Ye Boyun was furious, his eyes blazing as he glared at Xu Qingyun. "What else do you have that's more important to do?! What else do you want to do?!"
Xu Qingyun gave a cold laugh, "You all brought this on yourselves. All I have to do is deal with this..."
She paused slightly before taking the jade pendant out of her collar.
Ten years ago, her grandfather was going to give it to her, but Xu Jia pushed him down the stairs because of it. Ten years later, she took it back, but her grandfather had already passed away.
Xu Qingyun initially thought this was a token given to her by the Ji family, but she never expected that this jade pendant would be related to her background.
On her deathbed, her mother told her to take the jade pendant back to the Ye family.
For Xu Qingyun, this jade pendant was of extraordinary significance, but it was, after all, something belonging to the Ye family.
The Ye family is selfish, cold-hearted, cruel, and ruthless. Such a family does not deserve her to stay, so there is no need for this thing to remain with her.
She wanted to return this to Ye Boyun and sever all ties with the Ye family from then on.
Ye Boyun narrowed his eyes sharply. A jade pendant?
This does not belong to the Ye family.
But this thing doesn't look like an ordinary object. Could it be...?
Just as Xu Qingyun was about to take it off, Ji Hanchen pressed her hand down and said in a low voice, "Yunyun, leave it for now."
Xu Qingyun's eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Ye Boyun, just in time to see the probing look in Ye Boyun's eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat; Ye Boyun's gaze was strange.
The jade pendant must hold a secret; we can't go back yet.
Xu Qingyun felt a chill run down her spine; she had acted impulsively just now.
She put the jade pendant back inside her dress and turned to leave.
"Stop!" Ye Boyun shouted sharply, almost blurting out "Leave your things behind."
However, he ultimately swallowed his words.
This girl is extremely clever; she must have noticed something. Otherwise, she wouldn't have put the jade pendant back in her collar. If he were to say it aloud, wouldn't he be revealing the secret of the jade pendant to her?!
Xu Qingyun glanced coldly at Ye Boyun, then walked out of the banquet hall hand in hand with Ji Hanchen.
Shen Luo and the others followed behind, glancing back at Ye Boyun with a mocking look before leaving.
As Lu Chuan was leaving, he waved goodbye and said, "Old man, please take care of yourself and don't let this upset you."
Ye Boyun was so angry that his body trembled.
Ye Jingnan chased after her, calling out, "Xiao Yun."
This time, Xu Qingyun froze, but when she turned to look at Ye Jingnan, her eyes were devoid of any warmth, chilling to the bone.
"What's up?"
The three emotionless words pierced Ye Jingnan's heart like an ice pick, causing him to feel a sharp pain in his chest and his body to tremble.
"Xiaoyun, I'm sorry," Ye Jingnan said with difficulty.
Xu Qingyun smiled slightly, but the smile was devoid of any emotion or warmth. "Is it any use saying sorry now? Cousin, this is the last time I'll call you cousin, because you saved me when I was thirteen, and because you've been good to me for the past ten years."
"But from this day forward, we are severing all ties. We go our separate ways. I don't care what kind of conspiracy you and Ye An have, but as long as you don't fall into my hands again, everything you did to me before will be forgiven."
"But if you come again, don't blame me. You know I'm not a sentimental person; I'm capable of cruel things."
Ye Jingnan felt a chill run through his body. He knew that from this day forward, Xiaoyun would be completely separated from him.
The girl he had liked for a long time eventually left him, and their relationship became completely impossible.
"Xiaoyun, I like you, I've liked you for a long time." Ye Jingnan just wanted to tell her his feelings.
Xu Qingyun did not speak.
Ji Hanchen gave a cold laugh and mocked, "Ye Jingnan, you only know how to insult the words 'I like you.' Confessing your feelings at this time will only make your feelings even cheaper."
"If you truly love Yunyun, how could you bear to hurt her?! How could you bear to watch her suffer?!"
"Your liking is based on selfishness. Don't you find it ironic that you say you like it?"
"Remember this: stay away from Yunyun from now on. She's my woman! She might overlook what you did before, but I, Ji Hanchen, can't!"
"Get close to her, and I'll make you suffer a terrible death!"
After saying that, Ji Hanchen suddenly picked Xu Qingyun up in his arms.
Xu Qingyun's pupils trembled. "Ji Hanchen."
Ji Hanchen's eyes darkened. "I just want to hold you."
**
That night, Ji Hanchen and his group booked a private room at "One Night City" in Nancheng.
Shen Luo has many businesses, and he has opened many clubs like "One Night City," at least in bustling cities like Nancheng and Haicheng.
No one ate anything at the banquet, so Shen Luo had food and drinks prepared. Once all the dishes were served, everyone sat together and ate and drank.
"Old Ji, why are you still unhappy?" Lu Chuan noticed that Ji Hanchen had been frowning ever since he returned.
Is this guy still jealous because Ye Jingnan confessed his feelings?
Ji Hanchen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing."
"Because of what you asked us to investigate?" Bai Ruiting asked in a deep voice.
Ji Hanchen remained silent, but his expression clearly showed that Bai Ruiting had guessed correctly.
The atmosphere immediately became heavy.
Although it was clarified today, what if they hadn't found it?!
A girl's most important thing is her innocence, but when someone publicly exposes her painful memories from the past, how can she have the courage to live on?!
They couldn't imagine how Xu Qingyun would face those people if they didn't find out, or whether Ji Hanchen would go crazy and kill them all.
Xu Qingyun suddenly stood up, picked up a glass of wine, and said, "Shen Luo, Lu Chuan, and Dr. Bai, thank you all. I'll drink this first."
