Chapter 970
Ann nodded, took the miter knife, and la-ho-ho-ho unpacked the front box several times at once.
Girls sure do have a thing for things like gift boxes.
On a normal day, even the most gentle and feminine girl can be transformed into an invincible scissor-arm, fast and accurate, when opening presents.
Ann finished unwrapping her presents and was finally satisfied.
Jenny stayed with her again, teaching her how to return her gifts to their proper place before leading her out of the treasury.
“Mommy, I’m done opening presents, so you can go to work without me.”
Jenny nodded and took a glance at the time, it was only 10:30 am, not too late.
She said a few words to Ann and was about to leave, when suddenly there was a ding and a piece of white stuff fell on the floor.
Ann exclaimed, “Yah, my jade pendant!”
When Jenny Jing turned back, she saw her picking up a jade pendant from the ground, and even leaned over to take a look.
Only to see that Hernandez was the piece that Lu Lanzhi had given her.
Last night, Jenny didn’t take a close look at the jade pendant, only a blurred glance through the light, and felt that it looked familiar, resembling a relic from his mother Mo Caiwei’s life.
But at that time, it was just a thought that crossed her mind, and she didn’t take it seriously.
After all, Mo Caiwei had died so many years ago, leaving nothing behind long ago, so how could there be a jade pendant belonging to her in Lu Lanzhi’s possession?
So, at the time, she just thought about it and revealed it.
But now, when seeing this jade pendant again and looking at the clear and bright lotus patterns on it, only then did I shudder.
That familiar feeling grew stronger and she couldn’t help but reach out and take the jade pendant in Ann’s hand.
“Mummy, what’s wrong?”
Ann was stunned and a little puzzled.
Jenny, however, did not answer, she carefully stroked the texture on the top of the jade pendant, turning it over and over, looking at it carefully for a long time, and finally, she used the sunlight coming in through the doorway to make out a small Chinese character in the very centre of the lotus flower.
The only thing I saw was the word ink.
She was not shaken hard!
How is this, how is this possible?
Outsiders may not know, but Jenny knows very well that back then, the Mo family was the number one family in Jin City, her grandfather, Master Mo, was a very powerful man in Jin City, and as Master Mo’s only daughter, Mo Caiwei naturally grew up with beautiful clothes and jade.
Because he wanted his daughter to be unique, Mo Laozi cultivated her various talents and hobbies since she was a child.
And the so-called marker is really quite simple, just a little ink inscribed on it.
It is engraved on everything from the smallest dish, to the book and pen, to the jewellery, clothing, and carriage.
Jenny Jing had thought that he might never see this word again in his life, but now he had seen it on a small piece of jade pendant.
Her face was faintly white and her whole body was drowning in memories of the past.
Ann, however, was so frightened to see her standing there as if she were foolishly still, and so anxious that she was about to cry.
Tugging on her sleeve as she yelled, “Mommy, Mommy what’s wrong with you?You don’t scare Ann.”
A hot, hot tear dripped on the back of her hand.
Jenny was scalded and finally came back to his senses, lost in thought as he looked at Anh.
Cold on the face.
The water sloshed past her, and she reacted with hindsight to the fact that she had, at some point, cried.
Mostly because Ann saw her crying and the baby was scared.
Jenny Jing was busy wiping away her tears and squatted down to reassure her, “Mummy is fine, don’t worry An’an, Mummy just thought of something.”
Ann deflated, tears falling like beads with broken strings.
“Mummy, don’t be sad, you’re sad Ann will be sad too, Mummy doesn’t cry oh.”
I said, taking the soft little hand and wiping her tears.
Jenny’s nose was sore, tears even heavier.
She managed to smile, “Well, Mommy doesn’t cry or feel sad, and we don’t cry for Ann, Ann is the prettiest girl in the world, and pretty girls don’t cry.”
Ann nodded.
Jenny Jing looked at the jade pendant on his hand and sighed.
Ann asked, “Mommy, are you crying because of this jade pendant?”
Jenny nodded, “Yeah, it reminds me of my mother, your grandmother, do you see, there’s a little ink character on it.”
She said, leading Ann to stand in the sunlight as well, turning the jade pendant over to show her.
Ann exclaimed in amazement, “There really is!”
Jenny Jing smiled, “This is the unique markings on the things your grandmother used, I always thought that there should no longer be anything of hers in this world, but now I realize that there is.”
Ann blinked, a little puzzled, “But Grandma’s last name is obviously Ji, so why would she carve an ink character?”
Jenny choked.
It occurred to her that Ann didn’t know that she used to be switched and marooned in Visterdem growing up.
