See You Again (Time Already Knows) - Chapter 71 - Part 2
Chapter 71 - “Alright, Assistant Zhang. Please Thank Your President Yi For The Kind Thoughts.” - Part 2
Ye Jiacheng followed Shi Jian into her little home. The building was a bit old, but it had been fixed up nicely. It really had a feeling of home. This was ordinary. The little fox had love hidden in her heart. Only a woman with love could meticulously fix up a place like this and instill a feeling of comfort, just like what she had done to his old apartment. Then, Ye Jiacheng stood at the doorway and asked: “Should I take off my shoes?” He asked this because he wanted to know whether Shi Jian had slippers for men here.
“No need. Come in,” Shi Jian stood inside.
Ye Jiacheng nodded and entered. He sat down on the sofa. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. He took the initiative and picked up a jar of European candy from the tea table. It was definitely candy that Tim had brought back. Ye Jiacheng took a piece and asked the owner of the candy: “May I have a candy?”
The atmosphere relaxed a little bit. Shi Jian nodded.
Ye Jiacheng smiled.

Ye Jiacheng had always been good at changing the atmosphere because he naturally had the ability to manipulate things. Shi Jian also sat down on the sofa and asked bluntly: “Ye Jiacheng, I will pay you back for the bracelet.”
“Shi Jian……” Ye Jiacheng also started speaking.
Shi Jian didn’t know what Ye Jiacheng wanted to say, but she knew Ye Jiacheng’s nature. There were differences between Ye Jiacheng and Mr.Ye, but their natures were the same. Ye Jiacheng might not let her repay him for the bracelet.
This made Shi Jian even more determined to say, “I know that that bracelet is very important. It’s important to Auntie Ye, and to you…… it’s important too. But the bracelet is broken, and I can’t get you a new one.”
En. Ye Jiacheng listened first and did not say anything for a time.
Shi Jian took out her Wai Po’s hairpin from her bag. She wondered whether it would end up in Yi Biya’s hands one day if she gave it away. Forget it, she had originally planned to give it to Mama Ye for compensation.
She couldn’t bear to part with it…… but she also couldn’t not compensate for it.
“Take a look at this hairpin,” Shi Jian handed the hairpin to Ye Jiacheng. To give herself some confidence, she smiled a little and boasted, “It’s also made of glass jade. It’s very transparent, and is worth about the same as the bracelet.”
Is that so? Ye Jiacheng accepted the hairpin silently. He appraised the front, then flipped it over to the back.
Did he not believe her? She had already compensated in good faith…… Shi Jian couldn’t help saying: “It’s also an antique. If you don’t believe me, we can get it evaluated.” Shi Jian felt extremely grieved.
“Let’s have the bracelet and hairpin evaluated together. If it’s not enough, I’ll pay the remainder.”
“Ah……” Ye Jiacheng smiled for a moment.
Shi Jian knotted her hands together, feeling that she really committed a sin. Why was she so unlucky? Every time she felt that her luck got better, something unfortunate would come up.
“I don’t disbelieve you,” Ye Jiacheng said. He bent over and lightly put the hairpin on the tabletop, afraid of dropping it.
So did Ye Jiacheng accept this compensation?
Ye Jiacheng only leaned back on the sofa. After a while, he sighed. He seemed to be pondering over something. “Haha!” Ye Jiacheng suddenly laughed extremely cheerfully.
Shi Jian froze. Before she could even react, Ye Jiacheng suddenly patted her head, “Scared to death?”
Shi Jian: “……”
“Ai, I was just thinking that I was going to seal the agreement, but it’s better to not do that,” Ye Jiacheng smiled. He tilted his head, his handsome eyebrows sparkled with amusement, “But I think your luck is really great, little fox.”
Great luck? She had broken the Ye family’s bracelet, and she still had great luck?
“That bracelet is fake,” Ye Jiacheng said.
Shi Jian looked up sharply. How was that possible…… Did he think she’d never seen a real one before?
“Really. I’m not lying,” Ye Jiacheng saw that Shi Jian didn’t believe him. He spoke extremely seriously and certain, making the lie even more believable than the truth.
“I’ve long ago swapped out that bracelet. I accidentally broke it when I was little. I was afraid to tell people, so I just……”
“Swapped it for another one?” Shi Jian continued his sentence. She couldn’t describe what she was feeling. She’d worn that bracelet before, possessed it before. It looked the exact same as the one that Mama Ye had given her. How could It be fake?
“That’s right, I swapped it for another one,” Ye Jiacheng winked at her, “You didn’t expect it, right?”
Shi Jian asked: “How old were you when you broke it?”
“Around eight or nine, probably.” Ye Jiacheng continued to lie, “I was super troublesome when I was little. I broke whatever was expensive.”
Shi Jian smiled, and then asked him another question: “You were so little back then. How did you find a fake of the exact same bracelet?”
