"Hey, that thing is not suitable to be touched."

The middle-aged man handed a half-broken jade pendant to Jiang Yuechu, "This is what your grandmother entrusted to me before she died. She said it's very valuable. She wanted you to use it to exchange for some money and leave that family by yourself. Don't be a burden anymore."

During the time when she was replaced, Jiang Yuechu only felt her grandmother's meager kindness besides being beaten and scolded, but time has passed so long that her memory has long been blurred.

Jiang Yuechu took the half of the jade pendant and whispered, "It's a defective product, not worth much."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Our place is very poor. It's good enough that we can produce something. You can keep it as a souvenir."

"Thank you."

Jiang Yuechu put away the jade pendant and talked about the jar again, "Sir, who gave you this jar?"

When the middle-aged man heard the word "Mr.", he looked a little surprised, "Are you also a fellow practitioner?"

"Not really, just a little bit."

Jiang Yuechu casually picked up a piece of talisman paper on the table and stuck it on the jar. The jar shook slightly. It turned out that there was something hidden.

"Sir, raising a ghost will shorten your life. You'd better let this thing go as soon as possible."

The middle-aged man took another puff of a cigarette and said, "You'll laugh at me even if I tell you this. This is my baby. He died two years ago, and my wife missed him, so I thought of a way to store him in a jar so that he can come out to see him every now and then."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuechu understood and drew a new talisman for him. "Too much contact with ghosts will damage yourself. I leave this talisman for you to protect yourself."

When the middle-aged man saw what was drawn on the talisman, his eyes widened. "When did Jiang girl learn this skill? My little skill is nothing in front of you."

"Just kidding."

"So you are here."

A familiar voice sounded behind me. When I turned around, Tao Runyan had already stepped in, as if he was walking into his own home.

"Mr. Shen."

When Shen Minghua saw Tao Runyan, he immediately put on a flattering look, "Mr. Tao, I haven't collected all the money yet, please give me a little more time."

Tao Runyan didn't look at Shen Minghua, but at Jiang Yuechu, "Do you know him?"

"Ah."

Jiang Yuechu nodded, "It was a neighbor near my previous home."

Shen Minghua could tell at a glance that there was something unusual between the two of them, and quickly said, "Mr. Tao and Miss Jiang look so compatible, they must be married. Tell me earlier, Miss Jiang, so you can treat me to a glass of wedding wine."

These words touched Tao Runyan's heart.

"Don't worry about the money, take your time, I'm here to take her home."

As Tao Runyan spoke, he embraced Jiang Yuechu in his arms.

Jiang Yuechu wanted to refuse, but Tao Runyan was surprisingly strong and refused to let go. "Tao Runyan, don't go too far."

"How can hugging your own wife be considered excessive?" Tao Runyan whispered in her ear, "The words have already been spoken. It's too late to refute now."

Jiang Yuechu's back teeth were almost broken, "Sooner or later, I will make your mouth mute."

"You can't bear it."

Watching the two of them flirting with each other, Shen Minghua secretly thought that the store matter was settled and he could now breathe a sigh of relief.

"We haven't had time to prepare the banquet yet. I will definitely come and treat you to a drink once the time is confirmed."

Shen Minghua bowed his head and said, "Master Tao, what are you talking about? I will definitely go to Miss Jiang's wedding."

"We're leaving now. See you next time."

Tao Runyan nodded slightly, then walked outside while holding Jiang Yuechu. A few white lights flashed by, and Jiang Yuechu's face darkened. His body reacted quickly, and he reached out to push Tao Runyan into the car.

"What?"

Tao Runyan staggered after being pushed. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuechu covered his face and quickly got into the car.

"There are paparazzi taking pictures nearby. Next time you go out, don't make such a big fuss. Try to change to a less conspicuous car."

Jiang Yuchu sat up straight. She didn't want to be photographed by reporters at this time, otherwise Song Yitian would definitely find a way to break the bet.

"Are you considering the bet with Song Yitian?"

Tao Runyan straightened his sleeves and said, "I've seen all the trending searches. You knew I wouldn't accept the invitation, but you still wanted to bet with Song Yitian. Why?"

"If you want to drive someone crazy, you have to send her to the highest point. Song Yitian dreams of getting in touch with you. I don't believe you can't see it." Jiang Yuchu turned sideways and looked at Tao Runyan.

"So what if I can tell? I just want to know what you're thinking. Do you want me to go or not?"

Jiang Yuechu snorted coldly and said, "Of course you have to go. You have to go with Song Yitian."

Tao Runyan frowned slightly, "Why? Doesn't this charity dinner give us a chance to be public? Don't you want to have anything to do with me?"

"What do you think?"

Jiang Yuechu rolled her eyes at him. If it wasn’t for the contract, she would never want to have anything to do with him.

Seeing Jiang Yuechu's gaze, Tao Runyan's smile froze, "Jiang Yuechu, am I so unbearable in your heart? Am I not even qualified to stand with you?"

"No, it's just that you and I are not suitable for each other." Jiang Yuechu said bluntly.

"What's inappropriate?"

Jiang Yuechu looked straight into Tao Runyan's eyes with a serious expression, "The life of a wealthy family is not what I want. You have so many women around you, and I am not a problem. When the contract is over, I will leave the Tao family."

Tao Runyan felt depressed when he heard this, "Jiang Yuechu, can't you see what I feel for you?"

Jiang Yuechu curled her lips and smiled, "So what if you can see it? What else can I do if I can't see it? Mr. Tao, Master Tao, I'm just a little star, I know where I should be placed, there is only cooperation between us, nothing else."

Having said that, Tao Runyan was not a shameless person. He sat up straight with a cold face and said, "A-Tuo, drive."

Atuo, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was already covered in cold sweats. He never expected Jiang Yuechu to speak so bluntly. At this moment, it would be better for him to keep his mouth shut.

The car drove slowly to the door of Tao's house. Tao Runyan opened the door and got out of the car without saying a word, then went upstairs in a muffled voice.

Looking at Tao Runyan's departing back, Jiang Yuechu opened the half-opened car door and stopped where he was.

"Did I say something too harsh?"

"Miss Jiang still knows?"

Atuo curled his lips and said, "From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen the young master being rejected. You are the first one. Miss Jiang is really brave."

Jiang Yuechu was speechless. "No, can you two, master and servant, read less of those cheesy novels?"

"This kind of talk is just like the plot of a domineering president falling in love with me. I really can't stand you two."
