Huo Jingchen opened the box, and inside was a priceless jade bracelet. Its color was clear and transparent, and one could tell at a glance that it was carefully crafted with the finest jade.

"This is your grandmother's heirloom. It was originally a pair. One of them is with your mother, and the other one is prepared by your grandmother for her grandson's wife."

Mr. Huo looked kind and smiled: "I'll give you the jade bracelet, go and put it on Wanwan."

As he spoke, Mr. Huo urged Huo Jingchen anxiously.

"Grandpa..." Huo Jingchen frowned slightly, "This jade bracelet is too valuable, you should keep it for yourself as a souvenir!"

Hearing this, Mr. Huo curled his lips and said with a hint of resentment: "Why should I, an old man, wear a bracelet? This is for young girls. You made my granddaughter-in-law cry, you should give this bracelet to her to cheer her up."

Huo Jingchen knew that this jade bracelet was of extraordinary significance. Giving it to Lin Wanwan would mean that the Huo family officially recognized her status as the young lady.

Seeing Huo Jingchen remained silent, he looked down at the bracelet in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Old Master Huo reached out and patted his shoulder, and couldn't help but say, "Jing Chen, Wanwan has a tragic fate, but Grandpa can see that she is a good girl with a kind heart."

Hearing this, Huo Jingchen raised his head, curled his lips and sneered, "Grandpa, I'm afraid you have the wrong person. Lin Wanwan is a profit-seeking woman who did whatever it took to get my child. On the surface, she said she didn't want me to be responsible, but secretly came to me and played hard to get with me."

Huo Jingchen is not an irresponsible man, he just doesn't like being calculated against.

Originally, he had some feelings towards Lin Wanwan that night, but when he learned that she approached him and went to his grandfather just for his money, the little good feeling he had left towards her disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Jingchen, do you have any misunderstanding about Wanwan?" Hearing what Huo Jingchen said, Old Master Huo frowned slightly, obviously not believing that Lin Wanwan was that kind of person.

"Misunderstanding?" Huo Jingchen sneered, "The facts are already in front of us. She really did everything she could to marry me. Now, she even dares to covet our Huo family's property..."

When he thought of what Lin Wanwan had just said in the car, Huo Jingchen's anger burned again. This woman would do anything for money.

She pretended to be pitiful in front of him, and he started to lose his composure as soon as she cried. It must be said that her method was quite clever.

Old Master Huo immediately said, "Jing Chen, although Grandpa has not been with Wan Wan for a long time, I think this child is fragile and doesn't look like the kind of woman who would do anything to get what she wants."

"Grandpa, don't be fooled by her innocent appearance. She already knew my identity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have threatened you with the child. And you wouldn't let me take her back to the Huo family."

Hearing this, Mr. Huo waved his hands and said anxiously, "You are wrong. It is not like that. Wanwan did not take the initiative to find me. I found her location. When I went to the hospital to find her that day, she did not recognize me, nor did she tell me that she was pregnant. From beginning to end, she never thought of letting our Huo family be responsible."

Huo Jingchen didn't seem to believe what Mr. Huo said. He sneered, "Who knows if she was pretending? Why did she call you at the Lin family that day?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Huo couldn't help but recall what Lin Wanwan said on the phone that day.

"Grandpa Huo, can you do me a favor? I'm at the Lin family now. If my adoptive parents knew I was pregnant, they would definitely ask me to abort the baby. Can you arrange two bodyguards to come over? Don't worry, once I leave the Lin family safely, I will stay away and will never bother your Huo family."

Old Master Huo told Huo Jingchen word for word what Lin Wanwan had said on the phone asking for help.

After hearing what his grandfather said, Huo Jingchen's expression remained cold, but he felt a little shaken in his heart.

"Grandpa, even if she really said that at the time, who can guarantee that this was not a trick she carefully designed to torture herself?" Huo Jingchen's voice was low and questioning.

Mr. Huo sighed and said earnestly: "Jing Chen, sometimes you should not be blinded by preconceived notions. You might as well spend more time with Wan Wan and feel what kind of person she is with your heart."

Do you feel it with your heart?

Huo Jingchen remained silent, tightly holding the jade bracelet in his hand, his thoughts in a mess.

On the other side, Lin Wanwan was alone in the room.

Thinking back to what Huo Jingchen had just said in the car, Lin Wanwan felt filled with grievance.

"Are all the people from these wealthy families so unreasonable? How can they humiliate others so easily?"

Lin Wanwan was already feeling aggrieved because the Lin family sold their daughter and because she was pregnant before marriage. Now she was misunderstood by Huo Jingchen, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Lin Wanwan felt very aggrieved, but had no way to vent.

Drop by drop, tears, like pearls from a broken string, slowly slid down from her eye sockets.

She reached out and touched her flat belly. She had never thought of entering the Huo family, and she never thought things would develop to this point.

Lin Wanwan now feels unprecedentedly confused and helpless.

"Baby, what should I do? Leave the Huo family?"

If she left the Huo family, without their protection, the baby in her belly might not live to be born safely.

She does not have the ability to protect herself and her child now, so she can only stay in the Huo family for now. Even if Huo Jingchen does not like her, she will stay.

Lin Wanwan wiped her tears and decided to talk to Huo Jingchen first.

So she stood up and prepared to go find Huo Jingchen.

Who knew that as soon as she opened the door, she saw Huo Jingchen standing and wandering at the door.

"Mr. Huo, you..." Lin Wanwanwan looked up at him, tears in her eyes and a look of surprise.

Huo Jingchen looked hesitant. He was about to explain that he didn't run into her room on purpose, but when he met her red eyes, he was so stunned that he couldn't utter a word.

"You..." Huo Jingchen frowned slightly. Did she cry again?

Lin Wanwan reacted and quickly turned around, as if she was afraid of being seen by him, and quickly wiped the tears from her face.

After Lin Wanwan calmed down, she turned around, put on a stiff smile, and said, "Mr. Huo, come in!"

Huo Jingchen nodded silently, then followed Lin Wanwan and slowly entered the room.

After the two sat down, the atmosphere was a little awkward, no one spoke, and the room fell into silence in an instant.

"I..." Suddenly, the two spoke at the same time, breaking the silence.

"Mr. Huo, how about you speak first!" Seeing that Huo Jingchen seemed to want to say something to her, Lin Wanwan smiled awkwardly.

Huo Jingchen frowned slightly, "You speak first."

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan looked embarrassed. Just when they were hesitating about how to start, they spoke again in tacit agreement: "I have something to tell you."
