Looking at He Rong’s instantly dispirited expression, Le Yao sighed slightly. As the saying went, what goes around comes around. If He Rong had paid attention to her son back then, she wouldn’t be in such a predicament now.

“Ah Jue.” He Rong’s tears fell. “I wanted to love you properly, but…” But she didn’t know how to love anyone at all.

Nangong Jue lowered his eyes.

Le Yao held Nangong Jue’s hand back. She knew that this man had yearned for his mother’s embrace since he was young. Although he had acted very tough, it was just to prevent himself from continuing to be hurt.

If possible, she really hoped that the mother and son could fix their relationship.

Of course, she was not a saint. If she hadn’t really changed completely, she wouldn’t have bothered with someone like He Rong.

“I… I didn’t want to make a fuss.” He Rong sniffed.

“If you want to stay in Xiling City, go live in Zeyu Garden.” Nangong Jue softened his attitude in the end. “Uncle Bai won’t treat you badly there.”

“I…” He Rong wanted to say that she wanted to stay with them, but in the end, she didn’t dare to. Instead, she nodded. “Okay.” She would stay in Zeyu Garden first. Anyway, she didn’t want to go back to Beijing.

Nangong Jue heaved a sigh of relief. He was actually really afraid that she would continue to cause trouble. It was best to reach an agreement peacefully like this.

“Lan.” He Rong took out a box from her leather bag. “Since you’re married to Ah Jue, whether you admit it or not, I’m still your mother-in -law. This is a gift.” With that, she placed something on the table and left in her high heels.

Le Yao looked at Nangong Jue.

Nangong Jue picked up the box and opened it. It was actually an ancient-looking jade pendant.

When Le Yao was a tour guide, she learned a lot of miscellaneous things. Although she was not good at any niche, she knew a little about everything. For example, this jade artifact. Sometimes, when she went to jade-producing places to travel, it was necessary to buy souvenirs. If she did not know anything about jade artifacts, how could she introduce them to customers?

Therefore, she could tell at a glance that this was an ancient jade.

The so-called ancient jade referred to ancient beautiful stones. In modern society, jade artifacts before the Han Dynasty were usually called “ancient jade”.

Nangong Jue looked at Le Yao’s shining eyes and couldn’t help but laugh. “You like it?”

“Nangong Jue, this is ancient jade. Do you know what ancient jade is? It’s a jade artifact from before the Han Dynasty. And this…” Le Yao swallowed. “If I’m not wrong, it should be from the Chunqiu period, right?”

“Oh? Why?”

“Look at the patterns on this jade pendant. This should be a double-headed venomous sea snake. Such patterns were popular in the Chunqiu period, but they were rarely used later…” “You know your stuff.” Nangong Jue smiled. “This is the Yu family’s heirloom.”

“Yu family?” Le Yao frowned. Where this this Yu family come from?

“My grandmother’s name is Yu Lijun. She was the Young Lady of the Yu family. The Yu family was a rich business family from Nanyang at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Later on, they returned to the country and ran an industrial business to support the resistance war… Later on, in that turbulence, the Yu family’s composition was not good and they were forced to travel overseas again. My grandfather was a good person. He married my grandmother and protected her… In the end, the Yu family encountered a shipwreck and they were all gone after that…”

Le Yao couldn’t help but sigh. The calamity back then was really… Forget it, it was all history. Let’s not mention it.. “Then why did she give me such a precious thing?”
