As Liang Jingu spoke, he called his apprentices and asked them to retrieve early photos of the white jade pendant and send them to him for confirmation.

At the same time, Junyao didn't hold back and kicked open the fire cabinet door, pulling out a hammer from inside.

Before anyone could stop her, she struck hard, shattering the dark runes on half of the boy's mutilated face.

Zhou Wei'an happened to walk to the door of the ward and saw this scene.

She was startled by the flying shards of white jade, and immediately flew into a rage.

"Qiao Junyao, you've got some nerve!"

"This pendant was a gift from Brother Yichuan to Grandma!"

"Who gave you permission to touch it!"

"You completely disregard the Zhou family!"

Jun Yao chuckled, "If I had known you liked this pendant so much, I wouldn't have smashed it. I would have kept it for you and used it to take your dog's life. Anyway, an idiot like you who is superfluous and in the way is just a waste of food and a waste of social resources. It would be better if you just died sooner rather than later."

Zhou Wei'an pouted in anger, hurriedly ran to Zhou Yichuan's side, and complained in a spoiled tone, "Brother Yichuan, listen to what she's saying! Is she even human? She actually thinks I'm superfluous and in the way... Waaah! She's not even a daughter of the Qiao family, what right does she have to talk to me like that!"

Zhou Yichuan irritably brushed her hand away.

His gaze returned to Jun Yao.

"You've already smashed the chain, so I have nothing to say, but you still owe us an explanation. We can't just believe you because you say this pendant will drain Grandma's lifespan."

Jun Yao pointed at Liang Jingu, "I didn't ask you to believe me. You just need to believe Master Liang. But didn't you just say you had early photos of this pendant? Take the photos and compare them with the actual item..."

Zhou Wei'an seized the opportunity, jumped up and cursed, "You've smashed everything, what physical evidence is left to compare it to? To put it bluntly, isn't this just a case of 'dead men tell no tales'? First you destroy the things, then you deliberately make up a story saying there's something wrong with them—"

Jun Yao coldly interrupted her, "Yes! You can say that my whole story is made up, or that Master Liang and I are putting on an act. You can interpret it however you want, but the most important thing is not what I did or what I said, but the result."

She turned to look at Madam Zhou on the hospital bed and said calmly, "Go and make preparations, Grandma should wake up soon."

Zhou Wei'an almost burst into tears.

"Qiao Junyao! What do you mean? What are you asking us to prepare?"

"Grandma is perfectly fine! Don't curse her!"

"How malicious of you! Saying such things in front of Grandma, doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

Jun Yao really wanted to pick up the hammer on the ground and smash Zhou Wei'an's skull.

She really couldn't understand why there were such idiots in the world.

But no way.

There are so many idiots out there. She could only patiently explain, "I told you to prepare some food and supplies! Grandma's about to wake up. She's been sleeping for so long, she must be feeling very uncomfortable and hungry. Of course she needs to eat. If you rush around preparing things after she wakes up, will you be able to manage?"

Zhou Yichuan was surprised.

Will Grandma really wake up?

Is the problem solved simply by smashing a white jade pendant worth over 2000 million yuan?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Old Madam Zhou, lying on the sickbed, let out a weak cough.

"What are you all making such a racket for...?"

"Grandma!" Zhou Wei'an was the first to rush to Old Madam Zhou's side, sobbing uncontrollably. "Grandma, I thought Qiao Junyao had cursed you... Grandma, your illness came so suddenly this time, it scared me to death!"

With Zhou Wei'an's help, Old Madam Zhou sat up and leaned against the headboard.

She smiled kindly, and seemed to be in much better spirits than yesterday.

"How can you be so rude? Yao is your sister-in-law. How can you call her by her full name so often? If others heard this, they would think there's discord within the Zhou family."

Old Madam Zhou's reprimand was gentle, yet it made Zhou Wei'an dare not utter a sound again.

Madam Zhou then looked at Jun Yao, patted the edge of her bed, and invited her over.

"Wasn't Ayao busy recording a show? Did she rush back because I'm sick?"

Old Madam Zhou looked ashamed. "Did I miss something important?"

Junyao shook her head and obediently replied, "Grandma, please don't say that. I'm not like some fools who can't distinguish between what's important and what's not. Your health is my top priority, more important than any job."

The "idiot" Zhou Wei'an next to him glared at Jun Yao fiercely.

Junyao pretended not to see anything and continued, "But you're overthinking it. Don't you know whose granddaughter-in-law I am? Is there any need to question my work ability? Everything on the filming side has been taken care of, so you don't need to worry about it. The most important thing now is how you're feeling."

Old Mrs. Zhou affectionately took her hand. "I don't know why, but every time I see you I feel comfortable all over, as if no ailment dares to bother me."

Jun Yao smiled and said, "That would be wonderful!"

Seeing how much Madam Zhou valued Jun Yao, Zhou Wei'an couldn't help but feel jealous.

She seized the opportunity to point to the broken pieces of the pendant on the ground and complained, "Grandma, Sister-in-law Qiao... just now, while you were sleeping, she went crazy and insisted on taking off the white jade pendant that you've worn for several years, and then smashed it."

"Oh?"

Following Zhou Wei'an's words, Madam Zhou looked down at the ground and indeed saw that her white jade pendant was shattered into pieces, almost unrecognizable.

Old Madam Zhou pressed her hand to her chest with heartache and regret, "Ayao, I've always worn this pendant, and there were never any problems before..."

"Madam," Liang Jingu stepped forward and asked respectfully, "You haven't had this pendant with you recently, have you? Did you give it to someone else?"

Madam Zhou opened her mouth slightly, seemingly finding his words somewhat unbelievable.

"I did take it off for a short while, but in that short time, there wasn't much I could do, right? Besides, even though it wasn't on me at the time, it was always within my sight..."

Liang Jingu shook his head solemnly, "Madam, you were indeed careless this time."

"But he has no reason to harm me..." Old Madam Zhou murmured softly.

Junyao cut to the chase: "Grandma, if I'm not mistaken, the friend you met last time and the person you mentioned who saw your pendant are the same person, right?"

Madam Zhou raised her eyes again, paused for two seconds, and then nodded gently.

Junyao: "Although I don't know why he treated you like that, everything he did must have a purpose."
