“Madam Ye, why bother? This was originally yours and something you’ve wanted to find for many years, wasn’t it?”
Madam Ye just shook her head and pushed the jewelry box away forcefully, looking no more.
“You take it back,” Lu Wanwan said when she saw him frowning and confused. “Grandma must have had her reasons for this. She doesn’t intend to keep the ring. I don’t know why, but she means for you to take the ring back; she doesn’t need it.”
Bai Lingyun let out a light sigh and shrugged. “If that’s the case, I’ll have to take it back to my mother. Madam Ye, about this, my mother says she owes you an apology. It’s a pity that she’s in poor health and has been recuperating in Canada for many years, unable to come here in person.”
Lu Wanwan looked at her grandmother’s expression and knew that it wasn’t blame.
Rather, it seemed like a long-held wish had been fulfilled.
“Whatever the reasons, Grandma has let go of this matter. Don’t worry, she doesn’t blame anyone; she must have been reminded of many things.”
Bai Lingyun nodded and glanced at the time. “I must go now. Take care, Madam Ye, and when I have time, I will visit you again on behalf of my mother. By then, I believe Madam Ye will be feeling better.”
He wrapped his facial gear back on, and Lu Wanwan escorted him out.
“What is that thing?” she asked curiously.
Bai Lingyun tilted his head, a smile in his eyes behind the sunglasses.
His voice sounded especially muffled from within the scarf, “Do you want it? You are Madam Ye’s granddaughter; it would be the same if I gave it to you.”
“Since Grandma doesn’t want it, why would I? I’m just curious because I didn’t understand what you were talking about, and I’ve never heard Grandma mention it.”
Bai Lingyun’s tone sounded relaxed as they walked into the elevator. “It’s nothing much. Do you know Ye He? Actually, this ring was intended for Ye He.”
Her uncle had passed away many years ago, and Lu Wanwan knew that her grandmother had lost a son at a young age, but she had never met him.
It was said that he died in an accident together with her grandfather.
Therefore, her mother had to take on Jin’an alone very early on, working hard over the years to make Jin’an the best in the industry.
She said that if Grandpa could see it, he would surely feel proud of her.
“This was originally the engagement token my mother received from Ye He. To put it simply, this ring was to be given to the Ye family’s eldest daughter-in-law. After Ye He and the old Mr. Ye had an accident, my mother… she kept the ring for herself because it was the only thing Ye He left her. She’s carried it with her all these years, and now she has finally let go. It’s something that belongs to the Ye family and should be returned to its rightful owner.”
Bai Lingyun suddenly smiled, “Although my mother and your uncle were in a relationship, I’m certainly not some posthumous child. There’s no relation between you and me.”
Lu Wanwan rolled her eyes. “I wasn’t making such a melodramatic guess. Besides, if Uncle really did have a posthumous child, that would be even better, it could make reclaiming Jin’an all the more legitimate.”
Bai Lingyun gave her a glance, somewhat helplessly saying nothing.
Actually, that wasn’t his point; it was not to reassure her that no one would be contesting the inheritance.
After getting off the elevator, Lu Wanwan rummaged through her bag. “I don’t have that much cash with me, can I pay you back a portion first?”
Bai Lingyun walked straight ahead without turning his head. “No.”
