Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 533 - 532 Jade Pendant.2 (Second Update)

Only Old Master Yang was staring intently at the translucent Jade Pendant hanging on the little girl’s chest!His wrinkled hand trembled slightly as he reached out to pick up the Jade Pendant. Everyone thought his behavior was a bit strange, except Yang Sheng, who gently tugged at him and softly called, "Grandfather..."

Old Master Yang, with a slightly hoarse voice and trembling hand, softly said, "Take it off and let me see..."

Although Le Tong found it strange, she didn’t ask much because she had heard from Ji Rui that Old Master Yang, like Mr. Ji, was particularly fond of collecting antiques.

At this moment, she simply assumed that the Old Master had seen a rare treasure.

This Jade Pendant was the one Le Tong gave to Baobao, who had given it to Nuonuo without consulting her. Le Tong didn’t mind since once it was given to Baobao, Baobao had the right to decide what to do with it.

To her, this Jade Pendant was merely a keepsake left by her father, whether entrusted to Baobao or Nuonuo, its significance was the same.

The Old Master took the Jade Pendant, and Yang Sheng dragged a chair over to support him to sit down. He lowered his eyes, trembling hands and rough fingertips caressing the Jade Pendant, examining it carefully.

Meanwhile, a few people gathered around Nuonuo, and no one paid attention to the Old Master’s reaction.

"Mr. Ji, did she go anywhere earlier?"

"She stayed in the garden for a while."

"It’s not a problem with the ointment. That ointment was specially made by me, very mild, and suitable for children. It must be an allergy to pollen. I’ll prescribe some medicine for the little girl; there’s no need to worry, she’ll be fine soon." The doctor confirmed the source of the problem and simultaneously cleared the Old Master of any suspicion.

Ji Rui, Le Tong, and Baobao all breathed a sigh of relief.

Unconsciously, just within a week’s time, Ji Rui and Le Tong had completely accepted Nuonuo. Now, in their minds, Nuonuo was as much their child as Baobao.

"Where did you get this Jade Pendant?!"

After studying the Jade Pendant for quite some time, Old Master Yang stared intently at Ji Rui and asked.

Ji Rui shook his head, "I didn’t buy it!"

"It’s yours?" The Old Master’s tone became extremely strange, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

Before Ji Rui could answer, the Old Master lowered his eyes again, murmuring at the Jade Pendant, "Impossible..."

Seeing the Old Master like this, Le Tong felt uneasy, "Chairman Yang, this Jade Pendant isn’t Ji Rui’s, it’s mine."

The Old Master suddenly raised his head, glaring at her with eyes that seemed to penetrate her face, as if seeing through her to someone else.

"Yours? Bought it?"

Old Master Yang repeated the question he asked Ji Rui.

"Mm! It’s mine. I didn’t buy it. This was left to me by my father."

Le Tong’s confusion grew larger, as if some truth was slowly emerging.

Le Tong shook her head, dismissing the suddenly emerging but seemingly impossible thought.

"Is your father Yang Weikang?" The Old Master’s voice trembled violently, with a hint of anticipation hidden within.

Upon hearing this name, both Yang Sheng and Uncle Jing’s expressions changed.

But Le Tong, the person involved, looked utterly clueless, "How is that possible? My father’s name is Le Ming, who is Yang Weikang?"

Though Le Tong vaguely felt that Yang Weikang might have a close relationship with the Old Master, were they father and son? Brothers?

But Le Tong stopped herself from digging further, after all, she didn’t know who this Yang Weikang was, and it had nothing to do with her.

The Old Master, holding the Jade Pendant, stared dully at Le Tong’s face for a while, "Impossible... Impossible..."

Although Yang Sheng’s eyes were full of confusion, he was the first to regain composure among the group.

"Grandfather, what exactly is going on? Please explain clearly."

Yang Sheng said, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

"Sheng boy, do you not know about this Jade Pendant?"

Old Master Yang, still with slightly trembling hands, handed the Jade Pendant to Yang Sheng, coughing a few times as if either unwell or choked by something.

Yang Sheng took the Jade Pendant, examining it carefully, looking at the Jade Pendant, then at Le Tong, and uncertainly said, "Is it the same as the one my dad had?"

Under Uncle Jing’s attentive care with water and back-patting, Old Master Yang finally caught his breath.

"Yes, this Jade Pendant was precisely your little uncle’s."

Yang Sheng stared at Le Tong incredulously, "Grandfather, are you sure?"

And Le Tong was equally incredulous. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel•fire.net

By now, she understood that Yang Weikang was the Old Master’s son, and thus Yang Sheng’s little uncle. The Jade Pendant might belong to Yang Weikang, yet for some reason, it ended up with her father.

The Old Master’s emotion seemed to calm down a bit, "I’m sure! But we can have it appraised by a master."

After speaking to Yang Sheng, the Old Master turned his gaze back to Le Tong’s face, "What did you say your father’s name is?"

"Le Ming!" Although Le Tong no longer remembered her father clearly, she remembered his name distinctly.

After all, he was the man who gave her life, and also a brief but very beautiful childhood.

Aside from the psychological shadow left by his sudden disappearance later, her father was an impeccable good father.

"Where is he now? Can you ask him to come and see me?" The Old Master’s tone carried a bit of urgency, his face, full of wrinkles, lost the earlier brilliance on stage, replaced by deep-seated timelessness and helplessness.

Le Tong was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "Chairman Yang, I’m sorry, I can’t help you."

The Old Master’s face changed slightly, his tone involuntarily increasing a few decibels. "Why?"

"I haven’t seen my father since I was over five years old. I don’t know where he is now." Even after so many years, mentioning this, Le Tong still couldn’t let go.

The Old Master was stunned, his face full of disappointment, "How could this be..." Mr. Ji murmured.

"Tongtong, are you sure this Jade Pendant was your father’s personal belonging?" By this time, Yang Sheng was also concerned.

After all, one was his favorite little uncle, the other was a junior sister he felt an immediate kinship with from their first meeting.

He didn’t know which direction he wanted this matter to go, but he was very clear that if this junior sister, whom he genuinely cared for, turned out to be his sister, he would be happy!

"Senior brother, I’m sorry, I’m not sure."

Le Tong tried to recall her childhood memories, but those past events were long ago, now in her mind, aside from her father’s faintly recognizable kind smile, everything else was forgotten.

Moreover, this Jade Pendant was not handed to her by her father himself but passed to her through her mother.

According to her mother, this Jade Pendant was a token of love from her father, and it could also be said to be a betrothal gift.
