Yun Mo took out the velvet box containing the plain gold bracelet from her handbag, turned the velvet box over, and gently pressed the bottom. There was a "click" sound, and the bottom popped open, revealing the hollow interior.

A green jade pendant was lying inside.

The jade pendant was originally placed in the space by Yun Mo. It was not until Zeng Fang went to the kitchen just now that Yun Mo moved the jade pendant to the velvet box.

Zeng Fang didn't know this and thought Yun Mo had hidden the jade pendant in the velvet box from the beginning.

"This looks like a small velvet box, but it actually has such an ingenious mechanism. I'm afraid Yun Yao would never have thought that Yu Liang had been hiding right under her nose."

Yun Mo took out the jade pendant and said, "We can't keep this thing for long."

Zeng Fang took the jade pendant and looked at it, rather disdainfully. "The water quality is average, and the color is a bit dull. It's probably worth two or three hundred yuan at most."

"That's not a small amount. When I find a chance to sell it, we can split it 50-50, half for each of us?"

"OK."

After discussing how to deal with the jade pendant, Zeng Fang looked at the velvet box again with admiration on her face.

"Momo, tell me the truth, did you never intend to give this birthday gift to your adoptive mother from the beginning?"

Yun Mo curled her lips and told her the story of how Yun Yao framed her as a thief at her wedding, and then when they went to An City, Yun Yao colluded with human traffickers to abduct her.

"Yun Yao has repeatedly framed me and tried to kill me, so I must give her a taste of her own medicine. The Yun family has always favored Yun Yao and condoned her persecution of me. They are all Yun Yao's accomplices and do not deserve my birthday gift."

After hearing what Yun Mo said, Zeng Fang couldn't help but feel indignant.

"This Yun Yao is too vicious. It's not your fault that your identity was swapped. She doesn't blame the hospital or your parents, but she keeps bullying you and retaliating against you. Is she sick?"

He is indeed sick, and it is quite serious.

"Pick the softest persimmons."

"It's so abominable! I get chills just thinking about it. Momo, it's really not easy for you to sit here and talk to me. Fortunately, you decided to cut off your relationship with them. If you didn't, I would have taken out my 40-meter-long sword to cut it off for you!"

Yun Mo found it funny, and then she said seriously: "Fang Fang, I'm telling you this not because I want you to stand up for me, but because I want to remind you that Yun Yao is scheming, selfish, and vicious. If you don't have an absolute chance of winning, you should avoid her if you can, and never take risks with yourself."

Zeng Fang nodded seriously, "Okay, I won't act on my own."

"By the way, Momo, where did you hide the daffodil juice?"

Yun Mo took off the pearl ring on her hand and squeezed it gently. The fingernail-sized pearl opened like a shell.

"This pearl is actually hollow?"

"To be precise, this is not a real pearl. It is just made of special materials to look like a pearl."

As she spoke, Yun Mo handed the ring to Zeng Fang, "I'll give it to you. You can put some drug powder in it for self-defense."

This pearl ring is beautiful and exquisite, no one would not like it, but...

"No, Momo, I can't have your ring. You keep it for yourself. You live alone and need it more than I do."

"Don't worry, I have other self-defense items."

Seeing Zeng Fang still hesitating, Yun Mo said, "I didn't give the things away for free. I still need your help with something. If you don't accept it, it means you are not willing to help me."

"How is that possible, Momo? You tell me, I will help you even if it means I have to go through fire and water."

Yun family.

After a tiring day, Jiang Yu would have gone to bed long ago under normal circumstances, but tonight she was still awake after 11 o'clock. She leaned against the head of the bed, thinking about things in a distracted manner, and kept looking towards the door, as if waiting for someone.

I don't know how long it was before the bedroom door was finally opened, and Jiang Yu immediately sat up from the bed.

Yun Shixian closed the door casually, his face showing no joy or anger but full of the dignity of a head of the family, "Why are you still not asleep so late?"

"Oh, how can I sleep well? That damn girl actually said in public that she wanted to sever ties with us and move her household registration. I'm worried that it will ruin your plan."

Yun Shixian snorted coldly, "She thinks my Yun family runs a charity. We've raised her to this age, and now that she's grown strong enough, she wants to fly away. It's not that easy."

"But she is already 18 years old and married. It is unreasonable for us to keep withholding her household registration. Outsiders will gossip about her."

"I know what's going on. You don't have to worry about it. If she comes to you again, just tell her to come to me."

After hearing her husband's words, Jiang Yu finally felt relieved, but then she thought of the marriage between the Zhongsu family.

"As for the Su family, have you mentioned Ming'an and Xiaoyao's marriage to them? Although the Su family agreed to change the engagement partner to Xiaoyao, they have been silent for so long and have not mentioned any rules for their marriage. I am always worried."

When Yun Shixian mentioned his eldest daughter's marriage to Su Ming'an, his face darkened.

Whether it was today or in the past, he had mentioned the engagement to the Su family several times indirectly, but the Su family was vague every time and refused to respond directly.

Of course he could see that the Su family was unhappy with this marriage, but the marriage was arranged by the old men of the two families.

Mr. Su and Mr. Yun are close friends. Mr. Yun even saved Mr. Su's life. For this reason, Mr. Yun has been plagued by injuries.

Today, Grandpa Yun has passed away early due to an old illness, but Grandpa Su is still alive and well.

As long as Grandpa Su is alive, the Su family will have to accept this marriage, otherwise, they will be criticized!

Su family.

Mrs. Su was also awake. She was wearing silk pajamas and sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV with a gloomy look on her face.

Su Jin had an important meeting with several leaders tonight and got home very late. When he entered the door, he saw his wife still watching TV and could not help but look at the clock on the wall.

It's 12 o'clock.

"Pei Rong, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Song Peirong glanced at her husband and said, "I can't sleep."

Hearing the gunpowder in his tone, Su Jin asked in a good-tempered manner, "Why, did Ming'an make you angry again?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but once she did, Song Peirong couldn't suppress her anger, "I knew you were talking about Ming'an, you're not a good person either!"

Su Jin: “…”

Smart men know that they should not mess with their wives at this time.

"Okay, okay, I'm not a good person. Dear Ms. Song, shouldn't you tell me where I did wrong? You should give me a chance to correct it, right?"

Song Peirong glared at him angrily, "It's still the Yun family. That Yun Yao has no talent or looks, she's two-faced and treacherous. How can she be worthy of our Ming'an? I feel so upset when I think about this marriage!"

Su Jin felt helpless when he heard that his wife was angry about her marriage with the Yun family.

"There's nothing we can do. Who made our dad owe him a life?"

Song Peirong was so angry that her eyes turned red. "Dad owes them a favor, so he can just pay it back himself. Why should he use Ming'an's lifelong happiness to compensate for it!?"

"I am his son. If I can't pay it back, then I, his son, must pay it back."
