Chapter 653: This is Slander!?
Yuan Jie’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared directly at Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu, what are you saying!? Mr. Yuan gave us rings, what right do you have to…” Summer Rain’s face darkened as she spoke.
Fang Yu didn’t respond. He reached out and snatched one of the blood jade rings from Summer Rain’s hand.
“You!” Summer Rain was so angry her face turned pale.
“Sister, please don’t say anything for now.” At this moment, Summer Lotus pulled on Summer Rain’s hand and whispered.
“You’re still speaking up for him at a time like this!” Summer Rain glared at Summer Lotus, unable to contain her anger.
Summer Lotus’s expression changed slightly as she lowered her head.
The reason they came to Ji Rumei’s birthday party tonight was actually just to greet the Yuan brothers who had come from afar.
This was because their grandfather, Xia Heguang, was an old friend of the Yuan family patriarch, and they had a very good relationship when they were young.
Given this connection, Summer Lotus indeed shouldn’t speak up for Fang Yu; she should at least maintain a neutral attitude.
Sure enough, after Summer Lotus spoke, Yuan Jie glanced at her with a slight change in his expression.
“Mr. Yuan, we’re not actually very familiar with this person. He just likes to meddle in others’ affairs…” Summer Rain explained.
Yuan Jie remained silent, coldly staring at Fang Yu.
At this moment, Fang Yu was holding the blood jade ring between his fingers.
Just by touching it, he could feel a faint chilling aura.
Additionally, jade made from human blood would retain the resentful energy of the deceased, which would be embedded in the jade.
“You said earlier that this is a special jade made by your family?” Fang Yu looked up at Yuan Jie and asked.
“Yes.” Yuan Jie crossed his arms and answered coldly.
He just wanted to see what Fang Yu was trying to do.
“Fang Yu, give me back the ring right now! Then apologize to Mr. Yuan!” Summer Rain shouted from the side.
“Crack!”
At that moment, Fang Yu’s fingers holding the ring applied slight pressure.
The pinkish ring with blood streaks inside immediately developed cracks.
“You dare to…” Seeing Fang Yu crush the ring, Summer Rain’s eyes widened in anger, about to curse.
But then, seeing the strange phenomenon happening to the ring in Fang Yu’s hand, Summer Rain froze.
From the cracks in the ring, like wounds on a human body, bright red liquid began to flow out!
And the amount of red liquid flowing out was astonishing!
It was just like someone with a severed artery! The liquid flowed endlessly!
If not seen with one’s own eyes, it would be hard to believe that a thumb-sized ring could release such a large amount of red liquid!
“What, what is this?” Summer Rain asked with a trembling voice.
“This is a special solution we use to make red jade…” Yuan Jie calmly explained with a smile.
But before he could finish, a nauseating smell of blood permeated the air.
Smelling this bloody odor and seeing the red liquid continuously flowing from the broken ring… it was hard not to recognize that this red liquid was blood!
Summer Rain and Summer Lotus turned pale, covering their noses and mouths as they backed away.
The broken ring in Fang Yu’s hand continued to bleed, seemingly endlessly, looking terrifyingly bizarre!
“Blood jade is blood jade, why bother calling it red jade?” Fang Yu said. “You can change the name, but the content remains the same. Break it open and you can see what it really is.”
Yuan Jie’s face turned ashen.
He hadn’t expected that Fang Yu would know about the existence of blood jade.
He was even more surprised that the incredibly hard blood jade could be so easily crushed between Fang Yu’s two fingers!
“This blood jade should have a mark inside, right? Once worn, the mark would enter the wearer’s body,” Fang Yu said calmly. “Afterward, you could use this mark to either subtly influence or directly control the wearer’s mind…”
Hearing these words, the Xia sisters who had backed away both changed expression.
Yuan Jie’s face turned extremely ugly as he opened his mouth to say something.
“No need to deny it. I know the functions of blood jade much better than you do,” Fang Yu said.
