On the plane to Shanghai.
Qiu Mengyun nudged Xia Tian, who was dozing beside her, with her arm and said, "Hey, is there anything special about the jade pendant that Grandpa Xia gave me?"
"No, it's just an ordinary piece of ancient jade." Xia Tian didn't even raise his eyelids and casually answered Qiu Mengyun's question.
"Tsk! I don't believe it. If there's nothing special, how could you be willing to exchange a more precious ancient jade with me? Moreover, you are willing to make such a harsh bet with me. This jade pendant must have some special meaning, that's why you are so nervous, right?" Qiu Mengyun said with certainty.
"You said before that this is our family heirloom. You know what an heirloom is? It is a token of our family that has been passed down from generation to generation. This in itself represents the specialness of this jade pendant and has nothing to do with its own value. So, I advise you to give me this jade pendant as soon as possible so that I can buy you a more precious gift. After all, this thing is really useless in your hands." Xia Tian still persuaded without giving up.
"Hmph! I don't want it. Even if it has no special meaning, it is a gift from Grandpa Xia to me. I will not give it to you. If you really want it, then you can ask Grandpa Xia for it. If he asks me to return this jade pendant to you, then I will definitely return it to you without hesitation." Qiu Mengyun also retorted relentlessly.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you so much. Well, I'm sleepy and need to rest for a while, don't disturb me if there's nothing to do." Seeing that he couldn't convince himself, Xia Tian was too lazy to waste any more words, so he turned his head and continued to pretend to take a nap.
"Hmph! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Sooner or later I will know the secret of this jade pendant." Seeing that Xia Tian was unwilling to pay attention to her, Qiu Mengyun turned her head away in angrily and ignored him.
Outside the Magic City Airport, in Qiu Mengyun’s nanny car.
"Mengyun, didn't you say you might stay there for a few days? Why are you back so soon?" Li Lu, who came to pick you up at the airport, asked curiously.
Qiu Mengyun curled her lips and said, "I had thought that after finally going to Zhengcheng, I would have a good time there for a few days. But I didn't expect that someone would be so heartless and ruthless. He just helped me and started to drive me away."
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Qiu Mengyun's words, Li Lu immediately turned around and glared at Xia Tian, who was sitting in the back seat, saying, "Hey! You're going too far! You said you needed help, needed someone to help you deal with your grandfather, but our Mengyun rushed over from the Magic City without a word. She didn't even have lunch before rushing to the airport. She was afraid that she would be late and delay your business. As a result, you didn't even thank our Mengyun properly, but you actually burned the bridge after crossing the river."
Facing Li Lu's accusations, Xia Tian was filled with grievances. It was clearly Grandpa who asked them to leave, so what did it have to do with him? Moreover, when Qiu Mengyun was in Zhengcheng, he had clearly done his best to entertain her! Although he hadn't spent much money since picking her up, he had really made every effort to arrange it. Those night market snacks, spicy soup, and braised noodles were all specialties of Zhengcheng. There was nothing wrong with his hospitality!
"I...I didn't." Xia Tian retorted somewhat lacking confidence.
"You still say no. Mengyun finally took the time to visit you. Did you take her out for a walk and have fun? Have you taken her to the more famous places near your Zhengcheng, such as Shaolin Temple, Qingming Shanghe Park, Song Dynasty Martial Arts City, etc.?" Li Lu did not give Xia Tian any face and questioned him mercilessly.
"Uh! The time is too short and I haven't had time to go. I'm just afraid of delaying her schedule. After all, aren't you celebrities very busy?" Xia Tian said embarrassedly.
"I think you did it on purpose. You must be afraid of spending money, so you don't want to take Mengyun out to play. You said before that you like Mengyun and that you are her fan. Don't you know that her biggest event this year is the concert tour? Now that the concert has just ended, how can we arrange other work for her so soon?" Li Lu kept on complaining about Xia Tian, while he lowered his head and listened silently with shame on his face.
Seeing Xia Tian looking like a good baby, Qiu Mengyun gave Li Lu a thumbs up with admiration.
After ranting for a while, Li Lu realized that Xia Tian just nodded in agreement, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore. She turned to look at Qiu Mengyun beside her and asked, "Mengyun, our company is having a dinner at the Genting Hotel tonight. Now that you're back, do you want to come with us?"
Qiu Mengyun didn't answer Li Lu's question immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Xia Tian in the back row: "Xia Tian, do you have anything to do later? Do you want to go to Genting Hotel with us for dinner?"
Xia Tian hesitated for a moment and declined politely, "Forget it. It's not good for me, an outsider, to go to your company dinner."
Qiu Mengyun persuaded him, "It's nothing, just a place for everyone to sit down and chat and eat. There will be a lot of celebrities there, and maybe one of your favorites will be there. Even if your favorite isn't there, there will definitely be one your classmates or friends like. Don't you want a few autographs and a few photos to show off to them when you get back?"
Hearing her say this, Xia Tian was really moved. He himself was not a fan of stars, but he just remembered his good brother Chen Shaojie in this life. The sweet actress he had always liked seemed to be an artist of Qiu Mengyun's company.
He asked with a hint of anticipation, "Will Bai Xinran also attend the party tonight?"
When Qiu Mengyun heard that Xia Tian was actually asking about the whereabouts of another beautiful girl in front of her, a nameless anger rose in her heart.
