Chapter 12 Fake Bracelet

Qin Yue said: "Did you misunderstand something? That little girl looks a lot like you, and Mr. Huo doesn't seem like someone who would find a substitute to marry..."

Yuan Xi stroked her belly and smiled faintly, "I didn't know Huo Shiyan when I was a child. We got married only because we had a child."

Back in the box, Huo Shiyan placed a plate of fruit in front of Yuan Xi, "Would you like some fruit?"

"it is good."

Yuan Xi ate the summer black grapes that Huo Shiyan had peeled. The sweet and sour taste suppressed the discomfort of morning sickness.

Huo Shiyan and Si Chen were chatting about the new movie project.

Youzi Film and Television is going to make a science fiction movie, with an estimated investment of around 500 million. Si Chen also intended to seek investment from Huo Shiyan during the dinner today.

Huo Shiyan did not agree immediately, and whispered on the way back to the mansion from Ruo Lake.

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan curiously, "Five hundred million investment is not much, and Mr. Si only asked you to invest fifty million, why didn't you agree?"

Huo Shiyan said: "Five hundred million is not enough to make a science fiction movie. Once you get into his trap, it will be difficult to get out. The initial fifty million may cost more than two hundred million in the later stage. If the box office is not as good as expected when it is released, all these investments will be completely wasted."

"What a pity. I quite liked the original movie he's going to remake, Escape from the Galaxy."

Yuan Xi said lightly.

Huo Shiyan took out his cell phone and sent a message to Si Chen, then put the phone in his coat pocket.

In May, the lakeside is filled with the sounds of frogs and insects.

Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyan as they walked, "When I was a kid, I loved coming here with my friends to catch frogs and insects. There were a lot of fireflies here during summer vacation. I remember one summer vacation, my friends and I sneaked out late at night, walked three kilometers around the lake and came here to catch fireflies."

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi and asked, "Are there still fireflies here now?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "I haven't been here in the summer for almost eight years. I don't know if there are still fireflies. When I was a kid, my brother Zhuangzhuang was very good at catching fireflies. Unfortunately, he went to the United States to study in the first grade of junior high school, and since then, no one has taken us out to catch fireflies during the summer vacation."

Huo Shiyan said: "This summer, I will take you to catch fireflies."

Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "Okay."

After the two of them walked back to Ruo Hu Mansion, Yuan Xi took a bath and then lay on the bed to think about what kind of jadeite to give to Yang Ying as a gift.

Yuan Xi knew nothing about jadeite and had no idea about its various values, so he could only do his homework now.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi checking the jadeite and asked, "Do you want to buy jadeite?"

"Well, for my mom."

Huo Shiyan said, "I just got two jade bracelets. I was going to give them to my grandmother, but I made a mistake with the bracelet's circumference and was about to return them. What circumference does your mother wear?"

Yuan Xi really didn't know what kind of bezel Yang Ying wore. She thought about it and sent a message to Chu Lin.

Chu Lin replied quickly, "56 circumference, do you have money to buy a bracelet for your mother? I'll transfer the money to you."

"No need." Yuan Xi said, "I have money."

Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyan: "56 laps."

Huo Shiyan said: "That's great, I'll get it and you can take a look."

After getting out of bed, Huo Shiyan went to the study. Not long after, he came back with two jewelry boxes. Yuan Xi opened them and saw bracelets full of green, transparent and smooth. Even though Yuan Xi didn't know much about jadeite, she had heard of imperial green.

Yuan Xi asked: "Isn't this the legendary imperial green bracelet?"

"Not really, it's just Yang Green, it's not as valuable as Imperial Green. If you like it, give it to mom."

Yuan Xi closed the jewelry box and said, "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."

The blue diamond ring was given to her as a wedding ring when they got married, so Yuan Xi felt at ease accepting it.

But this jade bracelet is so valuable that Yuan Xi really can't just accept it.

Huo Shiyan moved closer to Yuan Xi, with their noses touching. "We've already got the marriage certificate, Mrs. Huo. All property will be divided equally after marriage. There's no need to divide it between us. Do you understand?" Yuan Xi nervously gripped the bed sheet, causing wrinkles on the silk sheet.

