Chapter 1731: Unlucky Heiress (1)

"Dad, Mom, I specially got these safety charms for you. Whenever you're out, you must keep them on."

Tang Guo personally hung the two charms around the necks of the middle-aged couple and reminded them solemnly, "You must wear them at all times. No matter what happens, you can't take them off."

Chen Xian and Zhao Wen touched the so-called safety charms hanging from their necks, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Xiaoguo, are these really charms from a temple?" Zhao Wen pinched the cool jade pendant. "The charms I've seen people bring back are triangular pieces of paper. They don't look like jade tablets like this. You little girl, instead of saving your pocket money, did you spend it recklessly on buying things for us again?"

Tang Guo shook her head. "They really are safety charms. I went to a temple to have some fun before, and I think I met an extraordinary person there. He said these two charms could keep you safe and help you avert disasters. Besides, I've been having bad dreams lately. Better safe than sorry, so I brought these two pendants out."

"Dad, Mom, you have to wear them. No matter what, you can't take them off. Otherwise, I'll get angry, and if I get angry, I won't speak to you for days."

Seeing how serious Tang Guo was, Chen Xian and Zhao Wen couldn't help laughing.

The two quickly promised that they would never remove them. They wouldn't even take them off while bathing.

The charms were jade pendants suspended by sturdy cords, so there shouldn't be any problems.

If the cords wore out after a long time, they could simply replace them. This was their daughter's heartfelt gift, and naturally they wouldn't disappoint her. Besides, the jade pendants looked quite nice. Whether worn inside their clothes or outside, they looked good.

"Xiaoguo, get some rest early. There are only two months left before the college entrance examination. Even though your studies are intense, you still need proper rest. Just do your best and perform as you normally would," Chen Xian said.

Tang Guo nodded obediently. Only after reminding them once again that they were not allowed to remove the charms under any circumstances did she return to her room.

"I wonder what kind of master this girl met. It seems she was really frightened," Zhao Wen said with a smile.

Chen Xian touched the jade pendant around his neck. "It looks pretty good. Since Xiaoguo says it was given by some master, we'll wear it. Whether it works or not, it'll at least put her mind at ease."

"Mm, we'll keep them on and won't take them off."

Chen Xian and Zhao Wen were the adoptive parents of this body's Tang Guo. They were good people, but they would lose their lives in an accident on the day of Tang Guo's college entrance examination. That was why Tang Guo had given the couple those safety charms.

At this moment, Tang Guo had already returned to her room and was recalling all the misfortunes this body would suffer in the future.

When the original owner was very young, her biological parents had taken her on a trip. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred there, and she became separated from her parents and older brother. In the end, she somehow got on a vehicle with strangers and arrived in this place, where she met the kind-hearted couple, Chen Xian and Zhao Wen.

The two had been married for many years without children because Zhao Wen had physical problems. But they never intended to divorce over the matter of children. Tang Guo's arrival happened to fill the void in their lives.

At that time, the original owner had been too young to remember her family. She only knew her own name. The couple had tried asking around everywhere, but the place where they lived was very far from where the original owner had been born, and communication was poor. Since the child only remembered her name, there was simply no way to trace her origins.