“…Your name is Fang Yu, right?”
At this point, Yuan Jie no longer tried to hide anything. His eyes emanated a fierce killing intent.
“Before you decide to make a move, I suggest you first investigate what someone named Fang Yu has done in Jiangnan… otherwise, you might regret it,” Fang Yu said with a slight smile.
“Are you threatening me?” Yuan Jie narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
As the eldest young master of the Yuan family, his reputation was renowned throughout the southwestern and northwestern regions, and everyone treated him with utmost respect wherever he went.
Not only had this Fang Yu ruined his plans, but he even dared to threaten him?
In front of the Xia sisters, if Yuan Jie showed any weakness, it would damage not only his personal dignity but also the face of the Yuan family!
Yuan Jie didn’t speak but raised his right hand and tapped the string of blood jade beads on his wrist.
“Whoosh!”
After about two or three seconds, a figure descended from above, landing beside Yuan Jie.
It was a pale-faced man without a beard, also wearing a silk robe.
When he landed, he made a muffled sound, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body.
This startled all the guests in the courtyard, who looked toward the outside of the courtyard.
Yuan Wen, who was chatting with Ji Rumei, changed expression slightly and walked toward the outside of the courtyard.
Soon, Fang Yu, Yuan Jie, and the others standing outside the courtyard became the focus of everyone’s attention.
“Today is Miss Ji’s birthday party. I don’t want to steal the spotlight and do something that would make everyone unhappy. You damaged one of my red jades, worth over five thousand yuan,” Yuan Jie spoke unhurriedly to Fang Yu, feeling more confident as more people gathered around. “Additionally, I need an apology for your slander against me.”
Hearing these words, everyone understood that Fang Yu had offended Yuan Jie!
Now there was a good show to watch.
All the guests wore expressions of anticipation for the drama.
“What’s wrong with this guy? He even dares to provoke the young master of the Yuan family? That’s something even I wouldn’t dare to do.” Among the crowd, the young master Cao who had exchanged a few words with Fang Yu earlier shook his head, looking at Fang Yu with some sympathy.
In his view, unless Fang Yu was truly from some super powerful family, offending the Yuan brothers would not end well for him.
In the crowd, after seeing that the person who had clashed with Yuan Jie was Fang Yu, both Tang Mingde and Ji Dongshan’s expressions changed.
And Ji Rumei, the protagonist of tonight’s event, directly stepped forward.
“Mr. Yuan, may I ask what happened?” Ji Rumei glanced at Fang Yu and asked.
“My grandfather instructed me to give two red jade rings to the two Xia ladies… but as soon as I gave them out, this person came up, broke one of my rings, and slandered me,” Yuan Jie looked at Ji Rumei and said calmly.
Slander?
Hearing this word, Ji Rumei frowned.
She knew very well that Fang Yu was definitely not that kind of person.
At this moment, Fang Yu glanced at Ji Rumei and noticed a blood jade bracelet on her left wrist.
Fang Yu’s brows furrowed as he reached out and grabbed Ji Rumei’s left hand.
“Who gave you this?” Fang Yu asked.
“I did. What about it?” Yuan Wen walked out from behind, his face cold.
He looked at Ji Rumei, who was being held by Fang Yu but not struggling, and a flash of coldness passed through his eyes.
“Mr. Fang…” Being grabbed by the hand in front of so many people, Ji Rumei felt a bit embarrassed and lowered her head.
“Crack!”
In the next second, Fang Yu gripped the blood jade bracelet on Ji Rumei’s wrist and applied slight pressure.
The jade bracelet broke immediately.
Half of it fell to the ground, while the other half remained in Fang Yu’s hand.
Dark red blood flowed out from the remaining half of the jade bracelet.
The smell of blood permeated the air.
The onlookers at the back smelled this bloody odor and frowned, covering their noses and mouths.
Those with lower tolerance began to retch.
