Chapter 49
It all started when I was fourteen years old, when Shan Muxi handed me the letter.
Despite the overwhelming rejection on the surface, I couldn't contain my inner doubts and curiosity and chose to open the letter.
The fire paint seal is not easy to remove at all, and I struggled a little. When opened, it was found that there was a yellowed letter and a mobile USB flash drive.
I opened the letter, read only a few lines, and hurriedly stuffed it back into the envelope. I opened the study materials and tried to distract myself from the study, but unfortunately I couldn't read a word.
In the end, I reopened the letter, and a past that I had never touched came to my face......
One sparse and ordinary night, a young girl gave birth to twins.
The young and rebellious girl, who had been away from home for many years, lost contact with her relatives and did not have enough livelihood to support her to raise her two children, she decided to give up one of the twins.
Which one should I give up? She was a little worried.
The sister who was born first didn't have the consciousness of being old at all, she cried all day long, and after being gently comforted by her in her arms, she always showed a sweet smile.
And my sister, who has always been quiet, only whimpered low when she was very hungry. This child, obviously just a baby, always gave her a fear of seeing through everything.
She held her sister in her hands and coaxed gently, no one in this world can be more gentle than a mother, this is the only bit of maternal instinct left in her body, so she made a decision almost instantaneously.
She walked a long way and abandoned her sister in the orphanage farthest away from home.
It was a cold winter day, and when there was no one, she lightly put her sister into the mailbox at the entrance of the orphanage, and then quickly closed the mailbox door and left without looking back. The whole time, the child didn't make a single sound.
She threw away a child, but at that moment, she felt a lighter than she had ever felt before.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, she remembered that winter morning, when she closed the door of the mailbox, the daughter she had discarded, and smiled at her that smile that had never been seen before. She couldn't remember the real scene at the time, but in her dream, she forgave what she had done in this way.
She lived with her sister for a while, and felt more and more that life was difficult and difficult to maintain.
In the cold spring season, she took her sister to the department store to rub the heat, and she sat in an overcrowded chain coffee shop, did not consume a single product, and calmly occupied a table.
"Hello, may I sit here?" The young man who came to talk to him was handsome and wore a coat that seemed to be worth a lot of money.
She nodded.
The man put down his coffee cup and pulled out a chair to sit down, carrying a travel bag that looked equally valuable, and she was keenly aware of a diamond ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
The man felt her gaze and smiled slightly: "Ling Yuan looks very cute." ”
He doesn't speak standard Chinese, but he has a clear voice.
The child in his arms seemed to understand the stranger's praise, and showed his own standard sweet smile at the other party.
"Ma'am, actually, I'm a designer." The man said slowly, "I like this child very much, can I make a baby bag for this cute child?" ”
The baby swaddling clothes she wrapped around her child were very thin, using one of her old clothes. The good Samaritan may have seen through her predicament and wanted to lend a helping hand in this way.
"You see, I'm really a designer." He said, "I can make clothes." ”
He opened the bag and took out the contents of the bag. She saw a piece of cloth, some needlework tools, and a booklet, which the man opened and turned the pages to show her, and there were many beautiful dresses drawn on it, and each page was pasted with the corresponding cloth, and there were some text notes next to it, which she did not recognize.
She pointed to the signed-lettered text in the lower right corner of one of the pages, and she had some impression of the string of letters: "What is this?" ”
The man read it again and said in Chinese: "Zhinian Shuxi, this is my name." ”
She thought for a moment, "Is there a store of yours in this mall?" ”
"Yes."
"Then you're pretty good."
Zhinian Shuxi shook her head with a smile: "A small brand, not worth mentioning." ”
She was silent: "What do you use to make a baby bag for my baby?" ”
"I only have this piece of fabric in my hand now, and although it's a little lighter, it's a good fit for baby's skin." Zhinian Shuxi whispered, "However, if you don't mind waiting for a while, I can ask my assistant to send a more suitable piece of fabric." ”
"No need." She was worried that the man would repent, and said, "That's it." ”
"Okay." Ji Nian Shuxi smiled and nodded, and began to move. He is fast, and the image of threading the needle is as elegant as a work of art.
"Don't you have to compare?" She picked her daughter up and put her on her lap, "Maybe it's going to be small, or maybe it's going to be big." ”
"Thanks, no need."
