3097 I Have a Plan
Shen Xiyin subconsciously thought this jade pendant might have something to do with Leng Xiaoyao. She didn’t think Leng Xiaoyao might have found problems with that jade pendant and was suspicious of her.
“Yeah, I sent the jade pendant to Chenmeng. It was a gift from my aunt. Actually I planned to design jewelry myself for Mrs. An and Chenmeng when I came to see them with Chenjun, but I was short of time, so I gave the jade pendant which my aunt gave me to Chenmeng.” Shen Xiyin said, “Miss Leng, is there something wrong with that jade pendant?”
“Yes, that jade pendant isn’t so simple,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“What’s the problem?” Shen Xiyin asked. She didn’t realize how serious it was. Anyway, since there was a problem, Shen Xiyin became serious too.
“That jade pendant is covered with evil power, which means it was dug out from an evil grave. So people will have nightmares and become weak with a cold body and pale face after wearing it. An Chenmeng’s current condition is exactly the same,” Leng Xiaoyao said seriously.
“W-What?” Shen Xiyin was shocked and frightened.
Luckily, Shen Xiyin wasn’t driving. If she was, she would definitely have lost control. Besides, there was a lot of traffic. Once she lost control, there would be an accident.
Leng Xiaoyao was driving and looking ahead, but she focused on Shen Xiyin’s face through side glances.
She could see that Shen Xiyin was extremely frightened, so Shen Xiyin obviously didn’t know anything about it.
“M-Miss Leng, is that true?” Shen Xiyin asked. Even if she still couldn’t believe it, An Chenmeng was indeed sick now right after she gave her the jade pendant. Therefore, she was also worried that the jade pendant harmed An Chenmeng’s health. No matter how much she didn’t believe it, she needed to make it clear.
She had no intention of hurting An Chenmeng, so she obviously didn’t want An Chenmeng to get sick because of her gift.
“There is no need for me to lie to you, because it won’t do me any good. If you don’t believe it, you can wait until after I handle it. To be honest with you, I tried to get close to you because of the jade pendant. I wanted to know whether you were aware of the harm behind the jade pendant. It was necessary for me to know if it was a scheme or an accident. I tested you, but now I’m sure you’re innocent, so I told you everything,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Miss Leng, I honestly didn’t know that that jade pendant is evil. There is no grudge between An Chenmeng and me. I have no reason to hurt her,” Shen Xiyin said emotionally, because she had no idea about the evil power nor did she have the intention to hurt anyone.
Therefore, she only cared about the jade pendant and An Chenmeng now. She didn’t mind that Leng Xiaoyao had investigated her.
Leng Xiaoyao investigated her for An Chenmeng. After all, An Chenmeng was sick because of the jade pendant she gave her. It was reasonable that Leng Xiaoyao was suspicious of her.
In addition, if Leng Xiaoyao could solve the problem, Leng Xiaoyao would be helping her too!
If An Chenmeng got in serious trouble because of the jade pendant sent by her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. And it would be impossible for her to be together with An Chenmeng.
“Since you had no idea about the truth of that jade pendant. It should either be an accident or a scheme for your aunt to give you this jade pendant. People in the antique industry all know that evil antiques can harm people’s health or luck. It’s not really superstitions,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“No, it’s impossible. My aunt would never do something like that.” Shen Xiyin denied it at once, but didn’t have much confidence, because she remembered something.
“Miss Shen, as an outsider, I shouldn’t ask much about your family affairs, but since I’m involved, I need to remind you to make it clear, otherwise you might be dragged into unnecessary trouble,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Thank you so much for your advice, Miss Leng.” Shen Xiyin thanked her. Currently she was totally confused. She couldn’t be sure whether her aunt giving her the jade pendant was a scheme or an accident.
Shen Xiyin had a good relationship with her aunt, but she didn’t get along with her female cousin who was a year older than her.
They both majored in jewelry design and were competitors ever since they were little. If her aunt gave the jade pendant for a purpose, it might have something to do with her older cousin.
If not, she didn’t think her aunt would trap her. In other words, she was suspicious of her older cousin.
She wasn’t naive and wouldn’t think that everyone was a good person. She never attacked other people, and had a great sense of self-defense. Therefore, although she didn’t think Leng Xiaoyao’s guess was possible, she still paid attention to it.
“Miss Leng, since we know Chenmeng got sick because of the jade pendant, we must take it back!” Shen Xiyin said. She was afraid that An Chenmeng might get sicker if the jade pendant was with her for a while longer.
“I have a plan. You don’t need to worry about that, Miss Shen. If we take the jade pendant back right now, they might become suspicious,” Leng Xiaoran said.
Shen Xiyin didn’t do it on purpose, so Leng Xiaoyao needed to protect Shen Xiyin’s face.
“W-What do you plan to do?” Shen Xiyin asked. Although she believed Leng Xiaoyao could handle it well, she wanted to know the details because she was anxious.
“First, go buy some yellow paper, brushes and cinnabar. Draw a Taoist magic figure for An Chenmeng to put on her body. Then we can say that the things on her body have been stained by the ghost, so her clothes need to be changed and the jewelry needs to be removed. At that time, I’ll seize the chance and get rid of the evil power in the jade pendant before returning it to her. By then, it’ll be fine.” Leng Xiaoyao said, “But this can only stop the evil power from continuing to affect An Chenmeng. She still needs herbal medicines to help her recover.”
