back on the sofa, looking rather dejected. He had thought he'd found some traces, but if they couldn't prove anything, then it was all for nothing.

"This bracelet has inscriptions on it, so it must have a special meaning. I'll take it to a professional to look at it and see if they can find out anything. Then we'll consider what to do next."

Lu Anning nodded: "I just think it belongs to Ji Yan."

If Ji Yan was really related to her mother's death, I wonder how she would react if she saw this bracelet again.

"Jingyuan, please help me find someone to make another bracelet exactly like this one."

Tang Jingyuan looked at the chain in his hand and agreed.

If Lu An Ning remembered correctly, Ji Yan's birthday would be coming up soon. As someone who cared about her reputation, she would definitely celebrate it in a big way. When the time came, he would definitely give her a big gift.

But within a few days, news of the Gu family holding a birthday party had spread. Gu Yu wanted to improve the relationship between Lu An Ning and Ji Yan, so he told her in advance and also thoughtfully listed some birthday gifts for her to consider, all of which were Ji Yan's favorites.

Lu Anning looked at the things Gu Yu listed and refused without thinking.

"Don't worry, second brother. I've already prepared Mom's birthday present. When the time comes, I'll definitely give her a big surprise."

Gu Yu's relieved laughter came to my ears: "I'm glad you think so. There is no overnight hatred between mother and daughter. The most important thing is that our family is happy."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Anning stroked the bracelet that Tang Jingyuan had made for her. It was one of the bracelets that was found in the ruins and it took a full week to repair it. At this moment, it was dazzling under the light, and the engraving on the metal plate was particularly eye-catching.

And the high-end imitation one next to it is also shining!

At the beginning, two identical bracelets were bought by his father and given to two women, one to Ji Yan and the other to her biological mother.

"Because of copyright issues, I found the designer, asked for permission, and made another pair of the same ones. This was their brand's limited edition for Qixi Festival that year! If it weren't for the designer's unique style, I almost wouldn't have recognized it."

Tang Jingyuan only told the designer that as a daughter, she wanted to give her mother a surprise. When the other party heard it, she immediately agreed.

"Is it limited to Qixi Festival?"

She could almost imagine what the scene was like when they received the gifts.

Fortunately, big brands will keep records of jewelry purchases, especially limited editions like this. After Tang Jingyuan inquired, he found out from the purchase records that it was Gu Zhiwei who signed the order personally, and the two bracelets had two different words engraved on them.

One is 'Li', the other is 'Yan'!

"Now, everything is ready. We are just waiting for her birthday party."
