Chapter 134: Chapter 154: My Background Seems to Be Not Simple? _1

"Sell the shares?"

Lin Chen was surprised, turning his head: "You’ve been desperately trying to protect the family business left by your father, sparing no effort. But now you suddenly want to sell it. Can you bear to do that?"

Chu Jiaxue sighed: "I’ve realized something just now. My persistence was not wrong, but if I continue this way, I’ll face more and greater targeted attacks. Not only will I hurt myself, but I’ll also hurt the people around me."

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes flashed with fear: "If today you weren’t so capable, I would have sold my shares at a low price, encountered misfortune myself, and even implicated you. This is the second time something like this has happened. If I keep going, there will be a third, a fourth time..."

Lin Chen was silent for two seconds, then suddenly laughed: "If you’ve really thought it through, selling the shares and leaving this circle would be good. As your parents, what they would want to see the most isn’t you seeking justice for them regardless of the danger, but rather, that you can live a safe and happy life."

Chu Jiaxue nodded, staring out the window for a while in a daze. When the car left the darkness and returned to the bright city, the lamplight shone on her face, flickering dimly and brightly.

"Since the Chu Family wants my shares, I’ll sell them to the Chu Family!"

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised: "Don’t you hate them? And still sell to them?"

Chu Jiaxue said: "Selling Chuhe and leaving Pingjiang doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on my parents’ hatred. I’m just starting over in a place beyond their reach. In the future, as long as there’s an opportunity, I’ll come back, reclaim what originally belonged to me, and take back Chuhe."

Lin Chen immediately understood Chu Jiaxue’s thoughts. She would sell Chuhe to the Chu Family that she resented, also encouraging herself to move forward. If she could defeat the Chu Family in the future, wouldn’t what originally belonged to her come back to her?

Lin Chen didn’t stop her. This was a good roundabout strategy for Chu Jiaxue. After all, in Pingjiang, she was completely under the influence of the Linhai Chu Family. It would be difficult for her to achieve anything.

"Alright, if you need help, just say so."

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "I’ll discuss the acquisition issue directly with Chu Tianyu. If he wants the shares, he’ll have to pay for them with real money!"

"Okay!"

Since Chu Jiaxue had this plan, Lin Chen didn’t bother to trouble Lei Family and Chu Tianyu for now, and took the frightened Chu Jiaxue back home.

When they got home, Chu Jiaxue took a bath first to ease the stress of the day. After Lin Chen had finished taking a bath later, Chu Jiaxue brought over a box and handed it to Lin Chen.

"Here you go."

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the seemingly old sandalwood box in Chu Jiaxue’s hand: "What is this?"

"A jade pendant."

Chu Jiaxue pushed the box into Lin Chen’s hand: "I was going to give it to you sooner or later, so there’s no need to delay. Take it, and you can start investigating earlier."

Since Chu Jiaxue had brought it out, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate and nodded: "Then I’ll take it for now. I’ll keep our promise."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips: "You’ve already saved my life twice. No matter how big a favor was, it’s already been paid back. You don’t owe us anything now, and you can leave whenever you want."

Lin Chen smiled: "Until my background investigation reveals some leads or results, actually, I have no destination to go to."

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes lit up slightly, and she secretly let out a sigh of relief: "Then you can stay for the time being. Not to mention that we’re already married, just for the friendship between grandpa and your master, this place is also your home."

Lin Chen laughed casually: "Okay!"

Chu Jiaxue’s gaze fell on the box: "Aren’t you going to open it and take a look?"

Lin Chen’s expression was somewhat complicated, certain that opening the box might change his life once again.

Lin Chen actually wasn’t too eager to investigate his background, fearing that the outcome would be a sad story – after all, what normal parents would abandon their child? But since the jade pendant was in hand, he might as well investigate.

Anyway, as an adult, there’s nothing he couldn’t bear.

The box was opened, and inside, a distinctively shaped jade pendant lay quietly on a blue velvet cloth.

Lin Chen took out the jade pendant, his eyes slightly surprised.

Although he wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about jade, he could still tell at a glance that this piece was extraordinary – it was crystal clear, warm and smooth. When held in the hand, there was a faint coolness.

The jade was a round, flat piece, carved with an ancient-looking character. The character was not a regular one but somewhat resembled ancient seal script. In any case, Lin Chen couldn’t recognize it.

Lin Chen looked it over and over: "Is this a character?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "It should be, but I don’t recognize it. I searched online and couldn’t find it. I guess we need to find an expert in writing to figure it out..."

Lin Chen nodded: "Let’s find out if there are any experts in writing later on. Perhaps this complex and distinctive character is the key to unlocking my background. With the jade’s high-quality and unique shape, I suddenly feel like my background might not be a simple one."
