Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Priceless Treasure
Chen Xuan’s expression turned completely grim, "Do you really think that money can buy everything?"
"Let me tell you, Jingting is my, Chen Xuan’s, wife, not an item for trade."
"Don’t even mention a mere hundred billion, even the world’s riches wouldn’t be enough to take my woman away from me!"
Upon hearing this, a wave of warmth surged in Han Jingting’s heart.
No wealth in the world could buy her!
So to this man, she was truly that important!
"Jingting, these people have impure motives. I don’t think we need to continue with this dinner party."
"How about we just leave? What do you say?"
Chen Xuan looked at Han Jingting, deciding to respect her opinion.
Without a second thought, Han Jingting hurriedly nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to you!"
Hearing that Han Jingting was about to leave, Fucha Rongcan immediately became anxious.
He had finally managed to deceive her into coming by seizing this opportunity; if she were to leave just like that, then he would have no chance at all in the future!
"Jingting, why the rush to leave? You haven’t agreed to me yet!"
Han Jingting let out a wry smile, "Young Master Fucha, I have already made myself very clear. I will not agree to be with you!"
"We shall meet again another day!"
With that, Han Jingting followed Chen Xuan, ready to leave directly.
Fucha Rongcan was not willing to give up and reached out to grab Han Jingting’s hand, "You can’t go..."
The women Fucha Rongcan coveted had never slipped through his fingers; this time, he had brought so many people to help. If it ended in failure, where would he put his face, Fucha Rongcan!
Today, even if he had to resort to force, he was determined to subjugate this woman!
But before Fucha Rongcan could even touch Han Jingting’s hand, he was pushed away by Chen Xuan.
"Didn’t you understand what my wife said? Get lost!!"
As the word "lost" escaped his lips, a powerful murderous intent surged toward Fucha Rongcan.
"Oh my god..."
At that moment, Fucha Rongcan felt as if King Yama himself was coming to claim his soul, frightening him into backing away repeatedly.
Due to extreme fear, the jade thumb ring he was holding carelessly fell to the floor.
Crack!
The jade thumb ring shattered into pieces, scattering across the floor!
Dead silence!
The entire private room fell into a dead silence!
Cao Yan, Liang Xuan, and the others stared at the fragments of the thumb ring on the ground, all with eyes wide in shock.
Mixing among the Jinmen, of course, they were acutely aware of the value of this nine-dragon jade thumb ring.
Legend has it that the Founding Emperor had once bestowed nine nine-dragon jade thumb rings to nine officials who had entered the pass with him and made great military achievements, anointing them as Dragon Slaves and granting them a lifelong position by the Royal side.
These nine-dragon jade thumb rings not only acted as immunity from death penalties but were also a symbol of their identities!
Later on, when the former dynasty collapsed, the bloodline of the nine Dragon Slaves had almost entirely ceased, with only the Fucha Family Clan carrying it on.
Of the nine nine-dragon jade thumb rings bestowed by the Founding Emperor, only this single one remained within the Fucha Family Clan!
After the collapse of the former dynasty, the Fucha Family Clan, being remnants of the former court, has always regarded itself as the legitimate lineage of the former dynasty.
Fucha Rongcan’s father Fucha Tai was even called Qiansui of Jinmen!
This single nine-dragon jade thumb ring was now the pride of the Fucha Family Clan and the very foundation legitimizing the name of Qiansui Fucha Tai.
Fucha Rongcan, who had just celebrated his thirtieth birthday last month, was given the nine-dragon jade thumb ring, a symbol of their former royal family’s status, by his father, Fucha Tai, as a coming-of-age gift. His father had entrusted it to him with the instruction to safeguard it well and pass it down through the generations.
But who could have anticipated that in just a short month, this heirloom, passed down for hundreds of years, would be destroyed in an instant!
Cao Yan and Liang Xuan realized that this incident was likely to cause a major uproar!
Indeed, that proved to be the case.
Looking at the shattered fragments of the thumb ring on the floor, Fucha Rongcan’s face went through a storm of emotions before finally settling on fury.
"You bastard! You’ve destroyed my nine-dragon ring!"
"Do you know how valuable this thing is? You dog!"
Fucha Rongcan roared in a frenzied anger.
Han Jingting was somewhat frightened as well.
Fucha Rongcan had already stated that this ring was a priceless treasure!
Now that it was shattered, if Fucha Rongcan really held them accountable, Han Jingting feared that even selling the entire Jiaren Corporation would not be enough to compensate for the loss!
"Young Master Fucha, please don’t be angry. I apologize on behalf of Chen Xuan..."
Han Jingting bent forward intending to apologize.
But Fucha Rongcan cursed vehemently, "Apologize? What use is an apology?"
"Do you have any idea how much my ring is worth? Can you f***ing afford to compensate for it?!"
"This..." Han Jingting was too scared to speak.
Chen Xuan, however, remained calm, "Compensate? You were the one who carelessly broke the jade ring yourself. Why should we pay for it?"
It was only then that Han Jingting had a sudden realization, "Yes, Young Master Fucha, it seemed indeed that you were the one who accidentally shattered it. It was not our responsibility..."
Fucha Rongcan’s face turned vicious, "Not your responsibility? Ask them, who actually broke my nine-dragon ring just now?!"
Before Han Jingting could speak, Cao Yan and the others immediately jumped out to accuse.
"Is there any doubt? It was definitely this Chen surname!"
"Exactly, we all saw it. He’s the one who shattered Brother Can’s ring!"
Han Jingting was filled with rage. She couldn’t believe these people would tell such blatant lies, pushing the blame onto Chen Xuan.
Then, Han Jingting suddenly thought of something and looked towards Liang Xuan.
"Elder Sister Xuan, please be just on our behalf!"
In Han Jingting’s eyes, Liang Xuan was her good sister, who would surely speak up for justice.
Liang Xuan seemed impatient, "Jingting, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. It was clearly your useless husband who broke Young Master Fucha’s ring just now. How do you expect me to help you?"
"I can’t lie just because of you!"
"What? You..." Han Jingting was completely dumbfounded.
She never could have imagined that Liang Xuan, whom she considered her good sister, would also stand on Fucha Rongcan’s side and frame Chen Xuan!
Han Jingting was extremely disappointed.
Listening to everyone’s accusations, Fucha Rongcan sneered triumphantly, "What now, everyone’s eyes are crystal clear!"
"Everyone says it was your husband who broke my jade ring, so it was him who did it!"
"Even if we go to court, I believe the judge will certainly uphold justice for me!"
Han Jingting’s heart sank.
She was well aware that Fucha Rongcan was right; now that everyone was pointing fingers at Chen Xuan, and given that each of their status and standing was incomparable to theirs,
even a judge would surely accept their testimonies.
In that case, Chen Xuan would truly be unable to wash away the accusation of breaking this priceless treasure!
