Chapter 328 Lost and Found
"What?" Jiang Xing didn't want to think too hard, so she opened her eyes to look at him first.
The man stood beside the sofa, looking down at her.
He then asked, "What are you looking for?"
Jiang Xing took a few seconds to realize that he knew she was out in the rain looking for something.
“A pendant,” Jiang Xing said, closing his eyes and making it up on the spot.
What pendant?
"...It's just a pendant."
How could she know what kind of pendant that didn't exist was?
Lou Qi was so angry he laughed, but he didn't laugh out loud when he saw her sickly appearance.
Jiang Xing kept her eyes closed and didn't hear him make any more noise. The high fever and the combined effects of the medication made her eyelids heavier and heavier, and she gradually lost consciousness.
Fell asleep.
Lou Qi waited until her breathing became steady, then took a blanket from the room and covered her with it.
A few minutes later, the property management sent a message.
Lou Qi opened the door and walked out. The door was half-closed, and he pointed inside.
The property manager nodded, extended his hand, and placed a small, sparkling... diamond ring in his palm.
He lowered his voice and said, "As you instructed, we continued searching for a long time after Miss Jiang left, and we also checked the surveillance footage. We found this diamond ring in the land. I don't know if it's the one you're looking for."
"Didn't you find anything else?" Lou Qi asked. "Like a pendant?"
The property manager shook his head: "We have reviewed the surveillance footage from the past three days, and we did not see any footage of Ms. Jiang losing her pendant."
Lou Qi took the diamond ring that he had personally thrown away, his fingertips trembling slightly.
He looked into the room, but from this angle he could only see the back of the sofa and a corner of the blanket; he couldn't see Jiang Xing at all.
If you still won't accept it, then what's the point of going out to look for it?
What is this woman thinking?
"Mr. Lou?" The property manager was a little confused.
Lou Qi looked at him and said, "I don't want other people to hear about this."
The property manager nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, keeping quiet is a basic quality of ours."

When Jiang Xing regained consciousness, it was slightly bright outside the window.
She was somewhat dazed, unable to distinguish whether it was just dawn or about to get dark.
She raised her hand to find her phone to check the time, and suddenly noticed something on her right ring finger—the diamond ring that Lou Qi had thrown away, which she had searched for despite the thunder and lightning!
Jiang Xing sat up abruptly, raised her hand in shock, and wondered if it was a hallucination.
Raise your left hand to touch it, and it's really there!
How could it... have appeared in her hands again?
Jiang Xing felt a mix of shock and a strange sense of something lost and then found... something he had lost.
She remembered that Lou Qi was standing in front of her before she fell asleep.
Lou Qi took the delivery guy's job and delivered medicine to her.
"Looking for me?" A man's voice came from the direction of the study.
As soon as Jiang Xing looked up, she met Lou Qi's gaze as he came out of the study.
He was probably in a meeting, holding a tablet in one hand and wearing a Bluetooth headset on one ear.
Jiang Xing didn't say anything.
A few seconds later, Lou Qi said to the other end of the tablet, "Continue tomorrow," ended the meeting, put the tablet and Bluetooth headset aside, and walked towards Jiang Xing.
"What do you want to ask?" He glanced at the dazzling diamond ring on Jiang Xing's hand.
Jiang Xing raised her right hand, the diamond ring on her middle finger facing him: "Didn't you... lose it?"
Lou Qi retorted, "Aren't you looking for something?"
"I……"
Jiang Xing wanted to say that this wasn't what he was looking for.
However, Lou Qi's determined gaze made her realize that continuing to lie was both foolish and a blatant attempt to cover up her mistake!
