Chapter 462 Even Death Can't Separate Them
Jiang Yao was a little surprised and nervous.
It seems I can’t hide it from my mother.
She pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and then said with difficulty: "Mom, actually I want to tell you..."
Seeing that she was unable to speak, Lan Qiuru simply spoke first: "Are you and Beiting getting married soon? Do you want me to help you speak well in front of your grandparents so that you can get married as soon as possible?"
Jiang Yao: “Ah?”
Lan Qiuru covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, taking a sip of coffee. "You don't have to hide it from me. Were you with Beiting last night? Don't worry, Mommy is very open-minded and won't tell your grandparents."
Jiang Yao held his forehead speechlessly.
Why didn't she realize before that her mother was such a gossipy person?
"Mom, aren't you afraid that we might have a baby?"
Jiang Yao originally thought that after hearing this, his mother would feel a sense of crisis.
However, the reality is that Lan Qiuru didn't care. "What's the big deal? Didn't your father and I get pregnant before we got married?"
"ah?"
Jiang Yao opened her eyes wide in surprise. This was the first time she had heard of this, but she immediately realized the key point: "Do you remember the past?"
Lan Qiuru was startled when she heard this, and met her daughter's expectant gaze without hiding anything, "Yes, of course, since I returned to the Jiang family and spent so much time with my parents, I remembered a lot of things!
I remember the joy of my childhood, and the scene of you and your father facing your parents and asking for their consent..."
I thought I would always forget it.
But during this period of time, Jiang Yao's father's face became gradually clearer in his mind.
She remembered that she seemed to have fallen in love with that face at first sight.
Later, I got to know his personality and spent a long time with him, and we were very compatible in every way.
She didn't believe in soul mates before, but everything changed when she met that man.
Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Mom, aren't you sad?" Jiang Yao asked with some concern.
"You know what you're worried about." Lan Qiuru smiled back, "I used to often feel lonely and sad in my dreams at midnight. It was because I couldn't remember his face, and there was a void in my heart.
But now my memory is gradually coming back, and even if I am not sure where he is now or whether he is dead or alive, I will not be discouraged.
Because this person will always occupy the most important place in my heart, even death cannot separate us."
Such love moved Jiang Yao.
At this moment, she couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that even if she told her mother about Xiao Zhengrong, she would be able to accept it.
"Mom, I want to tell you something—" she told the story slowly.
Lan Qiuru was startled after hearing this, and the light in her eyes gradually brightened. "Is it really true that he is back?"
Her expression was filled with excitement and anxiety.
"I'm not sure, but I think everything will be clear when you meet him."
Jiang Yao gently held her hand, "Are you going to see him? I can accompany you."
Lan Qiuru took a deep breath and nodded seriously after a while, "Okay, I want to see him."
The mother and daughter made their decision and walked out of the cafe.
But before heading to Xiao's, Lan Qiuru paused as she passed the international exhibition hall nearby. "Wait a minute, I want to go in and buy something first."
Although Jiang Yao didn't understand why, he still accompanied his mother in and watched her wandering around the watch area, carefully selecting items.
"Your father loved pocket watches the most back then. You can give this as a gift when you meet him."
She was clearly over 40, but at this moment her face was filled with the shyness of a young girl.
It was like she was going to meet the man of her dreams.
So tender and sweet, so lovely.
Jiang Yao looked at this and felt inexplicably moved.
Just as they were choosing, she suddenly heard an argument not far away.
"Ma'am, you just broke my antique pocket watch, which has been passed down since the Republican era. The hands on it were broken. You must compensate me today!"
Jiang Yao walked over curiously and saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses pointing at a pocket watch on the display case with an angry look on his face.
The person standing opposite him was none other than He Yunlan.
"I didn't break it at all!" She clutched her handbag tightly, her face looking unhappy.
I was already in a bad mood today, and then I encountered something like this.
"Ma'am, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. It's impossible for you to evade responsibility. There's something wrong with this watch now. We can go to the repair center for testing."
At this time, another person also showed the business card of the Watch Association, "This kind of expensive antique watch needs to be repaired for at least one million."
"What?" He Yunlan's face suddenly changed.
Even if she has money, she is not a sucker.
Who would be willing to pay this money?
Just when she was at a loss as to what to do, Jiang Yao walked in through the crowd and asked, "Can I see this pocket watch?"
He Yunlan turned around in surprise. She didn't expect to see her in such an occasion. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face for a moment.
She wanted to speak up and ask her to stop meddling in other people's business.
Jiang Yao took the pocket watch from the bespectacled man, rubbed it for a moment, and suddenly chuckled, "From what I've observed, the case of this watch should be made of titanium. How could such a modern material appear in an antique watch?"
"What do you, an outsider, know!" A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the man with glasses, and he wanted to snatch the pocket watch.
Jiang Yao dodged his move, placed the pocket watch to his ear and listened for a few seconds, the sarcasm on his face growing even more pronounced. "Even the movement's sound isn't right. This pocket watch is clearly a modern workmanship. If you want to scam me, can you at least be more professional?"
Another accomplice was also a little angry, "Who said I was a scammer? I have a professional association certificate."
Jiang Yao sneered, "Okay, then I'll call the police now and let them judge how professional you are!"
After he finished speaking, the man with glasses and his accomplices were obviously panicked.
"You bitch, how dare you ruin our good thing." Furiously, the man with glasses rushed up and was about to punch her.
He Yunlan screamed and subconsciously wanted to shout for help.
The next second, she watched Jiang Yao easily take the punch, and then kicked him in the abdomen with his knee.
The man with glasses fell to his knees in pain, his face turning green.
Seeing this, his accomplice turned around and tried to escape, but Jiang Yao took two steps forward and kicked him from behind, knocking him to the ground, and crushed his back with his high heels.
There was quite a commotion here, and in the blink of an eye, it attracted the exhibition security.
Jiang Yao explained the general situation. "Looking at their practiced posture, it's obvious that this isn't the first time they've targeted wealthy individuals. The certificates they have are probably fake. Call the police and let them handle the case. We must not let these people get away with it."
The exhibition manager shook hands with him gratefully and said that he would definitely handle it properly. They exchanged contact information and he would inform her of the results when the time came.
