"What are you hanging?"
Gong Yu stared at the pendant on Tian Jing's chest with a playful look, as if she was studying it carefully.
There was a red velvet string hanging around Tian Jing's neck, and a copper coin with a dime missing was fixed on the string.
The copper coin looked like it had been worn by Tian Jing for a long time. It had become very shiny and exuded a bronze luster.
But this copper coin is not an ordinary copper coin. The pattern on it looks a bit strange, even distorted, making it impossible to tell what the pattern is engraved on.
Even after careful research, Gong Yu could not figure it out.
Tian Jing looked down at the copper coin on her chest, feeling the coldness of Gong Yu up close, and stammered, "This is...my grandmother hung it on me when I was born. She said it was a family heirloom passed down from my ancestors. My grandmother said that I must never take it off unless I die."
When Tian Jing said these words, there was no sense of sacredness, nor a trace of respect, and even a strong sense of contempt.
It was as if it was a shameful thing for her family to have such a broken copper coin as an heirloom.
If her family hadn't forced her to wear it, she would have thrown away the broken copper coin long ago and wouldn't have to hide it in her clothes every day.
"Oh? From the way you sound, you don't seem to like this copper coin very much?"
"I like it, of course I like it. This is my family heirloom!" Tian Jing is not a fool, so she naturally heard Gong Yu's interest in the copper coin.
And Gong Yu's interest is her chance to escape from her current predicament.
How could she not seize the opportunity!
"This copper coin is the last token of my grandmother's love for me. I wear it every day just to remember her. Of course, I love this copper coin very, very much."
Tian Jing held the copper coin tightly in her arms, and looked at Gong Yu warily as she spoke, as if she was afraid that Gong Yu would rush up and snatch the copper coin away.
Her cautious look really looked like she was cherishing a copper coin.
It's a pity it's too late.
"Since you like it so much, I won't take it away from you."
"No...no..." When Tian Jing saw that Gong Yu had lost interest in the copper coins, she became anxious and reached out to hug Gong Yu's thigh again, but she retracted her hand in fear.
"Gong Yu, I can see that you like this copper coin of mine very much, right?"
"Since you like it, I can sell it to you!"
Gong Yu leaned lazily against the back of the chair, looking uninterested. "This copper coin is a relic given to you by your grandmother. It's also a family heirloom. And you like it so much. How can I have the nerve to buy it?"
“…”
Tian Jing was left speechless by Gong Yu.
She now finally understood what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.
She now deeply regretted why she had acted as if she liked this broken copper coin.
If she goes back on her word now, it would mean giving the initiative back to Gong Yu, and she would be in a very passive position, which would even make her situation more embarrassing.
But even so, Tian Jing still had to say: "Actually, I don't like this copper coin that much. Besides, don't I still owe you money? Look, I'll sell this copper coin to you, and you don't ask me to pay you back. Our accounts will be written off just like that, okay?"
"Are you kidding me?"
