After talking to Rubin, Xiao Yuan and him went back to the hospital, where Rubin visited Lin Ran.

After entering the ward, Xiao Yuan found that the old man and Qin Xiaotong were not there, only Yang Jingchen and Xia Jiuying were chatting with Lin Ran.

After Rubin inquired about Lin Ran's condition, he also left, leaving only Xiao Yuan, Yang Jingchen and Xia Jiuying, as well as Lin Ran lying on the bed, and the room was quiet.

"Xiao Yuan, you worship Grandpa Sima as a master, and what happened to Xiaotong just now that you want to compete with her Uncle Long?" It was only at this time that Xia Jiuying had a chance to ask about these things.

Xiao Yuan told him what happened after he went to San Francisco yesterday, these things surprised Xia Jiuying, but the focus of the three of them was different, Yang Jingchen was concerned about the competition between Xiao Yuan and Long Taijie, worried that he would live up to Old Man Sima's expectations if he lost, but Xia Jiuying and Lin Ran had almost blind confidence in Xiao Yuan, so what they wanted to know more about this game was what kind of way Xiao Yuan used to win Long Taijie, as for Xiao Yuan's evaluation of Long Taijie as a business wizard, they automatically ignored it.

However, there is one thing that Yang Jingchen, Xia Jiuying and Lin Ran are very concerned about, that is, the dragon and phoenix pendant that the old man and Guo Yulan gave to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan took out the phoenix-shaped pendant and handed it to Xia Jiuying, Xia Jiuying obviously liked this pendant very much, her face was full of joy, she took it in her hand and played with it repeatedly for a long time, and only then under Lin Ran's urging, she was a little reluctant to hand it to her and let her study it.

"Huh." After Lin Ran got the pendant and played with it, he gave the pendant to Yang Jingchen again, but he didn't want Yang Jingchen to sigh lightly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"This pendant looks a little familiar." Yang Jingchen said.

"Have you ever seen this pendant?" Xiao Yuan was even more curious, in fact, not only him, but also Lin Ran and Xia Jiuying's two pairs of wonderful eyes also stared at Yang Jingchen tightly, very curious why she would say that.

"No, mom is sure, I haven't seen this pendant, but this shape mom must have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while, Xiaoyuan, you bring your dragon pendant over and let mom see it." Yang Jingchen frowned, and thought for a moment before speaking.

Xiao Yuan took the dragon pendant off his neck and gave it to his mother, who observed it repeatedly, then shook her head, and said with some disappointment: "Mother of the dragon pendant has not seen it." ”

Yang Jingchen handed the dragon pendant to Xiao Yuan, and gave the phoenix pendant to Xia Jiuying, with a serious expression, and reprimanded: "This pendant must be a very important thing for your master, since he gave it to you, you must keep it, Yingying and Tang Sa are both good children, you must not let them down, let alone make jerks again, show mercy everywhere, otherwise your mother will not forgive you when the time comes, understand?" ”

"Got it." Xiao Yuan took the pendant, handed it to Lin Ran, who reached out to play with it, and said with a smile.

"It's good to know, it's just that I have wronged Yingying and Tang Sa's two children." Yang Jingchen said.

"Auntie, Yingying is not aggrieved." Xia Jiuying said on the side.

"Oh, what a stupid boy." Yang Jingchen pulled Xia Jiuying to her side, held her hand, sighed lightly and said a word, and then stopped talking.

Xiao Yuan scratched his head, feeling that the atmosphere in the ward was a little dignified by his mother's words, and was about to think about saying something to ease the atmosphere, but he heard Lin Ran scream softly.

"Brother, come and see."

Now Xiao Yuan didn't have to think hard about adjusting the atmosphere, and the three of them were attracted by Lin Ran's shout.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"This dragon pendant seems to have been broken, and it was connected again, there is a crack here, brother, can you take a look?" Lin Ran put the pendant in the palm of his hand, pointed to the middle part and said.

Xiao Yuan took the pendant from Lin Ran's hand, took a closer look, and sure enough, he found that there was a slit on it, which was located in the middle of the dragon pendant, which happened to cut off the dragon pendant, but it was glued by someone with very clever means, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't look carefully, and in the morning, after he took the pendant from the old man's hand, he had been hanging it around his neck, and he hadn't had time to play it carefully, so naturally he wouldn't find such a gap.

"The dragon pendant seems to have been broken, but it was re-bonded by a master, and it was very finely made, and it couldn't be seen if you didn't look carefully, why did this happen?" Xia Jiuying said on the side, saying that she took a second look at the phoenix pendant, and did not find a similar gap on it, indicating that the phoenix pendant in her hand was intact.

"Could it be that this dragon pendant is two pieces of jadeite glued together first, and then carved?" Xiao Yuan speculated.

"I don't think it's a possibility, it's a big possibility to stick it again." Lin Ran said.

"What the hell is going on, I think the master must know, and when the right opportunity arises, I'll ask." Xiao Yuan said.

"Don't ask." Yang Jingchen stopped, "If he wants to say it, he will find a suitable opportunity to tell you, and it is not appropriate for you to take the initiative to ask." ”

"yes, don't ask." Xia Jiuying also disagreed with Xiao Yuan's question.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "I also said casually, since you don't think it's appropriate, then I won't ask." ”

…………

After staying in the hospital for a while, Yang Jingchen sent Xiao Yuan and Xia Jiuying out of the hospital, and after the two went home, Xiao Yuan cooked dinner, called the old man who arrived home earlier, Qin Xiaotong, to the restaurant, and sat around a table for dinner.

"Big villain, this dish you made is not delicious at all." Qin Xiaotong took a bite of the dish and put it in her mouth and chewed it, and then began to criticize Xiao Yuan's cooking, and compared her dear Uncle Long with Xiao Yuan one by one, and by the way, she made a nymphomaniac and praised her Uncle Long.

"Sister Ying, you and I will go to San Francisco tomorrow, when we get to San Francisco, I will take you to my house, and then let Uncle Long stir-fry for us." Then, the little girl began to sell Long Taijie to Xia Jiuying again.

"Thank you, I still have classes at school tomorrow and I can't go to San Francisco." Xia Jiuying declined Qin Xiaotong's invitation with a smile on her face, and as for Qin Xiaotong's comparison between Xiao Yuan and Long Taijie, she regarded it as a child's words, and she didn't take it too seriously.

Qin Xiaotong saw that Xia Jiuying rejected her, but she was a little unhappy and pouted, but soon became lively again, her little mouth kept talking, and the chopsticks were not idle, like a chicken pecking rice, she quickly took the vegetables and sent them to her mouth, completely forgetting that these dishes were criticized by her just now as useless, Xiao Yuan and the three of them saw this situation in their eyes, but no one said anything.

After eating, Xiao Yuan put the two meals reserved for the realization into the lunch box, left home with Xia Jiuying, went to the hospital first, and left the meals and went to school.

After arriving at the school, Xiao Yuan sent Xia Jiuying to the business school, and did not go to the innovation lab immediately, but drove to Smith's laboratory, and he was going to discuss some things with Smith.
