Chapter 199: The Secret of the Chest
Aunt Lian was also confused, although she knew that there were things that were often placed in Jian Xi's house, but this box, how could she not have any impression at all, she patted her head, "It seems that she is old, and she can't remember it a little." ”
"I don't know what the hell is in here? In that case, just open it and see if it's okay. ”
Jian Xi proposed, but Aunt Lian pointed to the lock and shook her head. She wanted to see it too, but she couldn't remember the box, and the key was even more impressed.
"It's okay, this lock is still a piece of cake for me."
After Jian Xi finished speaking, he said that he took a hairpin or something from the drawer, and then poked it into the lock cylinder, and in less than ten seconds, he heard a click and the sound of the lock being opened.
Jian Xi put the things back, and Aunt Lian looked at her with a shocked expression, "Jian Xi, how did you do this?" ”
Aunt Lian's eyes revealed incredulity and worry, after all, this kind of skill should only be necessary for thieves, Jian Xi is really a bit unreasonable.
Jian Xi noticed Aunt Lian's gaze and smiled a little awkwardly, but she immediately reacted, "Aunt Lian, I learned this from our classmates, and there is a certain principle on it, so it is easy to unravel it, not what you think." ”
Aunt Lian was relieved, after all, she couldn't do bad things.
After the two of them finished speaking, Jian Xi immediately opened the box in order to divert his attention, wanting to see what was inside the box that had been stored for so many years.
However, as soon as he opened it, a musty smell came out, Jian Xi covered his nose and looked at it, it turned out to be a baby's clothes, and it seemed to be a birthday, and next to it was a golden lock.
"Aunt Lian, what is this?" Jian Xi asked a little puzzled.
And what she didn't know was that the moment she saw the things inside, Aunt Lian's heart was like a roller coaster, the waves were turbulent, she stared at the set of clothes and the golden lock, the whole person was stunned, and her thoughts seemed to float to more than ten years ago.
Jian Xi looked at Aunt Lian's demeanor and felt that something was not right, so she shook her hand in front of her, "Aunt Lian, you, it's okay, why don't you speak, what are these clothes and these things?" ”
Jian Xi picked up the piece of paper and glanced at it, it was a birthday, "May 18, female." ”
Jian Xi glanced at it and felt that something was wrong, this, isn't it his birthday, how could it be recorded here, could it be that this dress was from his childhood, so this golden lock?
Jian Xi just got the golden lock, took a look, but was immediately snatched by Aunt Lian, seeing her flustered look, Jian Xi felt that there might be something not very clear, could it be that Aunt Lian had something to hide from her?
But just now, at the moment when Aunt Lian snatched the golden lock away, Jian Xi still saw the word "Chen" on it, wouldn't her original family be surnamed Chen?
"Jian Xi, I, I'm ......" Aunt Lian found that she was staring at herself intently, and she felt very uncomfortable, and she didn't know how to speak. After all, she told Jian Xi that her life experience was only a few words, and she didn't delve into it for so many years, but she still couldn't help it.
"Aunt Lian, don't be like this, I said, you are my mother, you raised me so big, I don't have the desire to find real parents for a long time, so you don't have to care about what bad impression you will leave in my heart."
Jian Xi didn't tell a lie, after all, he also crossed over to this Jian Xi, although he had memories when he was a child, he didn't feel so deeply, and as for his biological parents, he was even less interested.
Aunt Lian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she should have been happy to hear this, but she couldn't be happy, Jian Xi, I'm really sorry for you, but one day you will know the truth!
Jian Xi put away the things, and didn't ask Aunt Lian anything, Aunt Lian's expression just now was not quite right, although she said that she was adopted by her, but just now her intuition told her that Aunt Lian might know her life experience, but she didn't tell herself. However, this kind of thing should not be forced in itself.
"By the way, Jian Xi, you still have to take this lock, I have always forgotten, I heard what you said just now, I don't think you should be imprisoned, this your parents should give you a peace and blessing, and you will also make me feel at ease if you carry it." Aunt Lian gave the golden lock pendant to Jian Xi.
When Jian Xi saw the thing in his hand, he obediently took it around his neck.
Aunt Lian smiled with satisfaction, and Jian Xi was also relieved.
Soon, this matter was forgotten by Jian Xi, because there was something more important, and Old Man He's birthday dinner finally arrived.
After all, it was different from those dinner parties in the past, and Jian Xi thought that he was a good elder after all, so he was a little respectful, set off in advance, and then went to the villa.
Jian Xi thought it was a hotel, but she didn't expect that there was a big courtyard behind the villa, and there was a banquet there, and the old people in the province were running around.
