Li Anping calmly slipped off the silver bangle from his hand and explained faintly, "Originally wanted to return it to her parents in person."

  Aili understood the explanation, and didnt care about Li Anpings excuses being strong or weak. She took over the silver bangle, glanced at it briefly, and unexpectedly found that the more she looked at it, the more beautiful it became. She hadnt expected that a country girl like her would have such a good thing in her family.

  Ai Lis eyes sparkled as she raised the bangle: "Unexpectedly, its quite beautiful..." She deliberately paused, looking at Li Anping and then Lin Luorans face, both of whom had a drastic change in expression - Li Anping was guilty, while Lin Luoran was worried that she wouldnt return the bangle.

  Ai Li hid her emotions and then sneered: "No matter how beautiful, its still a cheap thing!"

  Lin Luorans face turned even paler, Ai Li lightly opened her red lips, not feeling that she was being particularly vicious, but rather finding the country girls expression to be quite amusing. She tossed the bangle at a clearly impossible angle for Lin Luoran to catch.

  The silver bangle made a metallic clanging sound on the ground, and Lin Luorans eyes turned red as she unknowingly loosened her grip on the reflective mirror.

  Ai Li rolled down the car window, an Audi TT made a beautiful drift, and sped away.

  Lin Luorans fingernails had dug into her flesh, and scarlet blood seeped out. She bent down to pick up the bangle, not wanting to stay in this place for another moment. The air was murky where those shameless people had been.

  ******

  When she got off the bus and walked back to her place after two detours, it was already dark.

  Lin Luorans body felt weak and soft, and she was too lazy to even turn on the light.

  The Lin family heirloom has been returned, and she naturally has nothing more to do with that scoundrel. Next comes the question of which path to take.

  Her parents are old and have been urging her to marry Li Anping for half a year, so the news of their breakup cannot be told at home for the time being. The two elderly people cant withstand this stimulation.

  The house is rented for a year, and its only been three months since the new year started, so Im not worried about the rent. As for work, I was fired a week ago, and at the time, my manager spoke vaguely, saying that I had committed a crime, but Lin Luo Ran couldnt figure out who he had wronged no matter how hard he thought about it.

  Today, Li Anpings new girlfriends arrogant attitude actually gave her a wake-up call. Looking at it from the surface, she seems generous, but in reality, she has a petty and narrow-minded personality, typical of a rich young lady... She snatched away her boyfriend and even went as far as to cut off her career, saying that she doesnt hate her would be a lie. Lin Luoran cant do anything about it, perhaps for the rest of her life, there wont be any chance for revenge. The two are just too different, and she still has to consider her elderly parents at home, so she cant really take out sulfuric acid to splash on her.

  Two people originally planned to get married, the 30,000 yuan they had saved up was borrowed by Li Anping under the pretext of going for training. In this way, after six years, what Lin Luoran was left with was her lost youth, unfinished education, embarrassing age, and the only 1,600 yuan in cash she had on hand!

  Lin Luoran subconsciously tightened her grip on the silver bangle, and the palm of her hand, which had been pinched by her fingernails, began to bleed again. The faint blood seeped through the hollow silver threads and onto the pearls. Before Lin Luoran even noticed, the blood had been absorbed by the pearls!

  The bead absorbed the blood threads and emitted a faint light with extremely weak pulses, as if it hadnt eaten its fill and had no energy.

  Lin Luoran was still lost in her own thoughts and had no idea what Zhuos intentions were.

  The pearl trembled slightly, like a living being with spirit, it was anxious for half a day, unable to find a way out, as if determined to burst forth a beam of light, the silver thread wrapped around the pearl suddenly moved on its own, transforming into a sharp thorn that pierced deeply into Lin Luorans palm!

  There were no lights on at home, Lin Luoran was just lost in thought, not blind, and naturally saw a beam of light shining in her hand. As soon as she raised her hand, the silver thread turned into sharp thorns that pierced her palm, giving Lin Luoran a big fright.

  It wasnt very painful, just like an ant bite, but Lin Luoran was still scared half to death.

  This matter has already exceeded the category of scientific explanation, normal people cant help but be frightened and surprised, let alone that silver thread is now like a transparent slender crystal tube, Lin Luo Ran can even see his own bright red blood, dripping through the tube onto the pearl, being absorbed by the pearl without a single drop leaking.

  Lin Luoran exerted her strength to shake off the handcuff, but it seemed as if it had taken root in her palm and couldnt be shaken off. In just that brief moment, she felt like she had lost a lot of blood, for she was already feeling dizzy, which was a symptom of severe blood loss.

  The pearl is getting brighter and more dazzling, but its only been a few minutes, from the initial hazy moon-like glow to a resplendent light that makes people almost unable to look directly at it!

  Lin Luoran felt her vision blurring and she knew without guessing that if the pearl continued to absorb, she would die from excessive blood loss.

  She knew she had obtained an unusual heirloom, but was afraid that she wouldnt have a life to enjoy it... The bead seemed to sense her fear, somewhat helplessly, and with a soft "hum" sound, it withdrew the thin tube on its own initiative and stopped sucking her blood.

  Lin Luoran took advantage of the opportunity to fling the beads onto the tea table and then collapsed onto the worn-out sofa.

  Her lips were completely bloodless, her entire back was soaked through, and she was drenched in sweat as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

  The ring returned to its original shape, except it was glowing and the tube was gone.

  Lin Luoran narrowly escaped death, and although she was extremely curious, she didnt dare to pick up the bangle to take a look. After waiting for half a day, the glow of the pearl gradually dimmed, leaving only a soft and gentle light like the moon.

  Lin Luoran propped herself up and leaned forward slightly, carefully examining this family heirloom that had almost taken her life.

  Huh? Lin Luoran thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes, only to find that the scene in front of her remained unchanged.

  That eerie bead sucked her blood, and after the light dimmed, Lin Luorui discovered that the originally silver-plated bracelet shell was actually melting bit by bit. The silver thread woven into a hollow ring, like a cage, also seemed to be a protective layer for the bead, but at this moment it was melting...

  She cautiously retreated, and the silver finally slowly melted into a pool of liquid silver. Under the faint light of the pearls, it emitted a dazzling metallic luster.

  Lin Luoran was shocked to find that, just like before when the pearl sucked her blood, the silver liquid was also being absorbed by the pearl. In just a few breaths time, that small puddle of liquid had vanished without a trace.

  She clutched the pillow tightly in her hand and pursed her lips tightly.

  The luster emitted by the pearl is even more captivating, with a seven-colored halo, layer upon layer of distinct circles surrounding the pearl, making it more resplendent than the most enchanting jewels in this world!

  A gleaming pearl was jumping up and down in mid-air, as if letting out a joyful cry.

  Lin Luoran narrowed her eyes, still thinking about how to deal with this supernatural thing... Using a pillow was too unrealistic, within the range of her outstretched hand, there was only a glass cup on the coffee table that was half-filled with water. Was she supposed to splash water at it?

  Not a drop of blood... She thought wildly for a moment, her body tense with an unfamiliar tightness.

  The pearl made a turn in mid-air, the light ring was like a comets tail shining, and this thing rushed towards her at a speed that was too fast to cover ones ears!
