The smile on Gu Xiruo's face froze for a moment. She looked at Lu Lingfeng with a frown on her face, seeming a little distressed: "Lingfeng, it's been so many years, why do you care so much about a jade pendant? Am I not as important as a jade pendant?"
If she had said this in the past, Lu Lingfeng would definitely feel distressed and would not talk about this topic anymore.
This time is definitely the same.
However, this time Lu Lingfeng did not follow up on this question as Gu Xiruo had expected. Instead, he looked at her sharply.
"Xi Ruo, this jade pendant is really useful to me. Otherwise, why would I ask you for it? Haven't I given you enough over the years? For you, I even gave up my identity as the young master of the Lu family." Lu Lingfeng said with some disappointment, lowering his eyes.
This sentence put Gu Xiruo in a difficult position, but Lu Lingfeng had been so good to her over the years that she couldn't say anything to refute.
"Ling Feng, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood me." Gu Xiruo said aggrievedly with her head down.
Over the years, she has always known how to soften a man's heart and how to attract a man's attention.
Seeing Gu Xiruo like this, Lu Lingfeng suddenly laughed: "Xiruo, tell me the truth, where is the jade pendant?"
Seeing Lu Lingfeng like this, Gu Xiruo knew that he would not let it go if he didn't see the jade pendant today, so she could only say aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, Lingfeng."
Lu Lingfeng looked at Gu Xiruo, who looked so pitiful and aggrieved. If it were in the past, he would definitely hold her in his arms and coax her, but today she looked so pretentious.
What was he thinking before
"What happens after you say sorry?" Lu Lingfeng asked Gu Xiruo calmly.
Gu Xiruo couldn't pretend to be wronged anymore. Shouldn't Lu Lingfeng hug her and comfort her? Why did he say such a thing
"Ling Feng, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiruo, this jade pendant is really important to me now. Only if I get everything from the Lu family can I better protect you." Lu Lingfeng looked helpless, and that helplessness was accompanied by a feeling of fatigue that was not understood by Gu Xiruo.
Gu Xiruo had never seen Lu Lingfeng like this before, and she was happy to know that he was really doing this for her.
"Or Xiruo, do you really want to marry Qing Yukong?"

Gu Xiruo didn't expect Lu Lingfeng to talk about this, but she was relieved that he didn't continue talking about the jade pendant.
She had never thought of marrying Qing Yukong, let alone Lu Lingfeng, especially after meeting Lou Manqing, these two men were nothing more than more pawns to her.
Now everything she has is managed by Lu Lingfeng. If she falls out with Lu Lingfeng, she will suffer heavy losses.
And Lu Lingfeng must not know about the jade pendant, otherwise everything will be over.
"Lingfeng, how can you say such things? You know I don't want to." Gu Xiruo's tears fell like crazy, and she looked at Lu Lingfeng with a look of grievance as if she was misunderstood.
Gu Xiruo knew very well that Lu Lingfeng couldn't bear to see her like this. Every time she was like this, Lu Lingfeng would immediately come to coax her. She believed that this time would be no exception.
However, Gu Xiruo was disappointed. Lu Lingfeng did not coax her immediately, and said, "Xiruo, that's not what I meant. I want the jade pendant for our own good."
Gu Xiruo was secretly resentful and wondered if Lu Lingfeng knew something, otherwise why would he keep talking about the jade pendant.
"Xi Ruo, tell me the truth where the jade pendant is." Lu Lingfeng asked with a frown.
"Ling Feng, I'm sorry that I accidentally lost the jade pendant." After saying that, she started crying again.

Seeing Gu Xiruo crying without asking for anything in return, Lu Lingfeng showed a rare hint of disgust in his eyes.
Why did he feel so distressed when he saw it before
"Did you lose it or do you not have the jade pendant at all?" Lu Lingfeng didn't want to be hypocritical with Gu Xi, so he asked directly.
Gu Xiruo's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Lu Lingfeng, she had a bad feeling in her heart. He seemed to know what was going on.
"Ling Feng, I don't know what you are talking about."
"You don't know what I'm talking about? The person who saved me was not you at all. You just took the credit for someone else's work. Am I right?" He hasn't found out who the real person who saved him was, but that person was definitely not Gu Xiruo.
She had deceived him for so many years, and he was too stupid to be deceived for so long and be willing to be her subordinate for so many years.
Gu Xiruo kept shaking her head: "Ling Feng, you really misunderstood me, I didn't."
Lu Lingfeng didn't want to listen to her excuses, so he laid out all the evidence in front of Gu Xiruo: "Then explain what's going on."
When Gu Xiruo saw the evidence that Lu Lingfeng had found, her face turned pale.

Why would he check this matter
Who is against her
If no one had said anything in front of Lu Lingfeng, why would she suddenly investigate these things
No wonder he has been insisting on having a jade pendant recently.
She doesn't even have the jade pendant, how could she take it out
"Ling Feng, just because I'm not the one who saved you, do you dislike me and don't want to help me?"
Hearing Gu Xiruo's words, Lu Lingfeng said viciously: "Gu Xiruo, you deceived me so much."
"Lingfeng, I didn't mean it. Can you please forgive me?" Gu Xiruo knew that it was useless to say anything now, and she could only use the feelings they had over the years to make Lu Lingfeng forgive her.
"Forgive?" Lu Lingfeng suddenly reached out and pinched Gu Xiruo's chin, his eyes full of anger.
Because of saving her life, he lowered himself to accompany her, helped her with business and made money so that she could become a genius praised by everyone. But now he is told that all this is a joke.
"Seeing me being so sincere to you, are you very proud of me? Do you secretly think that I'm a fool? That you've deceived me?" How good he was to Gu Xiruo over the years, how much he hated her now.
"Lingfeng, you misunderstood me. I didn't think so." At most, she felt superior by treating Lu Lingfeng as a chess piece.
But I never thought that Lu Lingfeng was a fool.
"Have you ever thought about it that way? Gu Xiruo, who is the one who really saved me?"
Gu Xiruo kept shaking her head: "I... I don't know."
Even if she knew, she wouldn't tell anyone. That person no longer lived in the Gu family.
And she was the one who planned to leave.
If Lu Lingfeng knew about this, she would definitely have a hard time.
"Gu Xiruo, you'd better not lie to me. I don't want your things from all these years, but if I find out anything, you'll die." Lu Lingfeng pushed Gu Xiruo away and left with a cold face.
Gu Xiruo fell to the ground and stared blankly at Lu Lingfeng leaving.
Everything was fine for so many years, how come Lu Lingfeng suddenly knew about it.
She didn't doubt at all that Lu Lingfeng was joking. Lu Lingfeng was capable of doing such a thing.
He clenched his hands subconsciously, his eyes full of unwillingness. That bitch was as shameless as Wang Jinhe. Even after leaving, she still affected Lu Lingfeng's heart.
Although she never thought of marrying Lu Lingfeng, she always regarded Lu Lingfeng as her property.
