She even thought it was a good thing.
However, she didn't have time to reminisce with him at that moment; the lives of her entire family were on her shoulders, and she couldn't afford to lose them.
After her mind raced, she tried to sound natural, smiling at Liu Yansong, and whispered:
"Brother Yansong, I recently learned how to tie a knot of hearts with my colleagues in the office. Is our engagement token on you?"
Give me this first, I want to take it back and apply it to my hair. I heard that if we do that, we'll be together forever after we get married.
As she spoke, her cheeks flushed like the glow of sunset, causing the young man's heart to flutter.
Although Zhu Qinghao was asking, she was certain that the jade pendant was on Liu Yansong, because he didn't trust his parents and was afraid that they would lose the jade or sell it.
The reason he values her so much is not because he values Zhu Qinghao so much, but because he values the Zhu family behind her and their wealth.
After all, as a former major capitalist, the Zhu family had an exceptionally large fortune. Even though they donated a lot during the special period, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
However, having been reborn, Zhu Qinghao no longer believes in predestined relationships and is unwilling to give a scumbag a chance to hurt her again.
When she was a ghost, she overheard the scumbag and the bitch talking about this topic. At the time, the scumbag said, "It was an accident."
He didn't elaborate further, so she didn't know what the accident was about.
She shook her head. Now was not the time to worry about these things; the most urgent task was to retrieve the Zhu family's ancestral jade pendant.
This jade pendant was given to the scumbag when the two families got engaged; the Zhu family originally thought it was just a valuable piece of jewelry.
Unexpectedly, this jade pendant was not simple at all.
That's right, this jade pendant is the one that gave Lu Rou the opportunity. She saw with her own eyes that Lu Rou accidentally spilled some blood on it, and then she got that magical opportunity.
If the jade pendant can truly retrieve and store things remotely, it will be her greatest asset in protecting her family, so she must take it back.
Liu Yansong did indeed carry the jade with him, but he was not very willing to take it out. Even though she said it was for the sake of their eternal love after marriage, he was still hesitant.
Seeing this, Zhu Qinghao had no choice but to take his hand and coax him into taking the things out.
He took out a handkerchief from his innermost pocket, slowly unfolded it, and inside lay the Zhu family's ancestral jade pendant.
Fearing that the scumbag might change his mind again, Zhu Qinghao quickly avoided the handkerchief, took the jade pendant, wrapped it in her own handkerchief, and kept it close to her body.
Meeting Liu Yansong's somewhat strange gaze, she explained:
"Brother Yansong, don't overthink it. I'm just worried that if someone sees us with the jade pendant, they might report us..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Yansong understood her unspoken meaning and nodded in deep agreement.
Yes, who wasn't afraid of the committees and the Red Guards these days?
After receiving the items, Zhu Qinghao was unwilling to speak further. She dismissed Liu Yansong with a few words and hurriedly ran home from school.
She is a middle school teacher. If she were teaching, she wouldn't be able to just run away so easily. Fortunately, school is over now, so she doesn't need to ask for leave or find someone to cover for her.
Having worked for over two years, she had never felt that the distance between school and home was so far.
Knowing that tomorrow would be the day the committee stormed the Zhu family villa to ransack it, she had already run at her fastest speed in two lifetimes, but she kept telling herself to go faster, even faster.
As she ran, she felt a tight grip on her heart, but she didn't dare stop. She just clutched her chest and kept running forward, panting heavily.
