Chapter 259: Chapter 259: The Expensive Necklace

Chiang Xiao almost believed that all this had been planned by Meng Xinian.

Even the contents of the shoulder bag that had been sent were now dubbed an engagement gift.

"Is it the bag that Zhao Xin sent over yesterday?" Ge Dejun couldn’t hold back and asked with curiosity and astonishment.

Meng Xinian had fooled them all.

Now, both Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang believed that what Meng Xinian said was true.

This truly surprised and delighted them.

The surprise was that this had come too suddenly, and Chiang Xiao was still so young. The joy came from seeing that Meng Xinian appeared to be a talented young man, handsome, tall, and with a demeanor indicating he had significant capabilities, suggesting he would be able to take good care of Chiang Xiao. Besides, from the conversation earlier, it was evident that his family was of the Supervisor Guard, seemingly well-off, which meant that for Chiang Xiao to marry into such a family would indeed be an excellent match.

"Correct, it’s that very package of things. Little, have you brought it?" Meng Xinian still looked at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao blinked, and they continued to communicate through their eyes.

Chiang Xiao: Do you really want me to take it out? If I do, in the eyes of everyone at home and the villagers in Siyang Village, I’ll truly be pegged as having a fiancé.

Meng Xinian: Taking it out will completely shut his mouth.

Chiang Xiao: But I’m still a young girl! Very young!

Meng Xinian, seeing that hint of playful innocence in her eyes, a mixture of coyness and complaint, couldn’t help but inwardly sigh, those eyes were simply too beautiful!

Don’t worry, haven’t we already cooperated on a mission before? Just consider this our second mission, right? We’re just acting.

Last time she even posed as his child bride, and this time, at least she was a fiancée, and they had even gone through the engagement ceremony. Wasn’t that better than a child bride?

Ho Laidi stared at Chiang Xiao, "There’s nothing there, right? There’s absolutely nothing. I knew it was a lie!"

Chiang Xiao was still hesitating, but hearing Ho Laidi say that and seeing her about to make a scene again, she scoffed, "Who says there’s nothing? I brought it with me!"

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the metal cabinet in the hospital room, opened a crack, reached in, and pulled out an army-green shoulder bag, which was bulging, clearly containing quite a few things.

At the sight of this bag, Xu Linjiang felt a bit confused. They had left in a hurry yesterday; had Chiang Xiao taken this bag out at that time? Why did he have no memory of it?

Or had he remembered it wrong?

Chiang Xiao placed the bag on the bed and poured out its contents, "These are the things Brother Xinian sent."

Meng Xinian, seeing that the items were still well packaged and that the money and tickets seemed untouched, knew Chiang Xiao had not intended to keep them.

So, asking him to come to the hospital was probably to return these things to him, right?

A smile flashed in his eyes as he approached, shuffled through the items, and picked up a small velvet box, "The main thing for the engagement is this."

Chiang Xiao’s eyes widened.

What was this?

She hadn’t looked closely before and hadn’t even noticed this item.

Meng Xinian opened the box, revealing a bright green jade calabash pendant on a delicate gold necklace. The jade shone with a refreshing clarity and verdant hue, transparent and flawless, clearly of superior quality.

And though the gold necklace was small, it was exquisitely crafted, shimmering with a lustrous shine.

Such an item, how much must it be worth!

Not just Ho Laidi, but all the onlookers had their eyes wide open.
