Chapter 216: Song Jingchen’s Birthday and A Drunk Shen Yijia
Xiao Ruoshui went back early the next morning. Shen Yijia did not ask her what her decision was, but when she left, she seemed to have made up her mind. The outcome would be revealed soon.
As expected, she came again two days later to bid farewell.
"I’m going back to the capital." Xiao Ruoshui took out a box and opened it. Inside was a translucent jade pendant.
Afraid that Shen Yijia would not recognize it, Xiao Ruoshui raised her chin. "Don’t think that it’s simple. This is a piece of warm jade. On my birthday, my grandfather gave me a fist-sized piece of warm jade that he had painstakingly obtained. I got someone to make it into a jade pendant for me.
"My step-sister had been coveting it for a long time, but I haven’t given it to her. Now, you lucked out."
Shen Yijia wanted to retort and say that she didn’t care about it. However, since Xiao Ruoshui was about to leave, she couldn’t do that. Hence, she raised a fake smile and picked up the jade pendant. "Thank you. This is the first time I’ve received such an expensive gift."
The jade pendant was smooth and shiny. Even though Shen Yijia did not know much about jade, she knew that it was expensive.
Her exaggerated performance successfully made Xiao Ruoshui’s smugness disappear. She looked at her with disdain, as if she was asking why she had a friend like her.
"Alright." Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and put the jade pendant back into the box. She took out a sleeve arrow and threw it to her. "I made it myself. Although it’s not as valuable as your jade pendant, this thing can more or less protect you when you encounter any danger."
Shen Yijia was not an ungrateful person. She could sense who was good to her and treated her as a friend, so she was naturally not stingy.
