The night was not peaceful at all. It was unknown how many people were going to lose sleep.
After Tang Youyou left the study room, she searched the room again. She even laid on the bed and carefully searched under the bed.
Unfortunately, he still could not find it. That jade pendant seemed to have disappeared from the world. Could it really have been stolen by that servant?
Ji Family had always been strict with servants, so how could they recruit people with unclean hands and feet?
Tang Youyou was extremely bitter. When she heard the old lady say that she had an impression of that jade pendant, Tang Youyou held on to a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, what should they do now?
Even if she described it verbally, she might not be able to let the old lady know.
Just when Tang Youyou was at a loss for words, she suddenly thought of something and rushed over, taking out her phone.
After looking through the picture, she suddenly saw the picture and her face lit up.
Oh right, she almost forgot that her phone had a photo of the jade pendant. She could show it to the old lady tomorrow.
Morning!
Ji Xiaohan suddenly felt that this night seemed to be very short. Before he had slept, the sky had already brightened.
He rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. That night, he lay by his son"s side, unable to fall asleep. Even if he fell asleep, he kept having nightmares. In the dream, Tang Youyou was crying, along with his two children.
Therefore, Ji Xiaohan had woken up at around 6: 00. He had been staring at his daughter"s sweet sleeping face. She was really like a little pig, fair and tender, extremely cute!
He reached out and gently hugged his daughter in his arms. Only then did Ji Xiaohan feel less desolate.
The little guy seemed to enjoy sleeping in his embrace as well. He mumbled in a daze, "Daddy!"
Ji Xiaohan couldn"t help but smile as he comforted her gently, "Xiaonai, sleep a little longer."
"En!" The little fellow contentedly rubbed the palm of his hand for a while, before hugging one of his arms and continuing her sleep.
When winter came, the seasons would change, and even the weather would change with it.
Dark clouds covered the sun, enveloping the entire city in a gloomy atmosphere.
Tang Youyou woke up early because she knew that the old lady would come early as well.
However, when she pushed open the door, Ji Xiaohan was leaning against the corridor. He hadn"t changed his clothes, he was still wearing his gray robe, and there was a cigarette in his hand. He didn"t seem to be in a good mood.
When he saw Tang Youyou, he locked his dark gaze on her and continued to puff on the cigarette.
Seeing him so preoccupied, Tang Youyou immediately walked over and asked with concern, "Why are you up so early? And smoking, what"s the matter? Is there something wrong? "
"You"re up so early as well. What"s the matter?" Ji Xiaohan did not expect Tang Youyou to arrive earlier than usual. His eyes darkened slightly.
Tang Youyou smiled faintly. "I can"t fall asleep, but I think something must have happened to you. Is there a problem with your job?"
Ji Xiaohan shook his head, "No, Youyou, I want to talk to you!"
Tang Youyou was a little taken aback by his words.
Just as he was about to answer, he heard the old lady"s voice on the stairs, "Youyou, is that you? Are you up? "
Tang Youyou seemed to be happy to see the old lady. She said to Ji Xiaohan, "Let"s talk about our matters later. I have more important matters to discuss with your grandma."
"Youyou ??" Ji Xiaohan"s mind jolted and immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Tang Youyou turned around and looked at him in surprise. Then, she smiled and said, "Alright, wait for me for a moment. I"ll be right over!"
Ji Xiaohan looked at her comforting smile and full of worry, but he didn"t know how to start. He could only watch in despair as she gently shook off his big palm and quickly walked down the stairs.
Downstairs, the old lady was wearing a pair of gold-threaded reading gla.s.ses and was in high spirits as she stood. When she saw Tang Youyou, she immediately revealed a smile, "Youyou, I want to see your jade pendant from last time, is it okay? Because, this might be the work of an old friend of mine. "
"Really?" Tang Youyou didn"t see the other hidden meaning behind the old lady"s eyes. She only thought that the old lady really wanted to help her find her biological parents.
"Yes, is your jade pendant still there?" the old lady asked tentatively.
Actually, the old lady was worried that Tang Youyou would find out something, so she hid the jade pendant to prevent her from seeing it.
In that case, it meant that Tang Youyou wasn"t as i
ocent as she appeared.
"I"m sorry grandma, that jade pendant is missing. I don"t know where it went, but Uncle Yun suspects that it was taken away by a servant who resigned from his job.
The old lady immediately understood. "Oh, why did the servant only take your jade pendant? If she really opens your drawer, then there are a lot of valuable things inside. Just randomly taking out any of the jewelry Xiaohan gave you would be worth a lot more than your ancient knowledge jade pendant. "
Tang Youyou smiled bitterly, "That"s right, that"s what I thought too. But Uncle Yun said that the servant is a bit old, and might not have seen much of the world, and only feel that the gold and jade are worth a lot ??"
Ji Family to recruit servants is very harsh, furthermore, the servants on duty are all trained, as for those kind of servants that have never seen the world, how could they enter our Ji Family? The old lady instantly realized that this was an excuse that Tang Youyou had come up with to lower her evaluation towards her.
Tang Youyou was momentarily speechless.
"Grandmother, you don"t have to find that jade pendant do you? I also have a photo on my phone. I took both photos. If you want to see, you can look at them too." Tang Youyou felt like her old lady suspected that she had intentionally lost her jade pendant, so she had to reveal the fact that her phone had a photo on it.
He hoped to dispel the old lady"s suspicions.
But, it was so strange, she was the one who lost the jade pendant. She was already sad enough, why did the old lady still blame her in such a way?
The old lady"s eyes glazed over for a moment, and then her opinion of Tang Youyou disappeared in a flash.
If Tang Youyou didn"t intentionally hide the jade pendant from her, then it proved that she really lost it.
Tang Youyou took out her cell phone, flipped through the photo and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady stared at her face and took her cell phone.
When she saw the two clear photos, she was extremely shocked, as if she couldn"t believe it. She even intentionally pushed the reading gla.s.ses on the bridge of her nose to get a better look at the fine lines.
Her old body seemed unsteady. She raised her head and stared into Tang Youyou"s eyes with a complicated expression.
However, Tang Youyou asked her expectantly, "Grandmother, have you really seen this piece of jade before?"
