Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was the second tOld Mr. Wen had defended Wen Nian that day. Speople felt that Old Mr. Wen was protecting the Shen family’s reputation, but speople wondered if there was really something different about Wen Nian. Could it be that her birth characters were especially good? Could it allow the Shen family to rise to another level?

However, when they heard others discussing Wen Nian like this, Jin Ting and Gu Cheng were unhappy.

“Grandpa Shen, don’t listen to their nonsense.” Jin Ting hurriedly said, “Abbot Si Kong specially gave this to Wen Nian the last twe went to the Xuanhuan Temple to film. Director Sun said that this is the prayer beads that he has been keeping for decades!”

Gu Cheng chimed in, “Old Mr. Shen, I was at the scene too. It’s indeed Abbot Si Kong’s belongings. Have you forgotten? Previously, someone offered a hundred million yuan to buy it, but Abbot Si Kong didn’t agree to it. If you can wear this prayer bead bracelet every day, you’ll definitely be able to turn misfortune into good luck and all your illnesses will be cured!”

Upon hearing that it was Si Kong’s prayer beads, many people craned their necks to look over.

An old man beside Shen Wei took the prayer beads and took out a magnifying glass from his pocket. He looked at it carefully under the light and said excitedly, “These are really the prayer beads of Abbot Si Kong!”

He brought the prayer beads to Shen Wei. “Take a look. This is the Dharma nof Abbot Si Kong, and it’s engraved on the prayer beads. He carved it himself. At that time, his hand shook, and there was an extra line on ‘Kong’. I was fortunate enough to have seen this prayer bead when I was discussing Buddhism with Abbot Si Kong earlier. Shen Wei, you’re too lucky. This is something that many people can’t get even if they beg for it!”

Elder Zhou was also a famous literary expert in the capital social circle. His entire family had been in the literary field for several generations. Although they were not as influential as the Xu family, the Zhou family had always been upright and had produced a few famous people. They were still very respected in the circle.

Hearing his words, the few old men beside him also cover to look at the prayer beads.

One had to know that this was the prayer beads from Abbot Si Kong. Not to mention how much it was worth, the prayer beads had been through Zen meditation every day and had been baptized for decades. The older generation still believed that this prayer beads had spirituality. This was a treasure that would protect the house no matter who it was!

Especially when they knew that it was Abbot Si Kong who had taken the initiative to give Wen Nian the prayer beads, many people at the scene had already looked at Wen Nian differently. If Shen Jun was only momentarily bewitched by beauty, the person that Abbot Si Kong had taken a fancy to was probably not a simple person. No wonder the Shen family valued her so much!

“Old Zhou, there are sthings that you can’t be envious of!” Shen Wei hurriedly snatched the prayer beads. He could tell that Old Zhou was already a little fond of them.

He then said to Wen Nian, “This is your Grandpa Zhou. He likes to play with literary books. This can’t fall into his hands. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult forto get it back. However, are you willing to give such an expensive prayer bead to Grandpa?”

Wen Nian nodded heavily. “I originally wanted to go to the Xuanhuan Temple to ask for a protective gift for you, but it can be considered fate with Abbot Si Kong. He gavethis string of prayer beads. I also hope that this prayer bead can protect you and the Shen family.”

Hearing her words, Zhao Jiao’s heart warmed. Indeed, she had not misjudged Wen Nian. She was really a good daughter-in-law!

The elders talked about this string of prayer beads for a while before letting the next person present their gifts. Zhao Jiao pulled Wen Nian over.

She took a jade bracelet from her hand and put it on Wen Nian’s hand.

Wen Nian wanted to decline, but she was afraid that the bracelet would be too expensive and did not dare to move too much. She could only say anxiously, “Auntie, no, this is too expensive.”

Even if she really didn’t know anything about jade, looking at the transparent green color, she reckoned that this bracelet would definitely cost tens of millions.

However, Zhao Jiao did not give her a chance to object. She put the bracelet on her hand and looked at it carefully. “Look at how beautiful it is! Your skin is fair, so you should wear such a beautiful bracelet. Moreover, the size is just right. This is fate!”

There were already many girls from families looking over, intentionally or unintentionally. They wanted to know what Zhao Jiao would say to Wen Nian, including Jiang Chun and Yang Ting, who were slowly approaching.

Zhao Jiao said with a gratified expression, “This bracelet was given toby Shen Jun’s grandmother back then. This bracelet has been passed down from generation to generation. Now, I’ll pass it to you…”

“No!” Before Zhao Jiao could finish her sentence, three voices sounded from the side.

Zhao Jiao could understand if Wen Nian said no, but she couldn’t understand Yang Ting and Jiang Chun.

Zhao Jiao suppressed her anger and looked at the two of them. “I’m giving Wen Nian a gift.. I’m afraid you don’t have the right to say no, right?”
