Zhou Wanqing put down her phone, stood up, and was about to go upstairs.

His father, Zhou Xiongye, was out attending a large banquet and was not at home. The mother did not go out, but stayed upstairs.

Zhou Wanqing thought about it first to see if there was something wrong with the jade pendant on her mother's side, and if so, she didn't need to call to disturb her father's affairs.

As soon as he turned around, the annoying face of the second brother Zhou Zhongxian appeared in front of him.

"Oh, my dear sister, have you called your hillbilly lover? Sending a jade pendant that is not in the stream is like a peerless baby, so I gave three of them, and even your eldest brother and second brother didn't have a share. Originally, I thought he had something to do with the Zhu family, and he had a little bit of energy. I didn't expect it to be so capable. Haha!"

Zhou Zhongxian had a little conflict with Yang Yonghui, and although he was warned by his father, he didn't dare to ask him for trouble. But for the kid who came out of this small country place, it has always been unpleasant.

Some time ago, Yang Yonghui asked someone to send three jade pendants, one each for Zhou Wanqing and her parents, and Zhou Zhongxian, who didn't get one, was unhappy in his heart, and his speech was even more unpleasant.

It is true that if Yang Yonghui really prepared one for him, Zhou Zhongxian would definitely not ask for it, and there was a high probability that he would be sneering.

But when Yang Yonghui ignored his existence, Zhou Zhongxian felt unbalanced again, sarcastically mocking this country boy and his childish anger.

Zhou Wanqing was anxious for Yang Yonghui's entrustment, and had no time to deal with this unreliable second brother.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to find my mother. ”

"Hmph, I won't let you, what can you do?"

Zhou Zhongxian was angry, and was ignored by his sister Hongguoguo, and he was even more naïve to fight with her.

Zhou Wanqing was angry and anxious, but for a while, she couldn't do anything about this scoundrel second brother.

At this time, his father Zhou Xiongye pushed open the door and strode in.

Behind him is the eldest son, Zhou Zhongda.

This Zhou Wanqing's eldest brother is modest and calm, and he is completely different from his younger brother Zhou Zhongxian, and he doesn't seem to be born to the same mother at all.

When Zhou Zhongxian was still idle, squandering the wealth of the Zhou family and ruining the reputation of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhongda was already by his father's side, learning to deal with various family affairs, and preparing for the position of the head of the family in the future.

"Dad, big brother, you're back!"

Zhou Wanqing was overjoyed.

Looking at this scoundrel second brother this time, do you dare to continue to be presumptuous.

As expected, Zhou Zhongxian saw his father come back suddenly, just like a mouse seeing a cat, he barked weakly, and his body slowly shrank back little by little, trying to withdraw from Zhou Xiongye's line of sight.

When Zhou Xiongye saw his daughter, his eyes lit up somehow, and he didn't care about Zhou Zhongxian at all.

"Wanqing, it's fine that you're at home, I just wanted to look for you. ”

Zhou Wanqing also said: "Dad, I just want to find you?"

Zhou Xiongye was stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved inexplicably: "What are you looking for me?"

"Dad, is your jade pendant still there?"

Zhou Xiongye had a monstrous wave in his heart, but there was no clue on his face.

"Well, why do you ask?"

Zhou Wanqing didn't think much about it, and told the truth.

"Just now, Brother Hui suddenly called me and asked if there was something wrong with our jade pendant. I wore my own well, and I wanted to go upstairs to ask my mother, but I was entangled by my second brother for a while, and I haven't asked yet. Then, you're back. ”

Zhou Xiongye's expression changed for a while, and he didn't speak.

Zhou Zhongda, who was following him, had been listening quietly, which was a sudden and urgent interjection.

"Wanqing, what did you mean just now that Yang Yonghui, who is far away in Quang Nam Province, called you and said that there was a problem with the three jade pendants he sent to someone?"

Zhou Wanqing had already seen her father, and the eldest brother's face was solemn, as if something had happened.

But lacking key information, she couldn't think of anything, so she could only nod honestly.

"Yes. ”

"How does he know?" Zhou Zhongda hurriedly asked.

Zhou Wanqing blinked: "What do you know?"

"How did he know that something had happened to Yu Pei?" Zhou Zhongda added.

"Dad's jade pendant, is there really a problem?" Zhou Wanqing was also very curious.

Bell~

There was a classical mobile phone ringtone, and it was Zhou Xiongye's mobile phone that rang.

Of course, his mobile phone has always been handled by his eldest son Zhou Zhongda.

"Hey...... Oh, it's okay, it's okay, thank you for your concern...... We don't know this very well...... Okay, let's do it first!"

Zhou Zhongda coped with it very perfunctorily and hung up the phone.

"It's Mr. Zhao's phone number from the XX department. Zhou Zhongda didn't wait for his father to ask, and took the initiative to say it.

(I don't dare to write official positions anymore, and in the future, the high-level will replace them with "Mr." or the like, and I ask for your forgiveness.) It may seem weird, but it's better than being scared and not knowing when you'll be banned. ）

Zhou Xiongye was still expressionless: "Asking about Yu Pei again, right?"

"Yes. Zhou Zhongda's answer did not surprise Zhou Xiongye.

Zhou Wanqing was confused, why did the jade pendant seem to have become a hot word? Everyone is mentioning it?

Zhou Zhongxian, who was about to retreat to the top of the stairs, also stopped, not daring to interject, but listening with his ears pricked up.

Zhou Wanqing continued the topic just now: "Dad, what's wrong with the jade pendant?"

"See for yourself. ”

Zhou Xiongye didn't explain much, and took off the jade pendant hanging from his neck.

Zhou Zhongxian, who was on the edge of the staircase, saw this detail and couldn't help but be surprised by another snack.

The father's movements were cautious, as if he was holding a newborn baby, for fear of falling and bumping him.

It's just a piece of jade pendant with barely passable quality, do you need to pay attention to it like this?

Zhou Zhongxian was puzzled, but Zhou Wanqing swept it at a glance, and immediately found an obvious crack on the jade pendant, diagonally across the surface of the entire jade pendant, almost splitting the jade pendant in two.

"What's going on?"

Among all the people present, Zhou Wanqing knew Yang Yonghui the most and was the most convinced.

This jade pendant Yang Yonghui called it a talisman, and solemnly instructed him, so it was not just talking.

And the jade pendant is seriously damaged, coupled with Yang Yonghui's phone call and the attitude of his father's eldest brother just now, all indicate that something terrible has happened.

"Just now, my dad attended a large banquet, and when he was about to come back, he was attacked by a group of mysterious people. Those mysterious people were so strong that they were caught off guard and broke through the strict security guards of the venue and attacked Dad. Originally, they were about to succeed, but at this time, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a thousand rays of light, blocking all the attacks of the attackers. Taking advantage of this gap, our Zhou family's guards arrived in time to drive those mysterious attackers away. ”

Zhou Zhongda, who was next to him, just hung up another phone call and explained what happened to his sister.

Then, we found that this life-saving jade pendant had become what it is now. ”

Zhou Wanqing nodded, frightened.

Fortunately, my father saw his face and carried this jade pendant with him to resist today's calamity.
