"No, my sister drew it."
Jiang Wan made a puzzled sound, and Shi Nian's heartbeat unconsciously quickened.
She quickly asked, "Miss Jiang, where have you seen this pattern?"
"I once bought a gold locket with almost the same pattern from a second-hand jewelry store on the street. It was later bought by a couple. I remember they said it was a birthday gift for their little daughter when she was three years old. They had hired a master craftsman to make it by hand."
Jiang Wan sighed and said regretfully, "The pattern on that gold lock is unique and exquisite. I wanted to contact the master and have one made for my mother, but when I went to his house, I was told that the master had passed away. I have never found a similar style since then, so I remember it so clearly."
She paused, "You said that the picture was drawn by your sister... Nian Nian, I would like to ask, is your grandfather still alive? Are they old craftsmen who make handmade jewelry?"
There was a buzzing sound in Shi Nian's ears, and Jiang Wan's voice came into his ears intermittently, as if through a layer of water film.
Jiang Wan didn't get a response, "Nian Nian?"
Shi Nian clenched her phone tightly, and was so excited that she was incoherent. "Ms. Jiang, there is no craftsman in my family. I... I was adopted. My sister saw me wearing that gold lock when I was very young. I'm looking for my relatives recently, so she drew the pattern on the lock according to her memory... Miss Jiang, where did you buy the lock? Was it the small shop that recycles old jewelry on the street outside Huixin Community? When did you buy the lock... Can you contact the buyer?"
Jiang Wan was surprised. "I did buy it at the small shop outside the community you mentioned. Don't get excited. This happened a long time ago. I bought this lock nearly ten years ago when I went there with my father. Don't worry. I'll go home right now and contact you as soon as I find the purchase record."
"Okay, I'll wait for your call!"
Shi Nian hung up the phone, her heart beating fast, and she felt excited and nervous.
She sat in a chair, holding her cell phone, lost in thought.
About ten years ago... it had been almost ten years since she was adopted by Liu Chunyan...
Her biological parents bought the gold lock. Does that prove... that she was not abandoned by them? They have never given up looking for her after all these years?
Shi Nian's nose felt sore and her vision was blurred by tears.
Liu Chunyan did not lie to her, she had sold the gold locket long ago. It was the owner of the jewelry store who lied to her!
Back then he must have melted a fake gold lock to deceive Liu Chunyan, and then secretly sold the real gold lock to others!
Shi Nian felt angry and aggrieved, but also happy that she had finally found clues about her biological parents.
She was in mixed emotions, tears filled her eyes and fell on the back of her hands.
…
Zhao Xinyue left the box and ran quickly to the hotel entrance without going to the bathroom.
She had something she wanted to say to Shi Nian and Feng Sihan without having to worry about it, so she asked Han Ye to pass on a message to her as soon as they arrived at the hotel.
When she found the door, the two men had just entered.
"Han Ye!"
Zhao Xinyue waved at him excitedly, took two steps at a time, jumped on him, put her arms around his neck and kissed him hard.
Feng Sihan was surprised and cast an envious look at Han Ye, "You two are making pretty fast progress."
He searched everywhere for Shi Nian's figure, but there was no sign of her.
Zhao Xinyue jumped off Han Ye and waved her hands twice in front of him to attract his attention. "Mr. Feng, don't look for her anymore. Nian Nian is in the box and didn't come out with me."
She raised her head and said seriously, "I have something to tell you."
"You want me to find a chance to confess to her that I'm not a paramilitary police officer?"
Zhao Xinyue was stunned for a moment when he said what he wanted to say, and murmured, "How do you know what I want to say..."
Han Ye coughed lightly, gently pulled her arm, brought her to his side, and lowered his voice, "Did you call Miss Shi yesterday? Brother Han heard it, and he was planning to confess. Anyway, don't worry about it."
Zhao Xinyue met Feng Sihan's determined gaze and curled her lips, "Okay then."
Feng Sihan couldn't wait to see Shi Nian, so he asked Zhao Xinyue which box she was in. Without waiting for the two of them, he quickly walked towards the box area.
He pushed open the door of the box and met Shi Nian's tearful eyes. His heart felt like it was twisted hard by someone and the pain was unbearable.
Feng Sihan frowned, walked quickly to Shi Nian's side, took out a tissue and gently wiped her tears, and asked distressedly, "Niannian, who bullied you?"
Shi Nian took the tissue from him and held his hand. Her voice was nasal and she couldn't hide her excitement, "Si Han, I'm about to find my biological parents!"
Feng Sihan listened to her story and his brows relaxed, "Niannian, this is a good thing."
Shi Nian nodded, a happy smile on her lips, but worry on her brows. "Before I found my biological parents, I was looking forward to meeting them, but when the day came, I was timid because I was afraid they wouldn't like me."
"They won't dislike you. No matter what you look like, you are their flesh and blood."
Feng Sihan paused, tenderness in his eyes, "Besides, you are lively, cute, kind and brave. When they see you, they will definitely be proud that you are their daughter."
A warm current surged into Shi Nian's heart, and his eyes began to feel hot again.
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked in confusion, "Sihan, where is Mr. Han? He didn't come with you?"
"They're behind."
"Them? Besides the four of us, are there any others coming to eat with us?"
"that is……"
“Ahem!”
Zhao Xinyue appeared at the door, followed by Han Ye.
Han Ye smiled at Shi Nian and said, "Sister-in-law, good evening."
Shi Nian's eyes flashed with embarrassment. When her best friend came closer, she pulled her to sit next to her, "Xinyue, didn't you go to the bathroom? Why didn't you come in? Why are you eavesdropping on my conversation with Si Han outside?"
"Baby, it's unfair!"
Zhao Xinyue took the opportunity to hug her arm, "I wasn't eavesdropping. I was just afraid that he and I would suddenly come in and disturb you. Can the lively, cute, brave and kind Nian Nian not be angry with me?"
Shi Nian's cheeks were burning hot. He used a toothpick to stick a piece of watermelon into Zhao Xinyue's mouth and said in a buzzing voice, "You're almost there!"
Zhao Xinyue ate the watermelon quickly, her eyes widened, and she turned around to feed Han Ye a piece, "This watermelon is so sweet!"
Han Ye tasted it, nodded in agreement, and said to Feng Sihan, "Brother Han, try it now!"
Seeing that Feng Sihan was just looking at the food but not eating it, he picked it up with a toothpick and put it into his hand.
Zhao Xinyue pulled his hand back and said, "Stupid, Officer Feng is using you to feed him?"
Han Ye glanced at Feng Sihan, then at Shi Nian, and smiled, "That's right. Come Xinyue, I'll feed you."
Shi Nian caught a glimpse of Zhao Xinyue and the other girl being affectionate with each other, and he couldn't help feeling a little hot.
She felt Feng Sihan's sharp gaze, blushed, picked up a piece of watermelon, and put it to his lips.
