Chapter 553: Chapter 553: The Jade Pendant and Obsession
anwhile, Luo Fan continued in a gentle voice, “Yalan, don’t be nervous. I won’t save her, but I also don’t want you to hurt her.”
Gu Yalan’s eyes widened, and she bit her teeth, hesitating.
“Yalan, you are also a good girl. Having blood on your hands for no reason will ruin you. Don’t rush to leave. Isn’t all this because of the jade bracelet? It just happens to be in the car. I’ll go get it for you,” he said.
Saying this, he no longer hesitated and turned toward his car.
Gu Yalan did not expect Luo Fan to say such things.
These days, all her anguish had been for that jade bracelet.
If the jade bracelet hadn’t been lost, even if Luo Fan did not acknowledge their marriage, they would still have sothing to discuss.
But without the jade bracelet, she would have nothing, and she’d beco a laughingstock for others.
If she still had the bracelet, who would dare to laugh at her?
That jade bracelet beca an obsession for Gu Yalan.
So, she stopped in her tracks.
The bodyguard, not understanding the situation, whispered, “Second Miss, aren’t we leaving?”
Gu Yalan whispered back, “Wait a mont…”
She wanted to see if the jade bracelet Luo Fan would bring out was indeed the one she knew.
She recognized that bracelet.
At this mont, Luo Fan quickly opened the car door.
He took out a box from inside.
After he snatched back the jade bracelet, he had carelessly placed it in the car.
He had originally planned to return it to his grandmother, but considering the situation was rather upsetting, it remained in the car—though he never discarded it.
After all, the jade bracelet was a family heirloom,
his grandmother had worn it for decades, and it was of excellent quality. How could he possibly throw it away?
He hadn’t expected it to co in handy today.
Luo Fan then walked toward Gu Yalan holding the box.
As he walked, he opened the box.
He then held up the jade bracelet inside; under the sun, it exuded an ancient green, ethereal glow.
Gu Yalan removed her sunglasses, and there it was—the jade bracelet she cherished like a treasure.
A bodyguard stood by the shield,
pulled out a knife, and pointed it at Luo Fan with a stern voice, “Don’t co any closer!”
Although the man before them appeared to be on the delicate side,
appearances can be deceiving, and how could the heir of the Luo Family not know a few tricks?
Luo Fan’s footsteps did not stop; it was as if he did not see the knife at all.
Still holding the jade bracelet in his hand, he shouted to the bodyguards and Gu Yalan, “I have no weapons. Gu Yalan, let Gu Qianqian go, I’ll give you this bracelet. Do with it what you will.”
At this mont, the bodyguard, glaring fiercely at Luo Fan, muttered lowly, “Second Miss, you shouldn’t have stopped. If you hadn’t, they never would have known you were Gu Yalan.”
But inwardly, he cursed, thinking her such a fool that she might get caught by that woman today.
No matter what Luo Fan held in his hand, even if it were mountains of gold and silver, one shouldn’t have stopped.
At that mont, Gu Yalan also realized this problem.
She clenched her teeth and glanced at the jade bracelet.
Then, she signaled the bodyguard beside her with her eyes, “Let’s go.”
Saying that, she dragged Qianqian and started running toward the car.
But Luo Fan suddenly lifted his arm, throwing the jade bracelet in his hand toward Gu Yalan.
He shouted, “Gu Yalan, catch the jade bracelet!”
In that instant, Gu Yalan instinctively wanted to stop to catch the jade bracelet that had been thrown to her.
And the bodyguard, so infuriated he wished he could kick Gu Yalan into the river,
truly wanted to abandon these two won and escape alone.