When Jian Xi arrived, there were several people at the door counting the number of people over there, as well as gifts, and Jian Xi found that every person who came, there were things written on it, for example, Boss Chen, gifts: jade jade bracelet.
Jian Xi looked at the gift box in his hand, compared with those bosses, it was really far behind, and what they gave was all precious things.
Just as Jian Xi took out the invitation, a mocking female voice suddenly appeared behind her, "Jian Xi, you still have a face, but we are here, I don't know if today is grandpa's birthday, what are you doing here?" ”
Jian Xi turned his head and saw Nan Xiang dressed in black, walking over with those delicate little boxes, his steps were full of confidence, until he stopped in front of Jian Xi.
"You should have prepared something today, do you want to open it on the spot and see what kind of garbage thing it is, which can be worthy of making a birthday gift for grandpa." Nan Xiang said with sarcasm in his words and disdainfully.
Jian Xi ignored her. Anyway, my own things are also carefully selected, and sooner or later they will be discovered, so they will be directly checked by those people and handed out the invitation.
"Jian Xi, send out a wooden incense burner and a pair of agarwood."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Xiang on the side laughed, "Incense burner? Agilawood? Jian Xi, you're too funny, do you think you're here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and you actually gave away such a worthless. ”
Jian Xi saw that because of her sarcasm, the two people who received the gift couldn't help but snicker, although she didn't care about other people's opinions, but after all, this was her own mind, and she was carefully selected and distinguished according to the old man's preferences.
"Nanxiang, don't deceive people too much, can you wipe your mouth a little cleaner this day, you are also a famous granddaughter-in-law, aren't you ashamed to say such things, and who said that the more expensive the better?"
Nan Xiang glanced at Jian Xi, "If you don't have money, just say it, you have to be fat in the public's face, and you will be embarrassed here, I'll show you my things!" ”
Nan Xiang opened the delicate small box in his hand, and the golden light inside immediately emanated, and the person who took it couldn't take his eyes off.
"A pair of golden toads, made of pure gold, how about it, Jian Xi, did they all flash and blind your dog's eyes? I don't think you've ever seen so much gold in your life! ”
Nan Xiang handed over the things, the two people immediately took it, and then recorded it, looking at the envious eyes of the two people, Nan Xiang was very proud, although this cost a lot of money, but she didn't care, Old Man He is the biggest card of the He family, she must hold it firmly.
Jian Xi shook her head with a sneer, she obviously felt that the pair of things were given to businessmen, or big bosses, and Old Man He was a person who paid so much attention to cultivation and quality, which was really cheesy for toads.
Jian Xi didn't want to pay attention to this crazy woman anymore, and wanted to go in directly, but who knew that she was stopped by Nan Xiang stretching out his arm.
"Jian Xi, did you say that you were embarrassed to send this thing in to eat and drink, that one cost dozens of yuan at most, do you know that the He family does not allow you to enter with this identity, you know that everyone in it has a head and a face, and you directly lowered the level of the banquet like this."
Nan Xiang seemed to be venting his anger that night.
"I'm sorry, I have an invitation, I was invited by Old Man He, if you deny me, you will deny today's protagonist, so please get out of the way, or ......"
Jian Xi hooked the corners of his mouth, but this smile looked so terrible in Nanxiang. She couldn't help but take a step back, but she still didn't retract her arm.
Just when the two of them were at a stalemate, a gentle voice came from behind.
"Sister-in-law, you can't help but lose your grace by doing this, if your grandfather and eldest brother know about it, you will probably be angry."
He Chengfeng walked over, put Nan Xiang's arm down, and said in front of Jian Xi.
Nan Xiang was inexplicable, and after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that he was He Chengze's cousin, "Do you have something to do, I know Jian Xi and I have a little personal matter, and you still want to interfere?" ”
He Chengfeng smiled, "Sister-in-law, I don't dare, but I just reminded you that today is a big day, and there will inevitably be many people, although there are no media reporters, but people's mouths are also a very fast communication tool." ”
"After all, you can get engaged to your brother for some reason, if you have any tricks now and are criticized, then the He family will definitely kick you away mercilessly, after all, they don't have any true feelings for you."
He Chengfeng leaned sideways and whispered in Nanxiang's ear.
Nan Xiang turned his head suddenly, met his gaze, raised his head and ignored it, "Okay, I'll let you go today, but Jian Xi, after these things are over, the He family will have to count them, if you are not afraid of being ridiculed by them, continue." ”
Nan Xiang put on an arrogant demeanor and entered the banquet inside.
Jian Xi sighed silently in his heart, how can he meet annoying people wherever he goes.
"Thank you just now, but even if you don't say it, I can go in, and I can't stop attending because she provoked a few words." Jian Xi said lightly, she still didn't have a good attitude towards He Chengfeng.
