Shangguan Tong's eyes landed on the white jade on Huo Yao's fingertip. She paused for a moment before she said, "That's right, but yours is fake."
She could tell it was fake right away.
Huo Yao pondered before she slowly put the necklace back under her collar. "So did you give the Lu family the jade back then?"
"Yes. Your master took it himself." Shangguan Tong did not hide the truth. "But there was an accident. Luckily, your master found you in the end."
She was not too sure about the complicated details, so she chose not to mention it to Huo Yao.
She did not dare to mention Huo Yao's master as she was afraid that Huo Yao would be upset.
Huo Yao lowered her lashes and did not reveal any emotions on her face. She merely said softly, "I would rather he hadn't come out back then."
Shangguan Tong opened her mouth before she placed her hand on the young lady's shoulder. Her voice was a little hoarse. "This is the fate of the Shangguans. He must be very happy that he was able to protect you."
Huo Yao clenched her fists. There was no warmth in her eyes at all. "I don't believe in fate."
"Ahem..." Shangguan Tong could not help coughing all of a sudden. Her lips turned red. She raised her hand to wipe it gently so that Huo Yao would not see it.
After she stopped coughing, she changed the topic. "Oh yes. Is the guy who drove me home last night your boyfriend?"
"Uh huh." Huo Yao nodded. Her face looked much gentler.
Shangguan Tong had spoken to Min Yu when she left the first base last night. "He looks like a nice kid."
"He is." Huo Yao smiled.
Shangguan Tong shook her head. She did not expose Huo Yao's pretentious nature. She raised her hand and pressed the elevator button. "There's a lot of competition in the family. Take care of yourself."
Although she warned Huo Yao, she was actually not too worried about it.
Huo Yao nodded. "Okay. Auntie Tong, no, Aunt Tong, you take care too."
Shangguan Tong went speechless. "..."
The elevator dinged. They had arrived at the first floor.
The door opened and Huo Yao stepped in. She turned around and pressed the button for the first floor. Then she raised her head and waved at Shangguan Tong. "You can go back now. I'm afraid Uncle must be worried."
Shangguan Tong: "...?"
Suddenly, he felt that he had lost all his face.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Huo Yao's smile faded away.
She had more or less guessed Aunt Tong's purpose for coming out this time.
Huo Yao raised her head. Her eyes followed the rising numbers as thoughts flashed through her mind.
The present life is very good, she does not want to be broken.
The elevator descended to the first floor.
Huo Yao took out her phone and logged into her Cloud Realm account as she walked out. She found an admin account and sent two messages to the other party.

Meanwhile, Huo Wanying drove back to the Huo Manor after the warden from Shangyi Town came to see her.
When she returned to the villa, Huo Wanying's mother, Merris, had an appointment with someone and was about to go out. Seeing that Huo Wanying had returned, Merris seemed to have a lot on her mind, so she didn't leave immediately.
"What's wrong, Wanying? Did something happen?"
Merris asked the servant to pour a glass of water for Huo Wanying.
Huo Wanying glanced at her. "Nothing."
Merris knew that they were going to draw missions from the Union today. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Is the mission very difficult?"
