Chapter 88: An Unexpected Finding
“No, but if you dare to help You Ze hurt Yaoyao, then there is no need to discuss the baby issue!”
Xu Youyou didn’t care whether he was a boss or not. Anyone who intended to hurt Yaoyao would be her enemy.
Zhong Yi was in surprise. He got a glimmer of hope!
Holding up his phone, You Ze wanted to call Shiyao, but he just couldn’t do it as if his hands had been pressed by someone. Zhong Yi’s words kept echoing by his ears. He recalled the scene when he went to the room this morning, and Shiyao’s eyes were red and swollen with traces of tears on her face. You Ze got quite annoyed at the thought of it.
Bang! The phone was thrown onto the desk by You Ze.
Assistant Li behaved himself while standing aside. Having put a file on the desk for You Ze, he didn’t dare to do anything else.
He knew the boss got angry!
Having eaten and drunk to her satisfaction, Shiyao lay prone on the bed, and sized up the jewel box she had brought back from her mom’s home.
It was a beautiful box indeed, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. So she intended to find a locksmith to break it.
Last night, she had thought You Ze might have been so angry as to lock her up in the room all through, but he opened the door in the morning.
But the demon-like girl was not grateful for it! There was no way to lock her up! No way!
Bickering with You Ze didn’t make Shiyao dispirited, but made her more excited instead. Shiyao gently chose a red backless dress from the closet, and she looked sexy and enchanting in it. Then she patiently put on delicate makeup. Compared with her usual simple style, Shiyao deliberately made herself quite attractive today.
Seeing the girl on the stairs, Xiao Qing got stunned spontaneously. The girl in the fiery red dress hold a snow-white furry creature in her arms, with her hair half tied. Shiyao’s hair was just over her shoulders, so her whole back was exposed. Xiao Qing slightly regretted having called Shiyao ‘a naive child’. Actually, she was not a naive little girl, but an attractive lady!
“I’m going out now.” Shiyao said indifferently.
“I’ll go with you.” Xiao Qing set aside her own things immediately, concentrating her attention fully on Shiyao.
Shiyao smiled, “Whatever!”
The moment You Ze received the picture sent by Xiao Qing, he got so angry that he broke the nib of a pen in his hand.
“Shiyao, you dare!”
She shouldn’t go out dressed like that! Although she looked amazing, You Ze couldn’t help wanting to beat someone up as soon as he thought of the leery grin of those guys when Shiyao walked on the road!
It seemed that his punishment to Shiyao was far from enough. You Ze put on his coat, intending to return home at once, but was stopped by Assistant Li.
Thinking of a very important thing to deal with today, he had to sit down again.
“Give her a coat!” You Ze sent a message to Xiao.
He must rearrange the clothes in the closet when he returned home tonight. Since he hadn’t known what kind of clothes Shiyao liked before, he had prepared two sets for each style. After thinking about it, he decided to replace all of them with long-sleeved clothes!
There were complicated emotions on his handsome face. He really almost got annoyed to death by Shiyao.
Actually, the dress-up today was quite unsuitable for Shiyao. She had never been so scantily clad, and neither had she worn such high heels.
“Well, for you!” Xiao Qing threw her a pair of flat shoes.
How dare she behave like that with a wound on her legs? Even if she got crippled, she deserved it!
Getting quite embarrassed, Shiyao also felt sorry for her legs. She needn’t have got so angry, and now her heart was full of regrets.
“Sir, can you help me open the box?”
Shiyao managed to find a lock shop, and handed her box.
The elderly locksmith wore a pair of presbyopic glasses, and it was obvious that he got shocked by the pretty girl in front of him.
Soon the eyes of the surrounding people were focused on Shiyao. Someone put a coat on her body timely before something more embarrassing might happen.
It was the coat of Xiao Qing.
“Thank you…”
Shiyao felt an urge to slap herself! She must have lost her mind to go out dressed like this, and she was even almost taken as a star…
The old locksmith quickly pried open the lock, and gave it back to Shiyao.
Having made the payment, Shiyao couldn’t wait to return to her car to see what was in it.
It was her maternal grandma’s jewel box, so there must be some memorable objects inside.
Shiyao opened it, and there was still a lot of dust floating out.
Shiyao coughed.
Shiyao couldn’t help coughing. It had been stored for a long time, so there was dust even inside of it.
Shiyao wiped up the case carefully, and found there was only a letter and a picture in it.
Shiyao picked up the picture, and sized it up carefully in the sunlight.
“Grandpa!” Shiyao screamed! Frightened by her, Xiao Qing couldn’t help looking at her.
Rubbing her eyes, Shiyao leaned against the car window and looked at the picture carefully.
Although it was an old black-and-white picture taken over 40 years ago, Shiyao still recognized the man in the picture.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
It was her grandpa now! The Old Qin!
The reason why she could recognize him was that she once saw such a picture at the Qin’s. There was always a picture that was the same with this one in the drawer beside Old Qin’s bed, and there was even a hair clasp.
You could only see a rough outline of the woman in the picture, but she looked very happy, smiling.
“Is she… my maternal grandma?” Shiyao’s mind went blank totally.
Why? Why grandpa’s picture could be in her maternal grandma’s jewel box?
Shiyao couldn’t figure it out until she opened the letter, and she felt as if struck by lightning…
Shiyao’s face turned pale, and Xiao Qing couldn’t help asking, “What’s up? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“It’s OK! It’s OK…” Shiyao shouted.
“Go home! Now!”
The car was racing. As soon as it pulled up at the gate of the You’s, Shiyao got off in a hurry, and even Duoduo was left in the car by her.
Looking at the stumbling figure of Shiyao, Xiao Qing picked up Duoduo in suspicion. Her sharp instinct told her Shiyao must have got into some trouble!
Shiyao rushed to her room at a stretch, and her head was still spinning.
Her hand, with the jewel box in it, was shaking slightly. Having walked to her bed slowly, Shiyao knelt down on the carpet, and put the box on the bed.
She forced herself to calm down, and she kept comforting herself to accept the fact about her maternal grandma and grandpa.
But she didn’t know how to tell her mom about it. Shi Nian’s life had been destroyed by the Qin’s, and even Shiyao herself had almost been hurt.
How could she speak to her mom, and her uncle?
Her uncle, who had just returned, doted on her. He was mom’s good brother, and actually the son of Old Qin…
Shiyao felt her scalp going numb, and her heart beat so fast that there was a fit of pain on her chest. Having calmed herself down, Shiyao found she even didn’t get enough strength to stand up.
Shiyao kept asking herself again and again whether it was right or wrong to open the box.
She got extremely flurried in the heart, but couldn’t find any way to get rid of it. She was so worried that her temples kept vibrating.
