CHAPTER 244: CHAPTER 247: DO YOU KNOW WHO IT IS?

"Do you know who that person is?" Ye Xinluo asked.

Lan Shan nodded, "If I remember correctly, Jiang Yue’s brother is named Jiang Yan."

"What?" Ye Xinluo couldn’t believe it. How could Shanshan’s potential match chosen by uncle and aunt be Jiang Yue’s brother?

Shanshan didn’t get along with Jiang Yue, so if it really was her brother...

Thinking for a moment, she then said, "Auntie, there’s no need to rush into marriage, Shanshan is still young."

"She’s almost 23, is that still young? It’s about time for her to settle down."

"I’m obviously well-behaved, okay? How am I not good? If I were to go on a blind date with Jiang Yan, I’d never agree even if it killed me."

"Really?" Shen Xiaya was a bit skeptical.

"Have I gone anywhere recently? Other than hanging out with Xinluo, I haven’t gone anywhere. Please don’t set me up with anyone. Are you really in such a hurry to marry me off?"

Shen Xiaya nodded, as if what she said made sense. Ever since Xinluo came back, this girl really hadn’t gone anywhere, and she didn’t want her daughter to marry so soon, so she relented, "Then when should I talk to your dad about it?"

Hearing this, Lan Shan nodded firmly, "So do I not have to go tomorrow?"

"No, you still need to go tomorrow."

"Why?" Lan Shan asked puzzled.

"It’s too late to tell your dad now, just go and have a look tomorrow, it’s no big deal. If you don’t like him, you don’t like him, no one’s forcing you."

"Alright then." She pouted and drooped her head.

After a while, she lifted her head, "Xinluo, come upstairs with me, I have something for you."

"What is it?" Ye Xinluo asked, puzzled.

"You’ll know when you come, Mom, I’m going upstairs with Xinluo first."

"Go on then."

With permission, Lan Shan led Ye Xinluo to the second-floor bedroom, opened the door, and went inside.

"Shanshan, what do you want with me?" Ye Xinluo asked.

Lan Shan closed the door, walked to the vanity table, rummaged around, took out a box, and handed it to Ye Xinluo.

"What is this?"

The box in Lan Shan’s hand was exquisite, clearly a jewelry box.

"You’ll know when you look at it." Lan Shan smiled mysteriously, signaling her to open it.

Ye Xinluo took the box and opened it slowly. Inside, a beautiful bracelet lay quietly in the box.

The bracelet was made of pure gold, with intricate patterns carved all around. Though it was quite old, its quality remained unimpaired.

She reached out and took it in her hand.

"Check if there’s any damage..."

Before Lan Shan finished speaking, Ye Xinluo pulled her into a tight hug.

"Xinluo?" Lan Shan gently patted her back, clearly not expecting her to be so emotional.

Ye Xinluo buried her head in Lan Shan’s shoulder and spoke muffledly, "Shanshan, thank you."

Hearing this, Lan Shan smiled. "Silly girl, why are you thanking me?" She gently patted her back, soothing her restless heart.

Ye Xinluo, her voice choked, with her eyes reddening slightly, said, "Shanshan, really, thank you. I thought I’d never see it again."

The item in Ye Xinluo’s hand was the only thing left by her biological parents.

As she grew older, the bracelet could no longer be worn, so Ye Xinluo had carefully kept it safe.

Afraid of losing it by accident, when she went to high school, she even took it along, locking it up in a locker.
