After severely slapping the Lu family mother and daughter in the face, the depressed mood caused by Lu Qinghao's threat finally eased a lot.
Arriving at Lanwan Yayuan, Tang Xinluo gave the four boxes she brought back from the Lu family to Aunt Zhang and put them away. Then she returned to the bedroom and carefully took out the small blue box from her bag.
After opening the small blue box, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the yellow crystal necklace that was as big as a pebble.
"Mommy..."
This was the necklace she had been wearing around her neck for as long as she could remember.
Mommy once said that this necklace contains her deepest love for herself, so it must not be lost no matter what.
She also reminded herself to keep it with her.
When she was a child, Tang Xinluo rarely took off her necklace except when taking a bath.
But one time, she accidentally lost the necklace, and it took a long time before her mother found it for her.
That was also the first time she saw her mommy get angry.
The little girl didn't understand why, but she remembered the value of the necklace.
So, from then on, she no longer dared to wear the necklace outside, and instead kept it in a jewelry box until she married into the Lu family.
The white and slender fingers stroked the oval yellow crystal diamond surface, the left index finger pressed the specific cutting point on the diamond surface, and the right middle finger clasped the back of the necklace and tapped it three times, but the expected situation did not happen.
What's going on
Why can't it be opened?!
Tang Xinluo anxiously tried twice more, and found that no matter how she pressed the mechanism, the yellow crystal facet still did not pop open, so she finally squinted her eyes.
Lu Qinghao... She was deceived by him!
Except for her and her mother, no one knew that the necklace was actually double-layered, and no one knew how to open the necklace.
Lu Qinghao... He actually used a fake necklace to exchange for 20 million!
Tang Xinluo suddenly realized that he had been fooled. Annoyance rushed to his heart, and his stomach suddenly had a nauseous cramp.
"Um..." She covered her mouth uncomfortably, and the moment she lowered her head, her eyes fell on the necklace.
A deep feeling of regret and humiliation made her eyes red. She suddenly grabbed the necklace and prepared to throw it out of the window.
But just as his right hand was raised, it suddenly dropped again.
No, she couldn't throw it.
Not only could she not throw it away, she also couldn't let Lu Qinghao know that she had discovered it.
Lu Qinghao didn't know the secret of the necklace, so he must have thought he had been fooled. The real necklace was kept in his hands, probably to threaten her again in the future.
In that case, she might as well exchange the fake for the real thing.
Having made up her mind, Tang Xinluo suppressed her nausea and put the necklace away. Just as she put it away, Aunt Zhang came knocking on the door.
Aunt Zhang came in and found that she looked unwell. She spoke with concern, "Madam, do you want to eat something? You haven't eaten anything since noon. This is not good for your health."
"No need, Aunt Zhang. Yuchen said he would come back for dinner in the evening. I'll wait for him."
It was rare for Lu Yuchen to say he wanted to come back for dinner, so she wanted to wait for him.
"Even if you don't want to eat, you still have to eat something to fill your stomach. There is stewed bird's nest in the kitchen. It is light and doesn't smell that strong. Eat some first and then eat together when the young master comes back."
Tang Xinluo knew that Aunt Zhang had good intentions, so she could only go downstairs with her.
Who would have thought that she almost vomited out the bird's nest before she even put it in her mouth, as soon as it was placed in front of her.
"Young Madam... are you okay? Eat something sour to calm your nerves." Aunt Zhang was also frightened by Tang Xinluo's reaction, and immediately had the bird's nest taken away.
"I'm fine... um... I'll be fine in a while..."
"Who said it's okay? You've turned pale... Madam, this won't work. How about I make a phone call and ask the young master to come back early?"
"Don't hit him." Tang Xinluo held Aunt Zhang's hand, "He said he would be back after get off work. Now is working time, don't disturb him."
"But… "
"It's okay. Lu Yuchen is not a doctor. If you ask him to come back, I will still vomit. It will be useless even if he comes back."
Mrs. Zhang thought about it and decided not to call.
As a result, they waited until the evening. (To be continued)
