Chapter 225 Lotus Tower (28)
After solving the problem of Shan Gudao, Li Xiangyi picked up the jade pendant that Shan Gudao had worn for more than ten years, and remained silent.
Seeing this, Ji Xiao took it and examined it for a moment, commenting: "The quality of this jade pendant is not top-notch, but fortunately the carving craftsmanship is quite exquisite."
"Hmm." Li Xiangyi took back the jade pendant, glanced at it nonchalantly, then turned his gaze to Fang Duobing and asked, "Do you want it? If not, just destroy it."
"Ah, I don't want it. I have countless jade pendants like this at home, but do you really want to destroy it?"
"Well, there's no use keeping it. The jade materials I used to carve the jade hairpin for Xiaoxiao are better than this. Besides, it's been worn by people for so many years and it's dirty. It's disgusting just thinking about it." Li Xiangyi looked at the thing in front of him with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"Then, what about those people?" Fang Duobing asked, seeming to be very interested in this topic.
"That's none of my business." Li Xiangyi waved his hand, obviously not wanting to talk more.
At this moment, Fang Duobing's mother looked at them hesitantly, and Ji Xiao noticed her strangeness, so she took the initiative to ask, "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"
"Yeah." She nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "I think you may not be willing to contact them directly, so if you are assured, I can handle this matter for you."
Her tone was calm and firm, which made people feel trustful.
Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, Li Xiangyi decisively threw the jade pendant in his hand to Fang Duobing's mother and said, "In that case, then I'll trouble you. But please remember not to do anything that violates the law."
He Xiaohui quickly reached out to catch the jade pendant, held it carefully in her hand, and responded: "I understand, please rest assured. If you have any needs in the future, you can come to Tianji Villa to find me. There is nothing else to do now, so I will leave first. Fang Xiaobao, let's go." After that, she turned around and left with Fang Duobing, and the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Well, take care." Both of their voices were very soft, and their tones were so flat that it seemed as if it was just the simplest greeting between two strangers.
When their eyes met, although they both revealed a trace of indescribable complex emotions, they both chose to remain silent. This unfamiliar and cold atmosphere of conversation was far from the scene of relatives recognizing each other in people's imagination, and there was no sense of the excitement that relatives should have when they met.
After Fang Duobing and his mother walked further and further away and finally disappeared from sight, Li Xiangyi took a deep breath, turned to look at Ji Xiao beside him, and said softly: "Let's go too."
Ji Xiao nodded silently, and the two of them bowed to the master's wife again, then turned around and left together.
The afternoon sun shone on them, casting two long shadows. As their footsteps gradually faded away, their figures gradually blended into the mountains and forests until they disappeared completely.
The master's wife stood quietly at the gate of the yard, looking in the direction where Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao left, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
“Xiangyi, Xiaoxiao, I hope you can always support and tolerate each other.” The Master’s wife whispered to herself.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, blowing up the corner of Master's wife's clothes. After looking at it for a while, Master's wife turned back to the yard and closed the door at the same time.
