Lin Qingyan knew that Granny Lin was trying to comfort her. The phoenix jade pendant was her family heirloom, and she must have valued it very much. She probably just didn't want her to be too tired from searching for the pendant, so she said that.
So, did Granny Lin know the secret hidden inside the jade pendant? Even if she didn't know there was a space inside, did she know that the jade pendant could open a treasure cave? Also, the dragon and phoenix jade pendants are a pair; did Granny Lin know that there was also a flying dragon jade pendant?
"Grandma, since that phoenix jade pendant is our family heirloom, is it because it has other uses besides its value as an accessory?"
"Other uses?" Grandma Lin was confused. She shook her head. "Your great-grandmother said it was a family heirloom, she didn't say it had any other uses. It's just a jade pendant, what else can it be used for besides wearing and admiring it?"
"Grandma, I was just asking out of curiosity."
"By the way, Grandma. Since ancient times, dragons and phoenixes have been a pair. Our family only has one phoenix jade pendant. Could there be another non-dragon jade pendant that is a pair with it?"
Grandma Lin thought carefully and said, "No, this is the only jade pendant we've ever had. I've never heard of a flying dragon jade pendant. Maybe she had one a long time ago."
"What did our ancestors do?" It might be related to what's hidden in the cave.
"They practiced martial arts. Your great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and several generations before them all practiced martial arts. The family used to run a martial arts school and a security escort agency. Otherwise, your grandmother wouldn't have been so skilled. It's mostly due to the influence of her family."
Hearing what Granny Lin said, she became even more curious about what was hidden in the cave.
Could it be a long-lost precious weapon? A divine artifact? A celestial artifact? A martial arts manual? In the end, she thought of the Ten Divine Weapons, the Golden Cudgel, the Nine-Toothed Rake, and the Sunflower Manual.
The next day, Lin Qingyan went to visit Feng Yidong as soon as she got to work. She hadn't been to the hospital for the past few days, and before leaving, she gave the ointment for treating Feng Yidong's injuries to the hospital director, asking him to apply the ointment to Feng Yidong personally every day.
Now that she's back, she's taken back the mission.
She removed the bandages from Feng Yidong's face, saying, "The injuries on your face are healing quite well."
She drew the curtains, dimming the room, and had Feng Yidong try opening his eyes.
Feng Yidong could see the blurry shadows of the objects beside him.
"Sister-in-law, I can see things now, but I can't see clearly."
"Being able to see is progress. Believe me, your eyes will definitely get better."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
When Lin Qingyan passed by Xu Xinning's office, she saw Wu Zhigang sitting inside chatting with Xu Xinning. She glanced at him and then left.
At noon, Wu Zhigang looked for Xu Xinning, wanting to have lunch with her at the ancestral hall, but Xu Xinning went to find Lin Qingyan instead, saying, "I'm going to have lunch with my sister and my grandparents, so I can't go to the cafeteria with you."
"It's alright, we'll go to the state-run restaurant tonight."
Xu Xinning hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Okay."
As soon as Lin Qingyan pushed out her bicycle, Xu Xinning ran over.
"Sister, I still want to see Grandma and Grandpa. Let me go with you."
"Okay, you sit in the back, I'll give you a ride."
"Thank you, sister."
As they walked, Xu Xinning started talking to Lin Qingyan. Lin Sisi didn't want to cook and wanted to get food from the cafeteria. On the way, she saw the two of them riding a bicycle together, chatting and laughing, just like a pair of sisters.
She learned from her neighbors that Lin Qingyan was actually Grandma Lin's biological granddaughter, while Xu Xinning was just Grandma Lin's adopted granddaughter.
She suddenly remembered the phoenix jade pendant from before. That pendant belonged to Lin Qingyan's mother, and if Lin Qingyan had it, it would definitely become a token for her to recognize her relatives.
Although she didn't know exactly how Lin Qingyan became related to the Dong family, she felt that Xu Xinning had deliberately taken the jade pendant because she knew about the relationship between the jade pendant and Lin Qingyan and the Dong family, and didn't want Lin Qingyan to use the jade pendant to make the family reunion.
If she tells Lin Qingyan that the jade pendant is in Xu Xinning's possession, it will not only cause Lin Qingyan and Xu Xinning to fight, but it will probably also cause chaos and turmoil in that entire family.
She knew that with her own strength, she was no match for Lin Qingyan, so she might as well sit back and watch them fight it out.
When Lin Qingyan and Xu Xinning arrived home, Lin's mother-in-law and Grandpa Dong had just returned from their outing. Lin Qingyan immediately went into the kitchen to cook.
Because Xu Xinning couldn't cook, she could only help Lin Qingyan.
During the meal, Grandpa Dong and Grandma Lin praised Lin Qingyan's cooking skills again, which made Xu Xinning feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Qingyan was not only related to them by blood, but was also superior to her in every way. She was terrified and felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Watching Lin Qingyan interact with the two elders, I felt like an outsider who didn't fit in at all.
In the evening, Wu Zhigang came to see Xu Xinning again, "Dr. Xu, we agreed to have dinner at the state-run restaurant."
Xu Xinning readily agreed; now, only Wu Zhigang could give her warmth and fill the void in her heart.
She packed her things. "Okay, Dr. Wu, let's go now."
As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Dong Yue and Lin Qingyan chatting in the hallway. The two seemed not to have seen her, and she got angry and walked straight over.
When they arrived at the state-run restaurant, Xu Zhigang took the initiative to invite her to order food and even paid for it himself. This made her feel much better after seeing Dong Yue and Lin Qingyan chatting.
The Dong family, none of you care about me, but someone does.
If you don't care about me, someone else will.