Huo Shiyan took a deep breath and said, "I'll go take a shower first."

Yuan Xi said: "You have washed..."

After all, Yuan Xi was not an eighteen-year-old girl anymore, and she quickly understood what Huo Shiyan meant. She blushed and went to bed.

……

The work for the next two days was still busy. Perhaps because she had to get off work at 5:30 on time, Yuan Xi felt that her working hours were particularly short.

When it was almost time to get off work on Friday, Chu Lin arrived at Mi Chen Games.

Chu Lin knocked on Yuan Xi's desk: "Secretary Yuan, you are very busy."

Yuan Xi said: "Indeed, he is not as free as Mr. Chu."

Chu Lin smiled and said, "Today, the Chu family is having a dinner party. Bo Fan and his parents and sister will also come to eat together. Mom asked me to take you home. If Gu Hanchen asks you to work overtime, I will beat Gu Hanchen up and make you go home."

Yuan Xi didn't believe that Yang Ying would let Chu Lin beat Gu Hanchen, but she had no reason to refuse this dinner.

Gu Hanchen walked out of the office and heard this, and snorted, "Who asked her to work overtime? She gets off work at 5:30 every day these days. You can't take her away now. She still has ten minutes before she gets off work, not a minute less."

Yuan Xi went to the bathroom and called Huo Shiyan, telling her that she was going to the Chu family today and there was no need for Huo Shiyan to pick her up.

After get off work, Yuan Xi took Chu Lin's car to go to Chu's house.

Yang Ying had been waiting outside the Chu family since early in the morning. Chu Yan looked at them jealously and said, "Mom, the sun is so hot. Why don't you go inside and wait?"

"It's almost six o'clock, how can the sun still be shining? Xin'er is back, I'll be fine if I wait a little longer."

Chu Yan whispered: "Mom, is it because Xin'er is back that you don't like me anymore?"

Yang Ying put her hand on Chu Yan's shoulder and said, "Silly child, you are the daughter chosen by your parents. Our love for you will not change, but we also love Xin'er, and we really feel guilty towards her."

When Yuan Xi arrived at Chu's house, he saw the mother and daughter hugging each other. After getting out of the car, Yuan Xi walked up to Yang Ying and said, "Mom, Chu Yan."

Chu Yan said: "Sister, you are here. Mom has been waiting for you outside for a long time. Mom has never waited for me like this before."

Yang Ying stepped forward and looked at Yuan Xi and asked, "Why have you lost weight? How is your stomach problem?"

"I'm much better now. By the way, Mom, this is the jade bracelet I gave you. It can be considered a belated Mother's Day gift."

Yuan Xi took out two wooden boxes from his bag.

Yang Ying said with a sad face: "You have this kind heart, and mom is really touched."

Chu Yan came forward to take a look, "What kind of jade is it? Let me see, Mom, Bo Fan and I also prepared an imperial green pendant for you. Originally, I wanted to give it to you together with my sister, but my sister may not know that you only love jade, so she said she would give you other gifts."

"Look, here comes Bo Fan and Aunt Bo's car."

Chu Yan went to the Bo family's car, and after Bo Fan got out of the car, she hugged Bo Fan's hand intimately, "Did you bring the card of no trouble?"

Bo Fan took out a box, walked up to Yang Ying and said, "Yan Yan felt that the Mother's Day gift I gave you was not good enough, so I specially picked out a piece of Laokeng Imperial Green for you."

Yang Ying took it and said, "That's thoughtful. Yanyan is also filial."

Chu Yan looked at the two wooden boxes in Yang Ying's hands and said, "Mom, open them and see what kind of jade bracelet my sister gave you. Aunt Bo is here, she is an expert, let her take a look."

Yang Ying opened a box and the transparent green bracelet inside was very dazzling.

Chu Yan picked up the jade bracelet and immediately threw the green bracelet in his hand to the ground. The jade bracelet broke into three pieces.

"Oh, sister, it's ok for you to wear a fake diamond ring, but why did you give mom a fake bracelet? This dyed and acid-washed jade bracelet can cause cancer if worn!"
