Chapter 604 Jade Pendant
Yin Jia covered her face as she cried and said, “When Grandmother left, Mother was pregnant with you when she looked for Grandmother. At that time, she left me at home. If it weren’t for the fact that when I was born, the Yin family business suddenly flourished and Grandpa treated me as a lucky star, I would’ve been treated even worse. That vicious old woman really did a lot of bad things!”
Yin Jia looked at Cheng Che with tears in her eyes as she said, “You’ve never been in the Yin family before, and you don’t even know about my existence. I don’t blame you that you don’t feel sorry for me. However, you’re my only younger brother. You’re my only family. If even you don’t want me, then my life is meaningless!”
Cheng Che could not bear it.
Indeed, he had never been in the Yin family before. When he found out about his biological family when he turned 18, he did not ask about the Yin family. To him, the fact that the Yin family did not come to look for him spoke for itself. Hence, he did not feel the need to entangle himself with them. It was not like he could not live on without them or could not let them go. Hence, he severed his ties with the Yin family without difficulty. However, the person in front of him was his biological sister.
Cheng Che hesitated.
Yin Jia reached up and unfasted the clasp of her necklace. She held it in her hand as she said, “This necklace was custom-made by Mom for us. I don’t know if they gave it to you. My jade pendant has my name engraved on it. However, yours don’t have your name since at that time, we didn’t know if you were a boy or a girl. If you were a boy, we would engrave ‘Yin Xing’ on it; if you were a girl we would engrave ‘Yin Yi’.”
Cheng Che sighed. Then, he unfastened his necklace and showed it to Yin Jia. The jade pendant was engraved with the words ‘Cheng Che’.
Yin Jia took his necklace and placed it next to hers. She sobbed and said, “Grandmother must have engraved it for you after she left Grandpa. Why should we suffer because of their issues? Our family was broken up just like that. Why should we bear the consequences of their actions for 28 years?”
Yin Jia clutched the two necklaces in her hand as she cried uncontrollably.
Cheng Che could not help but feel sad. Indeed, he and Yin Jia were innocent, and the most innocent person was their mother. The three of them were used as sacrifices in this melodramatic tale of a wealthy family.
Cheng Che reached out hesitantly and patted Yin Jia’s shoulder as he said, “Don’t cry.”
Yin Jia’s body froze slightly. Then, she raised her head and carefully returned Cheng Che’s necklace to him. After she fastened her necklace around her neck, she wiped away the tears on her face with a piece of tissue. She brought out a hand mirror and tidied her makeup. Since she did not put on much makeup, it did not make much of a mess.
Cheng Che observed her silently. She was likely raised under strict rules, considering her actions. At least, he had never seen such a rigid Young Miss of a wealthy family.
After tidying herself up, Yin Jia calmed down. She said, “Grandmother named you Cheng Che to show her determination to Grandpa. Back then, Grandpa’s mistress, the current Old Madam Ji Yang of the Yin family, was our grandmother’s best friend. However, that old woman actually dared to hook up with Grandpa. They were both over 30 years old at that time, and yet, they still did such a shameful thing! When Grandmother found out, it was chaotic. They were fighting and shouting. However, for some reason, before Grandma could do much, she was caught with another man by a reporter. With that, the tide suddenly changed. Grandma was adamant that she was innocent, but alas, she could not defend herself.”
