Chapter 897 Gifts from the Elders
Almost instinctively, everyone turned to look at the head of the Yang family, only to see him staring blankly at the beautiful girl following behind the middle-aged man.
There was a time when he also had expectations for his daughter, hoping that she would grow up to be as beautiful and delicate as his wife, grow up safely, and that her parents would help her choose a wealthy husband who would like her and treat her well, so that they could build their own little family and live a happy life.
Unfortunately, what his daughter Xiao said wasn't without reason. His only daughter with his wife, although her face shape resembled his wife's, had features that were practically identical to his.
Back when Master Yang was still at home, he liked to tease his wife, saying that she had given birth to a female version of himself.
But who could have imagined that, a century later, he would see among his descendants the girl who looked most like his wife?
Genes are sometimes so wonderful; without a doubt, this girl must be his and his wife's descendant.
Indeed, this girl was the youngest daughter of Yang Shibo, whom Feng Tianyu had mentioned before. Yang Shibo and his wife were almost forty when they conceived her, and she had an older brother who was nearly ten years older than her. Therefore, this Miss Yang was very much loved at home since she was a child.
As soon as the Yang family members entered the courtyard, they noticed the strange looks they were getting from everyone present, or more precisely, from their youngest son.
Yang Shibo frowned, just about to ask a question, when he heard a young man not far away say, "I should go."
For some reason, Yang Shibo's heart trembled upon hearing these words. Before he could react, he saw the young man suddenly look up at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, then close his eyes and fall backward.
"Brother Nie!" Gu Shaoling was startled and couldn't help but exclaim.
Fortunately, Li Guangjun was standing not far from Nie Yuyang at the time. When he saw him fall, he immediately rushed over and caught him, preventing him from collapsing to the ground.
After the head of the Yang family left Nie Yuyang's body, the director, staff, guests, and members of the Yang family could no longer see him.
But this did not include Ye Wanxi and the other person. The two of them watched as he detached from Nie Yuyang and drifted away towards the Yang family.
Finally, they stopped beside Miss Yang and handed her something.
Miss Yang stared wide-eyed in surprise at the jade bracelet floating in front of her, blinking several times before she was sure she wasn't dreaming!
"Dad, this bracelet..."
The Yang family was also frightened by this strange scene. When Yang Shibo heard his daughter's cry for help, he was the first to react and instinctively wanted to step forward to block the danger in front of him.
Just before he could make a move, Feng Tianyu called out to him, "Yang Xiaole, accept it."
"Brother Yu?" Miss Yang, who was called out, looked at him in surprise.
Ye Wanxi paused. "Brother Yu?" Why is he calling him so intimately? Are they very close?
"Tianyu, what exactly is going on? This bracelet... and what your production crew did in the yard not long ago..."
Completely oblivious to the subtle sourness that welled up in his junior sister's eyes because of that address, Feng Tianyu noticed the anxiety and unease hidden beneath Yang Shibo's question and patiently explained, "We'll talk about the rest later. Let's take the bracelet first; it belongs to your family."
Feng Tianyu's words were true. As soon as he saw the Yang family head float to Miss Yang with the bracelet, he and Ye Wanxi immediately looked at the wooden box that had been taken out.
The small box inside the wooden crate had been opened at some point and was empty; it must have contained the bracelet.
The head of the Yang family presented the bracelet to Miss Yang, hoping she would accept it.
Looking at Miss Yang's face, which bears at least seven or eight parts resemblance to Madam Yang, if I'm not mistaken, this bracelet, which has been treasured for a hundred years, is most likely related to Madam Yang.
"Our family's... things?" Uncle Yang was stunned. Although his wife was in charge of managing and collecting most of the jewelry and antiques in their family, he had seen most of them before.
He was certain that the bracelet was not in there.
But Yang Shibo also knew that Feng Tianyu was not one to speak carelessly. Could it be...?
Uncle Yang's heart pounded, and he said with surprise and excitement, "Please...accept it. This must be a gift from your elders."
Yang Xiaole didn't think much of it at first, but when she heard her father's words, she was almost scared to tears.
So, she must have really seen a ghost!
Despite being a coward, Yang Xiaole ultimately chose to listen to her father and stretched out both hands.
The bracelet, which had been hanging in mid-air, landed in her palm.
It was a translucent white jade bracelet, cool to the touch. The material wasn't particularly good, and it didn't have any fancy designs; it was quite simple.
But after touching the bracelet, Yang Xiaole developed a subtle fondness for it and liked it more and more the more she looked at it.
What she didn't know was that the moment she accepted the bracelet, the Yang family head's obsession completely dissipated.
Having no regrets, the Yang family head looked tenderly at the descendant who resembled his wife. Like a loving elder, he reached out and touched her head, while his body gradually turned into specks of light from bottom to top and disappeared into the night.
Logically speaking, since the Yang family head is currently only a soul, he shouldn't be able to touch Miss Yang.
For a fleeting moment, however, Miss Yang seemed to sense something and raised her hand to touch her head.
Seeing this, Brother Yang, who was standing to the side, asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Yang Xiaole shook her head and said in a low voice, "For a moment just now, I felt like someone was touching my head, but it must have been my imagination."
"Was I touching your head?" Brother Yang frowned. "You must have been woken up in the middle of the night because you weren't well-rested, and you were too tired to hear the sound of your head being touched, right?"
"Maybe." Yang Xiaole wasn't one to create her own troubles. After successfully convincing herself, she immediately went to Uncle Yang's side to share her joy with him.
"Dad, look, this bracelet is so beautiful. I wonder which kind person gave it to me so generously."
"They are your ancestors."
“Tianyu, who is this…” Yang Shibo saw Ye Wanxi suddenly interrupt, and she stood next to Feng Tianyu.
Although there were no intimate gestures, it was immediately obvious to anyone that the two were close.
"Uncle, this is my girlfriend, Ye Wanxi. Yuanyuan, this is Uncle Yang whom I mentioned before."
As a junior, Ye Wanxi greeted Uncle Yang first after hearing Feng Tianyu's introduction.
"Hello, Uncle Yang."
"Hello, hello, Miss Ye just said that this bracelet was a gift from our ancestor, but our ancestor passed away a long time ago, how could it be..."
Hearing this, Ye Wanxi looked at Yang Shibo with a subtle expression: "What makes you ask such a question after witnessing the strange phenomenon just now?"
