"Young Master Duan," Ji Xun said, "this jade has always been mine."
"Always been?"
As soon as these words came out, not only did Duan Xiaoyan's gaze shift towards Ji Xun, but Pei Yunmeng's did as well.
"But this is clearly Doctor Lu's jade pendant..."
Ji Xun looked towards Lu Tong, their eyes meeting just as Lu Tong's grip on the Jade Jue tightened.
He was very fond of this piece of white jade, and after recovering it, he had resumed wearing it without giving it much thought. However, he forgot about this implication.
A man's personal item ending up in someone else's hands, especially since Lu Tong was a woman, would inevitably subject her to gossip. Considering this, he spoke sternly, "I'm not sure where Young Master Duan's words come from, but this jade has always been mine, never having left my side since I was young, perhaps you have mistaken it for another." After speaking, he discreetly gave Lu Tong a meaningful look.
