Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 532 - 531 Jade Pendant (1st Update)

Le Tong couldn’t help but hesitate, should she use this ointment or not?As Le Tong hesitated, the emcee on the stage turned on the microphone and invited one of the stars of today’s banquet, Old Sir Yang, to come on stage.

Old Sir Yang stood energetically on the stage, ignoring his whole head of white hair and the wrinkles on his face. Just looking at his bright eyes and his energetic demeanor, he didn’t look like an old man in his eighties but more like a vigorous young man.

"My senior brother doesn’t resemble his grandfather at all..."

Le Tong objectively commented and looked down at Nuonuo’s face, inevitably feeling worried again.

"Give it a try..." Ji Rui deliberated for a moment and handed the ointment to Le Tong.

Le Tong pushed the stroller aside, squatted down, and carefully applied the ointment to Nuonuo.

"Yang Sheng not only doesn’t look like his grandfather, but also doesn’t resemble his father."

After a long pause, Ji Rui finally gave Le Tong an answer.

"So who does he resemble?"

Le Tong couldn’t help but be a little curious. Could it be, like his mother?

"I heard from Yang Sheng that he resembles his youngest uncle. Among so many people in the Yang Family, he admires his youngest uncle the most."

"Really?"

Le Tong had never heard about Yang Sheng’s family affairs. From getting to know Yang Sheng through Professor Liu, Le Tong knew his family was complicated but didn’t expect the so-called complexity to be that of a big, illustrious family.

"Yeah, he said among all the Yang family members, he only has some affection for this youngest uncle." Although Ji Rui had heard Yang Sheng mention this youngest uncle, he had never seen him in person.

Moreover, it seemed like this youngest uncle had never appeared in high society circles either, so in Ji Rui’s mind, Yang Sheng’s youngest uncle was quite mysterious.

After applying the ointment, Baobao said there were too many people there, and the air was stuffy, suggesting they take Nuonuo out to play. Le Tong thought it made sense and figured that Old Master Yang’s speech would probably take a while, so there’s no harm in taking the two kids out for a walk first.

"Ji Rui, I’ll take Baobao and Nuonuo out for a walk."

Ji Rui glanced at the crowd in the hall, nodded, and gently instructed them not to go too far.

Le Tong and Baobao pushed Nuonuo out to the venue’s exterior and found a pavilion not far away to sit.

"Baobao, are you having fun?" Le Tong was always worried about boring her beloved son.

"Not fun at all! Old Master Yang is so fierce!" Baobao pouted and mercilessly criticized Old Master Yang.

Receiving such a straightforward answer from her son, Le Tong didn’t know how to respond to Baobao properly.

"Old Master doesn’t like Baobao or Nuonuo, so Baobao doesn’t like him either!" The little guy snorted again.

The world of children is much simpler and purer than that of adults.

In a child’s world, everything is relatively reciprocal.

If you give me a candy, I’ll give you a lollipop.

If you punch me, I’ll kick you.

If you like me, I’ll like you too.

If you don’t acknowledge me, naturally, I won’t be interested in seeing you.

Le Tong was amused by Baobao’s simple yet philosophical words and couldn’t help but smile, "Hmm, it’s fine not to like him. After all, we’re just guests, and we’ll be leaving soon."

"Uncle Sheng is so pitiful!"

Baobao gently patted restless Nuonuo with his palm, speaking with much sympathy.

"Uncle Sheng is Old Master’s grandson. Old Master is to him what Grandpa is to Baobao, so Baobao doesn’t need to worry." Le Tong comforted him.

"Oh..." Clearly, Baobao didn’t believe Le Tong’s reasoning.

Le Tong and Baobao chatted aimlessly, while Nuonuo in the stroller became increasingly restless. Initially, she was just wriggling around, but later she looked very uncomfortable. The red and swollen lump on her face seemed redder and more swollen than before. Additionally, apart from the swollen lump, Nuonuo’s face seemed to reveal an abnormal blush.

Le Tong’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that Old Master Yang wouldn’t have actually given her some strange ointment, would he?

Although she felt that her thoughts were rather callous, Nuonuo’s condition was indeed distressing, and Le Tong didn’t have the heart to clear Old Master Yang’s name.

"Baobao, Nuonuo seems a bit uncomfortable. Let’s go back and let daddy take a look."

Le Tong held Nuonuo and comforted her, while Baobao pushed the stroller as they hurriedly made their way back to the venue.

Ji Rui was still standing in the original spot. Le Tong ran over, holding Nuonuo. "Ji Rui, it seems like Nuonuo has a fever!"

At this time, Yang Sheng was speaking on the stage.

It seemed the appointment announcement had been formally made.

However, at this moment, Le Tong was in no mood to rejoice for Yang Sheng, as the little girl’s face was noticeably redder than before.

Ji Rui reached out to touch Nuonuo’s forehead, his brow furrowing involuntarily, "It seems like she has a fever."

He said, looking around.

At this time, of course, it wouldn’t be possible for him to seek help from Yang Sheng. But Uncle Jing, the Yang family’s housekeeper, was standing not far from them, watching Yang Sheng on stage.

"Uncle Jing, do you have a family doctor?" Ji Rui quickly walked over and asked Uncle Jing in a low voice.

"What happened? Who’s sick? Did Young Master Ji fall?" Uncle Jing naturally thought of Baobao, considering that most boys are mischievous.

"No, it’s the little girl who has a fever."

Uncle Jing glanced at the little girl in Le Tong’s arms and was also startled. "Come with me!"

Uncle Jing led Le Tong and the others to an adjacent lounge, letting them stay inside first, then took out his phone to notify the family doctor to come over immediately.

Ten minutes later, the family doctor entered, followed by Yang Sheng, who had just been speaking on the stage, and the rather unfriendly Old Master Yang from the Yang family.

"What happened?"

Old Master Yang probably assumed the child’s illness was severe and rushed over, showing that although he had a strange temperament, he wasn’t entirely devoid of concern.

The doctor first glanced at Nuonuo’s face and then felt her forehead, "Mr. Ji, the little girl should be having an allergic reaction."

"An allergic reaction?"

The doctor nodded, "It could be a pollen allergy or a medication allergy."

Ji Rui raised his head to look at Old Master Yang, and Old Master Yang immediately understood Ji Rui’s implication, his face darkened instantly.

"Are you suspecting that I deliberately played a trick on this little girl?" Ji Rui remained silent.

Originally, he didn’t have much goodwill towards this old man.

"Chairman Yang, sorry, he doesn’t mean that," Le Tong nudged Ji Rui’s arm, signaling him not to speak.

Ji Rui finally listened to Le Tong, lowering his head to check on Nuonuo’s condition, while Le Tong tried to smooth things over, "Let’s let the doctor diagnose first."

The doctor first thoroughly examined the little girl’s face and head, then unbuttoned her clothes, revealing that the skin below her neck was somewhat red.

"Mr. Ji, it’s likely an allergy..."

Everyone’s attention was focused on the source of the little girl’s illness, except for Old Master Yang, whose eyes were fixed intently on the shiny jade pendant hanging on the little girl’s chest!
