To this day, Gu Junzhu still couldn’t understand why Ruan Feifei would reject Zhan Jinchuan.

After all, Ruan Feifei seemed to be someone with impure motives and vanity.

But no matter what, it’s good that she rejected him.

If Zhan Jinchuan wanted to marry Ruan Feifei, he’d be the first to disagree.

Ruan Feifei’s active rejection saved him the trouble.

Later on, as Zhan Jinchuan’s career soared, his work got busier, leaving him with less time, and his interactions with Ruan Feifei diminished significantly.

Just like he had said to Zhan Jinchuan earlier, Wei Hanting and Zhan Jinchuan’s jobs were unique; it wasn’t convenient for him to pay attention, much less inquire.

He knew very little about the matters concerning Wei Hanting and Zhan Jinchuan.

He once directly asked Zhan Jinchuan if he was still in contact with Ruan Feifei.

Zhan Jinchuan’s response was that he was too busy with work and hadn’t been in touch with Ruan Feifei for a long time.

He thought Zhan Jinchuan was an adult.

And a very successful one at that.

He assumed Zhan Jinchuan would handle his relationship with Ruan Feifei well.

Little did he know, until now, he was still entangled with Ruan Feifei.

Zhan Jinchuan was a person who valued emotions and loyalty highly.

Back in the day, his father had brought home a starving and sick Zhan Jinchuan, raising him to adulthood. Zhan Jinchuan treated his parents as if they were his biological ones and repaid them as lifesavers. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Similarly, he always felt that in that small mountain village, it was Ruan Feifei who saved his life. He regarded Ruan Feifei as his savior, deeply grateful to her.

However, Gu Junzhu could not agree with this.

Gu Junzhu felt that the so-called lifesaving grace between Zhan Jinchuan and Ruan Feifei resembled more of a transaction.

Initially, Zhan Jinchuan pleaded with Ruan Feifei to untie the ropes binding his hands and feet, but Ruan Feifei didn’t agree.

Later, Zhan Jinchuan told Ruan Feifei that hidden in the secret pocket of his clothing was a talismanic Jade Pendant given to him by his mother.

If Ruan Feifei could help untie the ropes on his hands and feet, he’d give the Jade Pendant to her.

Only then did Ruan Feifei agree to help untie the ropes binding him.

After Ruan Feifei untied the ropes on his hands and feet, he took the Jade Pendant out from the secret pocket as promised and gave it to Ruan Feifei.

With the Jade Pendant in hand, Ruan Feifei left, and he took the opportunity to escape the cellar.

Gu Junzhu does not deny that, at that time, it was indeed Ruan Feifei who saved Zhan Jinchuan.

But Ruan Feifei was compensated for it.

The Jade Pendant was worth millions at market value.

Due to the confidential nature of Zhan Jinchuan’s mission, he was initially unaware of the matter.

It was not until more than two years later, as Zhan Jinchuan was too busy with work to return home, that he found out about the entire incident when Zhan Jinchuan mentioned the whereabouts of the Jade Pendant to his mother during a New Year’s visit home.

His mother was very relieved, saying the Jade Pendant saved Zhan Jinchuan’s life. She repeatedly mentioned that losing the Jade Pendant did not matter as long as he was safe.

Regarding the talismanic Jade Pendant she gave her adopted son, which saved his life, his mother was very happy and cared little about its current whereabouts.

But he remembered it well.

The Jade Pendant was his mother’s dowry.

His grandfather had a fondness for gold, jade, porcelain, and antiques and had left many Jade Pendants for his mother.

His mother selected a few from them, giving one to each of her siblings.

With Zhan Jinchuan’s talismanic Jade Pendant taken by an unknown girl, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

So he began sending people to find that girl, hoping to buy the Jade Pendant back from her.

In the vast sea of people.
