Chapter 2316 - 2252: Accept It

She said dryly, "Well, the last time I went to Country Y, Mr. Wen Li taught me a little something."

Meng Xinian nodded and didn’t ask anything further.

Chiang Xiao quickly turned to Yang Zhiqi and said, "So, with such an expensive bracelet, Uncle Yang, you’d better take good care of it."

For example, is it really okay to accept this bracelet from that old comrade?

If there’s a problem, it’s better to return it to him.

Otherwise, won’t it cause trouble then?

Yang Zhiqi originally thought she was just reluctant to accept something so valuable, but after hearing what she said, he understood her meaning and was greatly moved.

She was genuinely thinking about him, not treating him as an outsider, which is why she spoke so directly and candidly.

He suddenly had a different view of Chiang Xiao.

No wonder even his sharp-eyed father quickly saw Chiang Xiao as his own granddaughter overnight.

Apart from Chiang Xiao healing him, she must have personality traits that his father highly values.

Now he understood that for those she acknowledges, Chiang Xiao is indeed sincere.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Chiang. It’s fine to take the bracelet. Actually, my old comrade said at the time he needed to borrow some money from me, and he would pay me interest—quite a large sum. He mentioned it as an investment, but I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that, so he later gave me this bracelet."

You could say it’s interest, although it’s not something to casually mention, it’s not really a big deal.

In fact, he got a pretty good deal because he didn’t know the bracelet was so valuable, exceeding the interest his friend had promised him at the time.

Chiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope Uncle Yang doesn’t think I’m meddling."

"Why would I? I’m very grateful to you." Yang Zhiqi glanced at Meng Xinian, "This kid Xinian is lucky to have found such a good fiancée like you."

Meng Xinian said proudly, "I’ve always had good taste."

Snort.

Give him a little sea salt and he’ll sprinkle it in the sky like stardust.

Not only does he have good taste, but he’s also quite skillful, with a thick skin—having made a move when Chiang Xiao was just thirteen.

If that’s not thick-skinned, what is?

"If you’re capable, convince Xiao Chiang to keep the bracelet," Yang Zhiqi glanced at Meng Xinian.

Meng Xinian said, "Take it back."

"You brat, you’re the one who asked for a meeting gift, now you’re telling me to take it back! Anyway, I’m not dealing with it! I’ll just leave the bracelet here and go cook my dinner! Also, when I went back to get the bracelet, I told your aunt it was for your wife, Xiao Chiang. Your aunt said if Xiao Chiang doesn’t accept it, she’ll come over herself to talk things over. So, handle it yourself."

After saying this, he immediately put the box on the table and turned to leave.

Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao looked at each other.

"What should we do?" Chiang Xiao was a bit at a loss.

In her previous life, she was always the one being taken from, never having experienced receiving gifts. It’s the same in this life; she’s never experienced people handing things back and forth like this, and she really doesn’t know what to do.

Should she take it back and leave it, then run?

In the end, see who can actually keep it?

"Accept it," Meng Xinian said, "He’s really determined to give it."

"Brother Xinian, this bracelet is very valuable." Chiang Xiao said seriously.
