Chapter 99: The Jade Bracelet

When Shui Anjiao heard Shui Anluo’s words, her entire being turned into a lioness with her fur standing on end as she glared fiercely at Shui Anluo.
“What do you mean by ‘someone’s unwanted gift’? Father bought this for me,” Shui Anjiao retorted angrily.
Shui Anluo looked at her from top to toe with an uninhibited sense of disdain in her eyes. Even though An Jiahui was an intelligent person, Shui Anluo never thought that she would have such a slow-witted daughter.
“Shui Anjiao, look carefully. My name, Shui Anluo, is engraved on the bracelet.” If Shui Anluo remembers correctly, her name was still engraved somewhere inside.
Unfortunately, a certain someone had forgotten about that.
Shui Anjiao’s expression looked particularly ugly but she still looked down. The character ‘Luo’ was engraved very clearly on the other side of the jade pendant. What else could that be but a reference to Shui Anluo?
“Shui Anjiao, next time you want to act like a pretentious prick, look carefully. Don’t end up failing in your pretentiousness and get embarrassed in the process as well,” Shui Anluo calmly said. She stared at Shui Anjiao who was about to say something but she only turned around and left angrily in the end.
Shui Anluo chuckled and sat down immediately. Does Shui Anjiao want to see her, Shui Anluo, humiliated? That would depend on whether Shui Anjiao has that capability.
Qiao Yaruan only saw Shui Anjiao’s back when she returned. She placed the super large burger and several snacks down before sitting. “What’s Jiaojiao doing here?”
Shui Anluo looked down at the milk tea in her hand and calmly replied, “Shui Moyun had given her a costly bracelet. Maybe she saw me in here so she came to show off but she never thought that Shui Moyun had given that bracelet to me two years ago. My name is still engraved on it.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Shui Moyun is even capable of doing this sort of thing. How marvelous.”
“He had probably forgotten all about it,” said Shui Anluo with a hint of disappointment. However, she flung all of pessimism away and reached out to pick up the big burger, speaking as if she had no care in the world. “Shui Anjiao must have gone home to make a fuss. This is a good thing. I’m so hungry, I’m going to eat first.”
Qiao Yaruan’s heart aches for Shui Anluo but she did not show it. She munched on her fries slowly as she asked, “Hey, are you really going to go to the party tomorrow?”
“Why not? It’s such a great opportunity. He has gathered so many people himself, more than I could.” Shui Anluo said matter-of-factly. “Even though Shui Anjiao enjoys acting cocky in front of me, I’ll let her stay cocky before giving her a taste of the bone-crushing feeling of falling from heaven to hell.”
Qiao Yaruan stared at the hatred in Shui Anluo’s eyes and could not help but rub her head. “My poor doll, you’re being forced into madness.”
Shui Anluo looked up and stared at Qiao Yaruan before she slowly put the hatred in her eyes away as she bit into the burger. “After tomorrow, I’ll no longer have anything to do with Shui Moyun.”
She does not care if he was her biological father. After tomorrow, her dreams would come true. She would have nothing to do with that man. From then on, there would only be two people in her life — her mother and her son.
‘What about Chu Ningyi?’
As Shui Anluo was in the midst of her thoughts, Chu Ningyi suddenly jumped into her mind and she shook her head. She was overthinking things. She must have been, she must have been.
Her future does not have a shred of connection with Chu Ningyi.
Shui Anluo was establishing this in her heart when her phone suddenly rang. When she saw the display on the screen, she nearly threw the burger in her hand onto the ground.
‘Was this the saying ‘speak of the devil’?’
