Passionate Devotion

The Origin of the Jade Pendant 2

“Now, his sister-in-law suddenly appeared out of nowhere and fought to the death with Xu Jing for the jade pendant. Could it be that she knows that the jade pendant belongs to big brother, and she had been vying for her brother-in-law ever since her husband passed away? But this shouldn’t be the case, as all the items in the auction were donated anonymously…

“The strangest occurence out of everything is that big brother actually spent one-hundred million RMB to buy the jade pendant and gave it to his sister-in-law. The jade pendant is a token of affection between him and the baby girl he was supposed to marry. So, even though the baby girl had died, shouldn’t he give the jade pendant to his future wife?”

Long Yan did not seem diffident at all as he circled Leng Yejin. He suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had just gotten an epiphany. “Oh… I understand now. Don’t tell me that the two of you have been having an affair behind everyone’s backs. Big brother, could it be that the woman in the master bedroom is…”

Before Long Yan could finish speaking, Leng Yejin gestured at Ye Mei with his hands. “Drag him out and beat him up. After that, drag him back in!”

Long Yan screamed as Ye Mei dragged him out. Ye Mei could not stand how stupid Long Yan was. There was a drought in the southern part of the country, and Leng Yejin would have donated one-hundred million RMB no matter what. He was never a stingy person.

Leng Yejin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the ceiling. Even he found it strange that the jade pendant did not end up with his supposed future wife.

He had no idea why Tong Lu wanted the jade pendant. Could it be that the jade pendant was meant to be hers?

Beside him, Leng Yerong who had stayed silent throughout the whole debacle passed a tablet computer to him. Out of all of Leng Yejin’s cousins in the Leng family, Leng Yerong was the closest to him. Leng Yejin’s father was the oldest son of the family, while Leng Yerong’s father was the fourth son of the family. Leng Yerong was an elegant man with a noble-like aura. He obviously belonged to high society.

“At the moment, I am unable to find out where the former president is keeping the funds he embezzled. But I am sure that it is a large sum. Whether we want to give him the death penalty, a life sentence or a pardon, the country’s people would have to agree to it. Since our second uncle is facing this predicament right after he assumed power, it might be troublesome for him to deal with it.”

“It is troublesome for him indeed. Hence, we should deal with it on behalf of him. Continue investigating the matter and also pressure the congress.” Leng Yejin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the information on the screen of the tablet computer. “Our second uncle has just assumed power, and if he’s not careful in dealing with this matter, the country’s people will be angry at him. We’ll make sure that he’s well-loved by the people and do so by dealing with these troublesome matters on behalf of him.”

He then added, “Has the date for the business meeting with other consortiums been decided yet?”

“Yes, but…,” Leng Yerong said hesitantly.

“What is the matter?”

“It will be on the night of the full moon.”

Leng Yejin furrowed his eyebrows. This is such a coincidence. How could he show up on the night of the full moon?

“Make up an excuse to change the date of the meeting. Also, ask Ji Yiming to come over. I have something that I want to ask him.”

He was about to apply medication on the wounds on Tong Lu’s thighs just now when he realized that the wounds had disappeared. Could it be that he also had the ability to heal other people’s wounds by having sex with them? As this was the first time something like this had happened, Leng Yejin did not know what was going on.

He returned to the master bedroom and realized that the room was empty. Tong Lu was nowhere to be seen. Had that woman fled?

Should he take this opportunity to prepare a divorce agreement to cut ties with her?

But she had been taking care of Shanshan for four years, and it did not seem like a morale thing to do to get rid of her just like this.

…..

Tong Lu stealthily left the hotel like a thief, and her heart was still beating rapidly after she entered the cab. There was no helping it. She really did not know how to face her brother-in-law. She had no other choice. She must take Shanshan with her and leave the Leng family. This way, she could pretend that nothing had happened by never meeting Leng Yejin again.

She quickly came to a decision. But things did not seem as simple as she had thought. She realized that Shanshan was not in the guest room that she had been staying in.
