Chapter 306 Broken
The man said very solemnly: "Give me one of your personal belongings." Gu's mother then took off the bracelet from her hand and handed it to the man, saying: "This was given to me by my mother. It's an heirloom. I've been wearing it since before I got married and have never taken it off." The man looked at it and nodded, then took out a very beautiful box, hid the paper underneath, and then put the bracelet inside.
The man handed the box over again. "His destined partner will receive the feeling and use blood to initiate this marriage. I've observed your bracelet and it seems to have another adventure. If it works out, it will be a blessing for this child."
Then the man looked at Mother Gu again and said, "Let's start preparing as soon as possible."
Mother Gu didn't understand, but she put the box away solemnly, then took out all the money she had and handed it to the man: "Sir, this is all I have on me. If it's not enough, I'll bring more later." The man shook his head: "I don't want your money, just leave the buns to me."
Gu's mother disagreed, but she was not as anxious as the man. In the end, the man took the buns and left without looking back.
Gu's mother also returned home with Gu Jinyan. Her face was heavy, which attracted the attention of Ye's father and mother. Gu's mother told the whole story from beginning to end, of course concealing the fact that she had died young. Ye's father was fine. Ye's mother thought for a while and said, "I've heard about this before. There was indeed a beggar who was very good at fortune-telling, but he didn't tell fortunes for everyone, only for those who were destined to be with him. Whether it's true or not, we just need to do what we should do carefully. Keep the bracelet and box well."
After dinner, while in Han City, Mother Gu emphasized the seriousness of the box to Gu Jinyan every day. She knew that she probably didn't have much time left, and if she didn't tell him now, there would be no chance later. Gu Jinyan's ears were callused from listening to it during this period, but he also remembered the matter firmly in his mind.
Even if I don't remember what Gu's mother told me later, I still remember the importance of the bracelet.
Time passed again, and Ye Qian came to the day when the bracelet was broken. She witnessed Gu Jinyan arguing with his stepmother. Cui Jiali sneaked into Gu Jinyan's room and stole the bracelet from the bedside table. Just when she was about to put it on her hand, Gu Jinyan returned to the room and saw Cui Jiali open the box. He immediately shouted: "What are you going to do with my mother's relics, you evil woman."
When Cui Jiali saw Gu Jinyan coming to grab the bracelet, she pushed him away. Gu Jinyan fell and hit his forehead, and blood was flowing. Gu Jinyan touched his head and saw blood, and shouted: "Help, someone is killing someone." Gu Jinyan ran out while shouting, attracting a lot of people.
To be honest, Ye Qian was frightened by what she saw, fearing that something might happen.
There were quite a few servants at home, so naturally there were quite a few people coming, which also attracted Gu Ting's father, who was resting at home. Seeing his son was injured, he asked, "What happened? Why is the young master injured? How did you do it?"
Gu Jinyan pointed at Cui Jiali and said, "She was the one who hurt me. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Seeing that Gu Jinyan was talking about Cui Jiali, Gu's father became biased and said, "Why did she hurt you for no reason? It must be because you were naughty." Hearing this, Ye Qian kicked him, but she was a soul, so even if she kicked, it would be useless and Gu's father could not feel it.
"She sneaked into the room and took my mother's belongings." Gu Jinyan said, pointing to the bracelet that Cui Jiali was still holding on her hand and was reluctant to put it down. Cui Jiali moved her hand back anxiously, and this action confirmed her stealing. Gu's father was a little dissatisfied with this behavior: "If you want the bracelet, I will buy it for you. Why did you take Chenxi's belongings? Give it back to him." Gu Jinyan's mother was called Ye Chenxi.
Seeing Father Gu calling Chenxi affectionately, she felt a little uncomfortable, "I just like wearing the bracelet. Can't I wear it even though I'm dead?"
Gu Jinyan was smart since childhood, and immediately threatened: "Aren't you afraid that my mother will come to find you in the middle of the night?" This was so creepy that even Gu's father was a little scared. He scolded Gu Jinyan with a stern face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Jinyan didn't care and shouted to Cui Jiali: "Give it to me."
Cui Jiali was startled. Seeing that Gu's father did not protect her, she reluctantly handed the bracelet to Gu Jinyan. Then her eyes rolled, and before she could reach Gu Jinyan's hand, her hand loosened and the bracelet fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. She said arrogantly, "I gave it back to you, you can't hold it by yourself."
"You obviously did it on purpose. You let go before I even got it. You vicious woman, you're going to destroy yourself if you can't get it." Father Gu got angry when he saw Gu Jinyan talking about his woman like that: "Gu Jinyan, what are you talking about? This is your stepmother."
Cui Jiali looked very proud. Gu Jinyan kept saying, "I don't have a stepmother. If you want one, just keep one for yourself." After that, he picked up the broken bracelet and returned to his room. When Gu's father was angry and wanted to speak again, Gu Jinyan said coldly, "You will get your retribution."
After saying this slowly, he closed the door and locked it. He then ignored the people outside and cursed at him. He just shed tears and put the broken bracelet carefully into the box. "Mom, I miss you so much. This woman is so mean. I don't want to live with them."
She fell asleep while crying. Ye Qian felt heartbroken when she saw Gu Jinyan as a child.
The next day, Gu Jinyan called the Ye family and told his grandparents. A few days later, someone from the Ye family came to pick Gu Jinyan up. Since then, Gu Jinyan has never returned to the Gu family and has been growing up with his grandparents in Han City. Cui Jiali is naturally happy and at ease. Without this eldest son, her children will naturally get a lot of benefits.
But she has not been able to give birth to a child for Father Gu over the years, which has always been her regret.
Ye Qian did not see what happened next, because after Gu Jinyan fell asleep, she returned to the space, but this time was different. She looked around and saw a door in the space, which was not there before. Ye Qian did not rush to open the door, but tried to see if she could get out. But after trying several times, she was left with disappointment. She could not walk to the door, so she opened it in one go and walked in.
Unlike her own space, hers was square and square, and all she could see were her things, nothing else. But this place was different. It was huge. Ye Qian estimated it to be the size of a football field. Inside, there was blue sky and white clouds, birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. No, there were no birds, no flowers either, but there were a lot of weeds on the ground. Ye Qian saw what looked like a well in the distance, and she ran towards it. She had an idea in her mind.