Ever since Ann was able to understand these complicated relationships, she and Ji Yunshu had already recognized each other and had already recognized her own mother Ji Wan, so in Ann’s eyes, her mother’s own grandmother was naturally Ji Wan.
Jenny laughed to herself and explained, “That’s your other grandmother, a woman who raised your mommy as a child and gave her a second life.”
Ann seemed to understand, but tried very hard to comprehend.
“I understand that it’s all Granny anyway, and since it’s Granny’s stuff, we must treasure it and never lose it again.”
Jenny laughed, “Yeah, so An’an has to put her things away, so she can’t lose them.”
Ann winced.
“But…but I lose things too easily…what if I lose it?”
She furrowed her showy brow and suddenly her eyes lit up.
“Hey, why don’t you put it away for me, Mommy?I haven’t met this grandmother yet, so keep it and bring it to me when you meet your grandmother someday, and I’ll take it with me to meet my grandmother, and then she’ll be happier, won’t she?”
Jenny was stunned, his heart suddenly sore.
She didn’t know how she was going to explain to Ann that she was never going to see her grandmother again.
Because Grandma had died many years earlier.
Jenny sniffed, barely smiling.
“Yes, Mommy will keep it for you, and you will put it on the next time you see your grandmother, and then she will like you even more when she sees you wearing her things.”
“Then it’s settled.”
Ann happily handed her the jade pendant and went back to her room to read happily.
Chapter 971
Jenny Jing stood there, holding the jade pendant in his hand, but his heart seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
She stood for a moment, half-heartedly, before taking a deep breath and walking out with the jade pendant in her hand.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Inside the estate behind the gambling quarry.
Early in the morning, Quexu noticed that Mo Caiwei was a bit distracted throughout today and had been rummaging through the house looking for something.
He frowned and asked curiously, “What are you looking for?”
“Suku, I’ve lost my jade pendant.”
Quexu’s face changed.
“Which piece of jade?”
“It’s the one I grew up with, the one with the lotus pattern.”
Quexu’s face became more and more ugly, and he was busy searching as well.
As you look for it, you are comforted, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you look for it together, you also think about where you last saw it, and when you remember I’ll go with you to find it.”
Mo Caiwei stopped moving and thought carefully.
But after thinking about it for a while, I still had no clue.
She shook her head, “I don’t know, this jade pendant was given to me by my father, I’ve worn it all these years and have never taken it off, so I’ve never paid any special attention to it, it’s like it’s become one with me, I don’t even notice it’s missing, and I don’t know when I last saw it.”
Quexu frowned at the words.
He thought about it and said in a deep voice, “Look in the house first, if there’s none in the house, it’s likely that it was dropped over there at the gambling venue two days ago.”
Hearing him say that, Mo Caiwei paled.
“If it did fall over there, then surely…”
There was no need to say the latter, they both knew it by heart, and thus, they didn’t look too good.
In fact, the jade pendant itself wasn’t worth much, otherwise Lu Lanzhi wouldn’t have casually taken it out and given it to Ann.
But this jade pendant meant so much to Mo Caiwei, it was built for her back when Master Mo was still alive, and decades had passed, and this was all that Master Mo had left her.
To others, it is just a piece of jade that is not very valuable, but to her, it is a souvenir, a memory.
They searched the house, however, rummaging through the entire house and found nothing.
In desperation, we had to go out together and search along the places we had visited in the past few days.
They had searched the entire manor as well, but they hadn’t found the jade either.
In the end, there was no choice but to find Boss Yu.
Boss Yu was a little surprised to hear about it.
“Lost the jade pendant?What kind of jade pendant is it?”
Mo Caiwei anxiously described, “It’s a lotus-shaped jade pendant that’s about three centimeters long and three to four millimeters thick, and where the lotus pistil is right in the centre of the jade pendant, there’s a small ink character engraved, which is easy to identify.”
Boss Yu frowned.
He pondered for a while, “This matter is not easy, after all, you don’t know now when the jade pendant was lost, it’s really no different from finding a needle in a haystack for such a small object.”
How could Mo Caiwei not know this?But that thing was so important to her.
She didn’t know how it would be lost.
Come to think of it, it could only have been the day at the gambling stone venue when it collided with LuLangi, and it could have been knocked off.
While this guess, too, sounds a bit unbelievable, it’s the only most likely guess.
After hearing that, Boss Yu said in a deep voice, “Let’s put it this way, don’t be anxious yet, if you really lost it inside the venue, that’s a good thing, at least the venue is monitored and can be found at any time, if it’s lost outside that’s the hard part.”
