The necklace set, every bead full and lustrous, possessed the vivid richness of high-quality jadeite.
Pure and intense Imperial Green, just one glance was enough to know its value was extraordinarily high!
This set of necklaces was once the most treasured jewelry in their family and the love token between Si Qiao’s grandmother and grandfather.
After the passing of both grandparents, the jewelry was designated as the engagement gift for the future granddaughter-in-law.
And now, this treasure cherished by the Yu Family was outrageously put up for auction in such a place, at such an event!
Fury erupted within him, and Si Qiao abruptly stood up.
Si Qiao’s seat already drew much attention, so when he stood, he effortlessly captured the gazes of everyone present.
People could see the fierce expression on Si Qiao’s face, his whole being like a demon from hell stepping into the world, his icy aura amplifying his anger.
Li Shaobai was taken aback and said, "Brother Yu, what’s wrong?"
However, Si Qiao seemed not to hear him, his gaze fixed steadily on Mo Shu.
Mo Shu also found the string of jewels somewhat familiar but just couldn’t recall where she’d seen them before.
Now sitting on the couch and sensing Si Qiao’s gaze, a flicker of confusion crossed her face.
Seeing the evident puzzlement on her face, Si Qiao could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. He strode forward and fiercely grasped her wrist, "Mo Shu!"
Mo Shu was startled, her body yanked to a stand.
Such a scene, no one had anticipated, and for a moment all eyes converged on them.
Mo Shu looked up to meet Si Qiao’s eyes, cold and forbidding, their fury seemingly materializing to shoot through her heart.
Mo Shu’s scalp tingled, she steadied herself and asked, "What are you doing?"
Si Qiao, with a face ashen, heard her seemingly innocent question and tightened his grip, "You have the nerve to ask!"
Mo Shu, facing his gaze, had a sudden realization.
Could it be... that this necklace was the heirloom of Si Qiao’s grandmother?
Mo Shu’s heart trembled; could it really be such a coincidence?
"Our Yu Family sincerely proposed to you and even gave you our family heirloom," Si Qiao said with a pale face, fiercely pointing to the stage, "what do you mean by doing this now?"
His words provoked a public uproar.
"No way, it’s the Yu Family’s heirloom!?"
"Who said the Yu Family was unwilling to marry Princess Mo? They even gave away such a precious family treasure, if that isn’t sincerity, what is!?"
"What else could it mean, to sell the engagement gift? Isn’t that clearly stirring up trouble?" Google seaʀᴄh Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"I think she did it on purpose; maybe she’s harboring resentment because of Young Master Yu’s past indifference, deliberately selling the Yu Family’s heirloom for cheap to embarrass them?"
"Wow, she must be out of her mind to do this, right?"
"Her wit has not been sharp for a day or two now, might well be true..."
The surrounding whispers made Si Qiao’s expression even more unsightly.
Mo Shu suddenly spoke up, "It wasn’t me!"
She could be broken off an engagement, but she would not be wronged !
She would never admit to something she didn’t do!
A new day, time for tickets.
