The white jade bracelet was of a quality she had never seen before!
She had always wanted a white jade bracelet like that. She felt her wrists were slender and fair, and a white jade bracelet would surely make them look even better.
“Sister, what are you staring at so intently?”
The young girl had been gazing at Zhan Xiaojun’s wrist. Hearing her older brother’s question, she withdrew her gaze and looked at her own wrist. She found that hers, which was usually praised for its fairness, did not seem fair at all when compared to that seemingly ordinary girl.
Instantly, she became a little unhappy.
No one wished for their proudest attribute to be so utterly overshadowed by another.
“Fourth Brother, look at that person. I really like the white jade bracelet on her wrist. You know I’ve always wanted to buy one like it, but I’ve never found one that caught my eye! This is the first time I’ve liked one so much.” Lin Xiao pointed at Zhan Xiaojun, who was not far away.
Lin Ye followed the direction Lin Xiao was pointing.
He saw a girl of about eleven or twelve. Although the girl’s appearance was somewhat ordinary, she possessed an indescribable aura, a natural nobility in her every movement.
As he was somewhat surprised, his gaze fell upon the girl’s wrist.
On the slender, fair wrist, the white jade bracelet seemed to glow with a lustrous sheen.
It further enhanced the girl’s unique beauty.
Lin Ye nodded dazedly, “It is indeed a fine bracelet.”
“I like it very much. Talk to them and ask them to sell it to me.” Lin Xiao felt that if she couldn't get this bracelet today, she wouldn't be able to sleep well!
She truly, truly liked it so much!
“Since you like it, Fourth Brother will buy it for you.” Lin Ye stood up directly. His fifth sister was the apple of their family’s eye. Since childhood, if any of them brothers could help her get what she wanted, they would certainly do so.
After all, their Lin family was one of the three great families of Beijiang.
Lin Ye walked over to Yun Xiaojing and Zhan Xiaojun.
His attitude was somewhat arrogant.
Yun Xiaojing raised his eyes and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared before them.
Lin Ye touched the snake’s head on his wrist, exuding an aura that deterred others from provoking him.
Although Beijiang had all sorts of strange things, like gu poisons, venomous snakes, and scorpions, and one could see people playing with venomous snakes on the road, Lin Ye had clearly underestimated the siblings before him.
The brother and sister remained unfazed, showing no reaction to the snake on his wrist.
He could tell at a glance that these two were not from Beijiang.
Normally, people not from Beijiang would show fear upon seeing their venomous snakes and the like. Yet, these two were completely unfazed. It was curious.
But it was only for a moment.
He stated his purpose directly, pointing at the white jade bracelet on Zhan Xiaojun’s wrist, “My sister likes the bracelet on your hand. Name your price, and I’ll buy it.”
Yun Xiaojing and Zhan Xiaojun both raised an eyebrow.
They hadn’t encountered any jokes on their journey so far, and now they were directly facing one?
Buying a bracelet?
Zhan Xiaojun touched the lustrous bracelet and said, “My bracelet is not for sale.”
It was a gift from her father and mother, and she cherished it dearly.
Lin Ye frowned, “Just name your price.”
“I really like the bracelet you have. To be blunt, even if you don’t want to sell it, you have to,” Lin Xiao also walked over. Seeing that Zhan Xiaojun refused to sell, she immediately adopted a condescending stance, her tone quite forceful.
She couldn’t let go of something she finally liked.
She had to have it!
Moreover, such a fine white jade bracelet would only be truly appreciated on her wrist.
Zhan Xiaojun lazily flicked her eyelids, looking speechlessly at the siblings before her, and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Are you planning to rob me of my bracelet?”
“Didn’t my sister say it? She won’t sell it. Don’t disturb our meal,” Yun Xiaojing crossed his arms, leaning back, looking at the two ignorant individuals with a half-smile.
It seemed they were used to bullying people.
He and Xiaojun had never been afraid of being bullied since they were young.
Lin Ye frowned again, extremely displeased. He had spoken politely, and they refused to accept his goodwill?
He was about to instinctively reach out to stroke the snake’s head again, only to find the snake lying listlessly on his hand, looking as if it had fallen gravely ill.
Normally, if a venomous snake encountered a stranger, it would be in an aggressive state.
What was wrong today?
Before he could think further, Lin Xiao slammed her palm onto the table beside him.
*Bang!*
The sound was incredibly loud.
The waiter, who was carrying the dishes to serve, froze on the spot, so startled that he didn’t dare to move closer.
The guests who were about to go upstairs, seeing this scene, and fearing being caught in the crossfire, turned around and left.
“Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I told you to name your price. As long as you name a price and sell it to me, I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you in Beijiang. However, if you remain obstinate and refuse to sell, then don’t blame me for taking action against you.” Lin Xiao also took out a snake from her pouch.
It was not a large venomous snake.
The small venomous snake opened its mouth wide the moment it was brought out.
It had a fierce aura.
The Lin family had been around venomous snakes since birth. They learned how to tame them and other poisonous creatures from a young age.
Therefore, apart from the members of the other two great families in Beijiang, everyone else’s legs would turn to jelly upon seeing them produce a venomous snake.
Zhan Xiaojun rolled her eyes, “So you really are going to rob me.”
She had rarely encountered anyone who dared to try and take her things.
She looked at Yun Xiaojing, “Third Brother, I’m scared of what they’re saying, and they’re even using little things to scare me.”
That little venomous snake looked quite ugly.
She had seen so many snakes since she was little, and she thought all of them were quite cute. This was the first snake she found to be unsightly.
Yun Xiaojing’s smiling face instantly turned cold when he heard Zhan Xiaojun say she was scared.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the snake in Lin Xiao’s hand.
Finally, he looked at Lin Xiao, “Keep that disgusting thing for yourself and don’t use it to scare people.”
Lin Xiao was just about to command the snake to bite them and vent her anger.
But the venomous snake, which had never disappointed her, suddenly lowered its head and seemed about to fall to the ground weakly. If she hadn't been holding it, it would have slid off as if dead.
What was going on?
But she didn’t have time to think.
Because she was enraged.
“What did you say? Do you know who I am? I promise you’ll regret angering me now!” Lin Xiao was furious.
This was the first time someone had so completely disregarded her!
No matter what the Lin family wanted, they always got it!
