Ye Jingnan chuckled, "Why did you break up? That guy relentlessly pursued you for two years, and you only recently started dating."
Xu Qingyun felt a tightness in her chest.
Indeed, Ji Lun was very gentle and attentive when he pursued her, and he never gave up no matter how cold she was.
How could she have imagined that this rich young master was actually a womanizer?
Xu Qingyun was a little annoyed, so she could only reply casually, "If it's not suitable, then we'll break up. My personality isn't suited for dating."
"Fine, it's over. My Xiaoyun deserves better. If you don't meet your true love, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life."
Ye Jingnan's voice was gentle and doting, like the warm sun in winter, a ray of sunlight shining down, filling the surroundings with warmth.
Xu Qingyun's face softened considerably. "Brother, I'm not a child. I can take care of myself."
"I know, our Yunyun is the best," Ye Jingnan coaxed her.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle softly.
She is introverted and rarely expresses her emotions so openly.
However, being pampered by her cousin like a kindergarten child did make her feel happy.
After chatting for a couple more minutes, Xu Qingyun hung up the phone.
She put the bank card into her handbag, picked up the jade pendant, and focused on repairing it.
At the same time, the Xu family...
"You slut! You slut!"
Xu Jia screamed as she entered the room, kicked off the slippers by the door, and angrily threw herself onto the sofa, showing no trace of the demeanor of a pampered young lady.
Liang Wanrou got angry when she saw her like that.
Xu Qingyun has always had a great figure, which is completely different from her daughter's.
She had never taught Xu Qingyun, yet that little vixen acted as if she were born into a noble family.
Then look at my own daughter, I hired a professional etiquette teacher, but she's still the same!
Taking a deep breath, Liang Wanrou threw away the scissors and pushed the flowers she had just arranged aside, warning impatiently, "What's wrong with you now? Let me tell you, your dad is already overwhelmed with work. If you anger him now, you'll be in big trouble."
Xu Jia gritted her teeth menacingly, "Mom, that bastard who's keeping Xu Qingyun as his mistress actually knows Mr. Songzhu!"
"Today I went to Guyunfang with Li Nannan and saw him deliver the jade pendant to Guyunfang with my own eyes."
"He's just a gigolo, how did he get to meet Mr. Songzhu? I'm so angry!"
Liang Wanrou snorted coldly, "I thought it was something serious. Just send it over, why are you in such a hurry? Did you think I gave away my ten million for nothing?"
Xu Jia suddenly sat up straight and scolded, "Mom, really, since you made a copy of the jade pendant, why didn't you just make a completely different one?"
Liang Wanrou glared at her daughter fiercely, "Are you stupid? Your grandfather was still alive then, how was I supposed to know when he would wake up?! It's a good thing I made a fake one, otherwise it really would have ended up in your hands?"
"However, the old man has a sharp eye; he saw through it immediately and forced me to bring out the real one."
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been forced to kill the old man, adding another life to her hands.
Thinking of this, Liang Wanrou quickly took off the Buddhist prayer beads from her hand, closed her eyes, gently twirled the beads, and silently prayed in her heart: Buddha bless, Buddha bless.
Xu Jia stomped her foot in anger, "But I'm worried that the bitch will find out that the jade pendant belongs to the Ji family, and then she'll steal my engagement. What will I do then?"
Liang Wanrou opened her eyes, a murderous glint flashing in them. "Don't worry, Songzhu wouldn't dare break his promise. Even if the jade pendant is repaired, Xu Qingyun wouldn't be able to tell it's fake. She doesn't have that old man's ability. You can just wait to marry into the Ji family."
**
Liang Wanrou threw the jade pendant on the ground with great force, but fortunately, half of the pendant landed on the carpet, so it wasn't badly broken.
At that moment, Xu Qingyun had just finished repairing the jade pendant.
She placed the jade pendant under the lamp and examined it carefully, her cool eyes slowly narrowing.
Something's wrong with this jade pendant.
The jade is fine, but it's not an antique; it's a replica made from top-quality jade.
Was the jade in Grandpa's hand not genuine, or was Liang Wanrou up to something?
Just as Xu Qingyun was filled with doubt, Ji Hanchen's WeChat video call interrupted her thoughts, which immediately annoyed her.
Suppressing her anger, Xu Qingyun rejected the call and then used another phone to call Ji Hanchen.
"Mr. Ji, the jade pendant has been repaired. You can come and pick it up at your convenience."
Ji Hanchen said indifferently, "Mr. Songzhu truly lives up to his reputation."
Xu Qingyun said modestly, "Mr. Ji, you flatter me. I'll leave the things with Lao Liu."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingyun put the jade pendant away and left the restoration room.
If Ji Hanchen is coming to get the jade pendant, then she won't bother her anymore.

Shuiyunzhai is a vegetarian restaurant located in the suburbs of Beijing. It used to be my grandfather's favorite vegetarian restaurant.
Xu Qingyun was feeling a bit upset today; she missed her grandfather.
This place is quaint and charming. Ten years have passed, but it is still the same as before, only with the added flavor of time.
In a daze, Xu Qingyun recalled the scene ten years ago when her grandfather held her hand and walked along this corridor.
Xu Qingyun walked slowly along the corridor toward the main hall, her dark green cheongsam adding a touch of ancient charm to her swaying waist.
Just then, an elderly woman in her seventies came out of the lobby and smiled with delight, "Is that Xiaoyun? The Xu family's youngest daughter?"
Xu Qingyun came to her senses. "Grandma Li, do you still recognize me?"
Grandma Li smiled kindly, "I knew it was you as soon as I saw your cheongsam. You look just like you did when you were little. Where's your grandpa? Didn't he come with you?"
Xu Qingyun's eyes dimmed, and the corners of her mouth curved with a bitter smile. "My grandfather passed away on October 1st."
Grandma Li froze, then sighed, "Oh, your grandfather was a good man, very talented. What a pity. Child, please accept my condolences."
Xu Qingyun nodded, "Grandma Li, I know. You don't need to entertain me, I just came here to sit for a while."

On the other side.
Ji Hanchen retrieved the jade pendant himself from the Guyunfang store.
He opened the sandalwood box, picked up the jade pendant, and looked at it with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
He didn't know anything about antiques, but the fact that the jade pendant showed no signs of repair was enough to demonstrate how exquisite the craftsmanship of the woman named "Songzhu" was.
But why does this jade pendant seem familiar?
Ji Hanchen narrowed his dark eyes, trying hard to remember where he had seen him before.
"President Ji, where do we go next?" Jiang Xun asked.
Ji Hanchen collected his thoughts, took a picture and sent it to Xu Qingyun, then slammed the box shut.
—Yunyun, the jade pendant is repaired. Should I send it to your home or somewhere else?
Seeing that there was no reply, Ji Hanchen sighed helplessly. Did this little girl hate him that much?
Ji Hanchen tapped his long fingers on the phone screen and typed another line: Or, you can come to the Ji family to pick it up?
Before he could send it, Xu Qingyun sent her location with a message: "Ji Hanchen, can you come and keep me company?"
