Honestly speaking, even if he liked this young girl, she was after all, only 18 years old and possessed an indeterminate temperament. In the future, her horizons would be wider and her standards would also change. It seemed a little too early to talk about fiancées.

He didn't bring Xiao Xiao here to make things difficult for her. Back then, how much suffering did Xiao Xiao suffer because of her, but she didn't say a word and she still stayed by her side quietly. This was enough to prove the point.

Ruan Lao glared at Ling Chen in disappointment. He had really put himself on guard, so he couldn't take it anymore and wanted to protect Ling Chen after saying a few words.

"This is a gadget that I found in the past, just treat it as a present for you." Ruan Lao took the box and handed it over to Zhang Xiao Xiao. Even though his expression was ordinary, with his slightly curved wrinkles, people could still see how happy he was.

Ling Chen casually glanced at the box, his gaze suddenly contracted, and then frowned. He was about to stop him, but after seeing the warning from the old man, he chose to remain silent.

He had seen this box many times before. The reason he was fated to meet the old man was because of this box.

At that time, the old man accidentally lost the box and was picked up by him. Originally, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but after seeing the quality of the jade bracelet, he carefully put it in his pocket and personally sent people to look for the owner.

If such a thing was placed in the police station, it would be lost sooner or later based on the current market conditions.

Afterwards, when the two gradually got to know each other, he would often see the old man holding the box and staring at the bracelet inside.

His wife had left him these for her future daughter-in-law. She said they were family heirlooms. Two of them were in total.

With his understanding of the old man, he thought that in the future, even if Ruan Feng got married, he would still be unwilling to give it away.

Zhang Xiao Xiao did not know what was inside and subconsciously wanted to reject it.

"Take it. This greeting gift that grandfather gave you. You'll be fine with Ling Chen in the future." Seeing that Zhang Xiao Xiao was going to decline, the old man's face changed.

Zhang Xiao Xiao did not know what to do, it seemed like this thing was very precious, he subconsciously turned to look at the uncle, and seeing his taciturn expression, he cautiously received it.

"Thank you, grandpa." She did not dare to open it, so she carefully held it in her hand.

Zhang Xiao Xiao knew that he had passed this test and could not help but heave a long sigh of relief in his heart.

While Ling Chen and the uncle were chatting, Zhang Xiao Xiao sneaked away using the excuse of going to the toilet.

She also knew that the reason Uncle had kept her here was to let the old man have a look at her. It was time to give her some privacy.

What she did not know was that the moment she stepped out of the door, Ling Chen's expression immediately turned serious.

"Lordmaster, aren't you being a bit too polite?" Ling Chen had guessed that the old man must have given Xiao Xiao a very important greeting gift, but he never expected that it would actually be this.

The only thing the old man cared about was his wife, and he gave it to Xiao Xiao just like that? Since he was stubborn, he wouldn't go back on his words.

"It's not heavy. There are two bracelets, one for you and one for Ruan Feng. It can be considered my kind intentions." Ruan Shen touched his white beard. That bracelet was originally meant for his future daughter-in-law. After so many years, Ling Chen had always greeted him in every way. In Ruan Shen's heart, Ling Chen had long ago become even more intimate than his son.

Hearing that, Ling Chen did not try to persuade his anymore, as long as he thought it through.

After Zhang Xiao Xiao came out, he did not know where he should go facing this banquet of strangers, so he just casually sat in the corner and drank his tea and ate his snacks, his gaze would occasionally glance in Uncle's direction and not see any movement, and then continue to drink his tea, and occasionally study the people who bluffed at him during the banquet. The only conclusion he came up with was, that the Wealthy Class has no true feelings for him, and the person who was smiling at him just a second ago might change his expression after you turned around.

Sitting here with such a beautiful character, even if it was just a corner, it was sufficient to draw attention. Moreover, this woman had just entered the room with Ruan Lao and that man with extraordinary bearing.

Seeing that she was sitting there by herself, many people started to come up to her and strike up a conversation.

The way those self-proclaimed handsome men were holding onto their wine cups with such dignity made Zhang Xiao Xiao extremely disgusted. How could a man who could not even compare to a strand of uncle's hair have the nerve to act cool in front of her?

As for the men that came to strike up a conversation, Zhang Xiao Xiao would always treat them coldly. No matter what the other party said, she would not buy it.

But now there was such a fool.

Zhang Xiao Xiao slightly raised his eyes, looking at the man with obvious kidney deficiency, the corner of his mouth pulled out a disdainful smile.

But they had thought that Zhang Xiao Xiao was moved by his words and spoke with even more vigor.

I thought we wouldn't find out, but in the end, I sent someone with 10% more greed, and the other side even thought that we wouldn't find it out, I sent someone to negotiate, and the other side still thought that I was stupid, and acted as if I had a reason, and then I went to find someone to mess up the case, and completely wasted it, and two hundred million worth of investments went down the drain. But damn, I can't let you get even a single cent of mine if I want to take advantage of me, and as for that, I'm not lacking a single cent.

The man was bragging vigorously, he did not know that the fake big name suit he was wearing had been seen through by Zhang Xiao Xiao.

She had reason to believe that this man was probably talking about playing at a card table. Originally, the two of them had planned to work together to swindle others. However, they didn't expect that he would suddenly change his mind and deliberately let her off. Perhaps it was because he didn't want to bring along such a fool to play.

"Sir, I wonder if you should go ahead and take care of the thread on your suit?" Zhang Xiao Xiao laughed and pointed to the position of the man's sleeves. This kind of mistake would not happen with a famous brand, the man immediately walked away with his face flushed red.

At this moment, a woman walked over with a wine cup in her hand. Her face was filled with disdain.
