Chapter 41 - Bracelet

However, he could back down on everything else except this one!

Just as Liang Jia was about to go up and plead with Liang Wenrui on theory, her grandfather, the housekeeper, silently pulled on her sleeve.

Liang Jia subconsciously looked back and saw her grandfather winking at her, his head gently swaying in a slight arc.

Grandpa butler, what is this supposed to mean?

As he was thinking, the housekeeper suddenly gestured at the door and respectfully said, "Please, Miss Liang."

Liang Xing's thoughts spun a hundred times before he finally frowned and followed the butler. From start to finish, Liang Wenrui had not even glanced at her …

Outside the door, her grandfather suddenly asked in a low voice, "Is it a sapphire blue bracelet with simple patterns?"

Liang Jia's heart contracted, and she grabbed the butler's sleeve. Her beautiful big eyes were filled with anticipation. "You've seen it before?"

Liang Jia was a little excited. Her voice was a little too loud. The butler put a finger to his lips and made a silencing gesture. "It is indeed not in the Zhou family. It is in young master's hands."

Liang Jia's mind went blank for a moment. Where was Zhou Xing Chen? The chances of getting it back could be said to be very small.

Although Liang Jia was a little dazed, she still forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Butler."

The housekeeper looked at her deeply, then finally sighed and closed the door to the Zhou Mansion.

Liang Jia's fingers tightly gripped the steering wheel as she drove towards Zhou Xing Chen's company. No matter what, no matter how difficult it is, Zhou Xing Chen, you must give it back to me! Liang Jia's eyes were filled with determination.

Bang bang bang …

"Come in." Zhou Xing Chen looked up.

"Director Zhou, there's a Miss Liang outside. She said she has an appointment with you?" the desk clerk asked him respectfully.

Miss Liang? Zhou Xing Chen raised an eyebrow. Other than Liang Jia, he didn't think so. An appointment? When did he make an appointment with her? However, since she was here, it didn't matter if she saw him or not.

A hint of a smile appeared on Zhou Xing Chen's face, a smile that he hadn't noticed before. "Let her come over."

Not long after, the sound of light and delicate high heels hitting the floor. That kind of rhythm was, as expected, Liang Jia's.

Liang Jia pushed open the door to Zhou Xing Chen's office and found him staring at her with shining eyes. For a moment, she couldn't understand what was going on, so she didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Xing Chen looked at Liang Jia. He suddenly had the urge to hold her in his arms. This way, she wouldn't leave him, wouldn't be so intimate with other men.

"Cough! Cough!" Liang Jia coughed dryly a few times. From the moment she stepped into the office, Zhou Xing Chen had not shifted his gaze away from her. His gaze made her feel like she was trying to hide …

"Didn't you say that it was cut off cleanly?" Zhou Xing Chen turned a Pike pen in his right hand, teasing in a relaxed tone, "What are you doing here now?"

Liang Jia pursed her lips. "I'm looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Zhou Xing Chen suppressed the joy in his voice, intentionally frowning as he asked, "What's the matter?"

Liang Jia nodded and walked in through the door. She pulled out a chair and sat down. Her slender white legs naturally and elegantly crossed each other. She asked elegantly, "Are you taking a bracelet from my room?"

For this? Zhou Xing Chen frowned in dissatisfaction. After Liang Jia left, Liang Wenrui acted on her own to free Liang Jia's room for Xia Qin'er to stay. He disapproved, but he also had no objection, so he could only silently take out Liang Jia's things. The bracelet that Liang Jia was looking for should be the very precious simple blue bracelet that she had locked in the case by the bed.

Zhou Xing Chen couldn't understand why this bracelet was still locked away like a treasure even though it looked so old. Still, he still had to take care of it for her and keep it with him.

Zhou Xing Chen said nothing. He opened the drawer next to his hand, took out a sapphire blue bracelet, and waved it in front of her. "Is this it?"

Liang Jia's eyes instantly widened. Her eyes lit up as she reached out to grab it. "Yes."

Zhou Xing Chen drew a circle in the air, and Liang Jia missed.

Zhou Xing Chen rubbed his chin, contemplating the abnormal behavior of Liang Jia. Normally, she would be calm in times of trouble, not panicking when things went wrong, but now, for the sake of a bracelet, she was actually so abnormal?

"Is this yours?" Zhou Xing Chen asked even though he knew the answer.

Liang Jia glanced at Zhou Weiqing, and when she saw him scrutinizing her, she realized that her actions had been too extreme and had lost all sense of propriety. She immediately sat up straight and straightened her clothes. "Mm, yes. Please give it back to me."

Zhou Xing Chen looked at Liang Jia who had turned serious for a second. He suddenly felt that Liang Jia, who had revealed her true nature by chance just a moment ago and had come to grab the bracelet, was extremely adorable.

"No more snatches?" Zhou Xing Chen looked at her teasingly.

Liang Jia glared back. Seeing the smile in his eyes, she calmed her heart and repeated, "Please give it back to me."

Zhou Xing Chen said nothing, just playing with the bracelet in his hand.

Liang Jia's breathing became more and more rapid. Seemingly enduring her extreme anger, she opened her mouth once more. "Please, give it back to me."

"Still?" Zhou Xing Chen grabbed it in his hand and placed it back in the drawer. "What if I say no?"

"Zhou Xing Chen!" Liang Jia slammed both hands on the table and stood up. "Don't go too far!"

Angry? Huh? Zhou Xing Chen glared at her. "Aren't you going to cut it clean?" And now you're asking me for what bracelet? "

Without waiting for Liang Jia to speak, Zhou Xing Chen stood up from his chair, one hand supporting his desk while the other holding Liang Jia's chin. He leaned over her face and said, "The Zhou Family has raised you for so many years. This bracelet counts as a maintenance fee. It can't be considered as bullying you, right?"

Liang Jia shook her head vigorously, breaking free from Zhou Xing Chen's grasp. Her eyes reddened slightly as she said, "Zhou Xing Chen, if you need maintenance, I can give it to you, however much you want!" Only this bracelet will not do! "

How could she treasure this bracelet so much?

As Zhou Xing Chen thought of this, he said indifferently, "Then I'll just take it."

Liang Jia's five fingers were clenched into a fist. Her transparent fingernails were almost embedded into her palms.

Her expression slowly changed as she walked step by step towards Zhou Xing Chen.

Pulling open the drawer, Zhou Xing Chen grabbed her hand. He hadn't thought that Liang Jia would do something like this. "Liang Jia, what are you doing?"

Liang Jia's red lips were tightly pursed. She didn't say anything and only struggled.

Zhou Xing Chen was infuriated as he grabbed Liang Jia's hand with even more force.

Liang Jia was in so much pain that her face contorted in pain. She bit her lower lip and glared at Zhou Xing Chen, her eyes wide. "I'm just taking back my own things!"

With that, he struggled even harder. Zhou Xing Chen pushed her away, but Liang Jia's leg twisted in the wind and he fell to the side.

Zhou Xing Chen's heart suddenly hurt. "Liang Jia!"

He rushed forward to hug her, but he was too late.

"Dong — —" Liang Jia's white forehead bumped into the corner of the table, and she immediately lost consciousness.
