Chapter 307: Does Xie Luan Know That Jade Pendant?

“No, I am alright. I find this jade pendant quite beautiful. Where did you buy it?”

“I didn’t buy it. I have been wearing it since I was a child. Actually, I don’t know where it came from.”

Gu Yan’s suspicion grew. She felt that Xie Luan’s expression turned strange after seeing the jade pendant.

For some reason, Gu Yan’s heart began to beat wildly.

Could it be… Xie Luan knows this jade pendant?

At this moment, Xie Luan had finished putting on the pearl necklace for Gu Yan. She changed the topic. She said gently, “Xiao Yan, your skin is really fair. This necklace looks really good on you.”

“Yes, my skin has improved during this period. Prior to now, I used to be dark-skinned and scrawny. My skin was dry.”

More than a year had passed since her rebirth. At this time, Gu Yan looked at herself in the mirror and sighed.

Xie Luan knew that Gu Yan went through a lot of hardships when she was just a mere child. Her heart ached. She glanced at the red string and patted Gu Yan’s shoulder. “You’re not that plump right now. You must be very tired from studying. You accumulated a lot of stress. Xiao Yan, take this money. Get yourself something nice to eat.”

“No, Godmother, I can’t take your money!” Gu Yan immediately waved her hand. “I’ll take the necklace, but I really can’t accept the money.”

…

Although Xie Luan was her mother, the truth wasn’t out yet.

They were clearly related by blood but were still separated. This situation was too frustrating.

Xie Luan knew Gu Yan would object. She still insisted on pushing the envelope into Gu Yan’s hands. “This isn’t some other money. It’s my way of saying thank you for relieving my condition. I was thinking of giving it to you at the end, but you’re about to take your examination. Don’t underestimate that test. Some people get too nervous beforehand. They don’t rest and eat well, causing them to faint before it even starts.”

People prepare for this examination for years. If they lost consciousness on that day and missed it, they would be devastated.

Gu Yan understood this point, but the money…

Seeing the hesitation on her face, Xie Luan urged softly, “Xiao Yan, just take this money. You call me godmother. That means I’m your elder. Moreover, I really need to thank you. Ever since you’ve been giving me head massages from time to time, I have gotten infinitely better. The doctor had already set a time limit to my life before. But now, my head doesn’t experience much headaches. If I go and get checked again, perhaps they will say the clotted blood has been relieved too. That’s why you must take this money. Otherwise, I’m not going to let you give me head massages anymore.”

Gu Yan couldn’t reject the offer this time, so she took the envelope and said genuinely, “Godmother, when I get a job and earn some money, I’ll buy gifts for you too. You can’t reject it by then.”

“Ay, of course, I won’t reject gifts from my goddaughter.” Xie Luan smiled warmly.

Gu Yan could also feel the warmth.

Just as Gu Yan left Xie Luan’s place and returned to school, Lu Ye, who was in the south, had flawlessly finished a mission with M. They took a shower and changed out of their combat uniforms.

As M was driving, Lu Ye said, “I’ll get off at the intersection ahead. Just drop me there.”

M nodded and said with his serious iceberg face, “L, if you’re really planning to get married before entering the special forces, then introduce a partner for me. If they beat you up, I’ll stop them.”
