Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342: Not Stooping to Her Level

”I’m not too clear on this,” Qin Jian knew very little about the jade bracelet.

Initially, when his birth was still a mystery, his foster mother, Li Junping, had shown him the bracelet once. However, it seemed intentional that she put the bracelet on for him to see.

Thus, he only caught a glimpse of it by chance. Otherwise, he would have been unaware of its existence.

”Besides that reason, what else could make the old lady ask me about the origin of the bracelet?” An Hao couldn’t figure it out.

”Forget it. Let’s not think too much about it. No matter what the relationship is, the bracelet has been sold anyway.” What she needed to do was to simply collect the money for the bracelet in five days.

”Mmm.”

When the two returned home, Zhang Yun came out with a basin of fruits and casually asked, ”How much did you sell the bracelet for?”

”180,000!” An Hao gestured casually.

”My God! That’s really a sky-high price!” Zhang Yun was greatly surprised, ”If Li Junping knew about this, wouldn’t she regret biting her own tongue off?”

An Hao smiled, ”She’s already full of regrets. She’s tried several times to get the bracelet back. If I hadn’t held onto it tightly, she would have probably turned it into cash long ago.”

”Yes! The last time she even came over making a scene, trying to take the bracelet back and made me ...” Zhang Yun said halfway and suddenly remembered Qin Jian was still there, and quickly fell silent.

”She came over? When did this happen?” Qin Jian immediately asked, ”Why didn’t you tell me?”

Seeing Qin Jian asking questions, An Hao decided not to hide it any longer. After all, the bracelet hadn’t been given to Li Junping, so there was no harm in him knowing now.

He had already seen the attitude of his foster mother and realized that knowing or not knowing didn’t matter anymore.

”Aren’t we just worried you’d be caught in the middle?” Zhang Yun explained to her son, ”But if you want to know, I’ll tell you. Your foster mother actually came to the military compound to demand the bracelet. I didn’t give it to her since it wasn’t mine. Since it belongs to An Hao, I couldn’t just give it away to her, right? So, I sent her packing.”

”Don’t blame mom for this! It’s not her fault,” An Hao quickly defended, ”You are aware of why I didn’t give her the bracelet.

She and Qin Fen nearly destroyed your position as a company commander. They caused the warriors to suffer food poisoning, and Qin Fen damaged the reputation of the An Family brand, resulting in a huge financial loss. She acts as if having no money is an excuse not to repay the debts, and moreover, they don’t even realize their own faults.

Later, when the An Family and the Qin Family completely fell out, shouldn’t I keep these accounts in mind? And afterwards, as you know, Qin Fen leaked the An Family’s client information, practically leading to our Waterloo!

I’ve been keeping track of all these accounts, which amount to losses of fifty or sixty thousand yuan. If I had given her the bracelet and she had sold it, would she repay the debts? Definitely not! So, the bracelet must not be given to her! I’ll deduct the An Family’s losses from it and I won’t take a penny of the remaining money; I’ll give it all back to her!”

Seeing An Hao becoming more agitated as she spoke, Qin Jian quickly said, ”You’re overthinking it, I had no intention of blaming you. I was just asking what my foster mother came over for. I’m also worried about my two mothers getting into a conflict ...”

”Don’t worry! I wouldn’t stoop to her level,” Zhang Yun snorted coldly.
