Chen Fenglie is Jiang Tian's ex-husband, which the Jiang family naturally knows.

They knew that showing him enthusiasm would embarrass Jiang Tian.

But they did it anyway.

Ultimately, Jiang Tian was nothing more than an insignificant pawn.

Her value was exhausted after she married Zhou Yancheng.

As for Chen Fenglie, the Chen family is currently under his control. If the Jiang family can establish a relationship with him, they will reap a continuous stream of benefits.

Besides, Chen Fenglie is dating Jiang Qing, so it's no big deal for him to come over for a meal.

The Jiang family seems to have completely overlooked the fact that Chen Fenglie divorced his eldest daughter and started dating his youngest daughter, which is outrageous.

Not long after, Chen Fenglie appeared in the living room.

As his name suggests, he has a sharp and handsome appearance. A few years ago, he was injured near his eye, leaving a faint scar that adds to his rugged charm.

As he and Jiang Qing approached, they finally saw Jiang Tian.

His ex-wife didn't hold any special significance for him.

He was only married to make Jiang Qing give up on him; he was someone who was dispensable.

His complexion remained normal.

Jiang Tian didn't seem to have much emotion, but Zhou Yancheng, who was sitting next to her, could feel the tremor in her emotions.

At this moment, her hand was tightly holding Zhou Yancheng's hand, and Zhou Yancheng did not struggle.

He suddenly realized that Jiang Tian's misery was more severe than he had imagined.

Chen Fenglie did not greet Jiang Tian. When Jiang Qing saw her, even though her expression was a little unnatural, she still said, "Sister...Brother-in-law."

Jiang Qing is twenty-five years old this year, one year older than Zhou Yancheng.

Calling him brother-in-law made her feel a little awkward.

Jiang Tian is Chen Fenglie's ex-wife, a relationship that makes Jiang Qing feel slightly uncomfortable.

Jiang Tian didn't say anything, but forced a smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang talked with Chen Fenglie for a while before they remembered that Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng were also there.

Mr. Jiang suddenly became reluctant to eat with his eldest daughter.

He said in a calm voice, "It's enough that you came to see me. Jiang Tian, ​​you can take Zhou Yancheng back now."

Having come all this way and not even being able to get a meal, Zhou Yancheng gained a deeper understanding of the Jiang family's character.

Jiang Qing became a little anxious: "Dad, what are you talking about?"

With her and Chen Fenglie's arrival, Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng couldn't even get a meal; wasn't that deliberately disrespecting them?

Jiang Tian nodded, stood up, and looked at her father: "Dad, the main purpose of my visit today is not to eat. When Zhou Yancheng and I got our marriage certificate, you promised to return the jade pendant that my mother gave me when I turned one. Give it to me now, I can take it with me."

As soon as she said that, several people present looked rather uncomfortable.

Jiang's father looked particularly grim. Chen Fenglie was, after all, an outsider. To say something like this in public would only confirm the rumors that he was forcing his daughter into marriage.

“Dad, why aren’t you saying anything? I’m going to take that jade pendant with me. I told you before that I wouldn’t marry you without it. We’ve already registered our marriage, so it’s time to give it back to me.”

Jiang Tian stared straight at her father, her expression stubborn.

Chen Fenglie's eyes gleamed with interest and surprise. He had been married to Jiang Tian for seven years, and in his eyes, his ex-wife was a pushover. He never expected her to become so tough after the divorce.

Seeing Jiang Tian stubbornly confronting him, Jiang's father felt a surge of anger, but with guests present, he couldn't afford to lose his temper.

He turned to Mrs. Jiang and said, "Go find her jade pendant and let her take it with her!"

But even after he spoke, Mrs. Jiang didn't move.

Jiang Tian pursed her lips: "Auntie, my dad told me to take my things with me."

Mrs. Jiang remained standing there, her face grim, but she didn't say a word.

At this moment, Jiang's father realized something was wrong: "Where's the jade pendant? Let her take it with her! Do you really want her to make a fool of herself here?"

His roar revealed his anger.

"But……"

"But what? Did you break her jade pendant?!"

Mrs. Jiang finally couldn't hold back any longer: "You gave the jade pendant to Jiang Qing, have you forgotten! She's been wearing it with her for over ten years!"

The living room fell silent instantly.

Chen Fenglie lost interest in watching the show.

Jiang Qing's expression was one of disbelief: "The jade pendant I'm wearing... was it left to her by Jiang Tian's mother?"

Mrs. Jiang was surprised that Jiang Tian was so stubborn. She had only coaxed her into returning the jade pendant, but she hadn't really taken it seriously.

That jade pendant was of excellent quality, genuine imperial green, and priceless.

Even before Jiang Tian's mother died, Mrs. Jiang whispered in her ear and got Jiang's father to give her something.

With her mother dead, the jade pendant naturally became hers.

As for bad luck, it's not bad luck at all. Jiang Tian's mother gave the jade pendant to Jiang Tian. It's for children to wear, so it has nothing to do with dead people.

At first, Mrs. Jiang wore the jade pendant. Later, when Jiang Qing fell ill, people said she needed to use jade to nourish her body, so she gave it to Jiang Qing.

Jiang Tian got married, and Jiang Qing went abroad. Over the years, if Jiang Tian didn't mention it, Mrs. Jiang would almost forget that the jade pendant was given to Jiang Tian by a dead person.

That jade pendant was Jiang Qing's personal possession, and the price of jade has been rising in recent years, so Mrs. Jiang didn't want to return it to Jiang Tian.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Jiang's face twitched; he finally felt ashamed.

The jade pendant that the deceased wife left to their only daughter was given to their daughter from her second marriage. What kind of logic is this?

Ignoring everyone else, Jiang Tian walked up to Jiang Qing and held out her hand: "Give me back the jade pendant."

Jiang Qing's face was extremely pale.

She had worn the jade pendant for many years and had developed a deep affection for it. While in a foreign land, an old man happened to see her jade pendant and they became close friends despite their age difference. Over the years, he helped her a great deal.

The two even agreed to admire the jade together when their friend arrived.

She only realized now that the jade was left to her by Jiang Tian's mother before she passed away.

Reason told her she should return it to Jiang Tian, ​​but emotionally she didn't want to.

When her mother gave her this jade, she told her that it would bring her good fortune and ward off evil.

I've been wearing it for so many years...

Everyone present, except Jiang Tian, ​​seemed to notice Jiang Qing's reluctance.

Jiang Tian still insisted on extending her hand, repeating once more, "Give me back the jade pendant."

Seeing her aggressive attitude towards Jiang Qing, Chen Fenglie frowned and stepped in front of Jiang Qing.

"How much is that jade? I'll pay double, or you can name your price."

Jiang Tian's expression was extremely cold at this moment, a coldness tinged with repression.

She looked up and met Chen Fenglie's gaze: "Then bring my mother back to life."

Chen Fenglie frowned even more deeply.

Zhou Yancheng strode over, shielding Jiang Tian behind him, and confronted Chen Fenglie.

“Mr. Chen, this is their family matter, and I think it’s best if we don’t get involved.”

Zhou Yancheng was slightly taller than Chen Fenglie. When the two looked at each other, Chen Fenglie, who had been in a superior position for many years, was unable to overpower Zhou Yancheng.

Ignoring the two's confrontation, Jiang Tian slowly walked up to Jiang Qing and extended her hand again: "Jiang Qing, if you still have any shame, give me back the jade pendant."
