Chapter 1: The Wedge
In the early morning, City Y seemed to be covered with a white veil, and the road was wet, as if to tell the people who were still asleep that it had rained last night. The rain washed over the noisy city as if to wash away its dust. The road is full of people, it is a bustling and crowded city, and everyone is busy running around for life.
In a high-end apartment.
"Xuanxuan, it's time to get up, if you don't get up, you'll be late." There was a knock and urging at the door.
"Grandpa, let me sleep a little longer" A lazy female voice came, with the hoarseness of getting up early, but the tone was a little coquettish.
Inside, the pink room is filled with sweet smells.
A bag arched up on the bed, and long hair was draped over the quilt. The person sleeping inside squinted his eyes and pulled the thin blanket to cover his head, and continued to dream of Zhou Gong inside.
As if he had known that this was the case, the old man outside the house smiled dotingly and turned into the kitchen. Ten minutes later, the old man came out with breakfast, a bowl of white porridge and a plate of xiaolongbao. There was also a plate of boiled eggs in plain water, a plate of cucumbers and pickles on the table.
After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, the old man sighed and walked to the door of the room and knocked on the door; "Xuanxuan, if you don't get up again, you won't be able to catch up. Come on, there are your favorite xiao long bao and pickles". After saying that, he went back to the dining room and ate by himself, glancing at the closed door, while picking up a bowl of white porridge and drinking it slowly, as if eating in this way could attract people in the house.
The door opened.
THE OLD MAN TURNED HIS HEAD TO LOOK, AND A GIRL WEARING PINK KITTY CAT SUIT PAJAMAS AND DRAGGING THE SAME CARTOON HELLO KITTY SLIPPERS WALKED OUT WITH LONG FLUFFY AND MESSY HAIR.
After seeing the old man, he immediately showed a smile and grinned happily: "Grandpa, it's early!" I'm going to wash up and change! The old man smiled and nodded. Ye Xuanxuan walked back to the room, and before closing the door, she didn't forget to smile at her grandfather and stuck out her tongue to remind: "Grandpa, leave me some xiaolongbao" After speaking, she closed the door.
Ye Xuanxuan is twenty-eight years old this year.
When she was ten years old, her parents divorced because of their incompatible personalities.
She was also awarded to her mother by the court because of her parents' divorce, and she began to live with her grandparents after her mother went abroad, and 15 years ago, her grandmother suddenly died of an emergency.
That day was also the first time she had seen her mother since her parents divorced. Wearing delicate makeup, wearing a generous and decent black suit, she looks like a standard strong woman.
This mother, who is related by blood, gave her a strange but cold feeling.
She knew that it was her mother, but she never expected her to give herself a trace of warmth and care.
For no other reason, her mother rarely appears, and only major events will come home, such as her grandmother's funeral, but her grandfather did not complain.
Because my grandparents only have one daughter, my mother. Back then, they arranged a marriage for her as they thought it was suitable, but they didn't expect that their daughter and son-in-law would come to divorce one day. The two old men always felt that they were wrong at the beginning, so they never complained even if their daughter didn't come back.
After that funeral, everything was calm again, her mother went abroad again, and Xuanxuan still lived with her grandfather after that.
Grandpa was very kind to her, and all the good things were left to her.
After her grandmother's funeral, her grandfather gave her a necklace that her grandmother wore for the rest of her life.
It was the best gift she had ever seen, a phoenix-shaped colorful glass pendant, strung with a transparent string.
She didn't know what the string was made of, but her grandmother had never broken it all her life, so it shouldn't be ordinary!
I vaguely remember that my grandfather said that this necklace was a token that had been handed down by their family, and it was originally going to be passed on to her mother, but.
Remembering what her grandfather frowned at that time and didn't continue, she felt very distressed.
So she took the necklace and carried it with her ever since.
Maybe because of family reasons, she has been more sensible than others since she was a child, and she learned housework very early. She also studied hard, especially after her grandmother died, she began to read day and night, hoping that books could bring her spiritual strength and erase all the pain in her heart.
Ye Xuanxuan relied on excellent grades all the way to college, and then she chose to study abroad, and she chose her favorite jewelry design.
In the years she spent abroad, she often walked around by herself, looking for design inspiration with what she saw with her eyes.
Then, after she returned from school, at the age of 25, she was already the youngest jewelry designer at home and abroad. There are countless brands that ask her to design every year. She only chooses to accept cooperation according to her own requirements.
Sometimes, she thinks, she's just a person without warmth!
Thinking back to the fragments she had experienced in the past, she patted her face and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
She still has a grandfather! She tried to smile in the mirror, grinned and opened the door and stepped out.
A moment ago, she was a kawaii soft girl with an unkempt head and wearing cartoon pajamas and slippers, but after turning around and changing clothes, she looked like an unbeatable queen.
I saw that her retro hair was only raised with a white jade lotus hairpin, and she was wearing a modified cheongsam long skirt embroidered with lotus flowers, which made her even more bright and moving. She still wears her favorite phoenix colorful glass necklace around her neck.
"Grandpa, let's eat some more," she said to the old man with a smile as she sat at the table and picked up her white porridge.
The old man looked at her kindly and pushed the plate of xiaolongbao in front of her. "Grandpa eats it, you eat, grandpa watches you eat." After speaking, he looked at her with a smile.
Ye Xuanxuan nodded and stopped talking, and ate slowly.
Grandpa's breakfast was simple, but it was a taste of home. She likes to eat with her grandfather, but no matter how busy she is, she will take the time to come back every day to eat with her grandfather.
Although she is a well-known jewelry designer, she still loves this simple life. She never thought of chasing fame and fortune, and now she has long been famous, she just bought a small apartment of 100 square meters to live in, and her current assets are enough to buy a few villas. And she still hasn't changed her original life because of these, not only that, but her work is also based on her own preferences.
After breakfast, Ye Xuanxuan was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks when her grandfather stopped her, "Go out quickly, I'll clean up, I don't know if I can catch up with the time." Grandpa took the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and began to clean up, and she had to let go.
I looked at my watch, and time was really running out. "Grandpa, I'll leave first, and try to come back at noon to eat with you!" After saying that, he took his bag, changed his shoes, and walked out quickly. The old man smiled and nodded to see her out, thought about it and chased her out, and shouted to his granddaughter who walked out, "Xuanxuan! Take it easy, no matter what the outcome is, at least you've tried. Ye Xuanxuan turned her head and nodded quickly and ran away, she was afraid that if she was a little slower, tears would flow out. Her grandfather always cared about her so much, afraid that she would be sad and uncomfortable if she lost the game.
