Chapter 269: Gu Family Heirloom
An indescribable feeling surged in Chi Jiangmo's heart. He felt depressed and wanted to vent but couldn't find a way. Moists gradually formed in the corners of his eyes.
He has always been an incompetent brother, but he didn't expect that after going through so much, Beibei would still be willing to call him "brother".
"Beibei, I'm sorry. I wronged you before."
"It's okay, brother." Sheng Beibei had already been relieved. When she learned that she was just a vicious female supporting role in the novel, she knew that Chi Jiangmo, as the heroine's biological brother, would never betray Chi Mingchu and stand on her side.
In this life, Sheng Beibei had never thought of relying on him. She called him brother only because of the brother-sister relationship of more than ten years.
Chi Jiangmo naturally also realized that since Mingchu came back, he and Beibei were no longer as close as they were when they were children, and now they were becoming more and more distant.
But it’s better this way, Beibei should return to his real family.
It was enough that she was willing to call him "brother".
"Beibei, I'll go back first." Chi Jiangmo had to go back quickly, lest his family find out that he had secretly come to the Sheng family to attend the banquet, especially Ming Chu, she would definitely make a big fuss.
Alas, I don’t know when Mingchu will be able to let go of his obsession.
"Brother, be careful on the road."
Sheng Beibei was about to send Chi Jiangmo to the door when Su Man stopped her.
"Beibei."
Chi Jiangmo waved to Sheng Beibei and left the venue in a hurry.
Suman looked embarrassed.
Before, Sheng Beibei was Ji Youli's nominal fiancée. Su Man only had feelings for Ji Youli for the sake of face, and it was impossible for her to treat Sheng Beibei sincerely. He was even secretly happy that Sheng Beibei was so cowardly and easy to control.
Later, Sheng Beibei and Gu Yanchuan became close. She disliked Sheng Beibei's bad personality, humble background, poor grades, and broken engagement. She was even more unfriendly to her and warned her to stay away from Gu Yanchuan.
And now Sheng Beibei has become the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. She ranked first in her grade and got full marks in the chemistry competition. She is no longer as timid as before.
She dared to guarantee that if it weren't for Gu Yanchuan, many wealthy families would be vying to have Sheng Beibei engaged to their sons.
I don’t know if what she did before will affect the relationship between Sheng Beibei and Gu Yanchuan.
"Beibei, please don't take to heart what your aunt said to you before."
"It's okay." Sheng Beibei didn't mind.
What Suman said to her had no hurtful power at all, and Suman didn't do anything to her.
There were none of the usual methods used by evil mothers-in-law in wealthy families, such as throwing checks, smearing, slapping, and kidnapping.
Moreover, she felt that Su Man did have some feelings for Gu Yanchuan, otherwise why would Su Man be so obsessed with breaking up her and Gu Yanchuan? It’s because she felt that she was not worthy of Gu Yanchuan before.
What she couldn't understand was what Su Man did to Gu Yanchuan when he was a child.
They beat and scolded me, locked me in a small dark room, and didn't give me any food.
Is Su Man really not afraid that Gu Yanchuan will die?
Gu Yanchuan, who had just strolled back from the bathroom, keenly sensed Su Man's presence. He stood beside Sheng Beibei, put his big hand on her shoulder, and looked at Su Man with a wary look.
Humph, he hasn't forgotten that this woman tried to break up him and the girl.
Su Man looked away quickly as if she had been scalded.
The tiny, soft baby back then has grown up. He is much taller than her and has a girl he likes. They have such a good relationship, it shouldn't be like her and Gu Sinan.
I hope Gu Yanchuan doesn’t inherit his father’s paranoia and madness.
Gu Yanchuan sneered. He had known for a long time that this woman thought he was a dirty thing and never looked at him straight in the eye.
Who made him the fruit of sin?
He used to be foolish and wanted to gain maternal love, but now he has come to terms with it and he will never shed a tear for this woman again.
His voice was indistinguishable: "What do you want?"
Su Man's body stiffened slightly, and she pretended not to hear Gu Yanchuan's words, and looked directly at Sheng Beibei.
"Beibei, today is your birthday. Auntie has a gift for you."
As she spoke, Su Man took out a jewelry box and slowly opened it. Inside was a mutton-fat jade bracelet. The jade was of top quality, and its whiteness, fineness, oiliness and other aspects were impeccable.
"This..." Sheng Beibei had been in the entertainment industry for a few years in his previous life and had some knowledge of jewelry appraisal.
The bracelet Su Man was holding was the finest of the Hetian jade bracelets, a mutton-fat jade bracelet. The jade was delicate and smooth, with excellent oiliness. It was obviously a priceless treasure at first glance.
Just give it to her casually as a birthday present?
"This is too expensive." Sheng Beibei didn't dare to accept it.
Gu Yanchuan said in a scoundrelly tone, "Xiaobei, keep it."
Anyway, this bracelet was given to this woman by the old man. It originally belonged to the Gu family. Instead of giving it to this woman and her precious son Ji Youli, it is better to give it to the little girl.
"This is a little gift from my auntie, just accept it." Su Man pulled Sheng Beibei's hand without saying anything and pretended to help her put on the bracelet.
Sheng Beibei was worried about breaking this thing, so she didn't dare to move it at all. The fine mutton-fat jade bracelet was just worn on her hand.
"It fits you very well." Su Man stared at Sheng Beibei's wrist in a trance.
When they divorced, Gu Sinan gave her a lot of real estate, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, including this mutton-fat jade bracelet.
This is the Gu family's heirloom and it should return to the Gu family.
"Thank you, thank you." Sheng Beibei was a little nervous.
This scene is like the mother-in-law handing the family heirloom to her daughter-in-law... Otherwise, why would Suman only give it to her and not Yuanyuan? This is not a birthday present at all.
It’s so strange, what kind of feelings does Su Man have for Gu Yanchuan? If he really hates Gu Yanchuan, he should also dislike her, right?
Why give such an expensive gift?
Gu Sinan, who was not far away, noticed that Su Man gave a mutton-fat jade bracelet to Sheng Beibei.
He couldn't help but walk closer and recognized that it was the Gu family's heirloom, which had always been given to the Gu family's daughters-in-law.
He murmured to himself: "Manman, I didn't expect you still kept it."
Gu Sinan thought Su Man had smashed this thing a long time ago.
The Gu family heirloom was well kept, and Manman even handed it over to Sheng Beibei personally. Does this mean that he still has a little place in Manman's heart?
When Su Man heard Gu Sinan's voice, her body trembled. She tried her best to control herself and did not lose her composure at Sheng Beibei's birthday party.
He is a devil! He ruined her life!
She should hate him and curse him to die early!
"Suman!"
A loud shout rang out in the meeting hall, filled with tremendous anger.
The guests present looked at each other in bewilderment. For a moment, all the conversations disappeared, leaving only the melodious background music.
