There was a gloomy flash in Xu Xingran's eyes.
In fact, she had thought about this answer.
She stood up and prepared to go find Xia Qingqing.
If it was before, it might be difficult for her to get Xia Qingqing to spit out the thing.
Now……
Does Xia Qingqing dare not hand it over?
Does she dare to let He Hansheng know that Xia Ming is not dead?
Getting the pendant back was easy.
She took out her cell phone as she walked out.
She just needed to say Xia Ming's name and she didn't need to go to pick it up. Xia Qingqing would deliver it to her door obediently.
"Ranran."
As soon as she reached the door, He Hansheng called her from behind.
She looked back.
"Um?"
He Hansheng stood in front of her. His tall figure made people feel very safe. His cold face was firm, and there was a trace of heartache and annoyance in his dark eyes.
Xu Xingran suspected that she had seen it wrong.
This is He Hansheng, always so high and mighty, always cold and distant.
How could it be so inconsistent with his emotions?
There was a light in He Hansheng's eyes, and his voice was bitter and firm.
"I'll help you get the pendant back from Xia Qingqing."
"Huh?" Xu Xingran seemed to have heard something incredible.
"You want to help me get the pendant back? Do you believe what they said? The pendant is in Xia Qingqing's possession? Do you doubt Xia Qingqing?"
No way!
No way?
He Hansheng actually believed Lu Meizi and Guan Ting, two irrelevant people, and suspected Xia Qingqing?
Is it because she is hard of hearing, or is He Hansheng crazy?
He Hansheng looked at her shocked expression which clearly said "You actually doubted Xia Qingqing".
He smiled bitterly.
He deserves it.
He could only explain once more: "I will help you get the pendant back."
"Goodbye!" Xu Xingran quickly made a stop gesture to him, "He Hansheng, I am 100% sure that I can get it back by myself. If you help me get it, I think the chance of not getting it back is 100%. Please don't make trouble for me, this pendant is very important to me, I don't want to take any risks."
Xia Qingqing is a lunatic.
She can get her things back by just making a phone call.
But if He Hansheng went there, it would definitely irritate Xia Qingqing.
Who knows how crazy Xia Qingqing will go when she is provoked?
She didn't dare gamble with her mother's belongings.
She was about to leave, but He Hansheng's hands tightly grasped her wrists.
Blocked her way.
His eyes were fixed on her face, burning and determined.
"Trust me! Trust me again!"
Xu Xingran's heart sank.
She had never seen He Hansheng like this, hot and humble...
"He Hansheng, I..."
Just as she was about to speak, the phone in her hand rang. It was Zhuang Mingyue calling.
Xu Xingran picked up the phone immediately.
"Teacher Zhuang."
"Xingran, I want to tell you something. I secretly used your painting [Growing Towards the Sun] to participate in the painting competition in City C. I just learned that the results are out and you won the first prize. I was notified to take you to the award ceremony tomorrow. You must go to City C with me today. Right now!"
Xu Xingran hesitated.
She knew about the competition that Zhuang Mingyue was talking about, and she also knew that Teacher Zhuang had entered her painting into the competition.
She was grateful for Zhuang Mingyue's understanding and cultivation of her.
But now…
He Hansheng also heard the conversation and said to her firmly: "You can go and receive the award first. When you come back tomorrow, I promise that you will see your mother's relics."
Xu Xingran: ...
She curled her lips.
He clenched his palms.
"He Hansheng, this is the last time I believe you."
If He Hansheng really helped her get the pendant back, then she would write off all the indifference and alienation He Hansheng had shown her in the past.
I no longer hate him.
Yes!
Xu Xingran holds a grudge against him.
Seven years of sincere efforts have not received any response, which makes me feel wronged and lonely, self-doubt and broken.
How could she remain calm?
Every time she saw He Hansheng, she felt resentful.
Only by letting go of resentment can one completely let go of He Hansheng.
He Hansheng laughed.
He gave the most relaxed smile he had seen in a long time.
He let go of Xu Xingran's hand: "Wait for my good news."
"Um."
Xu Xingran waved her hand at him, "My teacher is in a hurry, I'll leave first. He Hansheng, you must help me get my mother's pendant back!"
He Hansheng promised firmly: "Definitely!"
Xu Xingran looked at him deeply again.
Then give He Hansheng a chance and let him make up for his past debts!
Of course, this is just emotional compensation for her.
She and He Hansheng can say goodbye completely.
From now on, the bridge will be the bridge and the road will be the road.
Xu Xingran hurried to find Zhuang Mingyue and set off for City C.
He Hansheng watched Xu Xingran leave until she disappeared.
He got in the car and went to find Xia Qingqing.
When he was leaving, he caught a glimpse of Lu Meizi and Guan Ting being taken away by the police.
He Hansheng asked Jiang Chuchen to call the police.
They stole Xu Xingran's things and forced her to kneel down. Of course he would not let them go.
At least let them shed some skin and remove some flesh!
*
Xia Qingqing's villa is not far from He Hansheng's villa, in the villa area opposite He Hansheng's villa area.
The two villa areas are next door to each other, but the prices are vastly different, and the facilities and construction are also not the same.
Xia Qingqing lay on the bed, holding a white pendant in her hand.
It was almost exactly the same as the one Lu Meizi took out.
The pendant in her hand is the relic of Xu Xingran's mother.
What Xia Qingqing is best at is taking away everything that Xu Xingran values.
Including, her mother's belongings.
The material of the pendant in my hand is of top quality and very valuable.
She got this pendant not because of her past, but because the disappearance of this pendant would make Xu Xingran painful.
At the critical moment, it can be used to threaten Xu Xingran and give her a fatal blow.
So when Guan Ting told her that Xu Xingran put the pendant in the drawer, she immediately transferred 500,000 yuan to Guan Ting and Lu Meizi each and asked them to steal the pendant.
Now, the pendant has been in her hand for four years.
"Miss, Miss, Mr. He is here to see you. He is just outside the villa."
Xia Qingqing's face was filled with unconcealable ecstasy.
"Brother Han Sheng is here?"
She didn't even bother with her shoes and ran out.
He ran downstairs and out the door in one breath, and sure enough, he saw He Hansheng's cold and arrogant figure standing next to the lotus pond.
Xia Qingqing ran towards him with eyes full of surprise.
But while running, she suddenly remembered that Xu Xingran's jade pendant was still in her hand.
Her eyes were filled with panic.
It's too late to go back now.
She held the jade pendant tightly in her hand, trying to hide it well so that He Hansheng would not find it.
She ran to He Hansheng's side and looked at him with a bright face: "Brother Hansheng!"
