Deeply in Love: The Two-Faced CEO is Too Clingy

Chapter 432 The Familiar Jade Pendant

Chapter 432 The Familiar Jade Pendant

Jiang Mengru smiled sweetly and said, "I had never been in the kitchen before. I only started learning to cook after I met Shaojun."

Yue Yirou was moved by Jiang Mengru's love for Xu Shaojun: "If Young Master Xu knew how much you love him, he would be very touched."

She never imagined that Jiang Mengru's love for Xu Shaojun had reached such a deep level. She hoped that Xu Shaojun also truly loved her and would truly settle down and purify himself.

During the meal, Jiang Mengru kept putting food on Yue Yirou's plate and urging her to eat more. Yue Yirou was touched again. Having a friend like Jiang Mengru was truly her good fortune.

"Mengru, don't just keep putting food on my plate, you should eat more too."

As Yue Yirou spoke, she placed a piece of chicken into Jiang Mengru's bowl. Her gaze inadvertently fell on the pendant Jiang Mengru was wearing around her neck. She had never seen Jiang Mengru wearing anything around her neck before, and couldn't help but ask, "Mengru, is that pendant you're wearing a gift from Young Master Xu?"

Jiang Mengru lowered her eyes to look at the pendant she was wearing around her neck, and said sweetly, "This is Shaojun's pendant. I saw that it was very pretty, but he doesn't like to wear it, so I took it out and put it on."

"This pendant is really beautiful. It's a piece of crystal-clear white jade. Let me take it out and show it to you."

Jiang Mengru put down her chopsticks and reached out to take the pendant out of her collar. A flawless jade pendant caught Yue Yirou's eye, and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

She was so familiar with this jade pendant.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Jiang Mengru asked Yue Yirou with a smile, holding the pendant in her hand. But when she saw Yue Yirou's strange expression, her smile froze. "Yirou, what's wrong?"

Yue Yirou barely came to her senses and stammered, "N-nothing, Mengru, Ye is still waiting for me at home, I'll go back first."

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: Xu Shaojun was Lu Tingyun.

No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity with his aura.

She needed to leave this place quickly, rush back to Xingye Pavilion, and return to Yan Ye's side.

Yue Yirou, somewhat disoriented, put down her chopsticks, stood up, walked to the sofa, picked up her bag, and stumbled toward the door.

Seeing her like this, how could Jiang Mengru remain seated? She stood up, rushed over, and grabbed Yue Yirou's arm: "Yirou, what's wrong with you?"

She needed to find out exactly what was wrong with her.

Why did she react this way when she saw Shaojun's pendant? Could it be related to her?

"Mengru, let go of me, I want to go back."

She didn't know if Lu Tingyun would take this opportunity to kidnap her; all she knew was that she had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Jiang Mengru gripped her arms tightly with both hands: "I won't let go unless you tell me what's wrong with you first? You were perfectly fine just now, why did you turn into this as soon as you saw Shaojun's pendant? Yirou, tell me the truth, do you recognize this pendant?"

Yue Yirou didn't know how to tell her. Should she tell her that Xu Shaojun was a fake? Should she tell her that the man she loved was just using her?

She couldn't believe it, and she couldn't bear such a blow.

"Mengru, I'll call you after I get back to Xingye Pavilion, okay? Let me go first."

She tried to pry Jiang Mengru's hands off, but Jiang Mengru held them tightly with both hands, and she couldn't break free for a while, so anxious that she almost cried.

How to do?

"Just tell me, do you recognize this pendant?" What she wanted to know most now was whether this pendant had anything to do with her.

Yue Yirou was in a hurry to leave, so she had no choice but to tell her, "Yes, I recognize this pendant. Not only do I recognize it, but I am very familiar with it."

Not only do we know each other, but we're also quite familiar with each other?

What does it mean?

Jiang Mengru was stunned. Taking advantage of this moment, Yue Yirou broke free from her hand, ran quickly to the door, opened it, and ran out.

She rushed to the elevator, and just as she was about to press the button, she saw on the display screen that the elevator was going up, and it had just reached the ninth floor.

She is currently on the tenth floor.

For some reason, her intuition told her that the person in the elevator was either Lu Tingyun or someone Lu Tingyun had sent to capture her.

With the elevator about to reach the tenth floor, she didn't have time to press the other elevator button and quickly ran to the fire escape staircase next to her.

She had just run into the fire escape staircase when she heard the elevator doors open. She hid behind the doors, pressed herself against the wall, and didn't dare to breathe.

Soon, the people in the elevator came out. Only after they passed the stairwell did Yue Yirou dare to cautiously peek halfway out from the crack in the door.

She saw two men dressed in the uniforms of a logistics company walking towards Jiang Mengru and Lu Tingyun's "love nest".

Her instinct was right.

Without further hesitation, she took off her shoes, ran down the stairs to the next floor, and then pressed the elevator button.

The moment Yue Yirou stepped into the elevator, the two men upstairs, dressed in uniforms from a logistics company, were ringing the doorbell.

Hearing the doorbell ring, Jiang Mengru snapped out of her daze and walked over to open the door, looking utterly dejected.

As soon as Yue Yirou entered the elevator, she took out her phone and called Xia.

The phone Yan Ye customized for her also had a signal in the elevator.

However, Xia was doing something and didn't answer her call. In the blink of an eye, the elevator reached the first floor. Yue Yirou continued to call Xia as she walked out. When she looked up, she saw a car with a logistics company logo parked outside the apartment. There were figures moving inside the car, and more than one. She quickly slipped into the fire escape staircase next to her.

"Hey, who are you? Why are you barging into my house?"

As soon as Jiang Mengru opened the door, two men dressed in logistics company uniforms barged in and closed the door behind them.

After quickly scanning the room and not seeing Yue Yirou, one of the men turned to Jiang Mengru and asked, "Where is Miss Yue?"

"Miss Yue? Are you looking for Yi Rou? What do you want with her?" Jiang Mengru leaned against the wall, looking at the two people in front of her with a wary expression.

The two men exchanged glances and then said, "We were sent by Young Master Ye. He misses Miss Yue and sent us to take her back."

Yan Ye is absolutely capable of sending people to arrest Yue Yirou and bring her back.

Jiang Mengru lowered her guard, but remembering Yue Yirou's reaction to the pendant and her words before she left, she seemed a little disappointed: "Yirou just left."

"Miss Yue just left?" The two men were clearly surprised, their faces filled with shock. "When did she leave?"

"Just now, a minute before you knocked on the door, didn't you see her?"

"Didn't see it."

The two men didn't believe Jiang Mengru's words and began searching the room.

Jiang Mengru did not stop her. She silently walked to the sofa, sat down, took off the pendant from her neck, put it on the coffee table, and then stared at the pendant.

Yi Rou said she recognized the pendant and was very familiar with it. What does that mean?

This is Shaojun's pendant. How could she recognize it and be so familiar with it?
