Chapter 14: 014 One Gets Stuck 2_1

An Ning tugged several times, but the bracelet wouldn't come off.
The grandmother smiled. "This Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet is our family heirloom, and the fact that it fits you so well proves that you are our family's daughter-in-law."
"That's not true." An Ning still wanted to explain.
The old lady chuckled, adding in a particularly understanding tone, "Alright, I won't disturb the two of you any longer. I'll be on my way now."
Having said that, the old lady picked up her walking stick and left the villa with a vibrant spirit.
It wasn't until the car had driven far from the villa that Abing said with a smile, "Madame, you're getting shrewder by the day. I've been by your side for thirty years, yet I had no idea that the Yu Family had a Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet as a family heirloom?"
"Hehe..." The old lady just laughed.
"All I know is that you bought this at a jade shop a few years ago." Abing continued.
"That's how the girl will feel valued," the old lady said.
Speaking of which... "Madame, you clearly know that the young master is not at all familiar with this girl, yet you insist she's your granddaughter-in-law... Are you trying to trap her directly?"
The old lady dropped her smile. "It's because that wretched boy won't find a girlfriend. If I, as his grandmother, don't help out, he'll never even think about getting married in this lifetime."
"But by doing this, are you so sure Jingchen will like her? What if he doesn't?" Abing asked anxiously.
The old lady asserted confidently, "It's impossible; that wretched boy is bound to like this little girl. Otherwise, tell me, has he ever brought a girl home in his thirty-one years? Have you ever seen him this close with any girl?"
...
An Ning applied a thick layer of dishwashing soap to the bracelet, creating thick suds, and tried for over half an hour but just couldn't get it off.
Dizzy and sweating profusely from her forehead, she was desperate.
"What am I going to do now?" An Ning slouched on the couch, looking helplessly at the lustrously pure and creamy jade bracelet on her wrist.
She felt like crying; it hadn't hurt when she put it on, so why couldn't she take it off?
Sitting on the other side of the couch, Yu Jingchen casually swirled the wine in his glass, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, you can take your time. There's no rush."
"But I can't get it off even if I take my time; I've already tried many ways," An Ning said, almost in tears.
Yu Jingchen looked at her slender wrist. "Then you'll have to lose some weight before you can take it off."
"Alright, I'll focus on losing weight these next few days and will return the bracelet to you as soon as possible," An Ning promised vigorously, nodding her head.
What an utter mess she was in; whom had she ever wronged?
"That's fine," he nodded in approval.
"Then... I'll be leaving now." Ten minutes earlier, his subordinates had finally come back and handed her the things.
If it weren't for the bracelet on her wrist, she would have been able to leave long ago.
"No, you must stay here until the bracelet comes off," Yu Jingchen stood in front of her, preventing her from leaving.
"What?" An Ning was taken aback.
Yu Jingchen put down the wine glass and said matter-of-factly, "You heard what my grandmother said; this Jade Bracelet is our family heirloom. Naturally, it can't be taken away casually."
"I know, and as soon as I can take it off, I'll give it back to you immediately," An Ning insisted hastily.
Yu Jingchen exhaled a puff of smoke, his arrogance lofty, "What will you use as collateral?""
An Ning blinked, realizing she indeed had nothing with which to guarantee her promise.
She truly felt aggrieved, but she needed to find a solution now. "Can I leave my ID card as collateral?"
