No matter how much Mu Lian thought about it, she never imagined that Mu Qian would come back and ask for the jade pendant.
After snatching it from Mu Qian when she was five years old, she threw it in the box.
Last night she rummaged through the cabinets and found it, carefully wiped it clean and protected it.
She knew how important that jade pendant was.
Last time, Mu Qian never mentioned the jade pendant, or maybe there was no time to retrieve it.
"Stop talking nonsense! When will it be your turn to ask for something from us!" Tian Yue's eyes were filled with hatred.
It was her escape in the operating room that prevented Lian Lian's surgery, and even caused Mu Qing to break her leg.
Don't let her go no matter what.
"No?" Mu Qian looked at Mu Lian.
Mu Lian gripped the hem of her skirt with all her strength, the lines of the lace rubbed against her palms, and she tried to calm down her emotions.
"I remember something like this, but it's been so long, more than ten years, and I can't remember where I put it. Maybe I lost it."
This jade pendant cannot be given to her so easily, absolutely not.
"You came back to find a jade pendant. The Mu family has raised you for so many years and it's not worth your worthless jade pendant?" Mu Qing said coldly.
Su Xingman glanced at his leg that was in plaster. She couldn't shut up because the leg was lame.
"Whether it's valuable or not is another matter, but after all, it's mine. No matter how valuable it is, it's still mine and it should be taken back." Mu Qian said this in a soft tone, even with a smile.
But to Mu Lian's ears, that's not the case.
Mu Lian's expression remained the same, and she spoke generously, "Then wait, I'll go up and look for you."
Mu Qian is very free now, and the most important thing is time, but she is waiting without any panic at all.
"Mu Qian, do you need to give me an explanation for what happened last night?" Mu Tan looked at the girl opposite.
She brought people in so aggressively, and when she spoke, she was no longer the submissive little girl she used to be.
Coupled with what happened last night, Mutan also understood a lot.
Either her personality changed drastically after this, or she had been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger for so many years, hiding deep and waiting until the last moment to give them this fatal blow.
"What explanation?" Mu Qian glanced at Mu Qing's legs, but did not say the next words.
"I want to know who is supporting you behind you and allowing you to dare to do this in such a short period of time." Mutan looked at Su Xingman as he spoke.
Su Xingman was speechless. If she could become Mu Qian's supporter, she wouldn't have let the Mu family bully her for so many years.
Besides, she didn't break Mu Qing's leg, so why were you staring at her?
"Do you think that if you climb into the Su family, someone will be able to protect you?" Mutan sneered.
Regarding such a question, Mu Qian had already thought about it before coming. The Mu family has always been ruthless in doing things, otherwise they wouldn't have been like that before.
Now Mutan is not so extreme towards her, firstly because of her kidneys, and secondly because what happened last night also alerted the Mu family.
Thirdly, these bodyguards that Su Xingman spent a lot of money to hire are not useless.
"The incompetent look for someone to rely on, and the weak look for someone to protect them. Mr. Mu has this idea in his heart. I can also understand why the Mu family's business has been declining over the years."
How much better can a family business develop without relying on one's own efforts and just thinking about finding backers.
"You!" Mutan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Su Xingman couldn't help laughing when she heard Mu Qian's words. She had never found Qian Qian to be so articulate before.
"Let me borrow the bathroom." Mu Qian said as she got up and went to the bathroom.
Mu Lian has been in poor health since she was a child. In order to facilitate the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, her room was located on the first floor.
All the furnishings in the room are of the best quality. The Mu family loves their daughter very much and will give her whatever she wants.
The price of just one painting hanging in the room is over a million, not to mention the various accessories placed in the huge cloakroom.
Mu Lian was sitting in front of the dressing table, holding in her hand the jade pendant she carefully dug out last night.
This jade pendant was worn by Mu Qian and belonged to her deceased mother. Of course she knew how important this thing was.
It is absolutely impossible to return it to her now.
With this thought in mind, Mu Lian hid the jade pendant in the bottom of the drawer.
"Haven't you found it yet?"
The sudden sound in the room startled her, and Mu Lian almost jumped up from her chair.
Looking back, he saw Mu Qian standing at the door of the room at some point.
"You...why did you come in?" A trace of panic flashed in Mu Lian's eyes.
Mu Qian was not polite and walked step by step in front of Mu Lian, "I thought it would be slow for you to find so many things, so I came in to help you. It's been so long, and you probably can't remember the pattern of the jade pendant. Please help."
You recall memories."
Mu Lian suppressed her uneasiness and spread out the four or five jade pendants on the table.
"You're right. It's been too long and I really can't recognize which piece is yours. Come and have a look."
Mu Qian glanced at it. Because it was the only thing she owned, the pattern of the jade pendant was particularly clear in Mu Qian's memory.
Just glancing at the things on the table, the smile in Mu Qian's eyes deepened.
"None of these."
Mu Lian bit her lip and bowed her head, "I'm really sorry. My family has bought me many jade pendants of various sizes over the years, and I have broken and lost a lot of them. Maybe they have been broken and thrown away.
"How about this? You can just pick out whichever piece you like, and I'll give them all to you." Mu Lian followed up and said.
How could Mu Qian not see such a trick?
"Don't you feel the least bit guilty about something that others value being destroyed like this?"
Mu Qian said as she reached out and gently hooked the drawer of the dressing table. Seeing this, Mu Lian hurriedly held her hand and pushed it in.
"Whatever you want to do, I told you and already lost it!"
Mu Qian chuckled and pulled her hand out hard. Mu Lian couldn't stop it and watched helplessly as she took out the jade pendant hidden at the bottom of the drawer.
"Don't feel guilty when you lie to others in the future. Your eyes will tell everyone that you are lying to others." Mu Qian said to her while hanging the jade pendant in her hand.
Mu Lian was unwilling to give in, but still wanted to struggle once, "That's not yours, that's my jade pendant."
"Really? Where did you buy it? Where is the invoice? What kind of jade is it? Where is the certificate?"
Mu Qian's questions made Mu Lian at a loss. She didn't expect that Mu Qian would come back to look for this jade pendant today.
With this question, she suddenly looked at Mu Qian, as if she was confirming something.
"Why did you suddenly think of finding this jade pendant?"
Could it be that Mu Qian noticed something?
"Do I need any reason to get my things back?"
After Mu Qian said this, she turned around and as soon as she left the door, she heard the sound of something falling from inside the room.
When Mu Lian gets angry, she will smash things. This has never changed.
The unexpected situation made Mu Lian quickly sort out the information in her mind, and let the jade pendant be taken away.
Now there is still a week before the Yun family arrives, and she must finish the remaining things.
What I got from Mu Qian last time is absolutely essential.
