Xu Qingyun felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She has been living alone abroad for years, cutting off all contact with the Xu family, just so her grandfather wouldn't be in a difficult position.
But in the end, Grandpa died under mysterious circumstances.
"Miss, don't be too sad. We'll investigate slowly. If it really was Liang Wanrou and her daughter who did it, they'll eventually find a clue."
Xu Qingyun nodded: "Uncle Liu, I'm fine, you can go ahead."
Looking at the broken jade pendant, Xu Qingyun's gaze was unusually firm.
She will definitely not let her grandfather die with regrets!

At 5 p.m., Xu Qingyun received a call from Ji Hanchen.
"I'll have Chiang Hsun pick you up."
"No need, I'll drive myself."
"He's already here, see you in a bit." Ji Hanchen was holding the phone between his shoulder and ear, with a frying pan in his left hand and a spatula in his right. The pan was sizzling with oily steak, so he tossed the phone onto the sofa after saying that.
Helpless, Xu Qingyun could only quickly change into a light blue cheongsam and return to her residence.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Xu Qingyun nodded slightly, her expression cool and distant.
Chiang Hsun chuckled, "You're too kind, Madam."
Xu Qingyun frowned: "Assistant Jiang, please call me Miss Xu."
“…Yes.” Jiang Xun broke out in a cold sweat; he seemed to have taken too big a step.
Xu Qingyun stopped talking once she got into the car.
She wasn't very good at dealing with people, and she didn't like it.
Especially since Jiang Xun was Ji Hanchen's assistant, she subconsciously kept her distance.
The car drove away from the city center and all the way to the Half Bay Villa District.
Xu Qingyun was thinking about the jade pendant the whole way, and was somewhat distracted. When she came to her senses, she was already standing in front of a villa.
Xu Qingyun's fair cheeks immediately turned as cold as jade, exuding a hint of aloofness.
"Mr. Ji did not say that we would have dinner at his house tonight."
Jiang Xun quickly explained, "Mr. Ji knew that Miss Xu was allergic to chili peppers, and that restaurant food might inevitably contain chili peppers, so he cooked it himself."
Mr. Ji, this raise of my salary wasn't for nothing.
Xu Qingyun didn't want to make things difficult for Jiang Xun, so she went into the villa first.
Ji Hanchen had just prepared dinner and was lighting candles. The warm yellow candlelight made the bouquet of beautiful red roses look even more alluring.
