Chapter 14 How Am I?
- After three full seconds, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Yao Shi Lian!"
- "Oh my god, it's actually the Yao Shi Lian, one of the two treasures displayed at the jewelry exhibition held by the Qin family some time ago!"
- "I've been to that jewelry exhibition before, and this is indeed the Yao Shi Lian."
- Everyone stared intently at the box in Li Xue's hand, which contained a string of red pendants.
- As for Xia Qin and the others, they were dumbfounded on the spot. "How is this possible?"
- "Did Xiao Chen really give this?"
- They couldn't even dream that Xiao Chen could actually give such a precious gift.
- "It's just a string of pendants, what's so special about it?" Li Xue's cousin and others who didn't know about the Yao Shi Lian sneered.
- In their eyes, whatever Xiao Chen gave must not be very valuable.
- But as soon as they finished speaking, someone nearby said, "It's just a string of pendants? It's worth 30 million!"
- "30... 30 million?" Li Xue's cousin and others widened their eyes and were dumbfounded.
- As for Li Xue, when she heard the exclamation, her heart trembled. She reluctantly opened her eyes and her gaze was immediately captivated by the pendants in front of her.
- She had fantasized countless times about what she would look like wearing the Yao Shi Lian. But she never expected that at this moment, the pendants would actually appear in her hands.
- After a moment, tears welled up in her eyes and began to fall.
- Thinking back to her misunderstandings and prejudices against Xiao Chen at home, as well as the things she said to him, Li Xue felt a wave of guilt in her heart.
- And when she thought about Xiao Chen's past kindness towards her and the attitude of the Jiang family towards her just now, her tears quickly blurred her vision.
- "Dad, I want to make a call to my brother." After a moment, Li Xue looked up at Li He and said.
- "Okay, I'll call him right away." Li He quickly took out his phone, dialed Xiao Chen's number, and handed the phone to Li Xue.
- After a moment, the call was connected.
- "Brother Xiao Chen, I'm sorry." Li Xue's voice was choked with tears.
- After a moment, Xiao Chen's voice came from the phone, "Why are you crying? Did the people from the Jiang family bully you? Do you want me to take revenge for you?"
- In his voice, there was a hint of anger, just like when Xiao Chen protected her when they were students and she was being bullied.
- Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Li Xue couldn't hold back anymore and tears gushed out. "Brother Xiao Chen, you are the one who loves me the most, who cares about me the most. But I was petty and misunderstood you."
- "Brother Xiao Chen, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
- "It's okay." Xiao Chen smiled. How could he be angry with his little sister?
- "Then, can you come to my engagement banquet?" Li Xue asked eagerly.
- After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen nodded and agreed, "Okay."
- Only then did Li Xue hang up the phone with joy in her heart.
- At this moment, Zhou Ru snorted coldly, "Hmph! Li Xue, the auspicious time has come. Does your so-called brother still want to interrupt the engagement ceremony?"
- "Since you are marrying into our Jiang family, you have to listen to us. Now, I say the engagement ceremony will continue."
- Li Xue bit her lip and said, "If Brother Xiao Chen doesn't come, I won't marry!"
- Hearing this, Jiang Chen's face changed and he quickly looked at Zhou Ru, "Aunt, just wait a moment."
- But how could Zhou Ru listen?
- At this moment, her face turned cold and she sneered, "Not getting married? Very well, our Jiang family doesn't want to marry a lowly servant like you either."
- "All of you lowly people have no right to marry into our Jiang family."
- Even if Li Xue had a brother who could give her the Yao Shi Lian pendant.
- But so what?
- If it was before, she might still be a little afraid.
- But now, even Zhang the secretary, Old Man Qin, and others personally came to visit and drink the wedding wine.
- Li Xue's brother was not even worth mentioning in her eyes.
- "Is that so?" Just as she was speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door.
- A young man slowly walked into the Jiang family.
- Every step he took seemed to tread on the hearts of everyone, causing a palpable sensation.
- "I heard that you said my sister is a lowly servant and that it is her honor to marry into the Jiang family?"
- "I heard that you said my parents have lowly status and can only be second-class?"
- "I heard that you said our Li family are all lowly people?"
- Xiao Chen's tone was calm, but every word seemed to carry immense weight.
- His gaze swept across everyone, finally landing on Zhou Ru, "So, what do you think of me?"
