Qin Junye suddenly looked up at Catherine, his face full of disbelief, completely unable to believe that his mother had left a letter for him.

"Jun Ye, you heard me right, you come to the study with me. Catherine said.

Qin Junye put down the things in his hand and followed Catherine into the study with Bai Shiyao.

There are some oil paintings hanging on the walls, and there are potted flowers and plants around the room, which looks full of life and fun. A tapestry with a knitted image of the Greek goddess, which is a portrait of the Muse, the goddess of inspiration. The space of more than 50 square meters is filled with a variety of books, mostly in French and English, and many in Chinese.

Bai Shiyao casually took out a copy from the bookshelf, which was all in French. It is densely filled with reading notes, arranged very neatly, and each word is like a beating note deminerated neatly, elegantly waiting for the master's review.

I don't know how I feel, this is Bai Shiyao's feelings.

The decoration of the whole room does not intend to reveal the elegance and casualness of the French style, every place seems to be casual, but a careful study finds that there is a different spring and autumn.

Catherine came to the bookshelf next to her desk, pointed to a beautiful box on the top floor, and said, "Jun Ye, help me take that box down." ”

The box is on the top floor, a little tall, but fortunately, Qin Junye's height is not low. Even so, he stretched out his hand to reach the box, and carefully removed it.

The golden rose pattern on the box wraps around the body, and the mottled dust on it leaks how long it has been shelved.

"Here, Aunt Jiang. Qin Junye handed over the box in his hand.

Catherine gently wiped the dust on the surface with a handkerchief, the golden veins and the brownish-red background seemed to be made of some kind of precious wood, revealing low-key luxury everywhere.

Catherine pressed the switch of the box, and there was a "click", which was the sound of the past being reopened.

The inside of the box was unexpectedly simple, Qin Junye's pupils dilated, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes were staring at the contents of the box.

Driven by curiosity, Bai Shiyao took a look at the contents of the house. There was nothing but a few letters in it. Looking at Qin Junye's expression, Bai Shiyao seemed to understand something, and silently shook Qin Junye's hand.

Catherine took out the first letter and handed it to Qin Junye, "These letters were written a few days before your mother died, and the reason why I didn't give them to you is because she didn't know if you used them." If you don't need it, you don't have to take it out to add to your troubles. ”

Qin Junye looked at the familiar words on the envelope, that's right, this is Ms. Meiling's handwriting, "Aunt Jiang, what is written here?"

Catherine shook her head slightly, "I don't know, she just explained to me, if you ask about Yu Pei, I'll leave this to you." ”

Qin Junye looked at Bai Shiyao and then at Catherine, took a deep breath, and unfolded the envelope little by little. The content of the letter is as follows:

Jun Ye, I don't know when you will see this letter. When you read this letter, it means that you already know about the jade pendant. That's right, the jade pendant is a token for me and your Aunt Xu, helping you and Tianni to make a relationship. The reason why my mother didn't tell you was because the marriage agreement was a bit hasty and hasty at that time.

At the beginning, you and Tianni were not separated from Meng Meng, and it was very good. Your Aunt Xu proposed that the two of you should be married, and the relationship between the two families could be closer in the future. But at that time, you were relatively young, and your mother was afraid that you would not like it in the future, so she did not agree.

I don't want what happened to me to happen to you again, I want you to take control of your relationship and marriage, and pursue happiness and happiness in life. So this thing ran aground.

Later, we were chased and killed by the men in black, and when we moved out, you and Tianni were inseparable. Your Aunt Xu was particularly reluctant to let you go, and re-proposed the matter of the marriage contract.

At that time, I discussed with your Aunt Xu that we would not interfere in the matter of the marriage contract. The jade pendant is used as a token, and if you like each other later, the jade pendant will be used as a token of kinship. If you don't have fate, you and Tianni will become brothers and sisters, and they will take care of each other in the future.

When I settled down, my mother regretted it a little. This decision was too hasty. Mom didn't want you to be affected, so she didn't tell you about it, but just told you to keep this jade pendant.

Therefore, this jade pendant can be said to be a token of kinship, or it can be said that it is not. You don't have to worry, your mother won't interfere in your love life.

For fear that something will happen in the future, I specially wrote this letter and handed it to you, Aunt Jiang. If you didn't ask about Yu Pei, then this letter will be used for dusty sealing, so that everyone doesn't have to be embarrassed.

But now that you have seen this letter, it means that someone has come to the door with this jade pendant, although I am a little ashamed of your Aunt Xu and Tianni, but my mother still hopes that you can follow your heart and pursue your happiness.

Mommy loves you!

Qin Junye seemed to be able to see the skinny figure who was tormented by illness, how he endured the pain all over his body and wrote these words little by little.

His eyes were slightly moist, his throat was sore, and his thoughts poured in, drawing him into a whirlpool of memories.

Catherine looked at Qin Junye with some concern, no one knows better than him and her that the child who cried bitterly in his mother's hospital bed had the courage to face life again. This letter was like a key, easily opening the door of Qin Junye's deep thoughts.

