After Shi Nuan said that, Fu Chengyan could not help but furrow his brows. Yun Jing and Old Mrs. Yun were indeed behaving a little strangely. I thought Yun Shen seemed evil, but the others from the Yun family acted even more abnormally than him.
When Shi Nuan saw the look on Fu Chengyan’s face, she knew her husband was keeping tabs on his mind. “Never mind them. After all, we don’t have much interaction with the Yun family.”
Fu Chengyan nodded. “Let’s get in the car.”
When they returned, Ning Xin was surprised that they were home early. “I thought young people like you would spend more time socializing.”
“There were too many people. Yan was concerned that I’d get tired, so we came home early.” Shi Nuan held Ning Xin’s hands and asked, “Aunt Ning, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”
“I was worried about you, so I waited here,” replied Ning Xin as her gaze fell on Shi Nuan’s hand. “What is this?”
Shi Nuan quirked her lips and pointed at the bracelet. “Old Mrs. Yun insisted on giving this to me and said it was a gift. Aunt Ning, Yan told me you also have one. Is that true?”
“Yes, it’s true!” Ning Xin nodded and continued, “Actually, your grandma gave it to me. She said it was a pair of bracelets. After your great-uncle passed away, your great-aunt married another person and took the bracelet with her. I never thought that she would give it to you today.”
Ning Xin was quite surprised. She was not familiar with Jiang Jingyun. When she married into the Fu clan, Jiang Jingyun had remarried many years ago. Thus, it was natural for Ning Xin not to know the character of Jiang Jingyun. Fu Heng’s mother told Ning Xin regarding the matter. However, as it was already in the past, no one mentioned it anymore.
Looking at Fu Chengyan, Ning Xin found the answer in his eyes. Then, she nodded. “It originally belonged to the Fu clan. Since she has given it to you, keep it.”
Fu Zhengyun came downstairs right after Ning Xin finished her words. When he saw the jade bracelet on Shi Nuan’s wrist, his expression changed slightly.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
Shi Nuan noticed the strange look on Fu Zhengyun’s face. So, she parted her lips and asked, “Is it because of this bracelet?”
Fu Zhengyun shook his head. “It’s nothing. Since she has given it to you, just take it.”
Then, he glanced at Fu Chengyan and said, “Yan, come with me to the study.”
Shi Nuan felt Fu Zhengyun was going to say something, but since he refused to elaborate, she would not ask any further. Yet, Shi Nuan could not help but look at Fu Chengyan when Fu Zhengyun called the latter. Her husband patted her hands and said, “Keep Aunt Ning company and chat with her. If you’re really tired, go to the room and sleep.”
“Okay!”
Following Fu Zhengyun to the study, Fu Chengyan saw the solemn expression on the former’s face. “Grandpa, are you concerned because of the bracelet?”
Fu Zhengyun’s expression was indeed somber. He sighed after hearing Fu Chengyan’s question. “It’s fine. However, I feel that she has some hidden intentions by returning the bracelet suddenly.”
“Grandpa, what do you mean?” Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows and continued, “Is it due to something else that happened back then?”
Fu Zhengyun raised his head and looked at Fu Chengyan inquisitively. After a while, he smiled. “How was your trip to the Yun family today?” “It looks like Yun Jing will be the head of the Yun family for sure,” replied Fu Chengyan.
However, Fu Zhengyun abruptly raised his head and asked, “Is it confirmed?”
Fu Chengyan did not understand the look on Fu Zhengyun’s face. “Probably, because Old Mrs. Yun said so. Moreover, Yun Jing is the first child of the family. It will be him naturally. Since when you cared about the affairs of the Yun family?”
For some reason, Fu Zhengyun heaved a sigh. “Did you meet the third child of the Yun family?”
Fu Chengyan smiled. “Yes.”
“I think he can handle the Yun family instead,” commented Fu Zhengyun.
Hearing that, Fu Chengyan raised his brows, and his eyes lit up. The smile on his face became inscrutable.
Looking at Fu Chengyan’s expression, Fu Zhengyun thought his grandson had the same idea as he did. “Do you also think Yun Shen is a good candidate?”
“Among the three heirs in the Yun family, Yun Shen has the best qualities of a leader indeed, and he is smart. Nevertheless, his identity is a bit awkward. That’s why he was not selected to be the candidate from the beginning. Grandpa, are you trying to interfere in the Yun family’s matter?”
Hearing that, Fu Zhengyun creased his brows and commented, “There is one thing that I am unaware of at first. I think you should keep an eye out about it.”
“Grandpa, what is it?”
“Your great-aunt had a misunderstanding with the Fu clan before getting remarried back then.” Fu Zhengyun shook his head and shut his eyes briefly before adding, “Your great-uncle, he… his accident was not an accident!”
A sharp look flashed through Fu Chengyan’s eyes. He asked, “Grandpa, what do you want to tell me?”
