Chapter 124 - Protective Talisman (2/2)

Therefore Chen Fan didn’t need to care about how well his mother’s company was doing. However, the company was everything to his mother, and therefore, he wished that it could do well all the same.

Sister An seemed to have taken Chen Fan’s advice seriously as she fell into deep thought.

“Sister, stop thinking about that for now.” Chen Fan said: “I have a gift for you.”

“What kind of gift?” An Ya batted her lashes and asked expectantly.

Her little brother had finally grown up and had learned to treat other people nicely.

Chen Fan produced a jade talisman. The talisman was made by the highest grade mutton fat jade. It was pure white in color and had an incredibly smooth texture. Upon closer look, one could even find fine cloud-like patterns in the jade,

The talisman was carved with ancient symbols, making it look mysterious.

“Is this for me?” Sister An gaped and asked incredulously.

She knew that without even considering the master craftsmans.h.i.+p, the material to make this jade talisman would cost over a few million yuan.

“Xiao Fan, where did you get the money?” An Ya pulled a taut face and said: “I hope you didn’t do anything bad while you are away from home. Otherwise, I will not let you get away with it.”

“Of course not. Look at the jade, how nice it is. It’s made from mutton fat jade. I bought it from my friend for only a few thousand.”

Chen Fan lied.

An Ya was not convinced; however, she let Chen Fan string the talisman around her neck.

Chen Fan went behind her and was tying the red string around her neck. She felt Chen Fan’s hot breath on the nap of her neck. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed red.

The jade talisman rested on her chest, and she could feel the heat it gave off. Although the winter air was chilly, she didn’t feel cold at all.

An Ya didn’t pay much attention to the sudden change of her mood. She blamed it on the stress from work.

“Xiao Fan is just a kid, what the h.e.l.l is wrong with me?” She thought to herself.

“Here you go.”

Chen Fan clapped his hands and gazed down at the girl.

Her face was blus.h.i.+ng, turning as red as an apple. Chen Fan didn’t pay much attention to her sudden shyness; he said seriously: “Sister An, never ever take this off. You need to wear it at all times. I have asked for a blessing from a monk, so this talisman can protect you from evil and keep you safe.”

“Really? “An Ya asked with surprise. “Not even while I’m showering?”

“No!” Chen Fan said firmly.”You must promise me.”

Holding Chen Fan’s gaze, An Ya felt her heart was going to jump out of her chest. She lowered her head and nodded.”Yes.”

Then she heard Chen Fan heave a sigh.

This jade talisman was not an ordinary jade pendant. It was a talisman made from the supreme-grade jade collected by Third Lord Wei, and Chen Fan had worked countless day and night to refine it.

As long as the wearer kept the talisman close, the magic in the talisman could counter the bad luck of being hit by trucks three times in a row. Plus, this talisman would never expire, and therefore was superior to those that lasted only once.

It’s immense power meant that Chen Fan could only create four of such talismans. He planned to give them to his parents, Xiao Qiong and Sister An.

Chen Fan then fished out another two talismans, and he told An Ya to give them to mother and father as a new year’s gift from her. He reminded her not to tell them that it was from him since he worried that if his parents wouldn’t take his words seriously.

An Ya’s mind was filled with questions; however, considering Chen Fan’s good intentions, she nodded and agreed to do as she was told.

When the two returned home, they had a great meal, and after dinner, they kept talking with each other until late in the night.

The next day, Chen Fan’s family was going to go to Jin City to celebrate the new year. Ever since his family fell out with the w.a.n.g Family, they spent every new year at the house of his grandfather on his father’s side.

“Jin City, here I come!”

Chen Fan looked out of the car window wistfully.

“I wonder if my old friends had changed at all?”
