Last night, when Xu Jia ran towards Ji Lun, the jade pendant was accidentally exposed.
Ji Hanchen happened to glance at it, but didn't pay attention at the time. However, now that he thinks about it, Xu Jia's jade pendant is extremely similar to Yunyun's.
Ji Hanchen narrowed his dark eyes slightly and boldly guessed, "This jade pendant was originally meant for you, but Xu Jia snatched it away? Did your adoptive parents switch it with a fake jade?"
"Hmm." Xu Qingyun didn't hide anything, and a sudden thought flashed through her mind.
Ten years ago, when her grandfather gave her the jade pendant, Xu Jia cried and made a scene, jumping up and down to snatch it.
Xu Hongru was furious and immediately put the jade pendant away, angrily saying, "I'm not giving it to anyone!"
Even so, Xu Jia was still relentless, and even pushed Xu Hongru down the stairs because he refused to give her the jade pendant.
At the time, Xu Jia had no idea of the jade pendant's value; she was simply taking Xu Qingyun's things out of habit.
Xu Jia likes shiny things like diamonds, but she doesn't actually like other jade and jade artifacts, so why would she wear jade on her body?
Xu Qingyun could only think of one possibility: that the jade pendant was very important to Xu Jia.
But why is it important?
Xu Qingyun lowered her head, her delicate hand caressing the phoenix carved on the jade pendant.
In ancient times, people believed that the dragon and the phoenix brought good fortune, and that where there was a phoenix, there would usually be a dragon.
Xu Qingyun's eyes widened. Xu Jia and Ji Lun were engaged. Could this jade pendant represent their engagement?
Yes, it must be an engagement!
She had always found it strange that a wealthy family like the Ji family would choose a granddaughter-in-law like Xu Jia, whose background and character were not good enough.
But if it's an engagement, then it makes sense.
So, the unfinished will from Grandpa was to have her take the jade pendant to Ji Lun?
Liang Wanrou wanted Xu Jia to take her place, so she made a replica of the jade pendant. After her grandfather discovered it, he killed her to silence her.
The thought made Xu Qingyun's face turn pale instantly, her breathing became rapid, and her chest felt a dense, tingling pain!
If Grandpa really died because of this, then Liang Wanrou is truly ruthless and deserves to be torn to pieces!
Ji Hanchen quietly watched the girl beside him, not missing any subtle expressions on her face.
Confusion, sudden realization, followed by anger and hatred.
What is she thinking?
"Why did Xu Jia take your jade pendant? Does it have anything to do with your background? You are Xu Sen's real daughter, and Xu Jia is an adopted daughter."
Xu Qingyun suddenly laughed, her laughter cold and mocking.
“Xu Jia and I are both Xu Sen’s daughters, but Xu Sen felt I was not worthy and claimed that I was an adopted daughter.”
Ji Hanchen was taken aback, his dark eyes widened, and then he was filled with heartache.
His Yunyun doesn't even have a legitimate identity, so why does the Xu family hate her so much?
"Since this jade pendant has nothing to do with status, why did your stepmother make a fake one?"
Xu Qingyun shook her head, not telling Ji Hanchen that she was engaged to Ji Lun.
She wondered if Ji Lun's persistent pursuit of her for two years had anything to do with their engagement.
For a moment, Xu Qingyun was a little confused. Although she had sorted out her thoughts, there were still some parts she didn't understand.
If she was engaged to Ji Lun, why would her grandfather and Ji Huai want Ji Hanchen to marry her?
At this moment, Xu Qingyun had no idea that her misunderstanding was because Xu Jia mistakenly took Ji Lun for Ji Hanchen.
**
Just as Ji Hanchen's Bentley arrived at Shunyuan Jade Shop, Liang Wanrou came out.
Liang Wanrou was dressed elegantly, with a smile on her face, seemingly satisfied with the result.
Xu Qingyun didn't get out of the car. She looked at Liang Wanrou through the tinted car window, her fingers gripping the car door handle. Her once fair and pink knuckles had turned completely pale.
hatred!
Xu Qingyun had never hated anyone so much before. Even when she was kicked out of the Xu family by her biological father ten years ago, her hatred had never been as intense as it is now.
If Liang Wanrou really killed her grandfather, she will definitely make Liang Wanrou pay for her crime in blood!
A phone call interrupted Xu Qingyun's thoughts, dispelling the burning hatred in her eyes and leaving only a coldness.
The call was from Lao Liu, asking her if she wanted to continue investigating Shun Yuan's matter.
Xu Qingyun said, "Since it has been completely confirmed that Liang Wanrou imitated the jade pendant, then I don't need to continue investigating. The people of Shunyuan could not possibly know why Liang Wanrou imitated the jade pendant."
"What you say is true, Miss. Then I'll head back now."
"Okay, please drive slowly."
Xu Qingyun agreed and rubbed her temples.
"Headache?" Ji Hanchen asked.
Xu Qingyun shook her head, "It's okay. Ji Hanchen, just put me down, I'll wander around here."
Ji Hanchen was worried about her being alone, "I'll stay with you. I'm not busy these next couple of days."
Chiang Hsun opened his mouth: "..."
Mr. Ji, do you want to listen to what you're saying? There was a very important video conference this morning, and all the senior executives were present.
But the CEO was too busy with his love life to dare say anything, he just didn't dare.
Ji Hanchen sent a message to Ji Huai, asking him to fill in for him at the company.
Ji Huai was so angry he wanted to curse, "You brat! I'm almost eighty, I'm panting when I walk, and I still have to cover shifts! What's he doing?"
The butler smiled and said, "Master, Jiang Xun reports that our Ninth Master is with Miss Qingyun."
Ji Huai's eyes lit up immediately, and the slight annoyance on his face vanished instantly.
"You're with Xiaoyun? Hahaha, great, great! Young people should date more. I'll take care of the boring work."
The butler couldn't help but chuckle, "The old master has been worrying himself sick over Ninth Master's marriage."
Ji Huai chuckled, "You know all this, but that brat doesn't. I arranged his engagement when he was nine. Would I harm him?"
