"Is this pocket watch yours? Who's the person on it?!" Ning Yichu's heart felt like a huge storm was brewing. He suppressed his inner restlessness and waited with bated breath for an opportunity...
Her eyes were earnest and filled with enthusiasm...
"This is mine..." Gu Sinan's expression finally improved a little. He showed a nostalgic expression and wiped the photo on the pocket watch with care. "This is my first wife, Yu Huaiqing."
Yu Huaiqing...
The strange name struck Ning Yichu's heart.
The person in the photo is smiling like a flower, with a lively spirit on her beautiful face. She is very beautiful, a kind of beauty that can fully convey that long period of time through the photo.
This really...is not Ning Qingwan.
For some reason, Ning Yichu felt as if it was just as he expected...
She vaguely felt that Ning Qingwan actually hated her face. This could be seen from the fact that there were almost no photos of her when she was young at home. Even if she had not gone completely crazy, there was not a single photo left of her youthful years with Shen Zilan.
"Yu Huaiqing, why does she look so much like my mother? Is it a coincidence or are they related?!" Ning Yichu could no longer suppress the trembling in his heart and asked directly!
Gu Sinan's expression visibly brightened, as if the person in the photo gave him great support.
He smiled elegantly and reassured Ning Yichu, "No, this is just the fate of the Creator."
"This pocket watch was taken when Huai Qing and I were dating and I took her to a Western-style house. I used the camera myself. It was an old-fashioned one back then, so you probably haven't seen it before."
Talking about the past, Gu Sinan's face softened a lot, and his eyes seemed to still be filled with infinite love...
"Pingjiang Photo Studio." Ning Yichu gave the clue straightforwardly.
This really shocked Gu Sinan, "Have you checked everything?"
Ning Yichu remained silent instead of answering.
The word "Pingjiang" may have brought back too many past events. Gu Sinan's eyebrows and eyes seemed to have aged a little and looked a little decadent.
He gave a wry smile, "Indeed, since you were able to obtain this pocket watch, you must also know the photo studio... That photo studio is indeed where I developed this photo."
"At the time, I was going abroad to study finance. Huai Qing couldn't go with me because of family reasons, so I left with this pocket watch and photo..."
This is not what Ning Yichu wants to hear!!
Her voice unconsciously became a little cold, "Director Gu, what I want to ask is, did you do anything to Pingjiang Photo Studio afterwards?"
"Why do you ask?" Gu Sinan was puzzled. "I only developed the photos there once, and I haven't been back since..."
Ning is clear about his original intention.
The one who wiped out Pingjiang Photo Studio might not be... Gu Sinan!!
What Mo Boyu once said suddenly popped into his mind.
He said that Gu Sinan and Li Jianbin became sworn enemies when they were young because they were fighting for the same woman. Could it be Li Jianbin?
"As for your mother..." Gu Sinan looked a little sad.
He was never a person who was sad about the passing of time, but he always felt a little apologetic when facing Ning Yichu and Ning Qingwan.
"She just looks a lot like Huai Qing. When I first met her, I was a little bit out of control. But at that time, she seemed to be no longer single. There was basically no contact between her and me."
Gu Sinan smiled slightly, apologetically, "This may not be the answer you want, but I have rarely interacted with Ning Qingwan in my life."
"Then...why were you and I treated so well when we worked together? Why was my mother so out of control when we met in the cafe?"
All the doubts that had been lingering in Ning Yichu's mind for these days were finally asked out loud.
Gu Sinan paused, obviously not knowing how to answer.
He considered his words for a moment. "Perhaps it's because your mother and my wife are similar, but more importantly, I admire your indomitable courage and outstanding talent. In short, I feel very sorry for your mother's life."
As his fingers tightened, Ning Yichu's mood could no longer be described as turbulent...
Everything that existed before was overturned again.
"You may not know that your mother was also very talented when she was young. Although she was young, she had a good temper, was elegant and gentle, and the things she designed were also very talented..."
Talking about the past, Gu Sinan's eyes showed a touch of nostalgia. "Although she looks very similar to Huai Qing, I can tell her apart. Huai Qing is much more lively than her. Huai Qing is impatient and always jumps around..."
Gu Sinan couldn't help but smile.
The figure in his memory eventually faded away, and only the photo he kept stroking in his hands could still pull him back to the past...
"I never thought I'd meet your mother, Miss Ning, in this life. Although she's aged a lot, I think if Huai Qing were still alive, she'd look similar, maybe with a few more laugh lines at the corners of her eyes..."
Gu Sinan was completely immersed in his own world.
Ning Yichu's palms kept tightening and loosening. She took a deep breath and asked, "Then do you know who my biological father is?"
"I'm sorry, although I knew Miss Ning Qingwan when I was young, I didn't interfere too much in her affairs. Later, she left the design industry, and I have no idea about her subsequent development."
"In that case, how do you know she's not single?"
"I only vaguely saw it once. A car came to pick her up. After she got in the car, she was kissing the man, but it was too blurry and I couldn't see who it was."
