Chapter 47 Jade Necklace
Seaside villa in City A.

Nan Zhuoyuan finished his tea in one gulp, his eyes fixed on his phone, muttering to himself.

Why hasn't Nanyu called me yet?

Li Xue picked up her phone and scrolled through the call log. There weren't any unfamiliar numbers. "Honey, did you give me the wrong number?"

Nan Zhuoyuan said with a sullen face, "Impossible. I checked it carefully ten times before giving it to her friend. I made sure it was correct."

Li Xue paused her swiping on the screen, tilting her head to look at him. "Are you sure her friend gave it to Nan Yu? What if she didn't?"

Nan Zhuoyuan frowned, and a chilling aura emanated from his eyes behind his glasses.

"Lichuan asked Nanyu's friend, and the friend said she gave it to her. Besides, she wouldn't lie about something like this."

Li Xue thought it made sense. After a moment of silence, she bit her lip and her eyes darkened slightly.

"Honey, we don't have much time left. Waiting like this isn't a solution. I have an idea."

Nan Zhuoyuan turned to look at her. "What idea?"

Li Xue revealed her fair neck, her expression extremely serious. "Husband, since Nan Yu refuses to call, then we'll go to the Nan family to see her."

"However, we can't be too open about it. We need to find an excuse, such as a visit, saying that we want to meet all of Nan Qingqing's family members, including Nan Yu."

Nan Zhuoyuan's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. He continued, "I'll find an opportunity to secretly tell Nan Yu about this later, and then everything will be easy."

Li Xue nodded and smiled gently, "Yes."

Nan Zhuoyuan hugged her tightly. "Wife, thank goodness you're here. I'll call Nan Qingqing right now and tell her we'll visit her tomorrow."

Li Xue pressed his hand down, "Don't rush. You should call ahead to let them have a chance to prevent us from seeing Nan Yu."

Nan Zhuoyuan understood. "Then let's catch them off guard. We'll go there directly tomorrow afternoon, and when we're almost there, we'll tell Nan Qingqing to make sure they bring Nan Yu back."

But he still had doubts, "What if they don't agree to let Nanyu come back?"

Li Xue grasped his hand. "It's alright. Even if we don't see her, at least we'll have some idea of ​​where Nan Yu is. We can use this opportunity to find out."

Nan Zhuoyuan nodded, "Okay, we'll do it your way."

The next day, two o'clock in the afternoon.

Meng Yi appeared at the Nan family's door, carrying an exquisite box. Upon seeing Nan Qingqing open the door, she immediately put on a smile. "Qingqing, I came here specifically to thank you."

Nan Qingqing stepped aside, feigning surprise, "Xiao Yi, I'm helping you because we're friends, you don't need to be so polite."

Nan Qingqing sat on the sofa, took out the things in her hand, and carefully placed them on the coffee table.

"Qingqing, as we agreed before, if you help me ask your older brother to introduce me to a lawyer, I will give you this jade necklace. I brought it here especially for you today."

After saying that, she took out the jewelry box and carefully opened it.

A pure emerald green necklace lay on it, shimmering in the sunlight and exuding the vibrant spirit of spring.

Nan Qingqing stared, her eyes glued to the screen, before finally managing to utter a single sentence—

"gorgeous."

Meng Yi pushed the jade necklace in front of Nan Qingqing, "Qingqing, accept it."

Nan Qingqing reached out and touched the smooth, icy necklace, trying her best to suppress her inner impulses, and pretended to be troubled.

"Xiaoyi, I can't accept this. I'm helping you because you helped me before, and we're friends. I didn't intend to take this necklace from you."

She pushed it back to Meng Yi.

Meng Yi lowered her eyes, picked up the jade necklace, and put it directly around Nan Qingqing's neck.

"Qingqing, this jade necklace is not only a thank you gift, but also a gift to celebrate your becoming the daughter of the Nan family. You must accept it."

"Besides, I'm waiting for you to introduce me to the Ghost Doctor so I can become his apprentice."

"You can't possibly be lying to me all this if you refuse to accept the necklace, can you?"

Just as she finished speaking, Nan Qingqing's phone rang.
