Chapter 522: Chapter 521: The Four Ancient Great Families_1

In the past, even when Qi Yunjue was jealous, he would suppress it and remain silent to uphold his mature and stable CEO persona. This direct and candid attitude genuinely surprised Yan Ling a bit.

But then she thought about it, this is how a couple’s attitude should be.

Direct communication with no beating around the bush can prevent misunderstandings.

After realizing this, Yan Ling decided to take the initiative to explain what had happened today, "This morning I didn’t intentionally ignore your calls. It was your son who was angry at you for suddenly going abroad and he blocked your number! As for today’s competition, it was because the ’Beautiful World’ show team decided at the last minute to complete the filming of the program ahead of schedule. To gather more material, they had no choice but to involve me. I didn’t expect to encounter an acquaintance there..."

"Acquaintance?" Qi Yunjue’s brows furrowed even harder.

Yan Ling saw that the man on the other side of the video was giving off an unhappy vibe and hurried to explain, "Well, not an acquaintance exactly, but someone I’ve encountered before."

"He threw two billion for you based on a single encounter?" Qi Yunjue wasn’t questioning Yan Ling, but he doubted the man’s motive.

No man would be so generous for a woman he barely knows, unless he had ulterior motives.

"He was interested in this bracelet I am wearing. He said that this bracelet was a token of love his uncle had given to his beloved. He wanted me to return the bracelet to his uncle."

"Just for a bracelet?" Qi Yunjue looked a bit stunned at her response.

"Yeah, I also find it somewhat unbelievable. But that is what happened. He said his uncle was attached to this bracelet and never got involved with anyone else. He originally wanted to retrieve the bracelet to help his uncle find his love. Yet upon learning that it was a memento from my mother, he decided to let go of the bracelet and help his uncle shed his obsessions."

Yan Ling also shared with Qi Yunjue her plans to investigate how her mother came to possess the bracelet.

"There might be secrets about the bracelet in my mother’s diary. I would like to visit the Yan family tomorrow. Regardless of Nangong Que’s intentions, I do owe him a favor. Only by figuring out this matter, can I keep this bracelet in good conscience..."

Upon hearing Yan Ling’s mention of the bracelet, Qi Yunjue’s gaze deepened.

He had seen the pattern on Yan Ling’s bracelet before; it was the clan badge of the ancient Dongfang Family.

The Dongfang Family was the ancient head of the Four Great Families, which due to their superior divination skills, received great respect hundreds of years ago.

A hundred years ago, due to specific circumstances,

The Dongfang family had to migrate to a remote island with the other three ancient families.

Beginning a solitary, secluded life.

The Nangong Family was also one of the Four Great Ancient Families.

If that man truly belonged to the Nangong family,

Wouldn’t it mean that Yan Ling’s mother might have had connections with the Four Ancient Great Families?

Considering the conflicts involving the Four Great Ancient Families over the years, Qi Yunjue felt a knot of tension.

He wanted to tell Yan Ling not to look into this matter, but swallowed his words.

He knew that Yan Ling disliked owing favors to people. Her commitment to investigation must have been well considered.

"Remember to take Gao Chong with you when you go to the Yan family. Try not to stay there too long to prevent any unforeseen circumstances!"

Hearing Qi Yunjue’s reminder, Yan Ling repeatedly nodded, "I understand!"

She knew Yan Qianhong’s character too well. He would definitely not let her get her mother’s diary that easily.

Therefore, it was necessary to prepare in advance!
