Old man Dong had specially invited Lin Jing to have a look. If there was anyone that caught his eye, he could give it a try.

However, there was only Jiang Qianxue in Lin Jing's heart. He didn't know why, but from before until now, his expression had been somewhat absent-minded. He was worried that there was a place to properly comfort her, so he tactfully rejected Old Dong.

Old man Dong was also a shrewd person. Since he had seen through Lin Jing's intentions, he naturally didn't insist. He invited the steward of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop to bring the two of them to a side courtyard to rest.

He could no longer hear the sounds coming from the banquet. Lin Jing held Jiang Qianxue's hand with a worried expression and gently asked, "Qianxue, are you alright? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, why don't you tell me?"

"Elder Dong said that the Cloud Embroidery Workshop has everything. If you're not feeling well, I'll ask them if they have a doctor to help you take a look."

Jiang Qianxue raised her head and looked at Lin Jing with a profound look in her eyes. She said, "Lin Jing, I always thought that you were just an ordinary university student, but because of my mistake, you were injured and I married you. I didn't have any complaints in my heart, so I wanted to have a good life with you."

"Although you've been at home for the past few years, and your parents have not treated you well, I always felt that even though you don't have much ability, at the very least, you're a reliable person, but in the past two days, I've discovered that I've seen wrongly. You're not what I thought you were."

"Who exactly are you?"

After hearing Jiang Qianxue's last words, Lin Jing's heart skipped a beat. In the previous auction, Jiang Qianxue had protected him with everything she had and even said she loved him. Lin Jing was very happy, so he had come out with everything she had.

The two of them had been married for several years, but this was the first time Lin Jing felt that way. But now, he could see the deep wariness and suspicion in Jiang Qianxue's eyes. It was as if she was looking at a stranger.

"Qianxue, I'm me. It's always been me, and I'm not lying to you. I'm Lin Jing, an ordinary university student." Lin Jing said anxiously.

"You're still not telling the truth, are you? Do you think I'm an idiot, easily deceived, easily bullied? For an ordinary university student to be able to take out an antique porcelain that's worth ten million and then casually give out a priceless treasure? "

Jiang Qianxue shook off Lin Xu's hand as she spoke with an ice-cold expression.

As if struck by lightning, Lin Jing saw Jiang Qianxue's expression. The two of them had been married for several years, and even in the period when they had no feelings for each other, he had never seen such an expression.

"Qianxue, listen to me. I'm really not lying to you. Please trust me, okay?" Lin Jing couldn't think of how to explain it to her, so he panicked.

Jiang Qianxue's eyebrows shot up as she coldly stared at Lin Jing and said, "Do I believe you? How do you expect me to believe you? Right now, I suspect that the words you said, your identity, and even your entire person, were all fake. What exactly is your goal?

"I don't have anything you would covet. Although I'm a member of the Jiang family, you've seen it in the past few years. Our lives aren't as good as you think. All of our family's money added up together might not be as expensive as the two things you've taken out."

"Thus, there is no need for you to waste your time on deceiving me. The benefits and the sacrifices you made will not form a direct ratio. This bracelet of yours is simply too expensive. With my status, it is not worth it. You should take it back."

As she spoke, Jiang Qianxue placed the jade bracelet on the table. There was a resolute and resolute expression on her face, as if she had already given up all hope.

"Before at the jewelry show, I was thinking, why would a great figure like Elder Dong say that he would help you, and even directly invite you to participate in the jewelry show. At that time, I really believed your words and thought that you just happened to meet him."

Sneering coldly, with a hint of self-mockery, Jiang Qianxue continued, "I'm really stupid. Someone as important as Elder Dong isn't even someone he sees in public. How could I have met him on the streets? How could he possibly need your help? "

"Now I understand. You are the famous Mr. Lin. Oh right, the Mr. Lin you mentioned before who bought the store across from our house is actually you, right? You acted really well. No wonder! "

"No wonder my mother said that back then, you didn't have the slightest hint of anger on your face. You must have been secretly happy, because you must have been laughing in your heart at that time, because we were all idiots. Hehe, Lin Jing, no, that's not right.

At this point, Jiang Qianxue felt that there was no need to continue staying here. No matter what Lin Jing's true identity was, no matter how much money he had, it would have nothing to do with Jiang Qianxue in the future.

