BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1386 - Han Yaotians Tricks
Whether or not he would become the head of the Han family in the future, Han Yaotian was still currently more promising than Han Zhongteng. Using Han Yaotian to get rid of Han Zhongteng was undeniably the most direct and effective way for her to go. After all, her getting any help from the Su family was completely out of the question. Without a backer, she had no confidence that she would be able to survive. The only people she could rely on were Han Hongbin and his son.
Chen Lixue might not understand current affairs, but that did not mean that Liang Xinyi was as clueless as she was. For the sake of her future glory and wealth and in order to ascend the social ladder, was there anything that Liang Xinyi would not do?
...
Fiddling with the bracelet in her hand, Yun Xi asked nonchalantly, “Where did you find this bracelet?”
“Well, that’s a real coincidence. Not so long ago, I was passing by a boutique in Jingdu Tower and saw your cousin holding it in her hand and inquiring about it at the jewelry counter. I remembered seeing it the last time I was going through the surveillance footage at the Su wedding, and I thought that this must have been yours, so I brought it back to you. Now, it’s finally back in the hands of its rightful owner.”
The excuse he gave was just what he and Liang Xinyi had discussed, and, even if Yun Xi wanted to check for herself, the jewelry store would give her the same answer.
“Such a coincidence indeed!”
Yun Xi looked down and smiled. This little gold bracelet was different from her silver one, and it certainly looked like a rare gem. Even after so many years, Chen Lixue had treasured it with care without letting the gold bracelet show the slightest signs of wear. However, this bracelet just did not seem like something Liang Xiuqin would leave for her. It seemed she had to take a trip back to the Yun family house to find out more about this bracelet.
“I can’t simply accept your kindness blindly and put a hole in your pocket. How much was it? Since you bought this with your own money, let me pay you back.”
“It was nothing. You don’t have to be so courteous with me, Yun Xi. Just think of it as an apology for all the grievances between us. Whatever happens to our Han family, this is still something we can afford, so don’t worry about it.”
“Anything else is fine, but kindness owed is a difficult thing to repay. Chairman Han, are you hoping to keep me indebted to you?”
Han Yaotian was hoping to use this bracelet that he’d borrowed from someone else to appease her. She knew exactly what he was thinking. Since he had come to her himself, she decided to play dumb. Otherwise, she would not be able to make the fish she wanted to catch take the bait as easily as she had hoped.

“Those are your words, not mine. Like I said, this is a token of my apology. It’s yours if you like it. All the riches in the world can’t buy our hearts’ desires. This was yours to begin with anyway. I’m just giving it back to you.”
“Very well, then. I shall accept your kind intentions, but I’ll be sure to repay you in the future.”
Han Yaotian smiled reluctantly. “I’m simply returning what belongs to its rightful owner. I’m not trying to make you owe me any favors, so let’s stop debating. Instead, why don’t we talk about what’s new with you lately? It seems as if you haven’t been to school in the last couple of days. What have you been busying yourself with?”
Putting away the bracelet, Yun Xi cast him a nonchalant glance. “Chairman Han, haven’t you heard about the recent SARS virus outbreak in Jindgu? People all around are panicking. I’m helping my professor in researching a vaccine for the virus. It’s a pressing issue in the scientific community, and everyone has their hands tied up with it.”
“So, that’s what’s going on. I thought something had happened to you since I couldn’t find you anywhere on campus.”
Han Yaotian noticed her indifferent expression as she spoke of her medical explorations. It seemed as if she had gotten used to involving herself in matters like this. A lot of deaths had been recently reported, yet she could still look at it so calmly, all while devoting herself to the research. Seeing this side of her ignited a sense of admiration in him.
“By the way, there’s a socialite ball coming soon here in Jingdu. I’m guessing you must have heard of it? Would you like to attend? Since there’s still time and a couple of untaken spots for the Han family... If you’re interested in going...”
