Chapter 307: Old Lady Xu Discovers Something Strange
"Xu Ning, you wouldn't really throw that thing away, would you?" Qi Canglan asked Xu Ning secretly after catching up.
Xu Ning didn't answer for a long time. Qi Canglan felt uneasy, his eyes flickered, and his tone was tentative.
"Did you really throw it away?"
This time he came out not only for inspection, but more importantly to see whether the gift his master gave to Xu Ning was safe.
Although he believed that with Old Lady Xu here, Xu Ning would not be crazy enough to really throw away the jade pendant, but after all, the jade pendant was not an ordinary item. Others might not understand its value, but he knew it very well.
"Yes, I threw it away. What's wrong? Didn't you tell me to throw it away if I didn't want it? I followed your instructions and threw it far away!" A cunning look flashed in Xu Ning's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, deliberately teasing Qi Canglan.
Qi Canglan's face turned pale in an instant, as if the sky was about to fall, and his eyes revealed despair and helplessness.
Seeing this, Xu Ning couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the air and he was laughing so hard that he fell backwards.
Qi Canglan had given up hope, but suddenly found himself being teased, and could not help but feel ashamed. He was about to confront Xu Ning, but he saw the strange look from Old Lady Xu.
Qi Canglan immediately resumed his usual street thug look, pretending nothing had happened and said, "Forget it, do whatever you want with it, it's yours anyway. But I still want to remind you, this thing is not cheap, if you really lose it, remember to tell me and I'll pick it up."
Xu Ning curled his lips in disdain, not caring about Qi Canglan's words, and turned away with Old Lady Xu. Qi Canglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had successfully concealed his inner anxiety.
Along the way, Qi Canglan, feeling guilty, did not dare to look Old Lady Xu in the eye. However, Old Lady Xu was very observant and naturally noticed something unusual.
After thinking about it, Old Lady Xu was afraid that the jade pendant was not a normal one, so after returning to the hotel, Old Lady Xu said to Xu Ning: "Aning, find a chance to return the jade pendant."
"Got it, grandma." Xu Ning didn't care too much. She didn't want to accept it anyway, so it was just right to send it back.
Xu Ning was still thinking that if Qi Canglan could cheat her, she could also cheat him back.
Soon it was time for the month-end settlement, and Xu Ning secretly put the jade pendant in Jiang Yan's box of silver bills.
Qi Canglan was so careless that he counted them and found that he was right. He didn't even notice that there was a jade pendant hidden underneath.
He never expected that Xu Ning would casually stuff such an important jade pendant into the box containing silver bills.
When Jiang Yan's men presented the jade pendant to Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan was confused for a moment. It was not until Qi Canglan was called over for questioning and learned the whole story that Jiang Yan took the jade pendant back with a helpless smile.
Since Xu Ning didn't want the jade pendant, Jiang Yan thought about giving him something else, preferably one that would not be returned after being accepted.
"Master, you might as well train a group of people and send them to Miss Xu." Jiang Yi suggested.
"Brother, your idea is inappropriate. Xu Ning, no, Miss Xu is so smart, how could they be willing to accept the person sent by the master?"
"You mean, she's afraid her master will monitor her?"
"What else?" It's not like our master has no criminal record. Of course, the two brothers knew this but didn't dare to say it out loud.
But even if they didn't say it, Jiang Yan knew it.
"Master, do you think she might be blaming me for not helping her in the woods?" Jiang Yi frowned.
"Master, I don't think so. If so, she won't cooperate with you in the future." Jiang Er said immediately.
"Moreover, master, maybe you are thinking too much. Miss Xu is a woman. What if she is slow in emotional aspects?" Jiang Er continued to analyze.
Jiang Yan said nothing, thinking secretly about how to please the beauty. He and Jiang Yi and Jiang Er had no experience in this area, so they decided to find an experienced person to help them.
After much thought, he felt that the most suitable candidate should be Qi Songbo. After all, Qi Songbo was devoted to Pei Jiao and had been pestering her for many years, which was well known throughout the capital.