Ye Jiacheng looked at Shi Jian. Was the little fox dumb? She stubbornly wanted to compensate for this bracelet! Ye Jiacheng continued to smile because he had already thought of a reason when he came over here.
“Do you know my Uncle Gu? He’s the one that we saw at the Yi Mao Annual Conference,” Ye Jiacheng said, “He loved me dearly when I was small. He helped me find that counterfeit bracelet…… Counterfeits can completely be passed off as genuine.”
Shi Jian silently turned her head away.
“Alright,” Ye Jiacheng stood up, “I’m going now. You really don’t have to feel guilty. I already told my mom what happened. She’s also very sorry and wanted me to apologize to you for her.”
When he finished, Ye Jiacheng got ready to leave. He was afraid that Shi Jian would doubt what he said.
“Jiacheng……” Shi Jian called towards Ye Jiacheng, who had walked to the door.
Ye Jiacheng turned around. He looked a bit startled because of his name being blurted out.
Shi Jian let go of the bracelet situation for the time being. She wanted to talk about Father Ye’s surgery, “You’ve contacted the domestic doctor with the surname Wu before, right?”
Ye Jiacheng nodded: “……How did you know?”
“I hope you will choose Doctor Wu. I think Father Ye will have greater trust in a domestic doctor…… A surgery works both ways. Mayor Ye’s mentality is very important.”
This kind of persuasion had very little power. If she told him that she came from the future and knew the outcome, would Ye Jiacheng believe her? Or would he immediately doubt her like the time when they broke up? Shi Jian still planned to tell him everything. No matter what, the safety of Father Ye’s surgery was the most important. Whether Ye Jiacheng believed her or not, she still had to say it. Maybe if she said it, it would affect his relationship with Yi Biya, and make her situation awkward…… But she had no other way. She must tell him that he had to choose Doctor Wu to perform the surgery.
“That’s right. I was also thinking the same,” Ye Jiacheng smiled, then replied, “So I’ve already chosen that Doctor Wu. I’ve discussed this with my dad already.”
Shi Jian: “Oh……That’s good.”
“Thank you, Shi Jian.”
Shi Jian: “Whatever for?” She hadn’t done anything at all.
“Thank you for your concern,” Ye Jiacheng laughed, then went silent. If he didn’t leave now, he might not have any sense of shame left, just like the other night.
“Oh.”
It turned out that Ye Jiacheng had already chosen Doctor Wu. After Ye Jiacheng left, Shi Jian released a breath. She didn’t have to worry about Ye Jiacheng’s family anymore.
She would leave it for Yi Biya to worry about. She had just about said and done everything that she could have.
——
Compensation was quickly received for Mama Ye’s bracelet. It was made from the same polished jade, had the same dark green purity, and had excellent transparency and luster.
Zhang Kai had personally delivered the bracelet. The person being compensated, naturally, was Yi Biya.
Ye Jiacheng had taken the bracelet away. Mama Ye and Father Ye both agreed that they hadn’t planned on having Shi Jian compensate for the bracelet anyway. Shi Jian had broken it in an accident. Furthermore—— “Shi Jian and I have lived together……” Their son’s words echoed in their ears. Mama Ye only wanted to properly calm down.
Ye Jiacheng had Yi Pei’s work phone number. He called, but the one who picked up was Zhang Kai. Ye Jiacheng let Zhang Kai come over and take the bracelet back. Zhang Kai hurriedly explained: “Young Master Ye, the bracelet was broken by Shi Jian. The value is there. Of course we must compensate for it.”
Ye Jiacheng: “So Special Assistant Zhang also knows that Shi Jian broke the bracelet, not your President Yi.”
“We’re helping to compensate for it.”
“Helping to compensate for it?” Ye Jiacheng wasn’t angry. On the contrary, he smiled and asked, “What identity are you using to compensate?”
Zhang Kai spoke vaguely, “Young Master Ye, I think you understand.”
Ye Jiacheng smiled for a moment. He held the bracelet in his hand and agreed, “Fine. Since your President Yi has so much money, I will accept this bracelet.”
Zhang Kai hadn’t even said a word of agreement yet.
The next moment, with a “smash”, Ye Jiacheng hurled the bracelet at the wall. It immediately shattered into fragments.
Lately, his rage had been like a rampant devil bouncing around in his body. He was vile, unhinged, and aggressive. He had many blurry mood swings.
Zhang Kai was already: “……”
Ye Jiacheng continued to say politely: “Alright, Assistant Zhang. Please thank your President Yi for the kind thoughts.”
When he finished, Ye Jiacheng hung up the phone.
With a “smash”, the bracelet really was shattered. On the other side of the phone, Zhang Kai felt like he couldn’t take it anymore. He had bought this bracelet himself. How much money did he spend?
Fuck…… He’d been made to kneel!
Ye Jiacheng really was a southern…… wolf!
