Chapter 135 The Origin of the Half Jade Pendant

Li Wanqing was startled, and upon closer inspection, she realized that when she took off her scarf, she had accidentally revealed half of the jade pendant hanging around her neck.

"You recognize this jade pendant?" Li Wanqing was extremely surprised. Cheng Baichuan had searched for so long but had not found anyone who recognized the jade pendant.

Unexpectedly, Meng Renjie knew him!

Meng Renjie stared intently at the jade pendant. "Is your mother's surname Shen?"

Li Wanqing paused for a moment, then shook her head. "My mother's surname is Zhao, and her name is Zhao Zhenzhen."

“Zhao Zhenzhen?” Meng Renjie murmured.

Li Wanqing nodded. Although she had joined the group halfway through, she at least knew the original owner's mother's name.

Therefore, there is absolutely no mistake.

Meng Renjie slumped onto the stool, muttering the word "impossible."

When Li Wanqing noticed that everyone around her was looking at her, she frowned slightly.

"Dr. Meng, this isn't the place to talk. Shall we find somewhere else to chat?"

Meng Renjie snapped out of his daze and said, "Let's go to my dorm first."

Meng Renjie's dormitory was a single-story house, with dormitories for the health center staff on both sides.

The room, less than 10 square meters, contained only a 90-centimeter wooden bed, a desk, and a stool.

Suitcases, shoes, and washbasins were scattered on the ground.

There was no stove inside, and a chill hit you as soon as you entered the room.

“The house is a bit small, you and Nuonuo can sit on the bed.” Meng Renjie tidied up.

"We got busy as soon as we arrived, and we haven't tidied up much here."

Li Wanqing didn't say anything, but instead took out the jade pendant and asked, "Dr. Meng, do you really recognize this jade pendant?"

Looking at the jade pendant, Meng Renjie's eyes reddened slightly. "May I take a closer look?"

Li Wanqing nodded and placed the jade pendant in Meng Renjie's hand.

The moment he held the jade pendant in his hand, Li Wanqing could clearly feel his hand trembling.

"Mom, what's wrong with Grandpa Meng?" Nuonuo tugged at her mother's clothes, looking puzzled.

Li Wanqing gently shook her head at her; now was not the time to explain to her daughter.

Meng Renjie held the jade pendant and fiddled with it for a while, tears welling up in his eyes.

Just as Li Wanqing thought he was about to say something, Meng Renjie got up and pulled a package out of the box.

He unwrapped the outer cloth, layer upon layer, showing how much he cherished the contents inside.

To Li Wanqing's surprise, there was also half a jade pendant inside, and its color and shape were exactly the same as hers.

"Dr. Meng?" Li Wanqing was shocked. Did this have to be so dramatic?

Could the original owner's mother and Meng Renjie be related?

No, the original owner's mother's surname was Zhao, Meng Renjie's surname was Meng, and the surname asked before was Shen.

Tears welled up in Meng Renjie's eyes as he trembled as he put the two jade pendants together.

"It really is Zhenzhen, it's Zhenzhen!" Meng Renjie was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

Li Wanqing and Nuonuo were both stunned. What on earth was going on?

After Meng Renjie calmed down a bit, he began to talk about the jade pendant.

"This jade pendant is a family heirloom from my maternal grandmother's family, passed down only to daughters..."

Li Wanqing couldn't help but ask, "Then how come you have some too?"

Meng Renjie paused for a moment, then revealed the secret he had kept hidden for decades with a bitter expression.

“More than 30 years ago, there was constant war. When the Shen family was in trouble, the Meng family was also implicated. The two families were scattered and broken apart, and in the end, only Zhenzhen and I were left to depend on each other for survival.”

“It was difficult to survive in those days. Zhenzhen was afraid that we would get lost and not be able to find each other, so she broke this jade pendant in two and we each took half.”

"Later, I joined the revolution, and when I came back to look for Zhenzhen, she was gone."

Li Wanqing became increasingly confused as she listened, "Why did you abandon her and leave alone back then?"

If the original owner's mother was the cousin Meng Renjie mentioned, then why was her name changed?

Meng Renjie sighed softly, "Young and impetuous, full of enthusiasm, he didn't consider how a young girl like Zhenzhen could survive in such a chaotic world."

Meng Renjie's face showed obvious regret and guilt, and Li Wanqing didn't know how to comfort him.

Guilt towards loved ones seems to be a unique emotion of that era, but once the person is gone, no amount of guilt will help.

"Where is your mother? Can I see her?" Meng Renjie asked anxiously.

Li Wanqing took her half of the jade pendant, saying, "22 years ago, she died during childbirth because of a difficult delivery."

Upon hearing this, Meng Renjie was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time. He tightened his grip on the jade pendant, and his lips trembled.

He opened his mouth again and again, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

Li Wanqing wanted to pour him a glass of water, but there wasn't even a thermos in the room.

"Dr. Meng, I'll take Nuonuo with me now. You can find me in the family area if you need anything."

Li Wanqing picked up her daughter and left. Meng Renjie would probably need some time to calm down.

After leaving the health center, Nuonuo kept asking about Grandpa Meng and her maternal grandmother.

Li Wanqing had no idea how much that was going on; even the original owner of this body knew nothing.

Who knows... that scumbag father might know even more.

Li Wanqing sighed. "A good father was born, but now he's become a good uncle?"

What is all this about?

Back home, Li Wanqing briefly mentioned the matter to Cheng Baichuan, who was also extremely surprised.

"It seems you have quite a connection with this Dr. Meng."

Li Wanqing poked at the rice in her bowl, somewhat absentmindedly. It seemed she was becoming more and more entangled with the original owner's past.

"Wife?" Cheng Baichuan spoke for a while, but Li Wanqing didn't respond at all.

I turned my head and saw her staring blankly, looking preoccupied.

"what happened to you?"

Li Wanqing snapped out of her reverie and shook her head. "It's nothing. I was just wondering if Dr. Meng would come looking for me, should I acknowledge this relative or not?"

Cheng Baichuan frowned slightly. "Logically speaking, we should still acknowledge these relatives."

"Putting aside his identity, he did help us before, and his character is impeccable, so there's no reason not to acknowledge it."

Li Wanqing turned around, her face serious. "And from a logical standpoint?"

Cheng Baichuan glanced at her. "Are you feeling a little sad about him abandoning your mother?"

Li Wanqing thought about it carefully, then shook her head. "Actually, I've never met my mother, so I can't say whether I'm sad or not. It's just that I feel..."

"I don't know how to handle this relationship?"

Cheng Baichuan picked some food for her and said, "If you don't know, don't think about it for now. Things will work themselves out."

Li Wanqing looked at Cheng Baichuan with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to say something like that?"

Cheng Baichuan looked slightly embarrassed. "Although I didn't read many books, I still learned a lot after joining the army."

Li Wanqing nodded happily, "Yes, yes, you're right."

Cheng Baichuan: ......
