"Just keep it." Li Yang held Li Xue's hand and stuffed the box back into her hand. "People say jade can bring peace. Consider it a small token of my appreciation as your younger sister and aunt."
Li Xue still refused: "But, it's really too expensive..."
Li Yang gave her such a valuable gift. What if Ji Huaizhi found out and quarreled with her?
Li Yang knew that Li Xue would not accept it unless he explained it clearly, so he said, "I am currently learning about the jade business from someone, and I bought this piece of jade at a low price in the jade market.
Just wear it with peace of mind, I, your sister, will have plenty of money in the future."
When Li Xue heard this, she thought Li Yang was very bold: "Does my brother-in-law know about this?"
The jade business must cost a lot of money, right? She was really worried that Li Yang and Ji Huaizhi would have a conflict over money.
Li Yang raised his eyebrows: "He is the one who funded the capital."
Speaking of Ji Huaizhi, Li Yang looked a little uncomfortable.
Since that night, Ji Huaizhi never asked her to apply medicine for him again, and he didn't even come back to eat at night. Every day he came back after she fell asleep, and went out before she woke up, without even a chance to say a word.
As the saying goes, a man's heart is as unfathomable as the sea. Li Yang was so worried that she almost wanted to send flowers to Ji Huaizhi to appease him.
After hearing what Li Yang said, Li Xue finally felt relieved, her eyes reddening as she said, "Then I'll thank my aunt on behalf of my child."
During this time, Yang Chunhua asked her to go back to the old house once. Li Jianren was there, which was rare. Before she could even take a sip of water, he and Yang Chunhua attacked her from both sides, talking about Li Yang and Ji Huaizhi all the time, trying to get information out of her.
According to their wishes, Ji Huaizhi was not an ordinary person, so he asked her to please Li Yang more so that Li Yang could help her mother's family more, especially Li Jianren.
Li Xue agreed vaguely, but never expressed her opinion, which made Yang Chunhua so angry that she didn't let her stay any longer and let her go back.
Seeing that Li Xue had accepted it, Li Yang reminded her, "Put these three jade pendants aside for yourself. The mother-and-child buckle is suitable for wearing now, and you can wear it alternately with the jade Buddha. When your child is born, you can give her/him the child buckle and the auspicious cloud." He lowered his voice and said, "Just keep it to yourself. Don't let your mother-in-law see it."
When Li Yang mentioned Zhang Xiuying, Li Xue's eyes froze slightly, and she smiled and replied, "I understand."
The change in Li Xue's expression did not escape Li Yang's eyes.
Although she was smiling the whole time, Li Yang could see that there was an unconcealable worry between her brows, and she looked much thinner than the last time he saw her.
The late stage of pregnancy is the month when pregnant women gain weight the fastest. Li Xue is not getting fat but getting thinner, which shows that she has obviously been wronged in the Xu family.
Seeing Li Xue so unhappy, Li Yang became more determined to tell her the truth.
Li Yang stroked the bowl with both hands and said to Li Xue, "Cousin, there is something I want to tell you. You must be mentally prepared."
