Li Qishan thought that Lin Yitang was pretending to be ignorant. Anger welled up in his heart, but he still smiled and said: "Madam Wen is right, but my daughter has gone astray because of her infatuation with Mr. Wen, and someone deliberately led her astray. I hope that Madam will forgive my mistakes and let the Li family go." When Li Qishan said this, he thought of Tang Xiaoyun, and a cruel look flashed in his eyes. He winked at Madam Li beside him.
Mrs. Li had been standing behind her husband at first, her head lowered and her whole person gentle and kind. Then, she understood her husband's intention and smiled softly and considerately. She placed the item in her hand on the table in front of Lin Yitang, "Mrs. Wen, my brother is in the jewelry business. This is the jade necklace I painstakingly bought from him. I thought Mrs. Wen was indeed beautiful and this jade necklace was a good match for you, so I took the liberty of bringing it to you."
While smiling, she squatted down in front of Lin Yi and opened the box like a waiter.
Lin Yitang looked at the jade necklace in front of her. Even though she didn't know much about jade, she knew it was very expensive just by looking at the quality of it. It might even be sold out. Then she looked at the gentle woman in front of her, who didn't seem to be dissatisfied with her current appearance. She couldn't help but look up to her in her heart: she was a tough character who could bend and stretch herself.
If it was the original owner's timid personality, or anyone from an ordinary family who married into a wealthy family, no matter how hard they tried to hide it, they would inevitably lose their composure in the face of this situation. But unfortunately, Li Qishan and his wife were facing Lin Yitang, who had achieved great success in her previous life. She had visited jewelry stores and auctions when she was on tour abroad. She had seen a lot of expensive jewelry like this, so naturally she couldn't have any other emotions.
Mrs. Li had been paying attention to Lin Yitong's mood from the beginning. Seeing that her face remained calm, her heart tightened. It seemed that this time would not be as smooth as she had imagined.
As expected, she immediately heard Lin Yitang laugh and say, "It would be hard for me to accept such a valuable gift. Besides, it was given to you by Madam Li's brother. How could I steal it away from you? Madam Li, please take it back."
Not sure if the other party thought her sincerity was insufficient, Madam Li opened another box, revealing a luxurious, sparkling necklace. "Madam Wen, this is a new, high-end model from this year, and it complements your complexion perfectly. Please don't be so quick to refuse. This was my fault in the first place. This is a token of apology and thanks, a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."
Lin Yitang accepted it readily: "Then I'd better obey your command."
Since they had received the gift, the Li family couple thought that this matter had hope. Li Qishan was overjoyed and said, "I'd like to trouble Madam Wen to pay more attention to this matter."
Lin Yitang: "Mr. Li, that's not true. The Wen family has always followed the rules and would never step out of line. As long as the Li family really has no other intentions as you said, they will naturally not let the Li family suffer any unprovoked disaster."
The Li couple's expressions instantly faltered as soon as these words were spoken. Li Qishan stared at her intently, thinking to himself, "I really underestimated this Wen family lady. I thought I could easily manipulate her because of her humble background, but I didn't expect to be tricked. I've lost both the lady and the army." It would be fine if the Li family truly had no hidden agenda, but could Li Qishan guarantee that they didn't? He couldn't!
Li Qishan knew there was no way to end this peacefully, so he dropped his pretense and immediately tore off his gentle and refined mask. He looked at Lin Yitang with an extremely uncomfortable gaze, and sneered, "Ms. Lin, as a man, I remind you that a man's sincerity has a time limit. Don't think that you can become arrogant just because you are loved now. You won't know how you will fall when the time comes."
Lin Yitang covered his mouth with his hand and said in an exaggerated tone: "Mr. Li, look at you, why are you so anxious? Just take care of your own business, and don't bother with me."