Quexu also nodded, “That’s what I thought, so I’m just afraid I’ll have to trouble you a bit to pull up the surveillance for us to see.”
Boss Yu nodded, “It’s not a big deal, you guys wait a moment, I’ll have someone transfer over right away.”
I said, pressing an inside line to make a call, and soon someone brought in the surveillance footage from the past few days.
Boss Yu took a computer to them and said, “You guys watch it first, I still have some things to take care of, after you guys watch it, let me know if you find any clues, as long as it’s lost in the venue, I’ll definitely help you find it.”
Both Quexu and Mo Caiwei nodded, grateful, “Thank you very much.”
Boss Yu got up and left, and they sat in the office, concentrating on it.
Surveillance video from their first visit to the gambling venue, until today’s, there are several days in between, such a large venue, all angles, no need to think about how much workload.
But both of them knew the significance of that jade pendant and must not let it fall into someone else’s hands.
As a result, they are all watched with extra careful attention.
From noon until night, finally, Mo Caiwei’s eyes lit up.
“I found it.”
Quexu was busy bringing his body together, “Where?”
Mo Caiwei pointed to a point on the screen and pressed pause, “Do you see it, right here.”
Quexu set his eyes on the screen and saw that it was exactly when Mo Caiwei came out of the office, at that time Lu Lanzhi just happened to come to the office to look for Boss Yu, and left after talking to Boss Yu.
Mo Caiwei and Quexiu just followed and left as well, just then, on her way out Mo Caiwei tripped over the threshold and almost fell down.
It was at this second that the jade pendant slipped off her body and fell to the ground.
They were both a little excited and a little nervous.
Excited to finally find a clue, the jade is hopefully recovered.
The tension is that there’s no telling who will pick it up, and if the person who finds it doesn’t want to return it, it’s just going to be another problem.
Quexu just tapped the play button and let the recording continue to play.
Only people were coming and going in the picture, but no one seemed to notice the small jade pendant on the ground.
After all, it’s a gambling venue, everyone’s eyes have long been attracted by those big and bright jade stones, who would keep staring at the ground?
Just then, however, a familiar figure crashed into their line of sight.
I saw that it was indeed Lu Lanzhi.
By then, Boss Yu just happened to be coming out of his office, and Lu Lanzhi, who was coming from the other direction, stood there and said something to Boss Yu, then turned around and walked away.
After a few steps, he suddenly took a step back, then crouched down to pick something up.
Mo Caiwei held her breath as Quexu pressed pause, zooming in to see what was in her hand.
It was the lotus jade pendant of Mo Caiwei.
“Is she?”
Quexu’s face was pale, and between his eyebrows was an unbearable disgust, “It’s this woman again!”
Mo Caiwei’s heart was also a little worried, “She’s the eldest miss of the Lu family, she shouldn’t be looking at such a small jade pendant.”
Chapter 972
“Since she’s the one who picked it up, let’s just find her and get it back, Suki, don’t start a conflict with her yet, maybe she was kind enough to pick it up and is waiting for us to claim it.”
Quexu’s face was a bit ugly, “I don’t think she’s that good-hearted, she’s probably interested in your stuff, otherwise if she really wanted the owner to claim it, she’d just give it to the boss here, so why take it away quietly?”
Mo Caiwei pursed her lips and sighed.
“Don’t say that, the Lu family is a powerful and influential noble family, Miss Lu shouldn’t do something like this, it’s really no big deal, we’ll just spend the money to buy the jade pendant back.”
When Quexu saw her say that, he didn’t say anything else.
A short time later, Boss Yu returned.
Once inside, he smiled cheerfully and said, “How’s it going?Did you find a clue?”
Mo Caiwei smiled slightly, “I’ve found it, but I just might have to bother Brother Yu to help us get in touch.”
Boss Yu’s eyebrows, a little surprised, “Yo, really found it?Who picked it up?”
Mo Caiwei was silent for a moment and opened her lips, “That’s the Miss Lu who came to talk business with you last time.”
When she said this, Boss Yu was in front of the water dispenser receiving water, and froze there at the sound of the action.
It wasn’t until the water was almost full that I reacted by turning it off and coming over with a glass.
“Lucian?Are you sure?”
Mo Caiwei nodded, and turned the computer screen towards him again, broadcasting the video that had just been shown to him.
After reading it, Boss Yu was also somewhat speechless.
He fell silent and sighed.
“If it were anyone else, this would be easy, but this Lu Guan…”
He frowned, a little annoyed, “I don’t have her contact information on hand either.”
