Chapter 10: Memories of the Ring and Necklace 02
In the evening, Duanmu Jichu, Duanmu Jimo and Ximen were discussing the official operation date of the Couple's House, while Bai Yuanyuan and I were boredly looking at the stars outside the meeting room.
"It would be perfect to open on Valentine's Day, February 14. In the romantic atmosphere filled with roses, couples can walk hand in hand into the couple's room and create their own couple clothing and hairstyles. It will definitely be a sensation."
"It's a long wait until February 14th, Valentine's Day. It's such a waste of time. I think it's better to set it on Chinese Valentine's Day. The traditional Valentine's Day is also a good selling point."
"Yes."
…
The discussion in the conference room was intense, but I had to wait outside bored because I had been threatened by some jerk, "Just try and go home by yourself." I was counting the stars and chatting with Bai Yuanyuan, when suddenly there was a commotion downstairs in Xingxu Building, and then the elevator door of Xingxu Building opened, and a familiar figure walked out of the elevator, followed by several bodyguards in black clothes and black pants.
It's Duanmu Jichu's uncle. Why would he come to school so late?
I was wondering when another girl came out of the elevator. She was a girl I didn't know at all, but when I saw her appearance clearly, I was completely stunned.
Beauty!
A first-rate beauty!
Oh my God, is she an angel?
The beauty had a small and delicate oval face, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a nose and mouth that were all as exquisite as an angel in a painting. She wore a valuable and elegant white Chanel dress, with a golden belt tied around her waist, which made her look very light. She seemed to have a natural fragrance. When she walked past me, I even felt a fragrant lily petal floating with her.
"Oh my God, what a beautiful girl!" I couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yes, very beautiful, but she looks so familiar." Bai Yuanyuan also exclaimed with me, and then screamed again, "Ah, I remember, I saw her information a few days ago. Her name is Duanmu Xuexi, and she is the adopted daughter of Duanmu Jichu's uncle a few years ago. The information said that she is an orphan. Her parents died in a car accident when she was young. She has been living in the UK and is a student at the Royal Academy. But why did she suddenly return to China?"
Bai Yuanyuan whispered a string of information to me, but my ears only received a few key words: Duanmu Xuexi, orphan, car accident.
Duanmu Xuexi...Xuexi...
She is Xuexi!
I stayed where I was, replaying the story Leo told me in my mind:
When Duanmu Jichu was a child, he had a playmate named Xuexi. Once, due to Duanmu Jichu's willfulness, AURORA Group lost a big business, Xuexi's father was laid off, and the whole family was forced to move away.
On the day Xiao Xuexi left, Duanmu Jichu went to see her off and gave her a beautiful necklace with a ring on it.
"Xuexi, when I will be able to recognize you at a glance. No matter how old you grow, you must wear it." Duanmu Ji Chulian reluctantly put the necklace on Xuexi personally.
Xuexi nodded to him while crying: "I will definitely wear it, you must come to see me, Master Jichu."
Although reluctant, Xuexi was still carried by her father onto the moving company's big truck.
But from that day on, Duanmu Jichu never saw Xuexi again, and he would never see her again. Because on that day, a car accident happened on the highway, a moving company truck collided with a long-distance bus, and Xuexi's family never woke up again...
…
Duanmu Jichu always thought that it was his willfulness that killed Xuexi's family, and he always felt guilty towards her, so he often fell into a coma. Now, the little girl he thought was dead came back alive to find him, and she has grown into such a beautiful girl. What kind of reaction will Duanmu Jichu have if he sees her?
I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt very uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
I stared at Xuexi with wide eyes without blinking. She followed Duanmu Jichu's uncle obediently. When she passed by me, at that moment, a silver necklace with a ring on it slipped from her neck. The shiny ring inlaid with broken diamonds made a series of crisp sounds on the ground and rolled to my feet.
"Ah——" Xuexi exclaimed softly, her pretty face full of nervousness.
I bent down, picked up the ring, and handed it to her: "Is this yours?"
She turned around and saw the ring on my hand, smiled brightly, took the ring, gave me a perfect court salute, and winked at me cutely: "Thank you for picking it up for me, this is my most important treasure, I will cry if I lose it."
Her voice is as beautiful as her looks. From head to toe, she is simply flawless.
Moreover, he has a very kind personality.
Although I was still feeling uneasy, my impression of Xuexi gradually improved.
"Xuexi, hurry up and don't talk to random people."
Duanmu Jichu's uncle seemed very unhappy that Xuexi was talking to me, so he stopped and urged her.
"Got it, godfather." Xuexi responded obediently, then stuck out her tongue at me mischievously, made a helpless expression, waved at me secretly, turned around and followed the footsteps of Duanmu Jichu's uncle.
“So beautiful, so cute, and so kind. How can there be such a perfect person in the world…” Bai Yuanyuan sighed softly behind me.
Yes, she is beautiful, cute and kind, she is simply the incarnation of an angel. She is completely different from a gangster like me. Most importantly, she has childhood memories with Duanmu Jichu.
And Le Ou said that when they were young, Duanmu Jichu liked her very much.
So……
Perhaps because of my low self-esteem, my mood became increasingly low and I was almost depressed to the extreme.
I can’t think about it anymore! If I keep thinking about it, I will burst into tears.
Warning myself like this, I tried hard to look away from her.
At this time, there was a sound of a door opening in front of me, and Duanmu Jichu's uncle had already walked into the meeting room with Xuexi. I don't know if it was intentional, but the door of the meeting room was not closed. Through the crack in the door, I could clearly see Duanmu Jichu's expression and his eyes shining with surprise.
Then Xuexi threw herself into his arms, and he hugged her back tenderly.
That gentle look, that gentle strength...
I once thought that his gentleness was a privilege that only I had, but now that I think about it, it’s not the case at all. Xuexi has always been in his heart and he has never forgotten her...
My tears flowed again, I couldn't bear to watch it anymore, I turned around, wiped my tears, and walked downstairs silently.
