C499 The Old Lady's Response

The old lady's reaction.

That night was really not calm. Who knew how many people were going to have insomnia?

After Tang Youyou left the study room, she searched the room again. She even laid on the bed and looked carefully under the bed.

Unfortunately, she still could not find it. That jade seemed to have evaporated into thin air. Could it really be that maid who stole it?

The Ji Family had always been strict with the servants. Why would they recruit someone with dirty hands and feet?

Tang Youyou was bitter. When she heard the old lady say that she had an impression of that jade pendant, Tang Youyou held a trace of hope.

Unfortunately, what should she do now?

Even if she described it verbally, she might not be able to let the old lady know.

Just as Tang Youyou was in a daze, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She rushed over and took out her phone.

She flipped through the photo and suddenly, she saw the photo and her face lit up.

Right, she almost forgot that her phone saved the photo of the jade pendant. Tomorrow, she could directly show it to the old lady.

Early morning!

Ji Xiaohan suddenly woke up. The night seemed to be very short. He had not slept yet, but it was already dawn.

He rubbed his forehead. That night, he lay beside his son but could not sleep. Even if he fell asleep, he kept having nightmares. In the dream, Tang Youyou was crying sadly. There were also two children crying.

Ji Xiaohan woke up at six o'clock and kept staring at his daughter's sleeping face. She was really like a little pig. She was white and tender and very cute.

He reached out and held his daughter gently in his arms. Only then did he feel that his heart was not so desolate.

The little guy seemed to like sleeping in his arms. In a daze, he murmured, "Daddy!"

Ji Xiaohan could not help but smile and comfort her gently. "Xiaonai, sleep for a while."

"Yes!" The little guy rubbed his palm contentedly. Then, he hugged one of his arms and continued to sleep.

As the beginning of winter arrived, the seasons changed and even the weather changed.

Dark clouds covered the sun and shrouded the entire city in a gloomy atmosphere.

Tang Youyou woke up early. Because she knew that the old lady would definitely come very early.

However, when she pushed the door open and came out, Ji Xiaohan was leaning against the corridor. He had not changed his clothes and was only wearing a gray robe. He held a cigarette in his hand and seemed to be in a bad mood.

When he saw Tang Youyou, he locked his eyes on her and continued to smoke.

Tang Youyou saw his worried look and immediately walked over to ask with concern, "Why are you up so early? And you even smoked? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

You woke up so early too. Is something the matter? " Ji Xiaohan did not expect Tang Youyou to wake up earlier than usual. His eyes were slightly dark.

Tang Youyou smiled faintly. "I can't sleep. But I see that you seem to have encountered something. Is there a problem with your work?"

Ji Xiaohan shook his head. "No, Youyou. I want to talk to you."

Tang Youyou was stunned when she heard him say that.

Just as she was about to agree, she heard the old lady's voice from the stairs. "Youyou, is that you? Are you up?"

Tang Youyou seemed to be a little happy when she saw the old lady. She could only say to Ji Xiaohan, "We can talk about our matters later. I have something more important to discuss with your grandma."2

"Youyou..." Ji Xiaohan was shocked. He immediately reached over and pulled her wrist.

Tang Youyou turned around and looked at him in surprise. Then she smiled. "Alright, just wait for me for a while. I'll be right over!"

Ji Xiaohan looked at her comforting smile. His heart was full of worries, but he did not know how to say it. He could only look at her in despair as she gently shook off his big palm and quickly walked downstairs.

Downstairs, the old lady was standing at the stairs in full spirit with a pair of gold-framed reading glasses. When she saw Tang Youyou, she immediately revealed a trace of a smile. "Youyou, I want to see that jade pendant of yours last time. Is it okay? Because it might be from an old friend of mine."

"Really?" Tang Youyou did not see the hidden meaning in the old lady's eyes. She only thought that the old lady really wanted to help her find her biological parents.

"Yes. Is your jade pendant still there?" The old lady asked tentatively.

In fact, the old lady was worried that Tang Youyou knew something and deliberately hid the jade pendant so that she would not see it.

This meant that Tang Youyou was not as innocent as she appeared to be.

"I'm sorry, grandma. The jade pendant is missing and I don't know where it went. Uncle Yun suspected that it was taken by a servant who resigned and left.

The old lady immediately understood. "Why did the servant only take your jade pendant? "If she really opened your drawer, there would be a lot of valuable things inside. Any piece of jewelry Xiaohan gave you would be worth a lot more than your ancient jade pendant."

Tang Youyou smiled bitterly. Yes, I think so too. But Uncle Yun said that the maid is a little old and may not have seen much of the world. She only feels that gold and jade are worth a lot of money... "

"That's not very possible. Ji Family hiring maids is very strict. Furthermore, the servants who are on duty are all trained. As for those servants who have never seen the world, how can they enter our Ji Family?" The old lady instantly realized that this was an excuse that Tang Youyou found. Her evaluation of her was immediately lowered.

Tang Youyou was speechless for a moment.

"Grandma, actually, you don't have to find that jade pendant, right? I also have pictures on my phone. I took pictures of both sides. If you want to look, you can also look." Tang Youyou felt that the old lady seemed to suspect that she intentionally lost the jade pendant, so she could only tell her that there were pictures on her phone.

She hoped to use this to dispel the old lady's suspicions.

It was just that it was very strange. She was the one who lost the jade pendant. She was already sad enough. Why did the old lady blame her in such a tone?

The old lady's eyes were a little stunned. After that, her opinion of Tang Youyou disappeared all of a sudden.

If Tang Youyou did not intentionally hide the jade pendant from her, then it proved that she had really lost it.

Tang Youyou had already taken out her phone, flipped to the photo, and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady stared at her face and took her phone.

When she saw the two clear photos, she was shocked. She seemed to be in disbelief. She even pushed the glasses on her nose so that she could see the tiny patterns more clearly.

Her old body was a little unsteady. She raised her head and looked into Tang Youyou's eyes with a complicated look.

Tang Youyou asked her expectantly, "Grandma, have you really seen this jade pendant?"
