Although she was full of doubts, Xu Jingchu didn't take off the Hornless Dragon Jade Pendant hanging around her neck.
This was the first gift Yue Heng gave her.
Xu Jingchu also had a gift for Yue Heng.
It was a black bracelet with a safety buckle that she bought from a street stall.
It was worth five yuan.
Yue Heng happily put it on his hand.
For the two of them, the value of a gift that represented their feelings couldn't be measured by money.
If Yue Heng gave Xu Jingchu a cheap bracelet.
She would also be very happy.
In the afternoon, the two of them visited the City God Temple scenic area.
When the sun set in the west, Yue Heng drove Xu Jingchu back to the entrance of Taijiang No.1.
There was a black Rolls-Royce parked on the empty street.
Xu Jingchu stuck out her tongue and whispered, "I'm going back first."
There was a trace of guilt in her voice.
Yue Heng nodded. "Okay."
Xu Jingchu jumped down from the back seat of the motorbike and ran to the Rolls-Royce.
She waved at Yue Heng and then opened the door and sat in.
However, just as she sat in the back seat, Xu Jingchu's body immediately stiffened.
The expression on her face also froze.
"Mom."
The girl lowered her head and whispered, not daring to look at the woman sitting next to her.
The woman's appearance was 60% to 70% similar to Xu Jingchu, especially the shape of her face and nose.
She looked to be in her early thirties, mature, beautiful, and outstanding. However, her red phoenix eyes revealed a bit of fierceness, showing a shrewd and valiant taste.
This woman was Xu Jingchu's mother, Chi Qingwan!
Never in her wildest dreams did Xu Jingchu expect that her busy mother would personally come to school to pick her up.
The fact that she had gone out with Yue Heng in the afternoon was obviously exposed!
Chi Qingwan ignored her daughter. She watched Yue Heng leave on his bike through the car window.
Then she faintly asked, "Jingjing, do you remember what you promised your mother?"
Xu Jingchu felt extremely guilty.
When she heard this, she became stubborn. "Can't I go out with my classmates to play?"
Chi Qingwan stared at her. "Do you dare to say that you are not in love with this boy?"
She was not a stubborn, feudal parent.
After all, he was once young.
But were people from two different worlds really suitable for each other?
Chi Qingwan did not want to see her daughter fall into the trap of love.
She was still underage.
Xu Jingchu raised her chin. "No!"
The girl was very clear.
She could get everything if she acted coquettishly to her father, but she would get nothing if she pretended to be pitiful to her mother.
"Yes, I believe you."
Chi Qingwan didn't argue with her daughter. Her eyes fell on her neck. "What are you wearing around your neck?"
"Nothing."
Xu Jingchu's soaring momentum instantly fell. She subconsciously shrank her neck.
She tried to hide the Hornless Dragon Jade Pendant deeper.
"That boy gave it to you, right?"
Chi Qingwan's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile. "Can you let me see?"
Xu Jingchu hesitated for a moment. She obediently took off the jade pendant and handed it to her mother.
Chi Qingwan took it and glanced at it. "Eh?"
Chi Qingwan was born into a scholarly family. Her parents were celebrities in Taijiang. Her family background was very extraordinary.
Xu Jingchu's grandfather was a collector of antique calligraphy and painting.
Her grandmother only loved jade and jade.
Therefore, in this aspect, Chi Qingwan could be said to have a profound family background. Under the influence of her parents, she cultivated a brilliant eye.
She could tell at a glance that this Hornless Dragon Jade Pendant was an antique of the Han Dynasty.
The quality of the jade was very good and rare. The two dots of pigeon blood on the dragon's eyes were even more amazing.
Playing with the jade pendant, Chi Qingwan actually had the idea of confiscating it!
"Mom."
Xu Jingchu was keenly aware of her mother's bad intentions. "Are you done looking at it?"
Chi Qingwan reluctantly returned the jade pendant to her daughter.
Her mood was quite complicated. "He's willing to spend money."
If this jade pendant were to be auctioned, it wouldn't be a problem to sell for eight figures.
Chi Qingwan didn't expect that a teenager who rode an electric scooter would give Xu Jingchu such a precious gift.
She instinctively became vigilant.
"Mom!"
This questioning sentence made Xu Jingchu very unhappy. She held the jade pendant and turned her head to the other side.
She didn't want to quarrel with her mother. She also didn't want to hear the latter say bad things about Yue Heng.
Was Yue Heng sincere or did he have an ulterior motive?
Xu Jingchu could judge for herself.
Even if it turned out that she was wrong, she wouldn't regret it!
"Mom was wrong."
Chi Qingwan immediately put her arm around her daughter's shoulder and said softly, "You shouldn't have doubted your friend."
Xu Jingchu sighed and leaned into her mother's arms. "Mom, I love you."
Chi Qingwan: "Uh."
She felt that all the calculations in her heart were clearly seen and understood by her daughter.
She was speechless.
Then this great president wanted to immediately call Xu Yuntian.
She wanted to have a fierce quarrel with him!
And just as the mother and daughter were fighting with wits and courage.
Thousands of miles away in the capital, Xiao Cheng dragged his heavy steps back to the headquarters of the Xiao Group.
