Chapter 240 Dust-covered Diary

Chen Canghui was still young at that time. With her passion and talent, she quickly became famous in the jade carving industry and became a famous talented girl.

It was also at that time that she received a mission from her family to help Chen Haishu secretly create a clan leader seal that belonged exclusively to him.

Just as the rumors said, Chen Haishu, who was already the head of the family at that time, was already engaged.

That person was Jiang Wanning’s deceased grandmother, Yang Huan.

Marriages between wealthy families are the product of no emotional foundation.

In addition, due to Yang Huan's personality at the time, she was actually very resistant to the marriage arranged for her by her family.

So on a sunny afternoon, holding Jiang Wanning's grandfather's hand, she took the initiative to confront her family and broke off the marriage engagement with the Chen family.

It is said that my grandmother was often severely beaten by my great-grandfather because of this.

Of course, it also brought a great shock to Chen Haishu, who had been sealed in the family's thinking at that time.

It also made him finally realize at that time that he had already been subtly attracted to Chen Canghui.

It was just the difference in status and the rigid moral and ethical constraints that made every step the two took for love difficult and dangerous.

The first price the two paid for this was that Chen Canghui's parents were targeted by the elders of the family, becoming an example of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

A father who was forced to jump off a building and a mother who was bedridden completely crushed the innocence of Chen Canghui's girlhood.

It also forced her to walk into a deeper abyss when she saw the dark side of human nature.

The swampy road covered with thorns and mud left her covered with wounds. She had to push away the one she loved deeply again and again, while sinking deeper and deeper on the road of so-called "self-rescue".

It was not until Chen Haishu decided to completely give up the position of patriarch for her and pass it on to a more suitable candidate in the family that he completely angered a group of old antiques in the Chen family elders' council.

This unprecedented incident in the Chen family's history led them to launch a decades-long process of holding the two men accountable.

During this period, it was common for the two of them to hide from each other or be displaced and separated from each other.

The two of them were rarely together and were always frightened. They were full of youthful ambition at the beginning, but in the end, life finally smoothed out their edges. Then they decided to take the risk and escape to a residence abroad to live in seclusion for decades. This led to the series of events that happened later when they met Jiang Wanning and others.

…

Although these seem simple now, they indeed cover almost the entire lives of the two elderly men, Chen Shuang.

Jiang Wanning stroked the yellowed paper at the edge of the diary and the clearly beautiful handwriting on it.

It is not difficult to guess that these contents were recorded by Chen Canghui when he was still young.

Later, when she and Chen Haishu started to run around to make a living, she no longer had the energy to record her life. She still carried this diary with her, which she thought was a memory of her past youth.

I feel that fate is really a cruel thing.

Jiang Wanning sighed and closed the diary again.

At the same time, she also noticed that the diary mentioned some past events of her grandmother Yang Huan. She suddenly stood up as if she remembered something and walked towards the study on the top floor of the villa.

This was not her first time in this study, but it had been some time since her last visit.

Because of a series of changes that happened at home during this period, no one has been to this newly built study for a long time. The huge attic is now filled with loneliness and desolation.

Fortunately, the servants in the house would come to clean from time to time, so there was no visible dust accumulated on the things in the attic.

Seeing that the layout here was almost the same as the last time she came here, Jiang Wanning followed the scene in her memory and easily found the display cabinet still placed in the corner of the room.

It was still the jade cat with half of its horn missing. Jiang Wanning reached out and took the cowhide document bag placed behind it.

After just two seconds of hesitation, Jiang Wanning had already reopened the cowhide bag.

It was still the family portrait with a whitened and curled edge. Jiang Wanning's eyes swept over the faces of those people, whether familiar or unfamiliar, one by one, and finally stopped at a young couple who were cuddling each other in the corner.

The two are a perfect match, one with a calm and proud look on his face, the other with a gentle smile, both of them are full of vigor and vitality.

The clearly familiar outline finally reunited with Chen Haishu and Chen Canghui in Jiang Wanning's memory.

Only then did she begin to wonder why she had felt such an inexplicable sense of familiarity when she first met the two old men in that small town on the edge of the star country.

It turned out that they had known each other many years ago.

At the same time, Jiang Wanning noticed a young man standing next to the two Chens.

The other person looked rather feminine and indifferent. Although he was smiling, his eyes and brows always gave people an inexplicable gloomy illusion.

He was a complete stranger to Jiang Wanning, but what made her pupils shrink suddenly was a green tree-shaped tattoo inadvertently exposed on the man's arm.

If Jiang Wanning remembered correctly, it was exactly the same tattoo picture that Yu Nanxi showed them when Su Qing was in danger!

Could this person be the real culprit behind this series of events? !

But who is he? Why don't I have any impression of him?

Jiang Wanning frowned fiercely, and her eyes swept over the little boy standing next to the man's legs, whose eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Shi Wang.

While not understanding why Shi Wang appeared in this photo, she was even more horrified. What kind of connection was there between her and the man behind her that she didn't know about?

The weather in Singapore's subtropical season is always changing.

Seeing that the sky outside was covered with dark clouds and it was getting dark again, with a heavy rain coming, Jiang Wanning pursed her lips, put the photos back into the display case, and then went downstairs to her room.

However, what surprised her was that as soon as she came back, Xie Yanchuan followed her in.
