Chapter 248 Is this jade pendant yours?
"It's dark outside, and I won't dare come back for a while. You go with me." Li Mingxia waved her hand and said.
Li Zhengde originally thought that his sister would have something to say to Song Li in private, but he didn't expect his sister to call her name. However, he always listened to his sister and followed her immediately.
"Okay, I'll stay with my sister." Li Zhengde said.
When they got outside, Song Li hadn't figured out how to start the conversation, but Li Mingxia took the initiative to bring up what had happened.
"Mr. Song is such a careful person, I don't think he would forget such an important thing in the carriage. You must have something to say to me." When Li Mingxia said this, his expression was still calm, without any guilt or panic, but more calm.
Song Li looked at the brother and sister in front of him, and for some reason, he was not angry.
He just wanted to know why Li Mingxia did this.
"Ms. Mingxia, I don't think I have offended you in any way. Why did you do this today?"
Li Mingxia looked at Song Li in front of him, who did not show any anger, and the indifference in his eyes also faded a little.
"If you really haven't offended me in any way, do you think I would do what I did today?" Li Mingxia looked at Song Li and said it directly.
When Song Li heard this, he was as surprised as he had been at the dinner table just now.
Li Mingxia did not behave abnormally from beginning to end, but during the meal he pushed all the blame on himself. Song Li thought this was extremely wrong. He did not think Li Mingxia was such a person. This was why even now, he still stubbornly wanted to hear what Li Mingxia had to say.
"Please speak frankly, Miss Mingxia. If you don't explain clearly, even if I die, I will be a confused ghost and will not be able to be reborn!"
In this era, the belief in ghosts and gods is given great importance. It seems that Song Li was really provoked to the point of saying such words.
Li Mingxia, who was originally very sure that Song Li could not escape responsibility for this matter, was a little shaken at this moment, but quickly took something out of her arms.
"Isn't this your thing?" Li Mingxia handed the thing in his hand to Song Li.
It was a jade pendant, made of white jade with a Song character written in a flamboyant style. It looked extremely valuable and was definitely not an ordinary item.
Song Li's eyes widened instantly when he saw the jade pendant!
This is his jade pendant! There is no mistake about it. He has had this jade pendant with him for ten years. He will never make a mistake. But why is this jade pendant in Li Mingxia's hand?
Seeing Song Li's eyes, Li Mingxia smiled and asked, "It seems that I don't need to hear your answer, Mr. Song."
Li Mingxia had seen this jade pendant on Song Li. Even if Song Li didn't want to admit it, it would be useless. However, he didn't expect that Song Li couldn't hide the truth and did not deny it.
"Yes, this is indeed my jade pendant." Song Li said gritting his teeth.
Li Mingxia sneered, casually threw the jade pendant in his hand into Song Li's arms, and turned around to go back into the house.
"Let's go, Zhengde."
Li Mingxia had just taken a step when Song Li grabbed his arm.
"Mingxia!"
Li Mingxia frowned instantly, and before she could say anything, Li Zhengde next to her immediately changed his expression, reached out and held Song Li's wrist.
"Let go." Li Zhengde's voice was cold and hard. He looked at Song Li, and his usual kindness and gentleness were completely gone.
His bottom line is his sister. No matter who she is or why, no one can hurt Li Mingxia.
"Men and women should not touch each other. What are you doing pulling and tugging like this?" Li Mingxia glanced at Song Li, his displeasure evident in his words.
Song Li made this move in a hurry, and quickly let go of his hand when he heard Li Zhengde's words.
"Brother Zhengde, please don't misunderstand me. I was too anxious and wanted to explain something, but Miss Mingxia left too quickly. If I didn't stay for a while, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to say it in time."
Li Zhengde saw that Song Li let go of his hand in time and his explanation was reasonable. Although he was still a little unhappy, his expression had eased a lot.
"If it were someone else, then it would be a misunderstanding, and I am too lazy to explain more, but I treat Miss Mingxia differently. No matter what, please listen to me, okay?" Song Li said earnestly.
No matter who it is, even if they have a heart of stone, they will be moved after hearing such words. Moreover, Li Mingxia had already made some different guesses from Song Li's reaction just now, so he stopped at this moment.
"Just say whatever you want to say. I really want to hear it." Li Mingxia looked at Song Li and said.
Seeing that Li Mingxia was no longer as cold and indifferent as before, Song Li felt a little relieved and held the jade pendant in his hand.
"This jade pendant is indeed mine and has been with me for ten years, but it was lost a few days ago." Song Li looked at Li Mingxia and saw that she was just frowning and there was no sarcasm in her eyes. He knew that Li Mingxia did not completely disbelieve what he said.
"I remember the jade pendant was still there before I went to bed that night, but it was gone after I woke up. The maids and servants all said they didn't see it, so I thought I lost it outside the house. I was depressed for several days because of this. My mother comforted me and gave me another jade pendant. Look, this is it." As Song Li spoke, he untied a jade pendant tied around his waist, and handed them to Li Mingxia, one in each hand.
The two jade pendants are made of the same material, and even their shapes and cloud patterns are exactly the same, except that one has "Song" engraved on it, while the other has "Li" engraved on it.
Even if you don't look carefully, anyone who has seen these two jade pendants can tell at a glance that they definitely belong to one person.
Li Mingxia and Song Li looked at each other, with some doubt in their eyes, but no one spoke.
"Mingxia, where and when did you find this jade pendant? Can you tell me?" Song Li didn't know whether he was too anxious or did it on purpose, but he changed his address to Mingxia from Miss Mingxia to Mingxia.
Li Mingxia and Li Zhengde both heard it, but no one had time to care about these things at the moment.
"Two days ago, I found this jade pendant in my room when I returned home." Li Mingxia sighed, already having a vague guess in his mind.
"As you know, we have been living in the old house of the Li family for some time. I only go back to check on the workshop and our house occasionally. When I went back that day, I felt something was wrong. I carefully checked my things and found that the cabinets and boxes had been moved. Although the movers were very careful, they still left traces. When I looked again, I saw your jade pendant."
