Chapter 768: 768, the necklace has been changed.
Rong An had already poured the water, he didn’t react to their words, but only took out a transparent medicine bottle from his pocket. As he slowly sprinkled the powder into the water, he said, “Let Miss Tian sit down and talk.”
Two men stepped forward, one on her left and one on her right, pressing on Tian Ye’s shoulders, forcing her to sit down on the couch.
Immediately after, Rong An held up the cup of water and swirled it around, waiting for all of the medicine to dissolve before approaching her.
Tian Ye trembled fearfully, too scared to speak.
Instinct told her that the cup of water contained no good substance.
…
...
The cup was brought to her lips.
Tian Ye tried desperately to shake her head in avoidance, “No, I won’t drink, I won’t… Mm!”
But it was to no avail.
A strong hand suddenly grabbed her chin, sharply lifting it, and then another squeeze.
Her mouth was forced open, the cup tilted, and all the liquid inside was poured into her mouth.
Tian Ye could not resist the drink, with two men holding her shoulders and her mouth under control, she could not break free from the strength of three men.
Due to the rapid forced drinking, the liquid went into her nose and throat, causing her to cough violently.
Finally, after all the liquid had been poured in, the hand left her chin.
Before Tian Ye could say anything, her mouth was suddenly gagged with tape.
Rong An dumped the empty disposable cup and medicine bottle into the trash can, “You two watch her here, remove the tape from her mouth after half an hour.”
“Okay.”
Rong An left.
Tian Ye was forced to sit on the couch, watched by two men. Her eyes widened, her nostrils quivered as she breathed, and she was completely lost and frightened.

On the other hand, Xu Jing finally came out of the women’s restroom.
She had recently started experiencing early pregnancy symptoms, such as severe nausea and vomiting. She had just finished vomiting in the restroom, leaving her feeling almost faint.
As she rounded the corner, the sound of her phone ringing suddenly began.
Xu Jing stopped and took her phone out of her bag.
No sooner had she said “Hello” than her arm was bumped, and her bag dropped onto the carpet.
“I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.”
A bright and sweet voice of a girl kept apologizing, “Ma’am, I didn’t hit you, did I?”
Xu Jing looked up at her, furrowing her brows.
The girl was definitely beautiful, but why was she dressed in a black suit? Was she a guest at tonight’s event?
On the phone, Mo Weiyi asked, “Auntie? Where are you?”
“I… I’m in the restroom.”
“Madam, I will get your bag for you.” The girl picked up the bag from the floor, even kindly zipped it up for her before handing it over.
Xu Jing, busy with the phone call, didn’t pay any attention to her movements. She took the bag and immediately turned around, “I’m on my way.”
“…”
After Xu Jing had left, Gu Pingting laughingly took out a delicate jewelry box from the sleeve of her suit.
Hehe, it’s been a long time since she had to do this kind of thing, she hadn’t lost her touch at all.
She immediately dialed Zhan Yao on her phone and reported, “Captain, the necklace has been switched. What’s next?”
“Hide the item and join us for dinner.”
“Okay!” Gu Pingting quickly stuffed the jewelry box back into her sleeve and walked into the banquet hall.

Xu Jing quickly came to the lounge, put on her gown, opened her handbag, and took out a jewelry box.
Inside the box was a string of jade beads.
This was a replica that she had found in a mall a few days ago, after a month of searching all the jewelry stores in Nancheng.
It was almost identical to Xu Xian’s priceless jade necklace.
She put the necklace on her neck.
Paired with her crescent-white gauze gown, the jade beads shone brilliantly yet warmly, illuminating her snow-white skin and radiating a charming glow under the light, looking almost exactly like the real thing.
Xu Jing smiled slightly at herself in the mirror.
The woman in the mirror was gentle and beautiful, her figure graceful.
At first glance, she really did resemble Xu Xian.
…
With such self-confidence, Xu Jing entered the banquet hall.
By now, the banquet hall was already filled with noise and excitement.
