Xiang Xinrong's actions were indeed disgraceful.
The hushed whispers and Xiang Wanwan's relentless questioning made Xiang Xinrong's face turn bright red.
That brat, she actually still remembers this bracelet!
You've misjudged!
Xiang Xinrong replied directly with a stern face.
"Really? Then I'll have to take a closer look!" With that, she snatched the bracelet from her scumbag father's hand.
"You..." Xiang Xinrong didn't expect this brat to actually try to snatch it.
"This is mine!"
Xiang Shuxue tried to snatch it from her, but Xiang Wanwan dodged it by sidestepping.
She simply flipped the bracelet over and put it on her wrist, then looked at her scumbag father with a smug expression.
Come and try to steal it if you dare!
Xiang Xinrong was furious. "Xiang Wanwan, stop making a scene. This is a birthday present for your sister. Take it down right now."
Xiang Shuxue was so angry that she stomped her feet!
Just then, a deep yet authoritative voice rang out from the doorway: "Xiang Xinrong, have you no shame?"
The man was dressed in military uniform and wearing a military cap, and he strode in.
He walked straight up to Xiang Wanwan, reached out and patted her head, "Wanwan, you've been wronged, it's because your uncle is late!"
Is he Huo Zheng? The original owner's uncle?
With thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a square face, he exudes the aura of a soldier.
He turned to look at Xiang Xinrong, his gaze sharp as an eagle's.
"Xiang Xinrong, I can't control who you find women, but this is my sister's property. You dare to give it to someone else and see what happens!"
Xiang Xinrong was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
Why is he here?
Wasn't Huo Zheng always serving in the military in other places?
Why did Huo Zheng have to come back at this time of year?
He has a notoriously bad temper, and if he insists on giving this bracelet to Shuxue today, it might not be so easy.
After thinking for a moment, he took back the bracelet, a fawning smile on his face.
"I made a mistake!"
"The bracelet given to Shuxue was a different one. You took the wrong one!"
After saying that, he put the bracelet into the wooden box and handed it to Xiang Wanwan.
"This is your mother's dowry, so it's best for you to keep it."
Xiang Wanwan took it and immediately felt much more at ease.
Great, even though we didn't find that old man's vault!
At least we have a cheat code!
Xiang Shuxue was so jealous that her eyes turned red.
Those things clearly belonged to her, so why should she give them to Xiang Wanwan?
A voice inside her kept screaming that she had to get this bracelet back!
······
As darkness fell.
The guests gradually left.
Only the Ning family and Huo Zheng remained!
Huo Zheng rarely gets to see his niece, so he wanted to ask her about her situation.
He needs to know how Xiang Xinrong and his gang bullied her when he wasn't in Nanshi!
Xiang Wanwan answered Huo Zheng's questions one by one.
During the conversation, she could genuinely feel that her uncle truly cared for and loved her.
However, he was mostly away from Nanshi, so he couldn't watch her grow up!
