No matter what Hu Rui did, he would not give the jade gourd to Yao Yun. Yao Yun deserved the pain.
He was not a kind person.
Seeing his reaction, Yao Yun felt a chill in her heart.
It seemed that she had no place in Meng Bo’s heart.
If Ye Tang was here, would Meng Bo be willing to give her the spiritual artifact?
He should be willing, right?
Thinking of this, Yao Yun’s heart was filled with pain, and tears fell from her eyes.
Master Duan said a few words to Yu Zong and left the office.
Yu Zong noticed Hu Rui and Yu Miao’s small actions and also heard Hu Rui say, “Just you wait.”
Yu Miao must have threatened Hu Rui to get the jade pendant.
At the thought of this possibility, Yu Zong’s eyes darkened. He sighed slightly in his heart and could not help but think of Yu Su.
Back then, he was busy with work and didn’t come home often, so he didn’t know much about what happened at home.
However, his wife would always nag at Yu Su, saying that she bullied her adopted daughter and that Yu Su did not know the rules.
After listening for a long time, Yu Zong also had a bad impression of Yu Su.
But now, it seemed that his wife and four sons had been fooled by Yu Miao. Not only had they been deceived, but they had also received the punishment they deserved.
Yu Miao was really too scheming. He had to find a time to settle Yu Miao’s matter and not let her stay in the Yu family anymore.
But how could he deal with it so that Yu Miao would leave willingly and not make Hu Ying object violently? This was a big problem.
Hu Ying was stubborn. Now that she had determined that Yu Miao was the most considerate child, ordinary methods might not be able to chase Yu Miao away.
Forget it, forget it! He had to think of a way slowly.
Yu Miao noticed Yu Zong’s complicated gaze and her heart trembled.
She couldn’t help but smile sweetly. “Dad, it’s all thanks to you. Otherwise, we don’t know how long it would have taken.”
Yu Zong nodded. “How do you feel now?”
Yu Miao smiled and said, “With the jade pendant, I feel much better and it doesn’t hurt so much anymore.”
“That’s good,” Yu Zong said.
In order to salvage her image in front of Yu Zong, Yu Miao took the initiative to take out the jade pendant and handed it to Hu Rui. “Cousin, I’m much better.
I’ll return the jade pendant to you.”
In order to make Yu Zong like her more, she could only endure the pain.
However, Hu Rui said coldly, “No need. I don’t need it. You can use it yourself!”
Don’t think that he couldn’t tell what Yu Miao was thinking. In the past, he disdained to expose her, but now, he felt disgusted just by looking at her.
When Meng Bo heard this, he raised his eyebrows.
The Yu Family’s matter was quite interesting. It seemed that he had to investigate and see what had happened recently.
Seeing that Yu Zong was still looking over, Yu Miao handed the jade pendant over again and said magnanimously, “Cousin, use the jade pendant. I’m really much better.”
Hu Rui was extremely frustrated, but he couldn’t expose her directly. He looked at Yu Miao with a sharp gaze. “You really want to give it to me?”
Yu Miao immediately nodded. “Yes, you can use it.”
Hu Rui laughed out loud with a mocking expression on his face. “In that case,
I’ll take it. However, you can’t report me to Uncle.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Miao immediately panicked.
She quickly glanced at Yu Zong and immediately said, “Cousin, we’re so close.
Of course we have to help each other.”
Seeing her attitude, the mockery on Hu Rui’s face deepened. He didn’t take the jade pendant and walked away from Yu Miao.
Yu Miao was ignored and was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
What was wrong with Hu Rui? How could he be so impudent in front of Yu Zong? He did not take her seriously at all.
Hu Rui walked to Yu Zong’s side and said softly, “Uncle, Master Duan doesn’t seem very reliable.”
Yu Zong shook his head. “Let’s wait a little longer. Perhaps he’ll have a new method later.”
If it still didn’t work, he could only thicken his skin and look for Yu Su.
Yao Yun walked up to Meng Bo and said pitifully, “Young Master Meng, it’s so painful that I can’t take it anymore. Give me the jade gourd!”
Meng Bo still closed his eyes and slept.
Yao Yun bit her lip hard as tears flowed from her eyes.
She had already begged so humbly, but Meng Bo was still indifferent. Was he so cold-hearted?
Yao Yun felt wronged and resentful. She stood up and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”
With that, she ran out of the office..
