The atmosphere was somewhat warm, and Gu Yibei's voice was unconsciously gentle and tender: "Are you still in the company? I'll pick you up."
"I'm at XX Bank."
XX Bank is very close to here, only about five minutes' drive away.
Gu Yibei started the car: "I'm nearby, wait for me to pick you up."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, the man put his hands on the steering wheel and left.
…………
When Gu Yibei arrived, Ji Zhinan had been waiting at the door for a while. When he saw his Maybach, Ji Zhinan smiled.
The car stopped in front of her, Ji Zhinan opened the passenger door and got in.
Gu Yibei loosened his seat belt and leaned over to help her fasten it.
The distance between the two people suddenly became closer, with the tips of their noses only about three centimeters apart, and they could even hear each other's breathing.
"Batta"
After fastening her seat belt, Ji Zhinan thought he would go back, but the next moment the man lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
He withdrew his hand in an instant, sat back in his seat and fastened his seat belt again.
His warmth was still on her lips. Ji Zhinan was stunned for several seconds before she reacted, her face turning slightly red.
"Would you like some midnight snack?" he asked considerately.
"No need." Ji Zhinan shook his head: "Just go home."
"good."
Gu Yibei started the car and his destination was the high-end residential area where Ji Zhinan lived.
While the man was driving, Ji Zhinan took out the things he had saved from the bank.
This is the phoenix jade pendant given to her by the old man. She has kept it in the bank since she got it.
The jade pendant was a little smaller than her palm, and she could hold it in her hand just right.
Staring at the jade pendant, Ji Zhinan couldn't find anything special about it.
She didn't know much about jade. Even though she had read a lot about it some time ago, she still didn't understand it thoroughly enough.
If I'm not mistaken, this jade pendant should have been left to her by her father or her mother, and it is an important clue for her to uncover the mystery of her life.
But...what's so special about this jade pendant? There must be something special about it.
If it was just an ordinary thing, the old man would not let her keep it carefully and protect it as if it were her own life.
"This jade pendant is nice."
A man's voice came to his ears, and Ji Zhinan came to his senses. He found that Gu Yibei had stopped the car and was waiting for the green light.
She glanced at the jade pendant on her hand, then looked at Gu Yibei: "Do you know anything about jade?"
Gu Yibei shook his head. He was not interested in those things.
but--
"Grandpa Qin Yu is very interested in these things. If you want to know anything, I'll take you to see him someday."
After saying that, Gu Yibei added: "But I can be sure that this piece of jade is not an ordinary thing."
"Why?"
"I can see that."
Although he was an outsider, he could tell some valuable things with the naked eye.
"..." Ji Zhinan was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Actually, this is something the old man gave me a while ago. He said that this thing is very important and that I must keep it well. So I think it may be an important item for me to solve the mystery of my life."
The man stared at her with his dark eyes and asked seriously, "Girl, do you want to find them?"
“…”
Do you want to? Ji Zhinan didn't know how to answer this question.
Although Mr. Ji is not her biological grandfather, he has been very good to her over the years, even better than he was to Ji Zhixia. It would be a lie to say that he has no feelings for her.