However, despite this, Qi Songbo has never been able to win Pei Jiao's heart for many years, which is really regrettable.
Although his subordinate Qi Canglan has made great achievements in business, he seems very unreliable in other matters.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Who should I look for? ...
After careful consideration, Jiang Yan finally came up with an idea - starting with the people around Xu Ning.
He realized that it was not easy to understand what Xu Ning liked, but it would be much easier if he could first find out the preferences of the people around her.
Then, the people around Xu Ning discovered that the people from Jiang Yan seemed to be trying to please them.
The first person to discover this was the Grand Minister of Agriculture. This loudmouth immediately thought that Jiang Yan must have fallen in love with Xu Ning, so he immediately put on his bag and went to chat with Old Lady Xu.
Old Mrs. Xu had already noticed something unusual, and when the Minister of Agriculture said this, she reacted and confirmed the matter.
All of a sudden, everyone around Xu Ning, except Xu Ning himself, knew that Jiang Yan was pursuing Xu Ning.
The result was that when Xu Ning and Jiang Yan met one time, they encountered a group of people who were joking with him, and Xu Ning was completely dumbfounded.
Xu Ning, furious and humiliated, wrote a letter and ran away with his bag.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, aunt Yuan, big brother, Xiaobao, I'm going out for a trip and I don't know when I'll be back. Don't look for me. I'll find you if there's something wrong. If I don't look for you, it means I'm fine. Don't miss me too much. I'll come back if I miss you. Xu Ningliu."
"Madam, it's bad. The young lady left a letter and ran away from home!"
"What?" The Xu family was in chaos.
Jiang Yan and others who got the news were also dumbfounded. This girl is too thin-skinned. The main planner ran away, what about the remaining projects?
"If we proceed as planned, the Xu family should be able to contact her. Didn't Miss Xu say in the letter that she would come back if anything happened?"
"I hope so. What is this all about?"
Valley, Xu family.
"Did Daya reply?" Zhang asked.
The Xu family members holding their boxes all shook their heads.
"Mom, will this girl be okay if she goes out?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Ningning's martial arts skills are not low. As long as she doesn't conflict with a group of masters, she will be fine."
"Yes, mother, those martial arts masters have been recruited by my second sister, and the remaining ones are definitely not able to beat my second sister."
"That being said, there are still a lot of bad guys out there..."
"Mom, I think you don't have to worry about that. What you should worry about is whether Second Sister will bully them too badly!"
“That seems to be true.”
"Da Ya, this girl, this is my fault!" Old Lady Xu sighed. She regretted that she should have controlled the others when she knew the news. If she hadn't thought that Daya and Jiang Yan would be together more often and see the two brothers more often, perhaps this situation would not have happened.
"Mom, how can you be blamed for this? It was obviously Daya who acted on impulse!" Speaking of this, Xu Da suddenly became angry with Xu Ning.
"Dayong! What nonsense are you talking about!" Old Mrs. Xu said angrily.
"Mom...that's not possible. We are his elders!"
"I don't allow you to say that about her. Have you forgotten who gave us the life we have today?!"
"Mom, that's not what I meant!"
"You are! Do you dare to say that you were not trying to act like a father just now? I think you have been living in peace for too long and have forgotten how you got through it!"
"Mom! We are Daya's relatives!" Zhang pulled Xu Da over and signaled him not to speak anymore.
"You know it, don't you? I won't say anything else. Even I can't be Daya's master, so you can forget about it! Put the thoughts in your heart aside. If it happens again, this family will break up."
"mother!"
"Milk!"
Except for Old Man Xu, everyone else present was so scared that they knelt in front of Old Lady Xu.
"Old woman, they are going too far. Let's ignore them and go back to our room to rest." Old Man Xu supported Old Lady Xu and refused Xu Yuan's help. The two old people staggered out of the hall.
The others were silent and dared not speak. The whole valley was exceptionally quiet that day.
