My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 341

Chapter 341: Chapter 338: The Jade Pendant Was Returned
After Xiaomuqing entered the house, Li Muning put down the Things in her hand and said to Meng Yue with a smile:
“Your daughter is so cute, well-behaved and sensible, not needing anyone to worry…”
“…”
Meng Yue frowned, looking at her friend with a complex expression, not wanting to speak for a moment.
If others praised her daughter, she would mostly be quite happy, feeling as if she was being praised too.
But only when Li Muning praised her daughter did she feel unhappy.
Because it would feel like taking advantage of her, a great loss.
In her eyes, Li Muning was equivalent to saying: “The better your daughter is, the more I gain from my son. Wahahahaha!”
As for the phrase ‘not needing to worry’, she even wanted to complain that if it weren’t for Ye Ziming, she truly wouldn’t need to worry about anything.
Alas, no matter how she thought about it, she felt like she was losing, which was very annoying…
While they were continuing to chat, Xiaomuqing had already entered the house.
When she arrived in the living room, she saw Ye Ziming’s father, Ye Mingxu, and an unfamiliar elder brother.
The two were sitting by the tea table, brewing tea and chatting. It was evident they were quite familiar, likely friends.
“Uncle.”
A simple greeting, out of politeness.
“Ziming is in that room, you can see him by walking in.”
Seeing Xiaomuqing’s appearance, Ye Mingxu pointed inside the house and said with a smile.
Like Li Muning, before she could ask, they already knew why Xiaomuqing was here.
“Oh, oh.”
She nodded, continued walking inside, and followed the direction the uncle pointed to find the room.
After she left, Sun Ruiming looked at her retreating back, then turned his head and asked Ye Mingxu beside him in a low voice.
“This is the one the Lin family just brought back this year, right?”
“Yes, our family’s future daughter-in-law.”
Nodding, the corner of his mouth curved up, Ye Mingxu bowed his head, fiddled with the teapot, chuckling to himself.
“…”
Hearing this, Sun Ruiming frowned, his eyes becoming very subtle. He looked at Ye Mingxu, wanting to retort.
He felt that his old friend was showing off.
“You’re lucky, unlike me, who worries all day.”
After a short while, he sighed slowly, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of bitter tea.
He was very distressed, not because his son had grown so big without finding a partner to bring home, but because his son might never find a partner.
Such a big man, wearing women’s clothes and dressing like a woman all day, he was truly afraid that one day his son would bring a man home.
Alas, the picture was too beautiful, he dared not imagine it, otherwise his high blood pressure would flare up again.
On the other side, in the room next to the living room, this was a side hall, also used for receiving guests.
When Xiaomuqing arrived at the door of the room, she saw Ye Ziming and a girl sitting on the sofa, seemingly chatting happily.
For a moment, she almost clenched her fists and entered combat mode, ready to fight the girl in front of her.
However, before she could do so, the ‘girl’ on the sofa looked up, and their gazes met.
“Sister-in-law.”
This ‘girl’ spoke with a perfectly pure manly voice. Looking down, one could see her Adam’s apple bobbing up and down.
It was very obvious.
Then, Xiaomuqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the ‘girl’ in front of her seemed to be called Sun Luo.
She had met him some time ago, during a trip to the north.
PS: At that time, a certain loli was even jealous.
“Uh, what are you guys doing?”
Coming back to her senses, Xiaomuqing quickly withdrew the murderous intent in her eyes, smiled awkwardly, and asked her good brother.
In this situation, she was a bit confused.
“Your Jade Pendant has been repaired.”
Beside her, Ye Ziming picked up the box on the table and took out the Jade Pendant to show Xiaomuqing.
As he spoke, he patted the sofa beside him and beckoned Xiaomuqing to sit next to him.
“Jade Pendant?”
Hearing these words, Xiaomuqing’s eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly ran to Ye Ziming’s side and sat down.
This Jade Pendant was a very important Thing to her.
With its existence, Xiaomuqing could continue to attend school as a boy, maintaining her normal social interactions with her classmates.
So after the Jade Pendant was broken, she longed for it to be repaired every day.
PS: Actually (not at all), her mind was filled with Ye Ziming. If the Jade Pendant hadn’t been returned, the stupid loli wouldn’t have thought of this.
After sitting down, Xiaomuqing eagerly picked up her Jade Pendant and examined it, looking left and right.
“This… is my Jade Pendant?”
After looking for a short while, her high spirits were like being doused with a basin of cold water, and it dissipated instantly.
Because the Jade Pendant in her hand had undergone significant changes.
Originally, it was a very ordinary round Jade Pendant, like a small disc with a hole in the middle, to string a rope and wear it around her neck.
Now it had carvings and was inlaid with gold threads, looking much more high-end.
“Ahem, it’s like this, your Jade Pendant was quite badly damaged at the time, so…”
At this moment, Sun Luo stepped forward in time and explained to Xiaomuqing the situation with repairing the Jade.
The method they used was secondary processing, connecting the jade while using patterns or gold threads to cover the cracks.
There was no other way, although it was said to have been broken into two pieces, there were really many cracks on it, hence the big change.
“My Grandfather personally fixed it, satisfied?”
Sun Luo told Xiaomuqing about the repair process of the Jade Pendant with great confidence.
In his opinion, Lin Muqing couldn’t be unsatisfied, because the Jade Pendant looked even more beautiful and unique after being repaired.
Moreover, any jade ware handled by his Grandfather was never bad.
But what he didn’t know was that Xiaomuqing didn’t care whether the Jade Pendant looked good or was valuable.
What she cared about was whether this Jade Pendant could still make her look like a boy when worn, just like before.
“Mm, very satisfied, thank you.”
Before Xiaomuqing could respond, Ye Ziming nodded first and said to Sun Luo with a satisfied smile.
He was truly smiling, because he was happy.
“It’s nothing, just remember to send me the money later.”
“I’ll transfer it to you later.”
“Okay.”
The two were chatting happily. Xiaomuqing beside them lowered her head, frowning, and looked at the Jade Pendant that had finally returned, feeling a bit complex.
This Thing, being made into this, was still useful?
If someone hadn’t said it, she wouldn’t have recognized it as the Jade Pendant she had worn for many years.
emmm, I should put it away first, and try it when I get home later.
There were outsiders here, and it was clearly inconvenient to try.
With a bad feeling, Xiaomuqing put the Jade Pendant back into the box, and then closed the box and put it away.
After finishing these actions, she turned her head to look at her good brother, and at Sun Luo, the cross-dresser sitting on the other side.
“Ye Ge, are you free recently? We brothers haven’t gone out to play together in a long time.”
After discussing the matter of the Jade Pendant, Sun Luo and Ye Ziming started chatting familiarly.
