"But his friend said he could give me the heirloom jade pendant as a token. He promised he wouldn't run away and would come back once he got the chance," Bai Ruozhu said, dabbing at the corner of her eyes. "It's just that his illness is very severe now. I didn't want to worry mom and dad, so I didn't mention it earlier."
Bai Yihong, and Lin Ping, who had hurried over, were both dumbfounded. They hadn't heard anything about this, but seeing Bai Ruozhu's desolate face it seemed like she wasn't lying. Were they kept in the dark by their daughter all this time? Was Mr. Du really a friend of Chang Sheng?
The crowd began to reassure Bai Ruozhu, saying that Chang Sheng was an affluent and well-off man, and he would definitely return safely.
