Everyone’s expressions froze on their faces. Even Tong Lu herself did not dare to believe what was happening. She reached out and grabbed the jade pendant, tightening her grip. She was afraid that everything was just an illusion.

But the slight chilliness of the jade pendant against her palm told her that she was holding her mother’s “love”.

It was as if someone had just snapped his finger, as everyone suddenly regained their senses. All of them looked dumbfounded. Should he not have given the jade pendant to Xu Jing?

Xu Jing was his future wife that Elder Leng had personally chosen for him, and she would also become the mistress of the Leng family. This was a cold, hard fact.

Tong Lu was puzzled too. She raised her head, and her heart skipped a beat when she met eyes with him. His gaze was so powerful that it was as if he could reduce whoever he looked at to ashes.

Both of them were only a few inches apart, and she was still unable to breathe. Could he actually be Professor Shuo? Her heartbeat quickened as she gazed at his god-like face.

After a moment of silence, Tong Lu’s pinkish lips quivered a little as she said, “Are you giving me the jade pendant?”

“What do you think?”

His voice was nonchalant, but his gaze and the aura he emanated was telling a completely different story. He looked so majestic, as if he had the ability to control the wind and the clouds...

There was no need for her to wonder. She was certain that he was giving the jade pendant to her.

Tong Lu could not help but suck in a sharp breath. “But why are you giving it to me?”

“This is a gift I’m giving you to mark our first meeting.”

Tong Lu was unable to speak. What did he mean? Does this mean that he was not Professor Shuo, and that Professor Shuo had not come back to life? “Who are you?”

She could not help but to utter the question that had been on her mind.

“Leng Yejin!”

Leng Yejin lowered his head and gazed at her with his jet-black orbs. He lifted his chin a little and uttered, “Sister-in-law, I’m Shuo’s younger brother, which means that I’m your brother-in-law!”

His voice was deep and domineering, like a closely guarded secret. There was something ceremonial about his voice, as if he was telling her that this was how they would interact with each other from now onward.

Tong Lu trembled. Leng Yejin? Her brother-in-law? Could it be that he was Professor Shuo’s twin brother? Why did he look so much like her deceased husband? She carefully raised her head to look at him. He seemed to be waiting for her to introduce herself.

“My name is Tong Lu,” she uttered nervously. She felt that she should say something more, so she immediately added, “Thank you, brother-in-law. This is such an expensive gift.”

A while back, she was in the depths of despair. But now, it was as if her heart had turned warm again. She tightened her grip on the jade pendant. She thought that she would miss out on the jade pendant, but things took a turn, and in the end, her brother-in-law personally put the jade pendant on for her. She looked around and realized that everyone in the venue was looking at her. The people who were mocking her just now wore astonished expressions, and even Miss Xu was looking at her in disbelief.

She was a little nervous, but she was grateful more than anything else. She was grateful that Leng Yejin had come to her rescue just in time.

“I really don’t know how I’m going to thank you.”

Leng Yejin could sense that she was nervous and grateful, and for some reason, his heart softened. His thin lips parted, and he said, “You deserve the jade pendant.”

He had told her before that she would be receiving a generous reward for taking care of his family members. Since she had been taking good care of Shanshan, it was only reasonable for him to show his gratitude.

He had always believed in rewarding and punishing people according to what they deserved.

Leng Yejin turned and glanced at Xu Jing. He flashed a cold smile. “Do you still want to place a bid?”

Even though he was speaking softly, and there was no anger in his voice at all, Xu Jing felt like someone had just emptied a bucket of cold water onto her.
