He finally understood tonight that Sui Sui didn't have much affection for him or the Qin family as a whole; their relationship could probably only maintain a superficial facade.
————————————
This Spring Festival did not cause much of a fluctuation in Qin Suisui's emotions. She might lend a hand to the Qin family for simple things within her power, but when it came to matters that touched her bottom line, no one would do it with her.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she visited several leaders of the Nanshi Petroleum Company, where her mother had worked before her death.
One of them was promoted to the northern part of the city two years ago, so she could only send New Year's greetings by phone.
Fortunately, all the old friends are still as kind and friendly as ever. When they see her, their familiar voices always bring a sense of warmth to her heart.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Suisui went back to her father's hometown for a day. Because of what happened on New Year's Eve, Qin's grandfather remained cold towards her.
However, Qin Suisui didn't care. Over the years, she had long been used to this indifferent attitude.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, she went to the bank where she had stored the safe deposit box. She had made an appointment with the bank before the New Year to retrieve the items from the safe deposit box today.
"Ms. Qin, this is your safe!"
The bank staff gestured for Qin Suisui to open the safe.
Qin Suisui entered the password, opened the safe, and took out the jewelry box that she had stored there years ago.
The jade bracelets and jade pendants in the jewelry box still exude a unique luster, their soft warmth containing a strong vitality.
She gently ran her fingers over the jade, feeling its warmth beneath her palm.
Unlike five years ago, when she only knew that it was a keepsake left to her by her mother, and that no one but herself deserved to own it, regardless of its value.
After several years in the workforce, I've gained more experience and finally realized just how precious the jewelry my mother left me truly was.
She secretly rejoiced that Aunt Wang was too ignorant. If Aunt Wang had known the true value of these jewels back then, she might never have witnessed their dazzling brilliance in her entire life.
After receiving the jewelry box, she didn't linger at home. She finished a simple lunch, ignored Qin's father's hesitant words, packed her luggage, and boarded the high-speed train back to Huating.
Huo Zhongyuan received a message from Qin Suisui, knowing that she had already boarded the high-speed train back home, and couldn't help but smile.
It takes about an hour and a half to get back to Huating from Nancheng. Without wasting any time, he grabbed his car keys, went downstairs, started the car, and headed towards the high-speed rail station.
