Xia Yanxi didn't wait for Qi Chonghai's response at all, she turned around and was about to leave.

Qi Chonghai was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but now he couldn't find a chance to punish Xia Yanxi.

Ji Beimu was in the hall, his dark gaze crossed the crowd, and fell on the petite figure who was fleeing quickly.

Reminiscing about what happened just now, the man's thin lips couldn't help but smile.

Not long after Xia Yanxi left, Ji Beimu also left.

No matter how hard Qi Chonghai and Qi Mengyue tried to persuade them to stay, the man never turned his head to look at them.

"Grandpa! What should I do?" Qi Mengyue looked at her drenched and embarrassed appearance, and her face was distorted with anger.

Xia Yanxi ruined her good birthday party and everything grandpa had carefully prepared for her!
Qi Chonghai was also so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and he couldn't help but use his strength to hold the crutch, "It seems that I really underestimated her! This Xia Yanxi, I can't stay any longer!"

Xia Yanxi returned home and combined Qi Mengyue's star jade pendant with the jade pendant left by her mother.

Sure enough, a complete star shape was formed!

But, what kind of jade does this star jade pendant have?
Xia Yanxi couldn't understand it.

The next day, just as she entered the school gate, she was stopped by Qi Mengyue.

"Xia Yanxi! Give me back my things!" Qi Mengyue's eyes gleamed coldly, looking at her eyes full of hatred.

Xia Yanxi raised her eyebrows, "I would like to admit defeat, the gold was originally a bet made by your grandfather, what right do you have to go back now?"

"I'm not talking about the gold!" Qi Mengyue took a step forward, staring at her neck, only to see that Xia Yanxi's fair neck was empty.

But she still stubbornly stretched out her hand to Xia Yanxi, "Stop pretending in front of me, where is my jade pendant? You must have taken my jade pendant away yesterday when I fell into the lake!"

When she calmed down last night and found that the jade pendant was gone, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Grandpa had told her that the jade pendant had a very important value.

If she lost it, the loss would be greater than the tens of millions of gold and diamonds.

She thought about it seriously, and she was sure that Xia Yanxi was the only person who had close contact with the person she had the chance to snatch the jade pendant from last night!

Xia Yanxi narrowed her starry eyes slightly, taking a panoramic view of Qi Mengyue's tense face at the moment.

It seems that she guessed right, that jade pendant must have a special meaning.

Otherwise, now Qi Mengyue is not here to ask her for a jade pendant, but to ask her for those gold and diamonds.

"I didn't take your jade pendant." Xia Yanxi said without hesitation.

She doesn't like to take other people's things casually, but that jade pendant is related to her mother.

Before she finds out the secret behind that jade pendant, she can't return it hastily.

"You!" Qi Mengyue showed a sullen expression, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want after you made such a fuss at my house last night. Xia Yanxi, if you don't hand over that jade pendant within three days, you will wait Just bear the punishment!"

Seeing Qi Mengyue leaving angrily, Xia Yanxi lowered her eyebrows in thought.

Since the Xia family went bankrupt, those relatives kept a distance from them.

Now the only person who can tell her about the origin of that jade pendant is Ji Beimu.

After thinking about it, Xia Yanxi had another idea in her mind.

After school that day, Xia Yanxi went to Platinum Mansion again.

"Uncle Yan, I want to see the third master." The girl stood at the gate of the villa, stubbornly looking at the butler Yan Bo and said.

Uncle Yan didn't expect her to come again, so he could only go back to the house and ask Ji Beimu for instructions.

Xia Yanxi looked up to the second floor of the villa, the window directly opposite was Ji Beimu's room.

The details of getting along with that man slowly emerged in my mind.

In addition, Ji Beimu rubbed her sprained ankle at Qi's house last night, which gave her a little more confidence.

Ji Beimu...will still help her, right?

At this time, Uncle Yan came to the study, looked at the man sitting at the desk reviewing documents, and said cautiously: "Master, Miss Xia is here."

Hearing this, Ji Beimu stopped reviewing the documents.

"Third Master, Miss Xia is not a person who likes to stalk. This is the second time she has come to see you after she left. I think she really has something urgent to tell you."

Yan Bo had a good impression of Xia Yanxi, so he couldn't help but speak for her at the moment.

Ji Beimu pinched the center of his eyebrows, and after a while he sighed softly, "Let her in."

"Yes!" Yan Bo hurriedly told Xia Yanxi the good news.

Knowing that Ji Beimu was finally willing to see her, the girl showed sincere joy on her face.

She tightly held the jade pendant in her palm, and quickly followed Yan Bo into the study.

"Miss Xia, go in by yourself." Yan Bo led her to the door of the study room, and left first with a sense of humor.

Through the crack of the door, Xia Yanxi saw that tall figure standing by the window, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Third Master." She summoned up the courage to walk in, and closed the study door by the way.

Ji Beimu turned around, because against the light, his sharp-edged face was a bit dark.

Xia Yanxi walked over, without beating around the bush, and directly spread her palms.

"Do you remember that you gave me this piece of jade pendant before? It's in the same box as my parents' relics."

The girl's clear voice came out, and Ji Beimu looked down at the jade pendant, frowning slightly.

"Third Master, did you remember something?" Seeing his expression, Xia Yanxi felt a little hopeful in her heart.

If you want to know the secret of this jade pendant, Ji Beimu is the only way to break through.

Ji Beimu looked at the persistent inquiry on her face, and her thin lips were tightly pursed into a pale arc.

He stretched out his hand, and just when Xia Yanxi thought he was going to pick up the jade pendant for a closer inspection, the man's big palm suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"So, you two stubbornly came to me just to ask this question?" Ji Beimu's voice was full of dissatisfaction.

Xia Yanxi blinked her eyes, and asked subconsciously: "Otherwise, what does the third master want me to come for?"

It was obviously Ji Beimu who drove her away at the beginning, if she hadn't had to ask him about something now, how could she have the cheek to come back here?

"Xia Yanxi, it seems that I'm too used to you." Ji Beimu's desire to control was at work again, and he couldn't help tightening his grip on her wrist.

"It hurts! Let me go!" He complained dissatisfiedly that the girl's slender and fair wrist had already been scratched with a red mark.

She struggled to shake him off, but the man held her tighter and tighter.

Xia Yanxi knew that she had no way to break free, so she gave up and asked helplessly, "Master, what answer do you want me to give you?"

Hearing this, Ji Beimu was taken aback.

Yes!

What answer did he want from her?
