Chapter 81

(Calling for favorites and recommendations!)

"How could it be you?"

After rubbing her thigh and muttering a few times, the woman who had been knocked down by Xu Junran raised her head and was instantly stunned.

A mature face came into Xu Junran's view, and he was also stunned.

"It's you?"

It turned out that the woman sitting opposite Xu Junran was none other than Sun Jingyun, whom he had met yesterday.

Today, Sun Jingyun seemed to be here to pay respects to someone, dressed in all white, looking very plain.

"Sorry, sorry."

Xu Junran knew that it must have been because he was distracted that she had bumped into him, so he quickly apologized.

Yesterday, due to the rush, Xu Junran hadn't had the chance to take a good look at Sun Jingyun, the young lady of the Sun family. But today, as he looked at her closely, he was momentarily stunned.

If Yuan Xiaoyue was a quiet rose, then Lin Yuqing was a passionate rose, full of fiery enthusiasm once she had made up her mind. However, Sun Jingyun gave a completely different impression. She combined the innocence, charm, and maturity that were usually impossible to coexist in one person, blending them together seamlessly.

Sitting on the ground, she looked like a pitiful young girl, but when she looked up, her every smile and frown was like a gentle breeze, intoxicating. When she reined in her smile, the mature and calm demeanor of someone from a noble family made one unconsciously think of her as a high and mighty fairy.

A woman like this, in ancient times, would definitely be considered a beauty capable of causing chaos.

Xu Junran made this judgment about Sun Jingyun, then his eyes lingered, and he awkwardly looked away.

Sun Jingyun, noticing that Xu Junran had turned his head after apologizing, felt a bit angry. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a chill in her chest. She looked down and her face turned bright red.

When she fell, her buttons had come undone, revealing her snow-white chest and deep cleavage...

In this era, women didn't wear low-cut tops, so Sun Jingyun felt her face was probably as red as an apple.

Hastily buttoning up, Sun Jingyun felt that this was the most embarrassing moment in her thirty years of life.

"Really sorry, I didn't see you just now."

Xu Junran had already stood up and was reaching out to help Sun Jingyun, still apologizing.

"It's okay."

Although a bit embarrassed, Sun Jingyun took Xu Junran's hand and stood up.

The touch was soft and cool, and even though it was just a fleeting touch, Xu Junran could feel the smoothness of Sun Jingyun's skin. She was the kind of woman who made men want to drag her to bed and ravish her, a complete temptress. Perhaps because she had shed the naivety of youth, she exuded a charm that made men want to indulge their baser instincts.

This was a woman who could easily lead men to sin!

Xu Junran made this assessment of Sun Jingyun.

"Um, is this yours?" Xu Junran was lost in thought when he heard Sun Jingyun's voice.

"What?" He looked at Sun Jingyun in surprise, a bit confused.

Sun Jingyun smiled, bent down to pick something up from the ground, and handed it to Xu Junran, saying, "This jade pendant is quite unique."

As she laughed, her chest trembled, and Xu Junran coughed, quickly taking the pendant and putting it in his pocket. "Thanks, it's from my mother."

Mentioning his mother, Xu Junran noticed that Sun Jingyun's smile dimmed slightly, but he didn't think much of it.

"Thank you for what happened yesterday."

Sun Jingyun said to Xu Junran.

Xu Junran waved his hand. "No need to be so formal."

Honestly, he didn't have much to say to this young lady. A beauty of her level, with her background, was too far out of his reach. Xu Junran didn't naively think that saving her life once would make them friends. To him, that was too distant and unrealistic.

"I have some things to do, so I'll be going." Xu Junran politely said to Sun Jingyun.

Sun Jingyun was taken aback, watching as Xu Junran walked away.

"What a strange person." She shook her head, feeling helpless. Recalling the jade pendant she had just seen, it was quite beautiful and clearly a valuable antique.

She had grown up by the side of the old man of the Sun family, who was well-versed in traditional Chinese culture and loved antiques. In his free time, he would teach Sun Jingyun some knowledge. Although she had only glanced at it, the jade pendant left a deep impression on her.

Xu Junran, however, was unaware of all this. He quickly went down the mountain and boarded a bus back to the city.

Back at the military guesthouse, Lin Yuqing hadn't returned yet. She was probably with Cao Junwei, registering the company. Although the process was complicated, with Cao Junwei and Chen Hongtao's help, Xu Junran wasn't too worried. His mind was in turmoil, and he needed to calm down.

"Adoptive father, no, in this life, I am actually the descendant of some important person?"

This thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Reborn in this life, he never expected to discover such a secret, which made it hard for him to accept.

Now, he faced two choices: either pretend he didn't know and return home to continue his role as the deputy secretary of the commune party committee, or stay in the capital and use Cao Junming's connections to find his parents' relatives.

But, should he really do that?

If Xu Junran were still the young man fresh out of university, he might have chosen the latter. But now, with his past experiences in the political arena, he had become much more astute. In his view, not only was it uncertain whether he could find his so-called relatives, but even if he did, would they really recognize him just based on a jade pendant?

The answer was clearly uncertain!

Xu Junran had heard of the dark side of wealthy families. The larger the family, the more brutal the struggle for power, just like in the political arena. Everyone would be on guard and even make things difficult for him. Worse still, Xu Junran didn't want to be treated like a monkey, being examined like an antique.

Since his mother hadn't asked him to recognize his relatives, just to pay respects.

Thinking about this, Xu Junran gripped the jade pendant tightly.

"Let's just pretend this never happened."