Those days of dependence on each other, Ms. Meiling's gentle smile, careful care, those past and past that cannot be returned, those beautiful things that he can only miss forever, all came to him at this moment, drowning him.

Qin Junye's body trembled slightly, and Bai Shiyao knew that he was suppressing himself hard. She felt a little sorry for his stubbornness, and stretched out her hand to interlock his fingers.

Through Qin Junye's tightly clasped her hand, his uneasiness and guilt, his nostalgia and longing, were transmitted to Bai Shiyao's heart through the temperature of his palm.

She knew all his pain.

Halfway through, Qin Junye sorted out his heart. He raised his head to look at Catherine and Bai Shiyao, and barely squeezed out a smile, "You don't have to worry, I'm fine." ”

Bai Shiyao and Catherine nodded. They didn't want to tell him that he was actually laughing worse than crying.

In the kitchen, Bai Shiyao secretly poked his head out from time to time to take a look at Qin Junye, although his mood was still very low, but he could see that he was much better.

Bai Shiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Catherine looked at her little movements with some amusement, "Actually, you don't have to worry, it'll be fine." Jun Ye: He is stronger than we imagined. ”

Peeking at the male ticket being grabbed by the elders of the male ticket, Bai Shiyao said a little shyly: "Although I know that he will be fine, I still can't help but worry about him." ”

"I know what you're thinking, and that's what happened when I was in love. Catherine said with some nostalgia.

Bai Shiyao looked at the freshly washed vegetables in her hands, as if she had encountered a huge difficulty, and she didn't know what to do with them at all.

"Aunt Jiang, how do you make these dishes, do you want to cut them?" Bai Shiyao asked with some embarrassment.

Bai Shiyao's cooking skills have always been her biggest problem. She can conduct business negotiations without changing her face, but in the face of the large and small vegetables in front of her, she can only stare dryly.

The little appearance with a helpless and sad face looks very cute.

Seeing that she was so cute, Catherine still decided not to embarrass her, "You put these dishes next to you, I'll cut them later." ”

Bai Shiyao stood in place with some embarrassment, "Is there anything else I can help with?"

"You can just chat with me next to you, and I'll do the rest. Today, try Aunt Jiang's craftsmanship. ”

Catherine's words, Bai Shiyao stood aside as if she had been pardoned, and exhaled heavily.

Catherine looked at her and couldn't help but smile, "So afraid of cooking?"

"Cooking is harder for me than talking about business cooperation. Bai Shiyao scratched her head embarrassedly, "I wasn't born to cook." Every time I cooked, I either burned or almost burned the kitchen. At home, my mom won't let me into the kitchen at all!"

Hearing Bai Shiyao's previous achievements, Catherine couldn't help but laugh "poof", put down the kitchen knife in her hand, and put the hanging head behind her ears.

"I didn't expect Shi Yao to have such a cute side. Actually, cooking is not that hard. Nowadays, technology is becoming more and more advanced, and there are many tools that we can use to help us. Catherine suddenly approached Bai Shiyao's ear, blinked, and secretly told her, "Actually, I'm not very good at cooking." ”

Such a playful Catherine and the elegant and decent Catherine didn't seem to be the same person, Bai Shiyao was a little surprised.

She always thought that Catherine was a finger that did not touch the spring water, and her slender and attractive hands should be used to paint, but she did not expect that she would have such a side, which was really eye-opening for her.

"My husband used to cook, and I only needed to eat. ”

"Then why ...... now," Bai Shiyao asked suspiciously.

"My husband passed away last year and I've been doing it myself ever since. ”

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Unintentionally aroused Catherine's sadness, Bai Shiyao was a little sorry.

Catherine smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, he's walking peacefully." When we were together, I thought he would be there for me all the time. But then he left, and I realized that there are some things that are precious when they are lost. ”

"Shi Yao, although you and Jun Ye are together. But I can see that you are very uneasy in your heart, and you don't really have much confidence in this relationship. Right?"

Hearing this, Bai Shiyao's body shook violently, and the sense of instability that she deliberately didn't think about and deliberately ignored always existed. The happier she and Qin Junye were, the more panicked she became.

"There is no high or low in love, and no one is worthy of anyone, and no one is worthy of anyone. As long as the relationship between you is equal, there is no need for you to feel inferior. You want to prove yourself, and I understand and agree with it. An independent woman must have her own independent career, not to be worthy of anyone, but to please yourself. ”

Speaking of this, Catherine put down what she was holding and told her in a serious tone, "Shiyao, you have to believe in yourself. Don't care about other people's eyes and doubts, and learn to grasp happiness bravely. ”

Catherine's words had a great impact on Bai Shiyao, like a light that illuminated the way forward. I have never told her such words, the education she has always received is that the relationship must be the right one, and the relationship with a huge difference in identity is fruitless, so she didn't dare to agree to be with Qin Junye, so she couldn't overcome the anxiety and fear in her heart, so she desperately wanted to build "Bai Xiao" into a world-class public relations company.

This is the first time that someone has told her that the door is not about money and status, but about heart and feelings.