In a trance, he didn't notice the look of the female secretary outside the president's office.
He pushed the door open and went in.
What happened today made Xiao Cheng physically and mentally exhausted. He just came back from a private psychiatrist.
Even though he did psychological counseling.
That nightmarish scene still lingered in Young Master Xiao's mind!
However, Xiao Cheng never expected that.
Just as he was thinking of taking a good rest in the safest place he felt.
The scene in front of him made his eyes almost burst!
"Xiao Taize!"
In the president's office that Xiao Cheng regarded as his private space, a young man in his twenties was sitting in a big office chair, casually putting his legs on the mahogany desk that was worth millions.
His precious 1990 bottle of Romanée-Conti had been opened, and his favorite Havana cigar was in the other party's mouth. The table was littered with wine glasses, ashtrays, alcohol lamps, car keys, and so on.
Xiao Cheng almost had a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot!
The young man who broke into Xiao Cheng's private space was his cousin Xiao Taize.
He was the infamous hedonistic son of the family!
Xiao Cheng couldn't figure it out at all.
How could this useless trash dare to be so arrogant in front of him?
He really wanted to die!
"Cheng Ge is back."
Xiao Taize, who usually feared Xiao Cheng like a tiger, put down his legs with a smile and waved the cigar at him. "Your cigar is good, your wine is good, and your female secretary is even prettier."
"Worthy of being the role model of the family. You play so well. I'll give you a thumbs up!"
Xiao Cheng listened with a ferocious expression. "I don't want to bicker with you today. Get the hell out of here!"
"You want me to get the hell out?"
Xiao Taize's expression became strange. "Cheng Ge, did you make a mistake?"
Xiao Cheng was not an ordinary person after all.
Seeing that Xiao Taize's attitude was very strange, he immediately became vigilant. "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Taize grabbed a remote control and said meaningfully, "I want to show you something good."
As soon as his voice fell, the 100-inch display hanging on the wall immediately lit up.
The photo of Zhenren Xuanyuan of the Sanqing Temple suddenly appeared on it!
Xiao Cheng's expression changed instantly.
"Cheng Ge, let me introduce you to this person's background."
Xiao Taize appreciated it for a moment and then said with a faint smile, "It's very wonderful."
Zhenren Xuanyuan, whose real name was Zhang Zhiliang, was 40 years old and came from an ordinary family.
He had rich life experience. During his college years, he spent three years in Internet cafes and played a game called Counter Strike every day. He was so obsessed with it that he stayed up all night and was still full of energy.
Later, he couldn't survive and didn't get a graduation certificate, so he wandered in society.
He worked in various jobs, but they didn't last long.
Finally, he worked in a pyramid scheme gang for two years and was caught when he was promoted to the level of supervisor.
After serving his sentence and being released, he went to Mount Taitu to become a Taoist priest.
More than half a year ago, Zhang Zhiliang, who called himself "Zhenren Xuanyuan", came to Beijing.
Then he became famous!
After talking about Zhenren Xuanyuan's background, Xiao Taize pressed the remote control in his hand and played a surveillance video.
It was the scene of Xiao Cheng and Zhenren Xuanyuan meeting in the quiet room!
Reliving this scene, Xiao Cheng's hands were shaking.
"Cheng Ge, do you know?"
Xiao Taize took a puff of his cigar and said, "Zhenren Xuanyuan was supported by the Sun family. They wanted to catch him."
"You actually tore his fishing net apart!"
Xiao Cheng clenched his fists. "His death has nothing to do with me!"
"The Sun family didn't think so."
Xiao Taize sneered. "If it weren't for the old man, you would have been caught."
Xiao Cheng's heart suddenly turned cold.
The Sun family was more powerful than the Xiao family. He was most likely going to take the blame.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I'm finished, it's not your turn to sit in this position!"
"Cheng Ge …"
Xiao Taize dragged his voice and looked at him with indescribable contempt. "Open your eyes and look at the world. Times have changed. Even if you didn't offend the Sun family, you have to give up your position."
Xiao Cheng growled, "Why?"
The next moment, Xiao Cheng was speechless.
Xiao Taize stretched out his right hand and a burning fireball appeared above his palm.
"Because of this!"
Xiao Cheng opened his mouth and felt his throat was extremely dry. "You, you've awakened?"
He had the same opportunity as many children in his family.
But he wasn't the lucky one.
Xiao Cheng never dreamed that this lucky one would turn out to be the one he despised the most, Xiao Taize!
At this moment, he completely understood.
Why was Xiao Taize sitting in his seat?
Because the other party was no longer a person from the same world as him!
Esper!!
Xiao Taize pressed the remote control again and the screen froze at the moment when Xiao Cheng's spirit collapsed.
His wet pants were particularly obvious!
"You're looking for Zhenren Xuanyuan to find the person who killed Xiao Zhen?"
Xiao Taize extinguished the fireball and said with a smile, "If this person really exists, then I'll give him a ton of medals to praise him for doing a good job."
The young man who was called the shame of the Xiao family smiled very happily.
But deep in his eyes, there was hatred and hatred.
"You and Xiao Zhen both deserve to die!"
