There weren't many people in the dessert shop next to the school.
Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng were the only two people sitting in the empty shop.
"This is for you."
Zhai Yunsheng suddenly took out a small pendant. He casually threw it in front of Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling looked at the pendant.
There was a transparent jade pendant hanging from a thin black string.
The jade pendant itself wasn't big. It was the size of Zhai Yunsheng's thumbnail.
It was a little bigger than Jian Yiling's thumbnail.
There were many ancient characters engraved on the surface of the jade pendant.
It was a jade pendant that looked very elegant and simple.
Jian Yiling didn't pick it up immediately. Instead, she looked at Zhai Yunsheng with a puzzled expression.
It wasn't a holiday or a birthday. Why was he giving her a gift?
Zhai Yunsheng casually explained: "It's a greeting gift. We haven't seen each other for three years. Since we've met again, I wanted to give you a gift to express my gratitude."
Jian Yiling still didn't pick it up.
Zhai Yunsheng lazily leaned back in his chair: "It's not something valuable. It's just a gift from me. You have to wear it properly. Just treat it as a punishment for breaking your promise."
Punishment?
He had never heard of the punishment being to give someone a jade pendant to wear.
The jade pendant didn't seem to be a precious or rare item. At least, it wasn't to Zhai Yunsheng.
However, it was still a gift.
"It's not a punishment," Jian Yiling retorted.
"It's a punishment," Zhai Yunsheng replied.
It was Zhai Yunsheng's first time coaxing a young girl. As a result, he wasn't very experienced.
As such, he could only order Jian Yiling to accept it since she was in the wrong.
Needless to say, this was very useful to Jian Yiling.
She obediently picked up the seemingly ordinary jade pendant on the table and wore it around her neck.
The small jade pendant hung on Jian Yiling's slender and white neck. It wasn't dazzling or gorgeous. However, it seemed to be very suitable.
Zhai Yunsheng looked at it with satisfaction.
###
The Zhai family.
In the past two years, Master Zhai could finally cultivate his character.
This was because his eldest grandson was finally willing to take over the Zhai family business.
Of course, this wasn't enough to make him happy.
For Master Zhai, taking over the family business was secondary. He wanted to marry a granddaughter-in-law so that he could have a great-grandson.
One of Master Zhai's powerful subordinates came to report the latest situation to him.
In the end, a subordinate said: "Master, someone reported that they saw someone wearing Madam Zhai's jade pendant in the capital."
"What are you talking about? Did you make a mistake? How many years has it been since someone wore Madam Zhai's jade pendant?"
Master Zhai's wife had passed away a long time ago. She left him and his two sons behind.
Not long after the eldest son got married, his wife died, leaving behind a grandson who was crying piteously for food.
When his only grandson grew up, he refused to get married no matter what.
As for his second son, he was still unmarried.
There were only three bachelors in the Zhai family. How could there be a matriarch?
Who knew how many years it had been since anyone had seen that pendant!
"It's said that the person wearing the Morning Frost Jade Pendant is the girl who used to compete with Young Master."
As it was someone that Zhai Yunsheng knew, the people below paid special attention to the jade pendant.
"What did you say?" Master Zhai asked. The antique teapot that he was playing with fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Master Zhai didn't even look at the teapot. Instead, he asked his subordinate: "Are you saying that the girl that you saw wearing Madam Zhai's jade pendant is the girl from the Jian family?"