When Lin Jing saw that Jiang Qianxue was about to leave, he became even more anxious. He stood up and grabbed Jiang Qianxue's hand. He blurted out in a panic, "Qianxue, don't leave. Elder Dong's business is …"

"Let me go! You can't possibly want to say that all of this was arranged by Elder Dong and has nothing to do with you, right? You're just helping Elder Dong with something? " Jiang Qianxue frowned as she coldly stared at Lin Jing.

"Yes, no, no. Aiya, how can I tell you that?" Lin Jing couldn't care so much now. Even if he told her about Uncle Hui's matter, with Jiang Qianxue's current mood, she probably wouldn't believe him. She could only accept it as Old Dong first.

In the worst case scenario, he could slowly explain it to Jiang Qianxue. As Lin Jing thought about it, he quickly and decisively said, "Previously, I did run into Elder Dong by chance and he ran into some trouble, but he was not in a good position to directly investigate. That's why I'm here to help him."

"I've never seen him before and we have no connections, so there's no need to worry about arousing suspicion. You know everything that happened afterwards."

After hearing Lin Jing's words, Jiang Qianxue still had a suspicious and cold expression on her face. She coldly said, "Then why didn't Old Man Dong find someone else and instead found you?"

"Because I'm a cripple. I'm a disabled person, and I'm also the son-in-law of the Jiang family. This way, I'll have a certain status and can contact the people Elder Dong needs to investigate. At the same time, it won't arouse suspicion from others." Lin Jing hastily said.

"You didn't expect to see me here?" Jiang Qianxue frowned slightly. She looked at Lin Jing's anxious face and began to sweat profusely. Actually, most of what she had said before was just words of anger.

Now that she thought about it, there really was no need for Lin Jing to waste so much of his time and energy lying to her, and even sacrifice one of his legs. It had to be known that in that car accident, although Lin Jing had managed to survive, at that time, no one could be sure.

What reason could he have for a person of such status to risk his life to get close to him? Jiang Qianxue thought about it for a long time, and felt that there wasn't any. Even if she were to tie up the Jiang Clan, it didn't seem that they would be qualified to do so.

When Lin Jing saw that Jiang Qianxue's expression had eased up, he immediately nodded his head and said, "That's right. Old man Dong originally wanted me to watch from the side, but he gave me some more information. He didn't expect Jiang Xu and you to be here.

"Jiang Xu and I, that is …" Upon hearing Lin Jing say that she and Jiang Xu had come together to attend the banquet, Jiang Qianxue's face reddened and she felt somewhat guilty.

"I believe you must have been forced to do this. It's just that at that time, there was only one voice in my head, and that was that I couldn't let you suffer any grievances by yourself. That's why I came here. Lin Jing felt that this lie was getting further and further away.

Jiang Qianxue's mind was in a mess. She didn't know if she should trust Lin Jing anymore. She asked hesitantly, "Then what's up with the Dragon Seed Stone?"

Elder Dong gave it to me, and he said that he would give it to you as a gift if he wanted to give it to me. You know, I don't have much money, and I can't afford anything good. Lin Jing said decisively.

"Is that really true?" Jiang Qianxue asked as she stared at Lin Jing with her big black eyes.

"If you don't believe me, we can ask Elder Dong right now. He's still here anyway." Lin Qing inwardly thought, "Elder Dong, you have to help me!"

"What do you want to ask me? Lil 'Lin, Qianxue, what's wrong with you two? Are you in a difficult situation? " At this moment, Elder Dong's voice rang out from behind the two of them.

Turning around, he saw Old Dong walk in with a satisfied expression. Just as Lin Jing was about to speak, Jiang Qianxue took the bracelet from the table and placed it in front of Old Dong, "Old Dong, this thing is too precious. Please forgive Qianxue for not accepting it."

Lin Qing had never thought that he would be the first to act. As long as Old Man Dong showed the slightest bit of doubt, then Jiang Qianxue would definitely be able to detect it. When that time came, everything would be disastrous.

Lin Qing thought in his heart, "Old Dong, please don't expose the filling!"

He glanced at Lin Jing and decisively said without the slightest hesitation, "Qianxue, you're looking down on me, Grandpa Dong. I've never taken back the things I've given you. Little Lin is a good child, I think very highly of him."

He glanced at Lin Jing, but there was still a trace of suspicion in his eyes. However, he no longer had that ice-cold feeling he had before. He turned around and said to Elder Dong, "Grandpa Dong, I still don't dare to accept this. It's too precious."

"If I let grandma know that I wanted something of your value, grandma would definitely punish me."
