Chapter 270: Chapter 270 ’Zi Han’ Necklace

Fu Han’s face became redder and redder as she busily lowered her head to eat, ignoring their teasing.

Before breakfast was over, Bai Wei’s family of three arrived. It turned out that Bai Qian and Fu Xingbo had rushed back from M Country as soon as they heard about her engagement, only arriving last night.

Bai Qian, caressing Fu Han’s hair with many emotions, eventually took out a jewelry box from her purse and handed it to Fu Han, "Xiaohan, this is the necklace I had custom-made for you after learning about your relationship with Xingbo. I was thinking of giving it to you when you return to M Country, but it seems you’ll only be going there for vacations now."

"Thank you, Auntie." Fu Han affectionately leaned on Bai Qian’s shoulder like a little girl, cooing, "Auntie, I’ll definitely visit you often, I promise."

"That’s more like it," Bai Qian smiled, and without much enthusiasm, glanced at Bai Wei, "You’re much more thoughtful than Xiaowei. She said she’s going to stay in the country for good and wants me and your uncle to come back too. It’s not a problem for us to return, but what about the business overseas? We’re striving for both of you sisters, to be your support."

Bai Wei, who had been admiring Fu Han’s dress, retorted upon hearing that, "Mom, Dad, you like to strive on your own, don’t use me and Fu Han as excuses. We can support ourselves."

"You can support yourself?" Bai Qian retorted dismissively, "What else have you done besides acting all these years? Your profession carries so many risks. What will you do if you stop acting? Tell me."

Bai Wei found herself at a loss for words, wanting to argue but not knowing what to say. Eventually, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, though her lips could still hang an oil pot.

Fu Xingbo shook his head as he listened from the side, then walked over to Fu Han and patted her shoulder, "Want to take a look at the necklace Auntie gave you?"

Only then did Fu Han remember that she hadn’t opened her gift—an oversight that felt rude. She smiled apologetically and quickly opened the jewelry box.

Inside was a simple necklace with a pendant set with a purple diamond the size of an adult’s thumbprint, dazzling under the sunlight.

It was immediately apparent the item was of great value.

"This gift is too valuable..." Fu Han hesitated. She didn’t like accepting gifts that were too extravagant; if she couldn’t return something of equal value, she would feel undeserving and uncomfortable.

Before Fu Xingbo and his wife could respond, Bai Wei snatched the diamond necklace and placed it on Fu Han’s shoulder, saying, "What’s so valuable about this? Let me tell you, those two are filthy rich. That money will be split between the two of us eventually. This gift is nothing compared to their wealth."

"You..." Fu Han was utterly embarrassed, "Aren’t you being a bit too blunt?"

Bai Wei just laughed it off, not the least bit concerned.

Then Bai Qian laughed along, "Although Xiaowei is heartless, she’s telling the truth. I bought this diamond at an auction a while ago and had it cut into a water drop shape. Its name is Zi Han—after the color of the diamond and your name."

"Zi Han?" Fu Han repeated, finding the name pleasant to the ear. Feeling the cool touch of the necklace, she smiled radiantly, "Thank you for the gift, Uncle and Auntie, I really like it."

Fu Xingbo and Bai Qian exchanged a look and also started smiling; this was the first gift they’d given Fu Han and they had chosen it with great care. Fu Han’s liking it was a comfort to them.

The makeup artist checked the time and reminded Fu Han that it was time to change clothes, and the Bai family of three tactfully left.

...

Xia Cheng was driving, with Xia Guoxiong sitting in the passenger seat and Xia Ning in the back.

Upon arriving at the He Family’s villa, Xia Cheng hurried to the back to open the door for Xia Ning, not forgetting to complain, "I mean, Xiaoning, it’s He Xing and Fu Han’s engagement today. Why are you wearing a wedding dress?"

Xia Ning cautiously stepped out of the car, her feet in silver-white sandals encrusted with rhinestones, holding up her dress as she complained, "I’ll wear whatever I want to wear. Why should others criticize me? And, for the record, this is an evening gown, not a wedding dress, so stop talking nonsense."

"Uh... alright," Xia Cheng capitulated reluctantly, his expression clearly skeptical.

As this family of three entered, almost all eyes fell on them, with Xia Ning receiving the most attention.

The upper-class society in A City was a circle of limited fluidity, where most people knew each other. Xia Ning’s fondness for He Xing was an open secret.

The media had even leaked news about He Xing and Xia Ning checking into a hotel together, with the internet still abuzz with both real and speculative gossip about the pair.

Yet, who could have anticipated the sudden engagement between He Xing and Fu Han? Most of the attendees already knew of the prearranged marriage between Fu Han and He Xing, but their story was notorious for its vicissitudes, with many online doubting the union.

Xia Guoxiong and Xia Cheng were smoothly greeting everyone they met, their whole being seeming to say, "Look, our Xia Family’s relationship with the He Family is still close."

Only Xia Ning appeared like a proud peacock, strutting forward with her head held high, as if she was the future mistress of the He Family.

But everyone present was from the business circle and knew well that the relationship between the He Family and the Xia Family was no longer as close as it used to be; the Xia Family had already signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Yang Family and initiated a profound partnership.

Unfortunately, fate was not on their side. On the very day that the Xia and Yang Families were set to join through marriage, the sole heir of the Yang Family, Yang Kaitai, was detained by the police in public and is reportedly awaiting trial after being formally arrested.

Because of this, many mocked the Xia Family behind their backs, and numerous former business partners even refused further cooperation with the Xia Family, uncertain whether the Yang Family’s troubles would spill over to the Xia Family. If the Xia Family was implicated, any investment would be lost.

Yet there were those who provided help in the time of need. It’s said that many of the Xia Group’s business partners actively sought cooperation with the He Group, only to be invariably declined. He Xing even suggested giving the Xia Group another chance.

The Xia Group had once betrayed the He Group, but instead of seeking revenge at a time of weakness, the He Group offered support and extended a helping hand to the Xia Group.

It could be said that without the He Group, the Xia Group might have been reduced to an empty shell by now; at least they could still maintain the appearance of prosperity.

As people watched the Xia Family of three making their entrance, many looked down upon them but held back their ridicule out of respect for He Xing.
