Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: The Jade Pendant, Can't You Give It To Me?

Jiang Xuxu had asked Jiang Huai for the address to contact the driver, so it wasn't surprising that Jiang Huai would come over.

Jiang Su, however, didn't know. Seeing Jiang Huai, he suddenly hid behind Jiang Xuxu like a mouse seeing a cat.

"This time it's really not my fault!"

While speaking, he didn't forget to tug at Jiang Xuxu's sleeve, "Sister! Sister, please help me explain to Brother Huai."

Jiang Huai raised an eyebrow secretly as he watched Jiang Su's small actions. Then, he saw Jiang Xuxu really explain,

"Yeah, it's not his fault."

Jiang Huai thought to himself, if it's not his fault, then whose fault could it be? His gaze suddenly fell on Lu Xuexi, who was lying on the ground next to him.

So, this is the cause of the trouble?

However, looking at the seven people lying on the ground in front of him, he didn't have the mind to investigate further.

It was good as long as the people were okay.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and took the seven people on the rooftop, along with Chun Chun downstairs, to the hospital.

Hearing that something had happened to Lu Xuexi, Jiang Han and Jiang Cheng rushed over quickly. After hearing the details of the incident and seeing that Xuexi was unconscious while Jiang Su was unharmed, they couldn't help but question him,

"What's wrong with you?! You didn't protect her properly when you went out with Xuexi?"

"Xuexi usually cares about you so much. If you had any conscience, you wouldn't have let her get into trouble. How are you going to explain to Grandma when she comes back to see you?"

Jiang Su originally wanted to tell his two cousins about his thrilling experience today, but he was suddenly bombarded with questions. He was so angry that his face turned red,

"What do you know?!"

"How do you know I didn't protect her?!"

"Why don't you ask her what happened at that time..."

Jiang Su was a teenager after all. Being questioned like this for no reason, he was both angry and aggrieved, but he didn't say anything more. He just turned his head and ran away angrily.

Jiang Han and Jiang Cheng felt that Jiang Su had done something wrong and didn't dare to take responsibility, so they ignored him.

Jiang Xuxu didn't know what was happening in the ward. She had just gone to the other wards to see, and casually dispelled the remaining Yin Qi on their bodies.

Just as she walked back, she saw Jiang Su storm out of the ward in a huff, and turned around and entered the safety passage door.

Inside the safety stairs, Jiang Su angrily wiped away the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand.

It wasn't that he was so delicate that he couldn't even be told off a few times. He just felt wronged and sad.

Although he had impulsively agreed to enter the building for the competition at the time, he had been paying attention to his surroundings.

When those silken threads suddenly appeared, none of them had reacted.

Seeing that some people were already being entangled, his first reaction was to pull Lu Xuexi and run. Even when those silken threads were about to entangle Lu Xuexi, he pounced over to block them for her.

As a result... the moment he saw his feet being entangled, Lu Xuexi directly broke free from his hand and ran away.

Instead, Chun Chun pounced over to help him, and as a result, both of them were entangled.

How did he break free from those silken threads later?

He remembered that it was as if the soles of his feet were suddenly burnt. Then, the silken threads that were originally entangling him suddenly broke. He took the opportunity to carry Chun Chun, who had already been entangled into a cocoon, and ran away...

The situation was critical at the time, so he didn't have time to think too much. Now that he thought about it, Jiang Su immediately took off his shoes to check.

As a result, he saw a layer of black ash on his insoles. It was obvious that something had been burned. Taking a closer look, there was still a small piece of yellow paper in the corner.

Seeing the yellow paper, Jiang Su subconsciously thought of the yellow talisman that Jiang Xuxu used, and his heart seemed to understand something.

His eyes suddenly turned even redder.

So, he had been saved by Jiang Xuxu from the beginning.

She had clearly reminded him, but he just didn't listen. He insisted on going out with Lu Xuexi. As a result, she was not only not angry, but also secretly stuffed a yellow talisman under his shoe to protect him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Su couldn't help but cry even harder.

