Located in the suburbs, First Garden is the most upscale community in the city, which is not only reflected in the design, greening and supporting facilities of the community, but also in the property management and various security facilities.

With the help of high walls and round-the-clock security, the community is closed, with vehicles and people entering and leaving the community verified, and taxis not allowed at all.

Therefore, Pang Jindong got out of the car at the gate of the community, then nodded at the security guard who held the door, and walked straight in.

"It's the people who live here, but they're all rich, so why are they still taking taxis?" the taxi driver was confused for a moment before leaving.

In fact, Pang Jindong himself also has such feelings, whenever he sees the company's female colleagues showing various famous brands, and male colleagues showing their taste of life, one by one is either handsome and rich or white and beautiful, Pang Jindong will think in his heart: "Who of you knows that I have a mansion?"

On the periphery of the first garden are more than a dozen high-rise buildings, which surround the villa in the middle in a semicircle, interspersed with woods, streams and some landscape buildings. Villas are divided into detached, townhouse and stacked houses. Pang Jindong came to a villa in Area A, took out the key card, opened the door and walked in.

The environment in Area A is the best, all of them are single-family houses, each with its own courtyard. Any building costs millions, and the property fee alone is several thousand yuan per month. Of course, such a residence is not what Pang Jindong's monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan can afford, but this is Pang Jindong's home.

Pang Jindong entered the living room, sat heavily on the sofa, and then put the small box that Shen Jiayao gave him on the coffee table in front of him. Stared at it for a moment before slowly opening.

There is a small ring woven from tender wicker in the box, which has gone through the wind and frost of the years, and the tender green wicker has become yellow, but Pang Jindong's concentration when he first knitted it is still retained on it. Looking at this ring, Pang Jindong fell into the memories of the past.

Pang Jindong and Shen Jiayao's mother grew up together since childhood, although they are not sisters, they are like sisters. Later, the two sisters got married one after another, and the husband they found, that is, the father of Pang Jindong and Shen Jiayao, had a very good temper. As you can imagine, the relationship between the two families is very good. So much so that it has become such a relationship, the parents of Pang Jindong and Shen Jiayao are each other's godparents and godmothers.

But it didn't take long for such days to happen, just after Shen Jiayao was born, Shen Jiayao's mother passed away due to a serious illness.

At that time, Shen's father had already started his own entrepreneurial journey and was very busy all day long. It is difficult for an adult man to take care of his children, because of his deep relationship with his deceased wife, and he refuses to renew the strings, so Shen Jiayao was sent to Pang Jindong's house. In the years that followed, the two grew up together.

Pang Jindong's family's economic conditions are very poor, but even in such a stretched situation, Pang Jindong's parents still give the best care of their two children.

Until Pang Jindong was sixteen years old and Shen Jiayao was twelve years old.

At that time, Pang Jindong's parents were completely disappointed in China and began to dream of panning for gold overseas. After mobilizing all social connections and depleting all their savings, the family was finally able to immigrate smoothly by relying on a little kinship overseas.

Because there is no immediate family relationship between Shen Jiayao and the Pang family recognized by any law, Pang Jindong's parents cannot take Shen Jiayao away.

Pang Jindong's mother once considered passing on Shen Jiayao, but when she thought that when she first arrived abroad, the situation would definitely not be too good, so she had to give up. Pang Jindong's mother felt that Pang Jindong was her biological son, and he was already a half-sized man, so it was nothing to suffer a little. But she was reluctant to suffer Shen Jiayao, who lost her mother, not to mention that Shen Jiayao was still an underage girl at that time.

In desperation, Pang Jindong's parents had to send Shen Jiayao back to Shen's father.

As Pang Jindong himself said, his parents' previous plan was to take Shen Jiayao over after opening a new world abroad. However, God did not obey people's wishes, Pang Jindong's father's business failed and owed a large amount of debt to the mafia. Soon after, they both went west because of a car accident.

At this time, it was only a month before the family emigrated abroad.

After that, Pang Jindong, who was only sixteen years old at the time, began a ten-year bloody life in order to repay his parents' debts.

In this process, Pang Jindong and Shen Jiayao completely lost contact until today. And these above things were also unknown to the young Shen Jiayao at the time.

Today, before meeting Shen Jiayao, Pang Jindong's heart was very worried. Ten years have passed, and everyone has changed a lot, and when they get together again, how should they face this change? This made Pang Jindong feel frightened, and even did not want to see Shen Jiayao again.

When the reunion was unavoidable, Pang Jindong talked to Guò and found that Shen Jiayao had a deep misunderstanding of her parents, and she intuitively believed that her parents kicked her away as a burden in order to pursue a prosperous life abroad.

It is conceivable that after returning to his father, it means that Shen Jiayao has completely lost the warmth of the family. Therefore, from a certain point of view, Shen Jiayao's resentment is not unreasonable. It's just comforting that today's father Shen can at least financially compensate for the one he owes his daughter over the years.

Pang Jindong hesitated, should he find an opportunity to explain everything to Shen Jiayao clearly, or let the clear ones clear themselves and the turbid ones turbid?

Pang Jindong pulled his attention back from his memory and put it back on the ring in front of him. Suddenly, Pang Jindong found a few lines written on the inside of the lid of the box: "The concubine is covered at the beginning of the forehead, and the flower is folded in front of the door." Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums. The font is beautiful, and you can recognize it as Shen Jiayao's handwriting at a glance.

Children tend to imitate things in the adult world, although they may only see the surface of many of these things, but they don't understand what they really mean, and children like to do things as they please.

Maybe it's ten years old, or maybe it's a little older, and I forget where I saw it, and giving a ring is a sign of love. At that time, the young Pang Jindong carefully knitted such a thing with wicker, put it on Shen Jiayao's index finger with his own hands, and promised to marry Shen Jiayao as his wife when he grew up.

At that time, Pang Jindong didn't know that the engagement ring was to be worn on the ring finger of the girl's left hand. What's even more unbelievable is that once I put such a thing on a girl's hand, it means that I have made such a promise: I will spend my life to protect this girl and make her happy. The significance of this commitment does not depend on whether the ring is made of wicker or white gold, or whether it is set with a one-carat diamond.