"You ......," she thought for a moment, and changed her word, "do you have children?" ”
"I have a son." Zhinian Shuxi's tone was a little lonely, "But I don't see him often." ”
"Why?"
"Because, I'm busy at work."
He must be lying, she thought.
"Huh?" Jinian Sook-hee's movements suddenly stopped.
She looked down and found that when she was not paying attention, the daughter in her hand fell on the table, and a pair of small hands were grasping the man's small and delicate silver scissors, making a similar "cut" action.
The last time she cut her clothes to make a baby bag, she didn't pay attention to let this ignorant little baby poke a hole with scissors, and her heart hurt for a long time. She was afraid that the uncaring child would cut this piece of fabric, which was worth a lot of money at first glance, so she hurriedly snatched the scissors. The little baby didn't make a fuss, tilting his head and smiling at the man opposite.
"Do you like to make clothes, too?" Zhinian Shuxi lowered her head and whispered to the child.
"Hehe, my baby, I also grabbed a pair of scissors when I caught Zhou, and it seems that I have a lot to do with the profession of designer." She lied without changing her face.
Zhinian Shuxi smiled, took the scissors, and sped up in his hand, and after a while, a baby bag was ready. She put it on for the child, just right.
"Can you sign this?" She exposed a corner of the fabric on her head.
Zhinian Shuxi was stunned, but she didn't refuse, and took out a pen and waved her pen to sign her name on the material.
She thanked her, left the coffee shop, walked quickly to the service desk, and the shopping guide showed her signature and asked if she knew the designer, and the shopping guide guided her to find the store with the same name.
It was one of the most prominent locations in the mall, and the clerks inside were all dressed in the latest styles of the store, and she was greeted by a tall and thin clerk. She pretended to be casual and walked around the store for half a circle, pointed to a random piece of clothing, and asked, "How much is this?" ”
The clerk quoted a price.
Her eyes widened and she forced her composure: "Oh, I'll take another look." You're busy with yours first. ”
The clerk opened the store, she had a plan in her heart, and ran quickly to the coffee shop with the child in her arms, almost colliding with Zhinian Shuxi, who was pushing the door open and was about to leave.
Zhinian Shuxi helped her, and before she could speak, she was robbed of her white:
"Sir, you like my child so much, I'll give her to you, okay? To tell you the truth, I can't support her at all, I've already thrown her twin sister in the orphanage, and if you don't take her away, I'll have to throw her away. ”
……
After reading the letter, I didn't react for a long time. By the time my consciousness returned to my body, I had already picked up the mobile USB flash drive on the side, and one side of the mobile USB flash drive was written in Japanese: I must look at it alone.
The library of the college has an open computer room, and there were only three or two students in the computer room that day, so I found a corner position in the last row and plugged the USB flash drive into the computer.
It's a video file that I put on my headphones.
Clicking on the video, I saw the face. I know that face very well, and I can see it every day in the mirror. The only difference is that I never have a smile like that on my face.
That's the standard smile of the upper-class girls I usually see, they have been trained in this area since childhood, how to smile, and how to show a few teeth when laughing is elegant and decent.
But she is different, her smile is not even under her eyes, it is just a mask attached to her face.
"Lanting, have you read the letter? I don't think I need to be introduced, you know who I am when you see this face. But for the first meeting, such a process is still necessary. ”
She speaks fluent Chinese: "Lan Ting, I'm my sister, Zhinian Yu Ji." ”
My hands clenched into fists nervously, and there was a pang of pain in my palms.
"That letter was written by that woman when she abandoned me." She smiled, casually mixed with a bit of sarcasm, "However, if you see the people around me, you will feel that that woman, shameless and calm is an advantage, at least I think her trust is very credible, otherwise I won't find you......"
She looked at the camera fixedly, or rather me on the other side of the camera: "Next, you decide for yourself whether to trust me or not." The man named Shan Muxi is a helper hired by my current father's wife in Niel, and his job is to find my twin sister, which is you, to replace me, and then take my inheritance of the Jinian Sook-hee brand. ”
She spoke slowly, as easily as if she were discussing the weather with someone: "But that guy ...... Not entirely at the mercy of the woman. In fact, that woman would choose Shan Muxi to do things, which was completely calculated. Shan Muxi is actually from his father's side. ”
"To be honest, I didn't intend to disrupt your peaceful life. But, now, you can't get out of it. So—"
After a pause, her smile deepened:
"Lanting, if I say that only you can save me, are you willing to save me?"
