Chapter 1214: The Jiang Family’s Shock Over the Jade Pendant

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Before the Jiang family had recovered from the shock of finding out Chi Shuyan’s identity, their minds went blank when Ah Duo dropped another bombshell, and they were stupefied.

For a moment, the Jiang family really didn’t care if there were ghosts or not in this world. What they cared about the most was whether or not Ah Duo was alright. Grandpa Jiang, Father Jiang, and Mother Jiang all knew what Ah Duo’s character was like. He wouldn’t try coaxing them with an outrageous thing at a critical moment, unless it was true.

At the thought that Ah Duo had almost run afoul of a ghost, the Jiang family was so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat. Mother Jiang was so scared that her whole body turned soft. She stared intently at her son. If Father Jiang wasn’t beside her, Mother Jiang would have collapsed to the floor.

Grandpa Jiang and Father Jiang weren’t any better as they stared intently at Ah Duo.

Seeing how frightened his grandfather and parents were, Jiang Duo proudly flaunted the jade pendant that was around his neck.

He told them that he had specially bought it from Master Chi.

As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant and said to his family, “Grandpa, Dad, Mom, this is the jade pendant which Master Chi sold to me. It’s just that it’s a little expensive; it cost 30 million. Dad, you have to reimburse me later. I bought it with my pocket money.”

Jiang Duo was certain that his family would definitely have no objections to spending 30 million on Master Chi’s jade pendant. Let alone his grandfather, his father definitely wouldn’t mind Jiang Duo spending the money when he heard the words “Master Chi.”

To impress on his family how valuable the jade pendant was, Jiang Duo hurriedly continued, “Grandpa, Dad, Mom, don’t think that this jade pendant is expensive! Master Chi might not have sold these pendants otherwise! Previously, the other boys wanted to buy more of these jade pendants from Master Chi, but she refused!”

At that point, Jiang Duo started to repeat what Master Chi had told him about the benefits of this jade pendant. Its effect was comparable to a Nourishment Pill if worn every day, and it was especially good for the body. It could also ward off evil spirits.

When Grandpa Jiang, Father Jiang, and Mother Jiang heard Ah Duo’s words, they were shocked. They were excited at learning that just wearing the jade pendant every day had a similar effect as taking the Nourishment Pill.

Grandpa Jiang, who was the calmest here, couldn’t calm down for a moment, let alone Father and Mother Jiang.

“Ah Duo, are you serious?” The old man was the first to speak, his voice shaky. He couldn’t wait any longer, and hurriedly said, “Ah Duo, come sit next to Grandpa and let me take a good look at the jade pendant around your neck.”

Grandpa Jiang looked excitedly at the bright jade pendant around Ah Duo neck, then at his grandson’s face to confirm that he was telling the truth. Thinking of how this was from Master Chi, his face was filled with excitement and elation, and his hands trembled non-stop.

When Ah Duo sat down, Old Master Jiang stared at the jade pendant. Although he didn’t see anything special about it, he praised it repeatedly, and the happiness in his eyes was evident.

Father Jiang’s expression was probably too severe at that moment as he gazed fixedly at Jiang Duo. Jiang Duo thought that his father didn’t believe him and was about to fly into a rage and settle accounts with him for spending 30 million at one go.

Jiang Duo’s heart jumped and he hurriedly said nervously to his father, “Dad, I… I’m really not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can call Ningjin and the others and ask them. Right, they wanted to buy this jade pendant from me, and said that any price would do.”

How could Jiang Duo know that Father Jiang wasn’t dissatisfied with him, but was feeling envious at that moment of his son’s luck and the jade pendant around his neck? Father Jiang still had some discerning eyes. There was no way his son could deceive him.

This kid wasn’t lying. Thinking this, Father Jiang stared enviously at the jade pendant around his son’s neck. Fools really were blessed. His son’s luck was really better than his.

Without waiting for Jiang Duo to guess what his father’s gaze meant, Grandpa Jiang suddenly patted Jiang Duo’s shoulder excitedly. His old face was flushed red with excitement. “No, no, this treasure belongs to my precious grandson. How can you sell it? Ah Duo, our family isn’t short of money. Instead, you can ask the others if they’ll sell theirs. It doesn’t matter how much it costs. Just say that I’m the one who’s asking.”

