Wang Ru thought Xue Han would be overjoyed to accept it and then be envious, but to her surprise, Xue Han started lecturing her, darkening her face, "If you don't accept my kindness, fine, you don't need to lecture me."
Xue Han spoke indifferently, "In the future, do not give away jewelry given to you by other men, lest you be misunderstood as having bad intentions and offend someone without even realizing it. Please go, and don't come again in the future. We have no relationship."
Xue Han glanced again at the pearl bracelet. As she listened to her mother's teachings, her understanding grew. Mr. Shi's giving such an exquisite piece of jewelry clearly indicated he saw Wang Ru as one of his own. Bracelets are a common thank-you gift for a life-saving deed and not particularly conspicuous, but a bracelet chain must be sized correctly, plus it suited Wang Ru well. Mr. Shi's intentions were all too evident.
