Chapter 75: The Sandalwood Box
Hearing Wan'er's name appear from Gu Zirui's mouth, Dean He's action of pouring tea paused instantly, but quickly returned to normal.
"Do you know Wan'er?"
"Recognize. Gu Zirui didn't hide it, and admitted it generously.
At this time, Gu Ziheng, who was sitting on the side, was confused. What is this, who is it? Why hasn't he heard of this person? He sounds like a girl by this name, but there is a girl next to his brother? Why doesn't he know?
Driven by curiosity, Gu Ziheng asked a very brainless question: "No, I don't know, who is this Wan'er?"
As soon as this question was asked, Gu Zirui, who was sitting next to him, immediately turned his head and glared at him.
I really don't know what this kid's president does, won't he listen to others talking? But after all, he is still his own brother, so it is difficult to lose it...... Harm......
Just when Gu Zirui was about to explain to him, Dean He spoke: "Wan'er, she is the oldest girl in our hospital, she is eighteen years old this year, she is in college, and she often comes back to see me, an old woman." She's a very filial girl......"
After listening to Dean He's introduction, Gu Ziheng also had a rough idea in his heart. But as a face control, he mainly looks at his face: "Eighteen years old, is it good-looking? Where to go to ......?"
"Gu Ziheng!!"
Sensing the extremely low air pressure beside him, Gu Ziheng immediately shut up. It had been brewing in his heart for a long time, and the words that were about to pop out of his throat were all swallowed back into his stomach at once.
has been a brother for more than 20 years, and Gu Ziheng still knows something about his brother. When I joke with him, he may not laugh, but he will never get angry.
But if you joke with him when he is working hard or has something particularly important, then the end will definitely be miserable.
As for why he knows so much about these, it is because he has personally experienced those so-called miserable ends, and ...... And more than once.
Seeing that Gu Ziheng was finally obedient, Gu Zirui moved his gaze back to Dean He's body: "Did you bring it up with you?"
"Of course. Speaking of this, Dean He paused, and his originally focused eyes slowly became a little sluggish, as if he was recalling something......
Seeing this, Gu Zirui didn't urge her, and let her slowly recall.
"Eighteen years ago. I met Wan'er at the door of the orphanage, and she was only a day or two old at that time, and she was very young. Fortunately, it was not winter at that time, otherwise, she was afraid that she would have frozen to death at the door. ”
"Since you know Wan'er, you should also know that she has a friend named Lin Chen. When Wan'er entered this orphanage, Lin Chen was already there. At that time, our orphanage had not yet been funded, and life was very deplorable. If I want to grow up with the two of them alone, I have to go out to work, so in fact, many times, it is actually Lin Chen who takes care of Wan'er. ”
Hearing this, Gu Zirui's heart was filled with an unknown emotion.
"It was also after Wan'er came in, I never took in any of the children again, and the three of us lived in the old dilapidated house. It wasn't until Wan'er was eight years old and got your sponsorship that she began to recruit many new children one after another. ”
During this period, many people actually said that they wanted to adopt Wan'er, but she refused. So until now, even when she goes out to study, she still comes back to see me from time to time and then comes back to help. Speaking of this, Dean He evoked a happy smile.
It seems that in her mind, Wan'er is her pride.
But also, to be able to educate such a well-behaved and beautiful girl who can win scholarships every year, everyone else will feel very proud.
After going through what Dean He said just now, Gu Zirui didn't find any information related to her life experience: "Ask me a little bit about it, can you tell me what the situation was like on the day you picked up Wan'er?"
As he expected, when Dean He heard this, the smile on his original face suddenly froze. His brows furrowed unconsciously, "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm in Chawan'er's life story now. ”
Gu Zirui's straightforwardness made Dean He not know what to say for a while. She was silent.
Seeing that she didn't want to speak, Gu Zirui directly gave his promise: "Don't worry, I won't harm her." I swear as the young master of the Gu family, I really just want to help her find her background. ”
But Dean He still didn't speak, and Gu Zirui didn't continue to urge, he and Gu Ziheng sat quietly on the side, waiting for Dean He to make a choice.
In the end, Dean He still spoke: "Forget it, you will all know sooner or later." It doesn't hurt to tell you. I really don't know about my background, but when I picked her up that day, she had nothing on her except a small box. ”
"The box is made of sandalwood, and it looks noble, and there is no special pattern on it. And inside the box was a silver chain, and the necklace I had put on her neck the day I picked her up, and it should be on her body now. There is nothing special about the silver chain, but there are two words engraved on it, which is Wan'er's current surname, Situ. ”
After saying all this, Dean He stood up. Then he walked to the bookshelf behind the desk, rummaged through the cabinets for a while, and then took out a small box from it and handed it to Gu Zirui.
"No, this is the box where the silver chain was put back then. ”
After Gu Zirui took it with both hands, he lowered his head and looked at it carefully. Gu Ziheng, who was sitting on the side, also leaned over and observed the wooden box with him.
According to Dean He's description, this wooden box should have been many years old. But its appearance is still the same as the new ones I bought in the mall now, and I am afraid that it is well protected.
The wood is made of fine sandalwood, and if you smell it closely, you can smell a faint aroma. It was carved with strange patterns, like words they had never seen before.
"These patterns ...... It's so familiar......" Gu Ziheng, who was sitting next to Gu Zirui, said his inner thoughts, "It seems that I have seen ...... somewhere"
Gu Zirui, who also felt this way, nodded and did not speak.
