Chapter 47 Jade Necklace
A city beach villa.
Nan Zhuoyuan finished the tea in his hand in one gulp, staring at his phone, muttering to himself.
"Why hasn't Nanyu called me yet?"
Li Xue picked up her phone and flipped through the call logs. There was no unfamiliar number. "Honey, did you give the wrong number?"
Nan Zhuoyuan sullenly said, "Impossible. I checked it carefully ten times and only gave it to her friend after I confirmed it was correct."
Li Xue paused while scrolling the screen and tilted her head to look at him, "Are you sure her friend gave it to Nan Yu? What if she didn't?"
Nan Zhuoyuan frowned, and there was an oppressive chill in his eyes behind his lenses.
"Li Chuan asked Nan Yu's friend, and she said she had given it to him. Besides, she wouldn't lie about such a thing."
Li Xue thought it made sense. After a moment of silence, she bit her lip and her eyes darkened.
"Hubby, we don't have much time. Waiting like this is not a solution. I have an idea now."
Nan Zhuoyuan turned his head and looked at her, "What's your idea?"
Li Xue showed her fair neck, her expression extremely serious, "Hubby, since Nan Yu refuses to call us, let's go to Nan's house to meet her."
"But we can't be so blatant. We have to find an excuse, such as visiting and saying we want to meet all of Nan Qingqing's family, including Nan Yu."
Nan Zhuoyuan's eyes sparkled and a smile appeared on his face. He continued, "I'll find an opportunity to secretly talk to Nan Yu about this, and everything will be easy after that."
Li Xue nodded and smiled gently, "Yes."
Nan Zhuoyuan hugged her and said, "Wife, I'm lucky to have you. I'll call Nan Qingqing now and tell her that we'll visit her tomorrow."
Li Xue held his hand and said, "Don't worry, you called in advance to give them a chance to prevent us from seeing Nan Yu."
Nan Zhuoyuan understood, "Then we will catch them off guard and go directly there tomorrow afternoon. When we are almost there, we will tell Nan Qingqing and ask them to call Nan Yu back."
But he still had doubts in his heart, "What if they don't agree to call Nan Yu back?"
Li Xue held his hand and said, "It's okay. Even if we don't see her, at least we have some information. We can use this opportunity to find out where Nan Yu is."
Nan Zhuoyuan nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The next day, two o'clock in the afternoon.
Meng Yi appeared at the door of the Nan family, holding an exquisite box in his hand. When he saw Nan Qingqing opening the door, he immediately smiled.
"Qingqing, I came here specially to thank you."
Nan Qingqing made way and pretended to be surprised, "Xiaoyi, I'm helping you because we are friends. You don't have to be so polite."
Nan Qingqing sat on the sofa, took out the things in her hand, and placed them carefully on the coffee table.
"Qingqing, we agreed before that if you ask your eldest brother to introduce a lawyer to me, I will give you this jade necklace. I brought it to you today specially."
After that, she took out the jewelry box and opened it carefully.
A pure emerald green necklace lay on it, sparkling in the sunlight, exuding the freshness of spring.
Nan Qingqing stared at him without moving her eyes. After a long while, she finally uttered a sentence:
"gorgeous."
Meng Yi pushed the jade necklace in front of Nan Qingqing, "Qingqing, accept it."
Nan Qingqing reached out and touched the icy necklace, trying her best to suppress the impulse in her heart and pretending to be embarrassed.
"Xiaoyi, I can't accept this. I'm helping you because you helped me before, and we're friends. I don't plan to take this necklace from you."
She pushed it back to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi lowered his eyes, picked up the jade necklace, and put it directly around Nan Qingqing's neck.
"Qingqing, this jade necklace is not only to thank you, but also a gift to celebrate your becoming the daughter of the Nan family. You must accept it."
"What's more, I'm waiting for you to introduce me to the Ghost Doctor and become his apprentice."
"You don't want to accept the necklace. You can't be lying to me, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Qingqing's cell phone rang.
