Seaside villa in City A.
Nan Zhuoyuan finished his tea in one gulp, staring intently at his mobile phone while muttering.
"Why hasn’t Nan Yu called me yet?"
Li Xue picked up the phone, scrolling through the call history, there wasn’t a single unfamiliar number, "Husband, did you possibly give the wrong number?"
Nan Zhuoyuan scowled, "Impossible. I checked carefully ten times and confirmed it was correct before giving it to her friend."
Li Xue’s fingers paused on the screen as she tilted her head to look at him, "Are you sure her friend passed it on to Nan Yu? What if she didn’t?"
Nan Zhuoyuan furrowed his brows, his eyes behind the glasses shimmering with an imposing coldness.
"Lichuan asked Nan Yu’s friend, and she said she did; besides, she wouldn’t lie about this kind of thing."
Li Xue thought that made sense. After a moment of silence, she bit her lip, her eyes slightly darkening.
"Husband, we don’t have much time left, waiting like this isn’t a solution, I have an idea now."
Nan Zhuoyuan turned his head to look at her, "What idea?"
Li Xue revealed her fair neck, her expression extremely serious, "Husband, since Nan Yu refuses to call us, then let’s go to the Nan Family and meet her."
"However, we can’t be too obvious; we need an excuse, like visiting under the guise of wanting to meet all family members of Nan Qingqing, including Nan Yu."
A light sparked in Nan Zhuoyuan’s eyes, a smile appearing on his face as he continued her thought, "I’ll find a chance during the visit to secretly speak with Nan Yu about this matter, afterwards everything will be easier to handle."
Li Xue nodded, warmly smiling, "Right."
Nan Zhuoyuan embraced her suddenly, "Wife, I’m so lucky to have you. I’ll call Nan Qingqing now and tell her we’re coming to visit tomorrow."
Li Xue held his hand, "Don’t rush, if you call ahead of time, it gives them a chance to not let us see Nan Yu."
Nan Zhuoyuan understood, "Then we’ll surprise them, go there tomorrow afternoon directly, and only inform Nan Qingqing when we are almost there, insisting they must call Nan Yu back."
But he still had doubts, "What if they refuse to call Nan Yu back?"
Li Xue held his hand, "It’s alright, even if we don’t see her, at least we can get some information, and use this opportunity to find out where Nan Yu is."
Nan Zhuoyuan nodded, "Alright, we’ll do as you suggest."
The next day, two o’clock in the afternoon.
Meng Yi appeared at the doorstep of the Nan Family, holding a beautifully packaged box, and immediately showed a smile upon seeing the door opened by Nan Qingqing.
"Qingqing, I came specifically to thank you."
Nan Qingqing stepped aside, feigning surprise, "Meng Yi, I helped you because we are friends, you don’t have to be so formal."
Nan Qingqing sat on the sofa, carefully placing the item in her hands onto the coffee table.
"Qingqing, as we agreed, because you helped me ask your older brother to introduce me to a lawyer, I brought this jade necklace especially for you today."
As she spoke, she took out the jewelry box, carefully opening it.
A necklace of pure green jade lay inside, which shone with a brilliant glow under the sunlight, radiating vibrant spring energy.
Nan Qingqing’s eyes grew fixed, and after a long moment she finally exclaimed—
"It’s beautiful."
Meng Yi pushed the jade necklace towards Nan Qingqing, "Qingqing, take it."
Nan Qingqing reached out to touch the cool necklace, struggling to suppress her inner impulse, her expression feigning difficulty.
"Meng Yi, I can’t accept this. I helped you because you had helped me previously, and also because we are friends, I didn’t intend to accept this necklace."
She pushed it back to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi looked down, picked up the jade necklace, and directly placed it around Nan Qingqing’s neck.
"Qingqing, this jade necklace is not only to thank you but also a gift to celebrate your becoming the Nan Family’s daughter. You must accept it."
"Besides, I am still waiting for you to introduce me to the Ghost Doctor, to become his apprentice."
"If you refuse the necklace, it can’t all be a lie, right?"
Just then, Nan Qingqing’s phone rang.
The caller ID showed—
[Big Brother].
