Chapter 2: Get Back the Ancestral Bracelet
"Chen Zhaoyue!"
Liu Qingqing sat on the stairs in a mess, her face grim, her eyes fixed on Chen Zhaoyue, and she screamed.
How dare this bitch?
Did she forget that this is the Liu family now, and she, Chen Zhaoyue, is the outsider. If she gets mad, she will ask her father to send her to the Northwest!
Liu Qingqing had been brought into this family for the past four years, and no matter whether it was the servants or the neighbors, everyone treated her with great respect. But today, she was slapped in the face and called "stupid" by Chen Zhaoyue, and she was almost going crazy!
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Looking at Chen Zhaoyue's mocking eyes, Liu Qingqing was so angry that she stood up and rushed towards Chen Zhaoyue. However, as soon as she got up, she felt a piercing pain in her ankle.
"hiss--"
Liu Qingqing cried out in pain and fell back down. Her carefully maintained face was twisted with pain, and there was a clear bloody handprint on her left cheek, which looked extremely hideous.
"Qingqing!" Seeing this, Cao Jing hurried forward to help her daughter, while glaring fiercely at Chen Zhaoyue. "You little bastard, how dare you hit your sister? You'll be in trouble when your dad comes back!"
In order to gain Mr. Shen's trust, Cao Jing left her own daughter to be raised in the countryside, but came to take care of another woman's child and pretended to love her very much.
She was already annoyed by seeing her husband marry another woman, but she also took care of Chen Zhaoyue for fourteen years!
It makes me sick just thinking about it!
Chen Zhaoyue stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the mother and daughter coldly.
There was still blood on the palm of her right hand, which was just wiped off the wound on the back of her head.
She shook her hand lightly, and blood splattered on the European-style carved stair railing.
"Mom...my feet!" Liu Qingqing was in so much pain that tears came out. She grabbed her mother's arm and finally stood up.
But then, he glared at Chen Zhaoyue with hatred, and shouted fiercely: "I will kill her! I must kill her!"
"Qingqing, when your dad comes back, he won't let this little bitch go!"
Cao Jing hurriedly grabbed the person and immediately checked Liu Qingqing's injured ankle.
The ankle, which was not very fair, had now swollen and looked red, which made Cao Jing feel very distressed.
"Chen Zhaoyue, you..."
Cao Jing looked up angrily and was about to curse again when she suddenly heard the sound of a key turning at the door.
The three of them turned around at the same time and saw Liu Hongyang walking in from outside.
He was wearing a neat Mao suit and had his hair combed neatly back, looking like a serious businessman.
Who would have thought that this seemingly glamorous man had secretly transferred almost all of his deceased wife's family's property?
"What's going on? I heard you arguing from far away." Liu Hongyang just walked in and saw the chaotic scene at home. He frowned and his displeased eyes wandered between the three people, finally falling on Chen Zhaoyue.
"Dad!" Seeing the person coming, Liu Qingqing's heart was filled with joy. Her expression immediately changed and tears came to her eyes: "Zhaoyue hit me... Look at my face, she also hit Mom!"
Liu Hongyang turned his head and noticed that his wife and daughter's faces were covered with bloody handprints, and Liu Qingqing's ankle was also swollen.
He was startled, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he walked towards this side quickly.
Seeing the original owner's scumbag father like this, Shen Zhaoyue's brain also started to work rapidly.
Before Liu Hongyang could speak, she took the lead, her eyes were red, her body was shaking slightly, and her voice was choked with grievance, which was so pitiful.
"Dad...my sister, she, she tried to grab the bracelet that grandma left for me. When I refused to give it to her, she pushed me down the stairs."
She turned around and showed Liu Hongyang the wound on the back of her head. "I bumped into the corner of the table and bled a lot... I fainted, and when I woke up they were still scolding me..."
When Liu Hongyang saw the blood on the back of her head, his pupils shrank slightly, and the words he was about to blame Chen Zhaoyue were abruptly stopped.
Although he didn't like his daughter, Chen Zhaoyue, at this critical moment, if something happened, it would affect his future plans...
He turned to look at Liu Qingqing, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction, "Qingqing, what did I tell you the other day?"
I've said it so many times, be low-key when doing things!
You should be low-key not only outside, but also at home.
These capitalists are now in the center of the storm, and family infighting is not a good thing at this time. Although Chen Zhaoyue seems to be silent at ordinary times, even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. Besides, Liu Hongyang has also seen how Liu Qingqing treated her in the past four years.
