It was exactly what Shen Xiyin and Leng Xiaoyao wanted, so they agreed at once. “Sure, thank you, aunt.”
After that, Shen Xiyin invited Leng Xiaoyao to sit down.
Shen Yamei immediately beckoned to the waitress to bring menus, asking Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin to order what they wanted to eat.
When Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin finished ordering, Shen Yamei said, “Xiyin, why don’t you introduce your friend to us? She’s very beautiful.”
“Right, she’s indeed pretty.” The other two rich ladies complimented as well.
The moment they saw Leng Xiaoyao, they were amazed, but they weren’t jealous of her. Not everyone would be jealous of a stranger.
“This is my friend from City Chang. Her name is Leng Xiaoyao,” Shen Xiyin said.
“Nice to meet you all, ladies.” Leng Xiaoyao politely greeted them.
“Nice to meet you too, Miss Leng.” They responded nicely.
“I didn’t see you wearing the jade pendant I sent you before. Why did you put it on this time?” She Yamei asked, pretending to be casual.
“I’m sick of my other jewelry, so I put it on today,” Shen Xiyin said. She was lying, but didn’t appear guilty at all.
If she didn’t know this jade pendant was harmful, she would feel guilty for lying, but after knowing the problem with this jade pendant, she didn’t feel guilty at all. Even when she acted intimate with Shen Yamei as if she knew nothing, she didn’t feel guilty.
Even if the result wasn’t out yet, she no longer felt close to her aunt once she had suspicions.
By now, Shen Xiyin had a very bad impression of Shen Yamei. She did her best to curb her anger in order to act as nice as usual to Shen Yamei.
“How long have you worn it?” asked Shen Yamei.
Shen Xiyin wasn’t suspicious of Shen Yamei till Shen Yamei asked that question. Instantly, she noticed that Shen Yamei was different.
Was it true that Shen Yamei really knew the problem wit the jade pendant?
Shen Xiyin didn’t want it to be true. She would rather that Shen Yamei didn’t know about it. After all, they were relatives and they used to be close. She didn’t want to ruin their relationship.
However, if it was true, she had to tell her family for their safety, otherwise they might be harmed by Shen Yamei without being aware.
“About half a month.” Shen Xiyin lied.
“Half a month?” Shen Yamei was surprised.
If she had worn the jade pendant for half a month, why was she still fine?
Shen Yamei’s reaction proved everything. Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin were sure that she was aware of the problem with the jade pendant.
As a result, Shen Xiyin was angry and it showed a little on her face, but she couldn’t let her aunt know about it right now. Therefore, she composed herself and acted confused. “Aunt, is there anything wrong?”
Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang were also confused by Shen Yamei’s attitude.
Shen Yamei immediately realized that she shouldn’t have said that. “Oh, nothing, nothing.” Her eyes blinked and she explained at once.
However, her reaction betrayed her, so Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin didn’t believe her explanation.
In fact, it was true that Shen Yamei was aware of the problem with this jade pendant. She deliberately harmed Shen Xiyin.
She did it for her daughter.
“Xiyin, are you used to life in City Chang? How have you been sleeping at night?” asked Shen Yamei. It sounded as if she cared about Shen Xiyin, but honestly she was just trying to find out about the effect of the jade pendant. “Yeah, I’m used to the regular pattern of going to work and getting off work. I sleep well every night,” Shen Xiyin said. She obviously understood why Shen Yamei asked her about that.
“Great, I’m glad to hear that.” Shen Yamei forced a smile, but her mind was in a mess.
Shen Xiyin verified that Shen Yamei was aware of the problem with this jade pendant. She realized that Shen Yamei deliberately harmed her, which filled her with anger and irritation. She didn’t want to see Shen Yamei any longer, but she had to finish the act. No matter how furious she was and how reluctant she was to see Shen Yamei, she couldn’t leave, otherwise Shen Yamei would know everything.
Therefore, she had to wait till the meal was over.
However, Shen Yamei couldn’t stand it before Shen Xiyin. “Um, I suddenly feel uncomfortable and I want to go home. Let’s call it a day! I’ll pay the bill. You can enjoy the meal.”
She said that was all for today to Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang, and told Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin to enjoy the meal.
“Fine, I’m actually tired after shopping as well,” Mrs. Lin said.
“See you next time,” Mrs. Wang said.
“Aunt, if you don’t feel well, you can go home for a rest. If it’s serious, you should go to the hospital,” Shen Xiyin said with feigned concern.
“Sure, I will.” Shen Yamei answered.
After that, she hurriedly packed up and paid the bill, then left.
Once Shen Yamei was gone, Shen Xiyin could no longer hide her real emotions.
She looked extremely mad. “It’s her. It’s really her.”
Shen Xiyin was sad, because she didn’t expect her aunt, who always treated her very well, to try to harm her. She was her father’s biological younger sister, so it hurt Shen Xiyin deeply.
Unfortunately, it had already happened, so she had to face it.
“Since we know it’s her, we must take action. After this meal, we can go to your home first. Although your parents and older brother are fine for the time being, there might be harmful things hidden in your house,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“Of course.” Shen Xiyin answered, but she lost her appetite. However, in order to not affect Leng Xiaoyao, she forced herself to eat a little.
As soon as Shen Yamei walked out, Leng Xiaoyao took out her laptop and put on earphones. She was spying on Shen Yamei and her calls.
By the time Leng Xiaoyao and Shen Xiyin finished the meal, Shen Yamei got home.
About five minutes later, she made a call and a man answered it.
Leng Xiaoyao clearly heard their conversation.
Shen Xiyin anxiously said, “Lu Laosan, didn’t you say the jade pendant can make people weak and have nightmares? Why doesn’t Shen Xiyin look weak at all? She’s full of energy and sleeps well every night..”
