Chapter 68 The jade te reappears


    The next day, when irees to the college, she finds something unusual.


    Most of the students hide from her as if she were a monster.


    And in ss, there is no one around her except Ling.


    ire is confused.


    After school, ire knows the truth.


    She hears that Qi’s family suddenly went bankrupt.


    Of course, the students think ire got back at her. They didn’t expect ire to be so cruel.


    “This woman is very cruel.”


    “She’s the wife of Master Howard. Don’t associate with her in the future.”


    “Although Qi is a bit excessive, she should not retaliate against her family.”


    When ire hears it, she is surprised.


    Did Leo do it?


    ire goes home and asks Leo, “I want to ask you something!”


    Leo sits on the sofa and nces at ire. He lights a cigarette. “Say it.”


    “They said I did it, but I didn’t. Did you do it?”


    Leo spits out a bunch of white smoke. He doesn’t answer.


    “It’s none of your business.”


    ire says, “well, it’s none of my business. You mentioned my fatherst night. How is he doing?”


    Leo obviously didn’t expect ire to suddenly change the subject.


    He frowns. “You belong to Howard Family now.”


    “I’m his daughter anyway. I need to know about him.”


    “Then you shouldn’t ask me. You should ask your stepmother.” Leo takes a smoke and ire coughs.


    “She’s not my mother. I don’t admit it. You’re my husband. Can’t you tell me? Why keep it from me?”


    ire has someints.


    Leo snuffs out the cigarette and stands up.


    “I don’t know about your father, and I won’t tell you if I know. Are you satisfied with this answer?” Leo’s


    tone is cold again.


    ire clenches her teeth and says nothing.


    Leo, you son of a bitch!


    When ire and Leo are talking in the living room, Ling has already entered Leo’s study.


    He sits in the chair that Leo used to sit in. He turns over the papers on the desk. Most of them are


    company documents, and Ling feels bored.


    Even on Leo’s bookshelf, there are all books aboutpany management, not even a literary work.


    Ling thinks the study is an office.


    Ling opens a cupboard beside the desk. There he finds the only thing worth ying in the study.


    It’s a simple jade pendant. It’s elegant and ancient and should be priceless.


    But Ling doesn’t care about its price. He only thinks the jade pendant is pretty, so he can’t help wearing


    it on his neck.


    The warm jade sticks to his chest. He feels veryfortable.


    “I didn’t expect that my brother has these things!” Ling ys with the jade pendant and says to himself.


    Just as he is thinking about it, footstepse from the stairs.

    Ling shivers. He almost jumps up from the chair and tries to run out of the door.


    But just as he opens the door, Ling sees Leo’s cold face.


    “Didn’t I tell you not to enter my study without my permission?” Leo frowns.


    Ling is embarrassed. He nods. “I’m bored and just looking around. Why are you so nervous?”


    Leo ignores him and waves.


    Ling walks out with a sigh of relief.


    As he goes downstairs, he sees ire watching TV and ignoring him.


    “What’s the matter?” Ling feels puzzled and looks at the TV screen.


    A familiar face appears in the news broadcast. It is Qi, the president of the student union. He is


    shocked when he sees the headline.


    “A family business in this city went bankrupt, and the eldest daughter was suspected of suffering and


    committing suicide.” Ling reads the headline word by word.


    “The news has been broadcast. It must be true. But Qi looks shameless. She actually killed herself.”


    ire is a little sorry after the shock.


    Although Qi and she had conflicts and she always embarrassed ire, she should not die.


    ire hopes that Leo didn’t bankrupt her family, or she will feel guilty.


    ire sighs at her suicide.


    “Sister inw, you are so kind. She really shouldn’t have died. It seems that she can’t stand the blow.”


    Ling is also a little sorry.


    “Well, it’s none of our business.” ire turns off the TV and looks back at Ling.


    But soon ire’s eyes change. She finds a jade pendant on Ling’s body.


    It’s not the most important. She feels that the jade pendant is simr to the one she has lost before. But


    how could it be on Ling?


    Ling also notices the confusion in ire’s eyes. “What’s the matter?”


    This is her jade pendant...
