Chapter 18 She Already Has the Best Love in the World
Yang Tian stood in front of the majestic gate of Peking University again.
She was still wearing the long dress she had bought not long ago after spending all her savings.
She stared blankly at the familiar door in front of her.
I was a little dazed for a moment.
Just a few hours ago, she returned to Nanyuan after preparing everything.
I was looking forward to meeting Sheng Yuan in the evening with great joy.
But not long after, Xiao Cheng came and sent him out without any explanation.
"Ms. Yang, President Sheng said you don't need to come."
Xiao Cheng's calm words still linger in my ears.
Aunt Liu, who was also present, heard this.
He even sneered at her without any hesitation.
Yang Tian clenched the backpack strap in her hand, and embarrassment suddenly came to her heart.
She still doesn't understand it now.
Since you don't plan to do anything.
Then why did Sheng Yuan suddenly take her to Nanyuan?
And why send her back so suddenly?
It all happened so fast and went away even faster, like an absurd dream.
Only the empty balance and the not-cheap long dress she was wearing were still reminding her.
Nothing is a dream.
Yang Tian hesitated whether to call and find out what Sheng Yuan meant.
But his fingertips lingered on the address book for a long time.
I still don’t have the courage to fight back.
The ten-hour flight made Mingzhu's back and waist ache.
But what she didn't know was.
The moment the plane landed on the runway at Swiss Airport.
All her future schedules will be transmitted to Sheng Yuan simultaneously.
The phone just connected to the Internet.
Lin Huaiyan’s message popped up.
Mingzhu didn't answer the phone, so he came to ask Mingzhu about her schedule for the day.
Mingzhu simply replied and declined today's appointment.
He stuffed the phone back into his pocket.
"Miss, are you tired?" the old butler asked softly, "We've arranged a car and will take us directly to the hotel to rest."
Mingzhu nodded tiredly, not even having the strength to speak.
The lawyer continued, "The safe will be opened tomorrow morning. We can have a good night's rest."
"Do you need some food first, miss?" the old butler asked with concern.
Mingzhu shook her head.
Now she just wanted to lie down and relax her aching muscles.
Mingzhu was somewhat attached to her bed, but her extreme fatigue still made her fall into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
Until the sunlight of the next morning woke her up through the curtains.
The process of retrieving the safe was not particularly troublesome.
In less than half an hour, the things were placed in front of Mingzhu.
Mingzhu carefully examined the exquisitely crafted yet somewhat old sandalwood box.
It's about the size of the palm of your hand.
There is a small and exquisite copper lock hanging on it.
Mingzhu tried to fiddle with the lock.
Locked shut, not moving at all.
Attached to the outside of the box was a document stating that the key was in the safe in the study.
Such careful arrangements.
Instead, it aroused Mingzhu's curiosity even more.
When shaken gently, only a faint sound came from the box.
"Let's go back now." Mingzhu made a decisive decision.
She left right after arriving, but she wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
She just wanted to know what her grandfather left her.
So when Sheng Yuan saw Mingzhu's itinerary, he was full of doubts.
He thought Mingzhu went abroad to relax, but why did she come back after going to a Swiss bank?
Are you going to get something?
Sheng Yuan immediately arranged for someone to investigate.
Mingzhu rushed back to the Ming family as quickly as possible.
The lawyer completed Mr. Ming's instructions and left.
The old butler took out a delicate and small key from the safe in the study.
The pattern on the key is similar to that on the wooden box.
"Miss, there really is a key."
The old housekeeper handed the key to Mingzhu.
Mingzhu took the key and opened the box directly.
A dull sound.
The lid of the box slowly opened a crack.
After opening it, a stopped pocket watch was found quietly inside.
And a piece of paper that has turned yellow.
Mingzhu unfolded the note and looked serious after reading the words on it.
"Miss?" The old housekeeper noticed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"
Mingzhu handed him the note.
The handwriting on the paper is so familiar.
The old butler recognized it at a glance as the authentic work of Mr. Ming.
But when he finished reading the contents of the note, his face was shocked.
He whispered to himself in disbelief: "How...is this possible?"
This completely overturned the materialistic ideas he had adhered to throughout his life.
Mingzhu calmed down: "It should be true."
She understands Grandpa.
Mr. Ming is never the kind of person who would make such a joke.
Mingzhu gently picked up the somewhat old pocket watch and observed it.
The intricate patterns on the watch cover emit a warm and translucent luster under the light.
On the surface, it looks no different from an ordinary antique pocket watch.
But on that slightly yellowed note.
Mr. Ming wrote clearly and distinctly.
"Zhuzhu, this pocket watch was obtained by grandpa by chance. You only need to press the button to adjust the time, and you can go back to the past."
Mingzhu slowly raised her head.
His eyes fell on the huge group photo in the center of the study.
The grandfather in the photo looks energetic.
Her black hair was combed neatly and her eyes were bright.
Mr. Ming stood tall and straight beside the eighteen-year-old girl.
His palms rested firmly on her shoulders, as if he was holding up the whole world for her.
This is completely different from the emaciated old man who was lying on his sickbed that year.
Mingzhu didn't know where this pocket watch came from.
I don’t even know how my grandfather verified the authenticity of this watch.
But at this moment she clearly felt her grandfather's love for her.
Even though grandpa has passed away.
But I'm still worried about her life alone in the future.
Leaving her a chance to start over.
But there is no free lunch in the world.
"Grandpa..." Mingzhu's voice choked, tears blurring her vision. "What price did you pay?"
Mr. Ming, who was originally in good health, suddenly fell seriously ill for no apparent reason that year.
It comes with such force that no medicine can cure it.
The hospital issued several critical illness notices.
Sheng Yuan invited the most top and authoritative medical team from abroad, but they were helpless against Mr. Ming's illness.
Mr. Ming is in irreversible decline.
After she got the news, she couldn't accept it.
While lying on the bed and crying.
Old Master Ming, who would occasionally wake up from his coma for a short time, told her incoherently.
"Zhuzhu...don't be sad...this is all karma."
She didn't understand at that time, she just tried her best to make her grandfather get better.
But in the end, the grandfather who was a man of great stature in her memory died painfully on the hospital bed suffering from illness.
The reason should be related to this pocket watch.
It turns out that she already had the best love in the world.
"Woo..."
Mingzhu curled up in the chair like a child who couldn't find her home, crying breathlessly.
I felt so heartbroken that I almost suffocated.
"Grandpa...I miss you so much..."
The old housekeeper took out a clean handkerchief with red eyes and handed it to Mingzhu.
Mingzhu tightly grasped the soft cloth, trying to draw some strength from it.
After her grandfather passed away, she felt like an outsider for a long time and attended the funeral numbly.
Sheng Yuan took care of everything, and she was just completing a ceremony.
I couldn't even shed a tear or feel a bit sad.
She never had a real sense of her grandfather's departure forever.
It was not until now that the suppressed grief surged out like a flood.
It turns out that it wasn't that I wasn't sad, but that I was too sad, so sad that I forgot how to express it.
