The Origin of the Jade Pendant 1

Tong Lu clutched the blanket tightly, and she refused to face the truth. She moaned and arduously squirmed around. Her body was sticky. She threw herself into the bathtub in the bathroom. She felt as if she was born again as she soaked herself in the warm water, and she felt so good that she did not even feel like moving her toes.

Tong Lu raised her thighs to take a look at the wounds on them. Earlier, to fight against the aphrodisiac, she had no choice but to hurt herself by sinking her nails into her flesh. Her thighs must look very grotesque right now.

But wait. There was not a single wound on her thighs. They were as fair and soft as ever. What was going on?

She then took a look at the skin all over her body. It was so smooth that it was as if she had just gone for a spa session. Even her face was so soft that none of her pores were visible.

Her body was heaty as she had eaten some durians a few days ago, and there was a large pimple on her forehead. Before she went out in the evening, she had applied a lot of concealer to hide the pimple. But now, not only had the pimple disappeared, but it did not leave a single mark.

Could it be that aphrodisiacs also functioned to beautify the person who was drugged?

Tong Lu gazed at her reflection as she stood before the mirror. Was her skin not a little too smooth right now? She could not help but grin. If this continued, she might even fall in love with herself. Was it because she had just showered, or was it because of the aphrodisiac?

The presidential suite came with a parlor. Leng Yejin walked out of the master bedroom and went straight to the parlor. The person waiting for him at the parlor gasped the moment he entered.

“Oh my God, big brother, I need to interview you. How does it feel like when two women fight for you?”

It was Long Yan, Leng Yejin’s cousin.

Leng Yejin furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you trying to die?”

He was only wearing a nightgown, and he looked forbiddenly charming at the moment. He looked clean and tidy, and he did not seem like he just had passionate sex at all. However, there was a scratch mark underneath his collar, and it was visible every now and then as he moved underneath the light. He did not seem to mind, plopping down onto the couch, crossing his legs and resting his hands on his sides.

“Don’t be so petty. I’ll ask you another question, then. How does it feel to sell your own jade pendant only to end up buying it back? Not only have you lost the jade pendant that is a token of affection between you and who you were supposed to marry, but you have also lost one-hundred million RMB. On a scale of one to ten, how dejected are you right now?”

Leng Yejin recalled how much Tong Lu treasured the jade pendant and the way she was clutching it tightly. The answer was evident on his face. “What do you think?”

“Are you serious, big brother? Since when were you into hitting on your older brother’s widow?”

Long Yan dashed toward Leng Yejin, exaggerating every movement. He tried to lift Leng Yejin’s nightgown to look for proof. Leng Yejin raised his leg and gave Long Yan a kick. “Ye Mei, drag him away and beat him to death!”

“Okay.”

The woman standing before the floor to ceiling window immediately strode toward Long Yan after receiving the order. She was the adoptive daughter of Leng Yejin’s third maternal-uncle. She was a tall and slender woman, and her beauty was out of this world. She had a perfect S-shaped figure and healthy, tanned skin. She always wore a solemn expression, and even though she never showed off her beauty, she was dangerously alluring.

Long Yan jumped around to avoid Ye Mei. He was indignant. “Big Sister Ye Mei, don’t do this. Aren’t all of you curious?”

“Big brother had told us that the jade pendant is related to a baby girl who was betrothed to him since birth. The jade pendant comes in a pair, but the unlucky baby girl passed away soon after she was born. This was why I asked big brother for the jade pendant to give it to the woman I like to sell it during her charity auction. It’s a show of support, you know. I was thinking that the jade pendant would serve a good purpose if it ended up being sold at a high price in the name of charity. But look at what big brother did. He bought the jade pendant that used to belong to him anyway and gave it to his sister-in-law. We must get to the bottom of this matter!”

Ye Mei arched an eyebrow. “Don’t you think that big brother has shown great support for her charity auction? Is one-hundred million RMB not enough?”

“It’s not about the money. If it was big brother’s intention to give the jade pendant to someone, don’t you think that he should’ve given it to Xu Jing instead? After all, Elder Leng selected her out of so many women to become big brother’s wife.”
