Chapter 404: Cut off the hand wearing the jade bracelet
The Lu family chose jade bracelets as family heirlooms with a similar meaning to other heirlooms. First, the circular shape of the jade bracelet symbolizes harmony, perfection and prosperity. Second, influenced by jade culture, there is a saying that "no bracelet, no marriage". It is a necessity for marriage and a family heirloom.
The Lu family's jade bracelets have been passed down for hundreds of years, transcending the limitations of time and space, inheriting the family's wishes, and passing on from generation to generation.
The Lu family jade bracelet is a symbol. Getting this heirloom jade bracelet after marrying into the Lu family means being recognized by the Lu family. This is how Zhuo Yao received it from her mother-in-law.
Neither Mr. Lu nor Lu Yuan had expected that Zhuo Yao would be so bold as to directly give the Lu family's heirloom jade bracelet to Yu Wenjun.
Mr. Lu's eyes were heavy. He didn't expect Zhuo Yao to use such a bad method, and Lu Qi didn't even stop him.
Looking at the guests around him who were either worried or had shining eyes as if they were waiting to watch a show, Mr. Lu felt a surge of anger rushing from his chest to his forehead. He almost blurted out the word "idiot", but someone spoke before him.
"The Lu family's heirloom jade bracelet should be given to the future daughter-in-law. Why is it on this woman's hand? We need an explanation."
It was the aunt who asked first, but she didn't look at Yu Wenjun, but looked directly at Zhuo Yao. Uncle and aunt came to the birthday party today as future in-laws. Since Zhuo Yao and the others had caused such a thing, they had to ask clearly.
Zhuo Yao was already feeling uneasy under Mr. Lu's gaze, and was asked so bluntly. She, who had originally thought she was fearless, suddenly backed off a little and could only make excuses to explain, "Wenjun is our savior. She came here today without wearing any jewelry, so I gave it to her to wear."
"Can an heirloom jade bracelet be given to anyone to wear casually? Or can you answer me first, is this an heirloom jade bracelet of the Lu family?" Auntie interrupted Zhuo Yao impatiently and asked directly again.
Zhuo Yao glanced at Lu Qi and admitted, "Yes, it's the Lu family's heirloom jade bracelet."
"So what do you mean? You want to cancel our engagement?" Before my aunt finished her words, Lu Yuan and Old Man Lu immediately denied it.
"Nothing."
"Absolutely not!"
"Then why is she wearing your Lu family's heirloom jade bracelet?" Aunt looked at Lu Yuan, "Lu Yuan, what does this mean? How do you explain it?"
"I didn't know about it beforehand." Lu Yuan glanced at Zhuo Yao, "Aunt, you know they were poisoned by gas before, maybe their brains were damaged, and they haven't recovered completely yet."
Lu Yuan said that Lu Qi and Zhuo Yao were mentally ill and had not been cured yet and were unconscious. Lu Qi and Zhuo Yao were naturally unhappy. Just as they were about to speak, Yu Wenjun spoke.
Yu Wenjun seemed to have just recovered from her shock and quickly replied, "I didn't know this was the Lu family's heirloom jade bracelet. I thought it was just a jade bracelet. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll return it now."
Yu Wenjun's face was filled with anxiety and innocence, as if she knew nothing. She was sincere and moved quickly. She started to take off the jade bracelet immediately, but unfortunately she didn't take it off right away.
The jade bracelet fit perfectly on Yu Wenjun's hand, and she couldn't take it off, perhaps because she was in a hurry or for some other reason.
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I didn't mean to take it off. I will take it off and give it to you. I will definitely take it off." Yu Wenjun was anxious. She tried harder and harder while talking to Gu Qingshi, but she didn't take it off until her hands turned red.
Gu Qingshi watched her performance coldly and asked kindly, "Do you want me to get you a kitchen knife to chop off your hand? Then the jade bracelet can be taken off."
Yu Wenjun looked up in disbelief, but Lu Yuan's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea." After saying that, he actually asked someone to get a kitchen knife.
Yu Wenjun's hand with the jade bracelet was so eye-catching that Lu Yuan really thought it should be chopped off.
Zhuo Yao took a deep breath when she heard this and hurriedly called out to the people, "What nonsense are you talking about? What kitchen knife?"
She looked at Yu Wenjun soothingly, "Okay, okay, Wenjun, don't be scared, it's impossible, don't hurt your hand." After that, she looked at Gu Qingshi, "You are too cruel, you actually said you want to cut off your hand! If you want to blame someone for this, blame me. I gave the jade bracelet to Wenjun, and Wenjun didn't know about it at all."
When she looked at Gu Qing with hatred, she had only one feeling in her heart, that she could not keep this daughter-in-law, she really could not keep her. Just listen, she wanted to chop off her hand just for a jade bracelet, how terrible.
Now that Gu Qingshi has revealed her true colors, she won't be polite.
Zhuo Yao said bluntly, "Gu Qingshi, your cruelty is the reason why I have always been afraid of you and dislike you, so I gave the bracelet to Wenjun."
She held Yu Wenjun's hand and expressed her opinion, "This jade bracelet is just right for Wenjun. It's hard to take it off after putting it on. It can be considered destined. I think it's also a hint from God."
Zhuo Yao simply took the opportunity to express what she was thinking, which was something she and Lu Qi had thought of beforehand. She also took the opportunity to express her intention to change Yu Wenjun to be her daughter-in-law. She felt that Gu Qingshi's words were the perfect combination of time, place and people, and she must seize the opportunity.
Zhuo Yao's face turned red with excitement. Just as she was about to say the last sentence, she was interrupted by Mr. Lu.
"What are you implying? Are you implying that you're not smart? If you can't take it off, can't you use oil or soap to lubricate it? Why are you pretending, or do you really want to do as Qingshi said and chop it off with a kitchen knife?"
As soon as Mr. Lu opened his mouth, the whole audience fell silent.
Everyone could tell that Mr. Lu was angry, and he didn't hide it. He snorted coldly and looked at Zhuo Yao with an extremely cold look. Then he said directly, "Just because the Lu family jade bracelet is passed on to you doesn't mean you can decide where it goes."
In a word, the jade bracelet is only in Zhuo Yao's hand, but it does not mean that she can decide, and she has no right to decide who to give the jade bracelet to.
Mr. Lu spoke so impolitely. It was the first time he humiliated Zhuo Yao in front of so many people. You can imagine how angry he was.
You know, no matter what happened in the past, he always gave Zhuo Yao some face.
Zhuo Yao didn't expect that Mr. Lu would slap her in the face like this. Her face turned pale instantly and she was shaky. She didn't dare to look at other people.
At the same time, Yu Wenjun, who was trying hard to take off the bracelet, also froze. Mr. Lu's words were like a slap in Zhuo Yao's face, and also in her face.
Her innocent moment was made to look worthless. Mr. Lu didn't scold her, but this made her more embarrassed than if he had scolded her by name.
It turns out that she is just a fool in front of Mr. Lu, and a self-righteous fool at that.
After Mr. Lu finished speaking, everyone showed different expressions. Some laughed at Zhuo Yao for not being able to see her own identity clearly, and some laughed at Yu Wenjun for pretending.
Zhuo Yao felt that every look on her was like a knife, cutting her to pieces. She trembled in pain. Lu Qi, who was hugging her, felt distressed and looked at Old Man Lu, "Dad"
"If you are not feeling well or your mind is not clear, go back and rest." Old Master Lu did not give Lu Qi a chance to beg for mercy or speak. He interrupted him without even looking at him and spoke.