The venue was lavishly decorated with a professional band performing, their beautiful piano music filled every corner of the banquet hall. The scent of wine and food was intoxicating.
As soon as Xu Jing entered the hall, someone came to greet her, “Ms. Xu.”
It was the maid who had been taking care of her recently.
“The master asked me to take you to him.”
“Okay.”
The maid stretched out her hand for Xu Jing to hold, and carefully led her towards the head table.
Xu Jing, in her nude-colored stilettos, walked with an elegant demeanor, with a faint smile on her lips.
At the main table, the elder Mo sat chatting with a few old friends, with Mo Yaoxiong and the elder Mrs. Xu sitting to one side, and two of Xu family’s relatives.
Upon hearing the maid’s voice, everyone at the table turned to look.
As Mo Yaoxiong lifted his gaze, his originally calm face changed dramatically.
The elder Mrs. Xu also became solemn.
Unaware, Xu Jing spoke softly, “I’m sorry, I was feeling a bit unwell just now.”
She looked at the seats, “Where is Yiyi?”
The elder Mrs. Xu stood up immediately, her voice stern, “Xu Jing, come with me.”
Xu Jing feigned ignorance, “Mom, what’s wrong? Yiyi called for me just now, I…”
Before she could finish her words, she had already been pulled away by Old Lady Xu.

The old lady was in her sixties, but since she had been working in the fields for many years, her legs were nimble and her strength lingered, she seemed anxious due to her anger.
Watching Xu Jing being dragged away, the old Mo master was genuinely worried, so he hurriedly instructed, “Yaoxiong, go and have a look.”
“Alright.” Mo Yaoxiong had no choice but to get up.

Old Lady Xu dragged Xu Jing into the break room, “You all wait outside.”
A few of the Mo Family’s workers hurriedly left.
As soon as the door closed, Old Lady Xu turned and looked at Xu Jing.
Her gaze was sharp and piercing.
Xu Jing pretended not to understand, “Mom, what’s wrong?”
Old Lady Xu’s gaze fell to the necklace around her neck.
The next second, she reached out directly.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Xu Jing tightly protected her own necklace, “This is a necklace I bought myself!”
“Did you buy it yourself?”
“Yes! I just bought it at the mall last week!”
Old Lady Xu withdrew her hand skeptically, “Why did you buy a necklace exactly like Axian’s!”
Xu Jing was surprised, “What do you mean it’s exactly the same? Does my sister also have a necklace like this?”
“You didn’t know? When Axian married Yaoxiong, this was the wedding gift Yaoxiong gave to her!”
“I didn’t know.” Xu Jing looked innocent, “Mom, I just thought the necklace was pretty, and besides, it’s just a glass bead, not real jade, it only cost me thirty or forty thousand.”
“Thirty or forty thousand?”
“Yes.” Xu Jing pursed her lips, her tone suddenly aggrieved, “Just because my sister has a necklace like this, does that mean I can’t wear one like hers? Mom, my sister is gone, she’s been gone for almost five years now! When will you stop favoring her so much!”
Old Lady Xu’s face changed slightly, “What on earth are you talking about?”
Xu Jing forced a smile, “Mom, you’ve always preferred my sister over me since we were kids. Whenever something good happens, she’s the first you think of. You would give her the good things first! Whatever she didn’t want would fall into my hands. It’s always been like this. Even men! I told you that I liked Yaoxiong, but you said he belonged to my sister. You’ve never cared about my feelings. In your heart, only my sister is the best. I can never compare to her! Even after having a daughter, you prefer Yiyi and don’t like Yunyao! And now you’re getting angry with me over a similar necklace! Mom, you’re so partial! Aren’t I your daughter too!”
Having said that, she lowered her head, emitting a soft sob.
Old Lady Xu was speechless.
Xu Jing pulled out a tissue from the box and wiping her tears, she said, “Today is Yiyi’s birthday, I don’t want to argue with you. Let me say it one last time, I bought this necklace for myself, it has nothing to do with my sister. I’ve never seen her necklace, and I didn’t know she had one like this!”
