After Lu Anning said this, everyone's attention was focused on the gift in Ji Yan's hand.
"The Tang family's move is definitely not an ordinary item."
"It's so small, it can't be some rare antique jewelry!"
"Madam Gu, why not open it now so that we can all broaden our horizons."
Ji Yan's suspicions vanished instantly, and her back straightened up a lot. With so many distinguished guests present today, I doubt this girl would dare to act recklessly.
She smiled gracefully and said, "Since everyone is curious, I'll open it and take a look."
The whole audience was silent, waiting for Ji Yan to open the box. Many people even held their breath out of nervousness.
As the box slowly opened and the contents were exposed to everyone, the smile on Ji Yan's face froze completely. Her legs went weak and she almost fell.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and stared at Lu An Ning in front of her.
How could she have this thing!
Lu Anning smiled silently and deliberately asked, "Mom, do you like this gift I carefully selected for you?"
Ji Yan curled the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't bring herself to say the word "like".
At this moment, countless possibilities had emerged in Ji Yan's mind.
Was it a coincidence that she gave me this thing, or was she trying to hint something to her?
Lu Anning knew everything?
impossible!
If she knew, she would have caused unrest in the Gu family. How could she have endured it until now?
This must be a test!
When she came to her senses, some of the onlookers had already recognized the origin of the bracelet and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god! Isn't this the limited edition bracelet that the internationally renowned jewelry designer Allen designed for Chinese Valentine's Day over 20 years ago? There were only three of them, and they fetched a stratospheric price back then. Each bracelet has a unique metal plaque engraved with its name. I never thought it would appear here all these years later."
Lu Anning cast an approving glance at the crowd: "That's right! There were three bracelets in total, and one of them was given to my mother. This bracelet carries my father's love for my mother, but it was lost later. Thanks to Jing Yuan for going through so much trouble to find it for me. I know you will like it."
She smiled and walked over to take the bracelet out of the box.
"Jing Yuan specifically sought the approval of designer Allen to make matching bracelets. This way, Mom and I each have one, symbolizing our irreplaceable bond. From now on, I wonder who would dare to say that we're not getting along. Come! I'll put it on you myself."
Lu An Ning stopped in mid-air holding the bracelet. Ji Yan looked at her but did not reach out her hand, as if she had seen something terrible. Even her delicate makeup could not cover up her pale face.
Seeing that she didn't move, Lu An Ning reminded her again: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't you like it?"
Ji Yan's red lips moved slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
Tang Jingyuan smiled faintly and reminded Ji Yan, "Mother-in-law, An Ning spent a lot of effort to find this bracelet. You won't reject her intentions, right?"
Anyone would be delighted to find something lost, especially Allen's limited edition bracelet, which would be priceless even now. Perhaps only the Tang family would have the grace to allow a fourth identical bracelet to be made.
Everyone in the crowd was envious.
But how could they know what this bracelet really meant to Ji Yan.
Just as she was hesitating, Gu Zhiwei came over with the male guests. When he saw the bracelet, his face suddenly changed, but soon returned to normal, and he walked out of the crowd with a smile.
"Ayue, I'm so sorry for you. I just mentioned it, and you and Jingyuan found it for your mother in such a short time. You don't know, she thinks about this bracelet often."
He smiled as usual, walked to Ji Yan, and hugged her gently.
"Ayan, what are you standing there for? Why don't you let our daughter put it on for you? Are you too happy and forget to react?"
After Gu Zhiwei's reminder, Ji Yan finally responded.
She forced a smile and then stretched out her hand. The moment she put the bracelet on, Ji Yan subconsciously frowned, as if she had touched something terrible.
Gu Zhiwei smiled and held Ji Yan's hand: "That's great! Something that has been lost for many years is found again, just like we are a family again."
The brothers, unaware of the situation, praised Lu An Ning for his thoughtfulness, saying that the gifts he prepared surpassed those they had prepared.
Lu An Ning smiled but said nothing. Looking at Ji Yan was more uncomfortable than eating a fly, but he had to force a smile in front of everyone, which made him feel a lot better.
Her reaction made Lu Anning more certain of his guess.
Ji Yan rubbed his temples and said, "Sorry! I suddenly feel a little tired. I want to go upstairs and rest for a while. Excuse me, everyone."
Lu Yunxi finally got the chance to show off, and hurried forward to help Ji Yan go upstairs to rest, but was rejected by Ji Yan.
"You're still pregnant, don't get hurt. I want to be alone for a while!"
Lu Yunxi was rejected unexpectedly, and her smile froze. She looked at Ji Yan's back as she went upstairs alone, and realized something was wrong. Her eyes fell on her new bracelet.
She turned and looked at Lu An Ning in the crowd, her eyes narrowed slightly. This thing must be no simple matter.
The crowd dispersed, and a few men were pulled away to chat. Lu Anning nodded to Tang Jingyuan, reassuring him. She just turned around and wanted to go upstairs to find Ji Yan, but her eyes happened to meet Lu Yunxi in the crowd.
Lu An Ning ignored him and turned to walk towards the stairs. Lu Yunxi took a few quick steps to stop Lu An Ning.
"What's going on with that bracelet? Lu Anning, you wouldn't even plot against your own mother, would you?"
