Only then did Lin Jiu realize that her hand was still holding the man's wrist. She was too focused on the fake in the scholar's hand.
"I'm tired." Lin Jiu didn't want to say more and left without looking back.
The man remained calm throughout.
He tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly with his fingers, slowly and calmly watching Lin Jiu's back as he left.
He is young, dressed simply, and knows how to appraise treasures... What is his identity?
The bodyguard suggested, "Mr. Huo, should we bring her back?"
"No need." Huo Shen's eyes fell on his wrist. The place where the girl had grabbed it was still slightly red. "She was not doing business at the counter just now. Ask someone to check."

Huo's Jewelry Underground Garage
"Yaoyao, why is your car here? Didn't you drive today?"
The girl, dressed up in fancy clothes, turned her head to look at her best friend who was holding her arm.
Lin Yao's eyes flashed, the corners of her eyes drooped, and her tone was full of grievance, "Gu Xi, don't ask anymore."
The more pitiful Lin Yao looked, the more Gu Xi wanted to know what was going on.
After further questioning, she finally learned the whole story. The more she listened, the more she felt indignant for her best friend. "This is outrageous! An illegitimate daughter dared to steal your car!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in a black T-shirt and ripped jeans opened the door of a pink Porsche.
Gu Xi frowned and looked at Lin Yao: "Is this the illegitimate daughter?"
Lin Yao bit her lip and nodded slightly.
"How can you go into Huo's Jewelry when you're dressed like this?" Gu Xi's eyes were filled with contempt. "I'll go and take care of her for you!"
"Don't... Gu Xi." Lin Yao grabbed Gu Xi's wrist and shook it gently. "Although she is an illegitimate daughter, she is my sister after all."
"She's bullying you, and you're still speaking up for her." Gu Xi watched the pink Porsche leave the garage and shook his head helplessly, "Yaoyao, sometimes you can't be too kind...it's easy for others to take advantage of you..."
Lin Yao nodded without saying anything, hiding all her emotions, and smiled sweetly at her best friend.
Lin family
When Lin Yao returned home, she saw Lin Hong sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Lin Hong is busy with work all day and rarely stays at home leisurely for a long time.
"What is Dad waiting for?" Lin Yao asked obediently.
"Waiting for delivery." Lin Hong's eyes did not leave the TV.
Lin Yao was still thinking about how her gift was taken away by Lin Jiu. Fortunately, her mother asked her father to buy her another one.
Lin Yao must confirm this matter again.
She heard about the housekeeper being sent away for putting laxatives in his coffee and knew that her father might be in a bad mood.
She gently sat down next to Lin Hong, carefully peeled an apple and handed it to him, "Dad, you've worked hard, have some fruit."
Lin Hong glanced at his daughter who had been sensible since childhood, and felt quite relieved.
Seeing her father smiling as he took the apple, Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed, "Dad, there's something I don't know whether I should say or not..."
"What?" Lin Hong laughed, "Is there anything you can't tell Dad?"
Lin Yao bit her lip. "That car... was given to me by you, Dad. It's the most special and favorite gift to me. But since my sister likes it, I'll give it to her... But... doesn't school start tomorrow?"
"Yaoyao, Daddy will arrange this for you tonight."
Lin Yao curled her lips, then shook Lin Hong's hand and said coquettishly, "Dad, I think I saw my sister at Huo's Jewelry today. Huo's Jewelry just happened to have a large business cocktail party. I guess my sister is interested in social activities in high society, but she also has to pay attention to the Lin family's reputation in high society. But her dress..."
"Did she go there wearing jeans and a T-shirt?" Lin Hong looked at his watch.
"Yes, I think it's a good thing that my sister likes freedom, but she also has to consider the Lin family's reputation in Bincheng's upper class society."
"Yaoyao, Dad is very pleased that you understand this truth." Lin Hong patted the back of Lin Yao's hand with satisfaction.
"But..." Lin Yao was interrupted by the doorbell before she could finish her words.
Lin Yao quickly turned on the intercom video of the courtyard gate, and on the other side was a handsome young man in a suit.
"Excuse me, is Miss Lin home? Please sign for your gift!"
Lin Yao smiled instantly, "Just drive in."
The handsome boy in the video was all smiles. “Okay, Ms. Lin, I’ll drive the car in right away.”
The handsome young man drove a car full of clothes into the yard, and then walked into the living room with a few people carrying boxes of different sizes.
