Chapter 10: The Jade Pendant
Ling Xuemei knew a little about Huayitang, so she felt relieved.
“Mom, I still have some use for that money, so I won’t give it to you for now.”
“Okay.” Ling Xuemei didn’t object. She trusted her daughter and knew she was a sensible child.
She reached into her pocket and took out the jade pendant, handing it to Ling Yao, “Yaoyao, this jade pendant was left to you by your dad. Wear it around your neck.”
Ling Yao was stunned when she saw the jade pendant. She had seen this jade pendant on Zhou Yu in her previous life.
At that time, Zhou Yu told her that the jade pendant was left to her by her father, and that her father wasn’t dead, but was always thinking about them.
Thinking about what Zhou Yu had said to her in the end, Ling Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a chilling coldness.
That jade pendant was taken from her mother by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu must have known the secret of the jade pendant, which is why she killed her mother.
Taking the jade pendant, Ling Yao hung it around her neck. This time, Zhou Yu wouldn’t be able to take the jade pendant from her, and she wouldn’t be able to pretend to be her to claim her family.
She had never met the father Zhou Yu spoke of, but she had heard that Zhou Yu’s father and her several brothers doted on her. They would give her anything she wanted.
At the same time, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a sense of unease, as if something important had been lost. Could it be the jade pendant?
Thinking about this possibility, Zhou Yu couldn’t care less about her injured foot. She anxiously ran towards the door. That jade pendant was hers, no one could take it away. If she didn’t have that jade pendant, how could she claim her family this time?
In her previous life, after Ling Yao went to prison, she pretended to be kind and took care of Ling Xuemei.
Once, she saw Ling Xuemei holding a jade pendant and asked her about it. Ling Xuemei said that the jade pendant was left by Ling Yao’s father.
She deliberately asked about Ling Yao’s father’s name, saying that she had a friend in Beijing who could help Ling Xuemei find out if she could find him.
At that time, Ling Xuemei believed her and told her Ling Yao’s father’s name. After learning his name, she asked Gu Qingan to help her inquire. Unexpectedly, the result was better than she had imagined.
After learning this news, she poisoned Ling Xuemei, took the jade pendant to Beijing, and claimed her father. From then on, she lived a life of luxury.
This time, she would also get that jade pendant and go to Beijing to claim her family, just like in her previous life. As for Ling Xuemei and Ling Yao, they were only fit to be her stepping stones.
Gu Qingan heard the noise and walked out of the house. Seeing Zhou Yu limping out of the house, he asked, “Miss Zhou, where are you going so late?”
“My waist is a little sore from lying down. I want to go outside for some fresh air.” Zhou Yu couldn’t wait to fly to Ling Yao’s house and snatch the jade pendant.
Gu Qingan looked at Zhou Yu’s foot, “Why don’t I accompany you?” After spending these two days with her, he had a good impression of her and had developed a slight liking for her.
Zhou Yu shook her head shyly, “No need to trouble you. I’ll just walk around nearby.”
“No, your foot injury hasn’t healed yet, and it’s dark outside. What if you fall again? Let me accompany you.” Gu Qingan insisted.
Zhou Yu thought for a moment and didn’t refuse anymore, “I want to go to the clinic to change the medicine.”
Gu Qingan stepped forward and reached out to support Zhou Yu, “Let’s go, I’ll help you.”
Zhou Yu blushed and handed her hand to Gu Qingan, “Then I’ll trouble Brother Gu.”
“No, no trouble.” Gu Qingan reached out to support Zhou Yu, his heartbeat also went out of rhythm. Zhou Yu was the first girl who was so close to him. He had even hugged her. He had to be responsible for her.
He cleared his throat and said, “Miss Zhou, do you have a boyfriend?”
Zhou Yu looked at Gu Qingan in confusion and shook her head, “No.” She really had charm. After only two days, Gu Qingan was already attracted to her.
“I… I want to… develop revolutionary friendship with you.” Gu Qingan’s ears turned completely red, and he stuttered nervously.
Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, then shyly nodded, “Okay.” Gu Qingan would be a military commander in the future, so she had to hold on to this big leg tightly.
Although Gu Qingan’s rise to the rank of commander was inseparable from Ling Yao’s father’s connections, it also depended on Gu Qingan’s own ability. Otherwise, even if others were willing to help him, it would be in vain if he didn’t have the ability.
Of course, there was another reason. Gu Qingan was Ling Yao’s fiancĂ© before. Anything that belonged to Ling Yao, whether it was objects or people, she had to take. She wanted to make Ling Yao suffer, despair, and be miserable, just like in her previous life.
In her previous life, after being injected by Ling Yao, she contracted a disease and died not long after. Thankfully, she could come back again. This time, she would still be the one laughing in the end.
“You agreed.” Gu Qingan was overjoyed.
“Yes.”
“Great, hahaha… I’ll carry you to the clinic.” Gu Qingan reached out and picked up Zhou Yu, quickly running towards the clinic.
Ling Yao was about to close the door when she saw Gu Qingan carrying Zhou Yu walking over. Her eyes instantly turned cold. What a pair of scumbags, they were already hooking up so quickly.
Gu Qingan carried Zhou Yu into the house and carefully placed her on a chair, “Ling Yao, go call Aunt Ling to come and change the medicine for Xiaoyu.”
“My mom is asleep. Come back tomorrow.” Ling Yao found the sight of the two of them increasingly irritating.
“Ling Yao, I know you have a grudge against me, but Xiaoyu is innocent. Don’t target her. Our business has nothing to do with her.”
“Are you really going to change her medicine now?” Ling Yao’s gaze fell coldly on Gu Qingan’s face. In her previous life, she might have had a little affection for him, but in this life, she only had a deep hatred for him.
“Of course.”
“Okay, I’ll change it for her.” Ling Yao turned and went to the medicine cabinet to get gauze and medicine.
“Ling Yao, are you deliberately being unreasonable? Are you a doctor? What right do you have to change Xiaoyu’s medicine?”
“I took the exam when I was eighteen. Do you think I’m a doctor?” Ling Yao placed the medicine and gauze on the table, her icy gaze meeting Gu Qingan’s, “If you don’t want to change the medicine, you can leave.”
After graduating from high school, she was supposed to go to university. Gu Qingan’s mother told her that a girl didn’t need to read too many books, she just needed to marry a good man. Their Gu Qingan didn’t need a wife who knew how to read.
At that time, she was infatuated with Gu Qingan, so she listened to her mother and didn’t go to university. No matter how much her mother persuaded her, she wouldn’t listen.
After that, she stayed at the clinic and helped her mother treat the villagers. At that time, for convenience, she took a “Rural Doctor’s License.” However, the “Rural Doctor’s License” could only be used to be a village doctor, treating minor illnesses for people. It wasn’t recognized by large hospitals.
She was truly foolish in her previous life.
Gu Qingan was speechless. He had heard from his mother about Ling Yao not going to university.
His mother said that if Ling Yao went to university, she would overshadow him, and it would be difficult to manage her later. At that time, he thought it made sense and agreed.