Mo Caiwei and Quexiu were both surprised, “You don’t have contact information either?Didn’t she say she wanted you to invest in her business last time?She didn’t leave a phone number?”
Boss Yu laughed, “The words of such wealthy wives like them can be taken seriously after hearing them!One and a half billion dollars of business, she’s not the head of the Lu family, where can she come up with so much money all of a sudden, I don’t think this business is 80% negotiable.”
He looked at the instantly dimmed brilliance in Mo Caiwei and Quexiu’s eyes, but in the end, he couldn’t bear it.
“How about this, you guys wait for a few days and see if she will still come back to me, if she doesn’t come back, I’ll try to find out her contact information for you guys, you can go directly to her, Lu Lanzhi is a bit unruly, but as long as it’s reasonable, she shouldn’t make things difficult for you guys.”
It was only then that Quexu and Mo Caiwei nodded.
Over here, Mo Caiwei and the others were in a hurry to find Lu Lanzhi.
On the other side, Jenny was looking for her.
When she got the jade pendant, she felt something was wrong.
Back then, when Mo Caiwei died, only one necklace was left for her daughter, and the rest of the Mo family’s belongings were all ruined by Kevin Jing’s family.
As for the things her mother used before she died, because Kelly Wang hated her, she burned them all in one fire as well.
It was only reasonable that something like this jade pendant shouldn’t be out in the open.
Did you get tricked in the first place?
Did they say they burned the stuff down, when in fact they didn’t, but quietly sold the stuff?
Jenny didn’t know, but she knew that she had to get to the bottom of this.
After all, all that stuff was Mother’s.
Relics, no matter what, she couldn’t let them go out into the world.
She had to get them back, even if they had been ruined beyond recognition, and not let them fall into the hands of anyone else.
Thinking so, she called Lu Lanzhi directly.
Across the street, Lucian was a little surprised to get her call.
“Jenny, why did you think to call me?”
Jenny smiled, “Aunt, where are you?”
“Me?I’m having a facial. Do you want to come?I’m telling you oh, the technician skills in this house can be good, you’re so busy every day, and now you’re pregnant, you have to pay attention to the maintenance, otherwise women age fast, be careful of men out messing around…”
Jenny heard her get more and more outrageous, and had a headache stroking her forehead.
Finally, a direct interruption, “Send me your address and I’ll be right over.”
When Lu Lanzhi heard this, she immediately agreed happily, “Yes, yes, I’ll send you the address right away.”
After the phone call was hung up, Lu Lange quickly sent the address over.
Jenny Jing took a look at the address on his phone, directly entered the navigation, and drove to that beauty salon.
Other side.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Lanzhi sent an address to Jenny and then showed off to the beauty technician next to her, “You don’t know who the person who just called me is, do you?It’s my nephew’s daughter-in-law, who says it’s just like my daughter-in-law.”
“Oh my, you know well, I’m not married anymore, nor do I have children, so isn’t my nephew’s equivalent to my son’s.”
The technician smiled, “And is your nephew treating you well?”
“Of course it’s good, they’re very filial to me, I spend money and everything, didn’t you hear?Knowing that I’m getting a facial, this hurried over to help me pay for it and come stay with me.”
The group of technicians didn’t know who she really was, but by the way she was dressed, they knew she wasn’t just some rich guy.
They all laughed at the news and complimented, “Your niece-in-law is so sweet, you are so happy.”
Lucian smiled contentedly, before lying back and closing his eyes, enjoying himself at ease.
Jenny arrived twenty minutes later.
Because she knew she was coming, Lu Lanzhi had been strong enough to stay awake even if she felt comfortable.
Hearing the sound of heels outside, she mentally shook and immediately waved her hand, signaling the technician to get out of the way and sit up.
Looking back, it was indeed Jenny who had come.
“Jenny, you’re here.”
Jenny Jing looked at Lu Lanzhi’s bright smiling face and smiled along with it, walking over to sit down.
“Auntie is in such a good mood today, why did you think to come all the way here for a facial?”
Jenny was familiar with the ones she usually went to because she had been dragged by Lu Lanzhi a few times before.
But this family, she had never been here.
Lu Lanzhi smiled, “Those previous ones were not good technology ah, it has been those projects to do around, are tired of doing, this one was recommended to me by Huyuan two days ago, I came to try, not bad, do you want to try too?”
She looked at Jenny with an expectant face, and Jenny paused and said in a deep voice, “I’m not going to try, I came here today to find you because I have business to discuss.”
She said, turning to the next few staff members.
“I’m sorry, but please step out for a moment.”
Several people were stunned, and they all looked at each other.
