Chapter 272 I Will Never Forget You
She had too many questions in her mind that she couldn't answer, and she was just waiting for Li Jinxing to answer them...
But ever since Li Jinxing entrusted a cultural relic to Director Chen, and later asked her to check it out, she knew that there were actually some secrets that Li Jinxing himself might be kept in the dark about!
Facing her string of questions, Li Jinxing didn't answer. He just clenched the pendant in his hand and murmured, "To possess the Ankh is to possess the key to life, the prayer that opens the door to eternity..."
Nie Yao was stunned for a moment. After hearing his mumbling, she nudged him and asked doubtfully, "Li Jinxing, what are you mumbling about?"
"Nothing..." Li Jinxing shook his head, a self-deprecating smile on his lips: "Many years ago, when my parents died in an accident, I also found a necklace like this in their pockets!"
"What did you say?" Nie Yao stared at him with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "Are you saying that your parents also have a necklace with a key to life?"
Li Jinxing responded softly, then said in a deep voice, "When they had the accident, I was still young. I only knew that they had been in a car accident, the car was smashed beyond recognition, and their deaths were horrible. When I rushed to the scene, I could only watch them being put into body bags. I will never forget that tragic sight..."
When Nie Yao heard him whisper about the past, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. She quickly held his fist, trying to soothe his sad heart.
"Later, I couldn't believe they were dead, so I secretly bribed a few people to go into the morgue to see them. I also found a similar necklace from my parents' pockets..."
When Li Jinxing said this, he sighed softly and subconsciously clenched the pendant in his hand.
"The rope may have looked different, but I remember the pendant clearly. It was this symbol! I didn't understand its meaning at the time, but after researching it and even traveling to Egypt to visit their museums and temples, I realized it actually represents the key to life!"
When Nie Yao heard him say this, she finally understood why he reacted so strongly when he saw the necklace!
Because this same type of necklace brought back the most painful memories of losing his parents in his childhood!
"Li Jinxing, I'm sorry..." Nie Yao sighed softly, put one hand on his back to soothe his grief, and covered the back of his hand with the other hand, her voice full of apology.
"I didn't know you'd experienced this, and I shouldn't have kept asking you..."
He had never mentioned anything about his family to her, including his parents, and she didn't dare to ask too much. But now, hearing him talk about it for the first time, it was enough to terrify her!
At such a young age, she witnessed the tragic death of her parents. She couldn't even imagine such a horrible situation!
Nie Yao recalled that every time she went on archaeological excavations with her adoptive father, if he encountered danger and was injured, she would cry out of fear, not to mention that Li Jinxing was facing the tragic death of his parents!
Even though he had become the Li Jiuye who stood at the pinnacle of the business empire, making everything happen with a wave of his hand, attracting many wealthy families, the pain left by his childhood experiences could not be erased...
Nie Yao knew that no matter how much words of comfort she used, it would be futile at this moment. She could only hug him tightly, trying to ease the pain brought about by his memories of the past!