Seeing that his grandfather believed him, Jiang Duo finally relaxed. He was also a little excited, but when he heard his grandfather’s words, Jiang Duo shook his head and said, “Grandpa, I’ve already asked. I originally wanted to buy jade pendants for you and Dad and Mom, but Master Chi isn’t selling them anymore, and neither will the others.”

At that point, Jiang Duo sounded very regretful.

The more Grandpa Jiang, Father Jiang, and Mother Jiang thought about it, the more they felt that the jade pendant around Ah Duo’s neck was definitely no ordinary thing – who wouldn’t make money if there was a chance to do so? For a moment, even Grandpa Jiang envied his grandson’s luck as he stared covetously at the jade pendant around Ah Duo’s neck.

At that moment, Grandpa Jiang’s face was very solemn as he repeatedly told his grandson to take good care of this jade pendant and keep it under his shirt; there was no need to flaunt it.

Grandpa Jiang made up his mind to make this jade pendant their family heirloom. If it wasn’t for the fact that his grandson was wearing it around his neck, Grandpa Jiang would have carefully placed it in the safe.

Father Jiang clearly thought the same thing, and also thought of locking it in the safe, but the old man directly rejected this idea.

How could something as good as this be kept in the safe?

This jade pendant wasn’t the Nourishment Pill. It had to be worn all the time for it to be effective.

The old man made the decision and let his precious grandson wear it.

Although Jiang Duo was still quite afraid of encountering ghosts, it didn’t take him long to think about it before he decided to give the jade pendant to his grandfather.

Grandpa Jiang was overjoyed at how considerate and filial his grandson was, but he refused. It was mainly because what Grandpa Jiang wanted the most was for his grandson to do well. His grandson was the hope of the family.

Grandpa Jiang patted his grandson’s shoulder happily and said, “Ah Duo, I’m very happy that you have such good intentions, but you should still wear this jade pendant yourself. Wear it well and don’t lose it. Of course, if you can, build a good relationship with Master Chi and try to buy another jade pendant from her for me in the future. As for the cost of this jade pendant, I’ll reimburse you for it.”

Jiang Duo was moved and happy when he heard his grandfather’s words. He immediately nodded. “I understand, Grandpa!”

Grandpa Jiang stressed again, “Wear it well and don’t lose it!” It could be seen how much Grandpa Jiang valued this jade pendant.

Since the old man had already spoken, Father Jiang couldn’t say anything even if he still wanted to. Seeing that her son had gotten something good, Mother Jiang was even happier.

It was just that when Father Jiang thought of how his carefree son was wearing this ‘family heirloom’ around his neck, he really couldn’t relax. He was afraid that this kid might go out to play or get into a fight, and then lose the jade pendant without him knowing.

If this jade pendant was really lost, Father Jiang would vomit blood.

At that moment, Jiang Duo still didn’t know that his life of suffering was about to begin again. From now on, he would suffer from five or six phone calls from his father every day, and he would be subjected to house rules once again.

Father Jiang did this in the name of concern for his son and to protect the ‘family heirloom’ at the same time.

After learning about the jade pendant, the Jiang family then thought of how Ah Duo had encountered a ghost. They hadn’t thought much of it earlier, but now that they did, they calmed down and absorbed the information.

While the Jiang family was trying to absorb this information, Chi Shuyan had already returned home.

Sure enough!

It was still just her at home. Chi Shuyan had been a little nervous, and she sighed with relief. She looked at the bedroom, the living room and the washroom. Everything was where she had left them, and there were no signs that anyone had slept on the big bed in the bedroom. Qi Zhenbai probably hadn’t come back for a day or two.

Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything. She walked to the room she used to stay in, took out boxes, and packed up her things.

She only packed up half of them. Ever since she had sensed that Qi Zhenbai was ‘impatient’ with her during their phone call, she couldn’t wait to pack her things and get lost; she was tired of being disliked.

But the two of them had lived together for so long, after all. Coming back suddenly now, the memories of the time they spent together was vivid in her mind. Plus, this was her first relationship in her two lives, and she had given her all; she couldn’t completely cut off all her feelings.

After putting away some things, she stared blankly into space for a while, then went to the washroom to wash up. She didn’t think about anything else, and fell asleep.