Haltingly, Old Lady Xu sighed, “I just hope you know what you’re doing and don’t forget why your daughter was sent to Italy.”
This sentence was obviously a warning.
Xu Jing threw the tissue into the trash can, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, I have nothing on my conscience.”
Old Lady Xu nodded, “Whether you’re pretending you don’t get it or you’re truly oblivious, I’ve made my words clear. You’re my daughter, and Yiyi’s aunt, I hope you’ll keep that in mind.”
Having finished speaking, the old lady turned and left.
The door closed, Xu Jing sat there, taking another tissue and wiping her tears slowly until the door was pushed open again.
She said impatiently, “Mom, how many times have I told you that I bought this necklace myself …”
“Xu Jing.”
Xu Jing quickly looked up, “Brother-in-law?”
Mo Yaoxiong shut the door, his eyes landing on the jade necklace around her neck.
“Xu Jing, why did you buy an identical necklace to ‘Eternal Heart’?”
“Brother-in-law, I’m sorry.” All Xu Jing could do was apologize, “If Mom hadn’t confronted me just now, I really wouldn’t have known that the necklace I bought is similar to one that you presented to my sister. This is all my fault., If it makes you uncomfortable, I will take it off immediately.”
She immediately lowered her head, stretching out her hand intending to take it off…
“Don’t bother.”
The moment the voice sounded, a glimmer of a smile quickly flashed across Xu Jing’s eyes.
Then she let go of her hand and raised her face, “Brother-in-law, I really didn’t do it intentionally, is this necklace really similar to the one you sent to my sister all those years ago?”
Mo Yaoxiong’s gaze wavered a bit and he denied, “It’s fine, not too similar.”
Actually…
It’s more than very similar.
It was exactly the same.
Ever since Xu Xian passed away, Mo Yaoxiong had given the ‘Eternal Heart’ necklace to Mo Weiyi.
So, it’s been a long time since he last saw this necklace.
The moment he saw it in the banquet hall, he was not exaggerating when he said he thought he had seen the twenty-year-old Xu Xian all over again.
It was exactly the same.
Willow leaf eyebrows, melon seed face, fair skin, exquisite facial features, slender and attractive figure, wearing a crescent moon white silk embroidered dress, set off against that jade necklace, a gentle southern belle…
Looking at the man’s somewhat entranced expression, Xu Jing boldly stood up and slowly walked to him, “Brother-in-law.”
Mo Yaoxiong still didn’t say anything, but his gaze remained on her face, as if drowning in memories, and he didn’t snap back to reality for quite a while.
Xu Jing gathered her courage and extended her hand, slowly moving it closer…
However, before she could touch the man’s face, Mo Yaoxiong quickly took a large step back.
His voice was more stern and calm, “Xu Jing, what are you doing?”
“I…”
“When I told you to keep the baby, it was my father’s idea, not mine.”
Once this was said, Xu Jing’s face grew pale again.
Indeed, Mo Yaoxiong continued his cold words, “Actually, I don’t really care whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl. Yebai is excellent, and his relationship with Weiyi is also very good. I’m not worried at all about entrusting the Mo Family to him.”
“You’re very smart. You found my father, knowing he has always been critical of Yebai and doesn’t trust Yebai. For the sake of the Mo Family’s lineage, he would choose to protect the child in your belly.”
“But you overlooked one thing, my father cares more about face than I do. So no matter whether the child in your womb is a boy or a girl, whether the child can be born or not, the things you are expecting will never happen, they won’t happen ever!”
Xu Jing looked at him, her eyes welling with tears, and her fingers tightly clenched.
“Wipe your tears away, don’t let Weiyi see something is wrong.” Having said that, Mo Yaoxiong turned and left.
Xu Jing stood there, an eerie smile suddenly hanging on her lips.
Actually, she already knew, Mo Yaoxiong had always suspected that the child in her belly was not his, but he just couldn’t find any evidence, that’s why he gave her a direct order to abort it.