What if she really gets mad and ends up dying with them...
"I, I..." Liu Qingqing's heart tightened when she was looked at, and her eyes couldn't help but flicker.
She did push Shen Zhaoyue, and she did want the bracelet, but she didn't expect that Shen Zhaoyue, who usually submitted to everything, would resist today, and she didn't expect that she would complain first.
"Hongyang," Cao Jing saw this and quickly interrupted, "Qingqing just wanted to see the bracelet, and Zhaoyue started beating her. Look at how she hit Qingqing's face, and mine..."
Chen Zhaoyue looked at Cao Jing, his expression more aggrieved, and his voice became softer: "But that was given to me by my grandma before she died..."
Then, she glanced at Liu Qingqing meaningfully: "My sister said that you are going to send me to the countryside, and I have no use for these jewelry. I will leave them all to her..."
“…” When Liu Hongyang heard about going to the countryside, his expression changed.
He did intend to send Chen Zhaoyue to the countryside, while he himself took Cao Jing and Liu Qingqing to sneak across to Hong Kong.
Chen Zhaoyue mentioned this matter at this time. If she did not cooperate, it might cause trouble.
"Nonsense!" He frowned and scolded Liu Qingqing, "That's your sister's thing, why don't you give it back to her!"
"Dad?" Liu Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief. "She was the one who hit us. Look at my face! And my feet! This is all her..."
"That's enough!" Liu Hongyang raised his voice. "Return the bracelet to your sister, and then go back to your room! You're still making trouble now, isn't that chaotic enough?"
Liu Qingqing was so aggrieved that she burst into tears, but at this moment, Chen Zhaoyue gently shook the jade bracelet that she had snatched back not long ago.
"You!" Liu Qingqing stamped her foot in anger, causing her ankle to twist and she grimaced in pain. "Hiss—hum! I don't want this bloody, unlucky thing even if you give it to me!"
Chen Zhaoyue's eyes curved slightly, and her fingers casually wiped the blood stains on them, then she looked at Liu Hongyang aggrievedly.
"So Dad, are you really going to send me to the countryside?"
"Well..." Liu Hongyang raised his eyebrows, with a hint of impatience in his eyes: "The current situation forces you to go to the countryside to avoid the limelight. When Dad has made arrangements, he will pick you up."
"oh."
Chen Zhaoyue lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes.
In the original book, Liu Hongyang fled to Hong Kong with all his property and his wife and daughter. How could he have known that the original owner would suffer a tragic fate after going to the countryside?
"Thank you, Dad." Chen Zhaoyue responded in a pretentious manner, tightening the jade bracelet in her hand.
She came through here to get away from this terrible family, but she couldn't follow the arrangement in the original book!
Liu Hongyang nodded with satisfaction and turned to Cao Jing and Liu Qingqing: "You two, behave yourself for the time being and don't cause any trouble for me!"
After saying that, he strode towards the study, his back revealing a sense of displeasure.
Cao Jing supported Liu Qingqing and when she passed by Shen Zhaoyue, she lowered her voice and said, "Little bitch, don't think that this is the end... You will have a hard time in the countryside!"
Shen Zhaoyue smiled back and just raised her hand, which frightened the two men so much that they quickened their pace.
Returning to his room, Shen Zhaoyue locked the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
She spread out her palm, and the emerald green jade bracelet shone with a strange luster under the light. The blood on it had actually seeped into the jade, forming a few dark red lines.
"Is this Liu Qingqing's golden finger from the original book?" Chen Zhaoyue muttered softly as she looked at the bracelet, unconsciously wiping the jade bracelet with her fingers: "How do I open the space?"
She remembered that in many novels, the master was recognized by dripping blood. Just now, she had accidentally stained the jade bracelet with blood, but nothing happened.
She tried to draw circles on the jade bracelet with her bloody fingers, but there was still no response.
"Is there some kind of spell I should chant?" Chen Zhaoyue thought for a moment, "Prajnaparamita?"
bracelet:"……"
"Open sesame? Open watermelon? Open eggplant?"
bracelet:"……"
Still no response.
"Forget it, let's take care of the wound first. I have the jade bracelet in my hand, and there is plenty of time to study it." Chen Zhaoyue sighed helplessly. Although the wound on the back of his head was no longer bleeding, it still hurt.
She walked over to her dressing table and checked herself in the mirror.
At this moment, the jade bracelet suddenly became hot.