This time, he was moved.

Not only moved, but also regretful.

He had targeted her so much before, and even joined forces with Jiang Han and those two idiots to force her to leave home. She was still willing to help him...

"sobbing sound..."

As he was crying, the sound of a door being pushed open suddenly came from behind him. Jiang Su was so frightened that he shuddered and instantly stopped crying.

Turning his head to look, it was actually Jiang Xuxu.

He widened his eyes in surprise, but forgot that he was still crying just now. Jiang family's genes were already good, and Jiang Su's appearance had some semblance of a handsome young man to begin with. At this moment, his eyes were red, and even his eyelashes were hanging with tears.

At first glance, he had the meaning of a fragile, handsome young man.

Jiang Xuxu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Jiang Su's face turned red instantly.

He was both embarrassed and shy, "What are you doing here?"

After the words came out, he realized that his tone seemed a little 충 (chōng, sharp), and immediately softened his voice,

"I didn't say that you can't come here. I mean, if you want to come here for a breath of fresh air, I, I'll give you the place."

Having seen Jiang Xuxu's ability, Jiang Su was now completely convinced of Jiang Xuxu. But thinking of his previous attitude towards her, thinking that she must look down on him, he couldn't bring himself to call her "Sister" again, even though he had been calling it so smoothly in the teaching building.

"I came to find you."

As Jiang Xuxu spoke, she suddenly reached out to him, "The jade pendant that I lent you for self-defense before, it's time to return it to me."

Her attitude was so cold that it was as if the two of them hadn't faced adversity together before.

Jiang Su's eyes turned red again in an instant, but he subconsciously protected the jade pendant around his neck, and forgot his previous grievances and regrets, looking at her eagerly,

"Th-this jade pendant, wasn't it given to me?"

The same as the ones given to Brother Huai and Granduncle.

Jiang Xuxu glanced at him, "It was just temporarily lent to you, I didn't say I was giving it to you."

Jiang Su knew that what she said was true, but he didn't want to give it.

Not only because wearing this jade pendant could really protect him, but also because he wanted her to accept him.

"Sister, Sister, this jade pendant, can't you give it to me?"

Fearing that she wouldn't agree, he quickly said,

"I was ignorant before, Sister, I will definitely not go against you in the future. I'll do whatever you tell me to do..."

Jiang Xuxu just looked at him like that, "You really want it?"

Jiang Su nodded vigorously.

He wanted it!

Jiang Xuxu then handed her hand to him again, opening her mouth, like a heartless accounting tool,

"The jade pendant is 200,000, plus the reward for this time, four Thunder Talismans are 400,000, for a total of 600,000. We accept bank card transfers and Bao transfers."

Based on his previous attitude towards her, saving him was already out of consideration for their family relationship. Jiang Xuxu would naturally not calculate less for the accounts that should be calculated with him.

Jiang Su also knew that he hadn't performed well before. He didn't refuse after hearing that he had to pay, but he trembled all over,

"My money is all in WeChat, Sister, why don't we add each other as friends first, and I'll transfer it to you."

Jiang Xuxu saw through the young man's careful thoughts with just one glance, and didn't expose him. She took out her phone and directly added the other party as a friend.

Jiang Su's face was obviously happy as he looked at the friend page that had been approved. Not daring to delay, he quickly transferred 600,000 over.

Jiang Xuxu unceremoniously clicked to accept, and her eyes curved slightly when she saw the amount credited.

She was happy about the income, and also sighed that the Jiang family was really so rich that even a child was this wealthy.

600,000, given away without batting an eyelid.

tsk.

The two returned to the ward. Lu Xuexi had already woken up. There was a moment of embarrassment when she saw Jiang Su, but she quickly returned to normal, smiled and reached out to him, her eyes full of worry,

"Xiao Su, I was so worried when I didn't see you after waking up. Are you okay?"
