Chapter 219 The Jade Pendant is Lost (3/3)

Jin Zhihong lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Jin Yuhong grumbled as she haphazardly stuffed the things back into the cabinet.

But just as she picked up the scattered handkerchief pouch, her movements suddenly stopped.

The handkerchief lay scattered, and inside... it was empty.

Where is her jade pendant?

The jade pendant shaped like a lingzhi mushroom is gone!

Jin Yuhong's mind went blank with a "buzz".

The anger on her face vanished instantly, leaving her completely bloodless and ashen.

When did they disappear?!

She grabbed the empty handkerchief abruptly, her heart pounding and her hands and feet turning icy cold.

Grandpa said this jade pendant was the key to the Jin family's turnaround! In their previous life, it was because they lost the jade pendant that their family missed a great opportunity and ended up in a miserable state!

In this life, despite all her precautions, how could she still lose it?!

"My jade pendant...where is my jade pendant?" she murmured in a daze, frantically searching the kang (a heated brick bed), but there was no trace of the jade pendant.

Seeing that Yu Hong looked unwell, Jin Zhihong came over worriedly, "Yu Hong, what's wrong? Did you lose something?"

"Get out of my way!"

Jin Yuhong pushed her away, her bloodshot eyes filled with madness and fear.

Clutching her handkerchief, she had only one thought in her mind—she had to tell Grandpa right away!

She didn't even bother to put on her coat before rushing outside.

The biting wind blew into her thin clothes, but she felt no cold; only her heart was sinking endlessly into an abyss.

It’s over!

She's finished! The Jin family is finished too!

Just as she rushed to the entrance of the brigade headquarters in a panic, a figure happened to walk out from around the corner.

Jin Yuhong ran too fast and couldn't stop.

"Bang!"

The two collided head-on.

"Ouch!" came a soft cry.

Jin Yuhong stumbled from the impact, looked up, and met Shen Yishan's face, which was filled with astonishment and innocence.

It's her again!

That persistent idiot!

Anger and despair instantly destroyed Jin Yuhong's reason.

Just as she was about to unleash a torrent of curses, a forgotten fragment of memory from her previous life suddenly exploded in her mind!

She remembers!

After returning to the city in her previous life, she heard gossip that Shen Yishan's family heirloom jade pendant was also lost when she went to the countryside!

This thought instantly froze Jin Yuhong's blood.

She stared intently at Shen Yishan, her gaze as if she wanted to devour her alive.

She grabbed Shen Yishan's arm, her nails almost digging into her flesh, her voice shrill and distorted.

"Shen Yishan, did you lose your jade pendant too?!" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
