Chapter 79 Perfection
Early the next morning.
Ming Axin informed the Will family of what their two heirs had done.
Although the Ming family's headquarters is not abroad, its status is obviously not low.
These people also knew that the Ming family had only one legitimate eldest daughter.
Even Ming Axin, who holds great power, can only be regarded as the adopted son of Mr. Ming.
After being severely reprimanded by his father, Thorne's freedom was temporarily restricted.
The Will family immediately sent someone to pick up Noah.
This time, Noah and Thorne went to provoke the Ming family for no reason.
He even kidnapped Mingzhu, which was a wrong move.
It would have been fine if he hadn't been caught, but Noah was detained on the spot.
The problem lies entirely with them.
The Will family had to show full sincerity.
Not only did he need to redeem Noah, but more importantly, he needed to make a formal apology for this incident.
This is a necessary statement for the sake of future interests between the two parties.
The town has fresh air and picturesque scenery.
It's really a great place to relax.
Mingzhu and his group have been strolling here leisurely for three days.
Until the afternoon of the fourth day.
Mingzhu was wrapped in a large fluffy white scarf.
The whole person was held in Jiang Zhi's arms.
Half of her face was buried in the warm scarf.
Only a pair of sparkling eyes were revealed.
Looking at the small shops around with curiosity.
She was in high spirits and wanted to go into almost every store.
Ming Axin and two bodyguards followed not far away.
Watching his young lady pulling Jiang Zhi.
From one store to another.
Mingzhu touched the exotic handmade wood carvings for a while.
Sometimes he was fiddling with old items that he couldn't understand in a vintage grocery store.
No one spoiled her fun.
As long as Mingzhu has fun, it is worth more than anything else.
As for finding the pocket watch, it seemed less important.
A light snow fell in the town.
Mingzhu and her group plan to return to the B&B.
When passing through an alley.
I saw a white old lady with silver hair trying to carry a heavy box of old books up the stairs.
"careful!"
Mingzhu blurted out without thinking and walked forward quickly.
The bodyguard immediately stepped forward to help.
However, Jiang Zhi was faster.
He reached out first and took the heavy wooden box.
The old lady was startled by this sudden help.
Turning around, I saw several young and beautiful oriental faces.
The old lady's gaze first swept over the group of strangers with a slightly cold temperament.
Jiang Zhi put the book box away.
Ming Axin simply stated that they were just tourists.
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
Although these people may seem a little intimidating, they all have good hearts.
She smiled kindly and asked gently, "Are you here for a trip? It's snowing cold outside. Would you like to come in and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up?"
The old man's tone was sincere and full of gratitude.
It doesn't matter anyway, so naturally they won't refuse.
The old lady's home is a small house filled with old things but is exceptionally warm.
The flames in the fireplace were dancing gently.
The old lady made hot tea for them and chattered about her life living alone.
Maybe it’s because this old man is about the same age as Mr. Ming.
Mingzhu listened very carefully.
Jiang Zhi sat next to her, his eyes always fixed on her profile.
It had been so long since anyone had listened to her so patiently.
The old lady became happier as she spoke, and turned around to get the photo album to show them.
But when I took the photo album and walked back.
Her elbow accidentally knocked a large box off the mantelpiece.
The lid of the box fell open and the contents scattered all over the floor.
"Oh, I'm really old. My hands and feet don't obey me anymore." The old lady said as she was about to bend down to pick it up.
But the bodyguard on the side immediately stepped forward to clean up.
Small items were picked up one by one.
An old sandalwood box stands out among the pile of junk.
At least, Mingzhu noticed it at first glance.
Ming Axin stepped forward and picked up the wooden box.
The box was not locked, and after the fall, the lid was half open.
An old pocket watch lay inside.
Ming Axin's eyes became sharp.
It's the watch in the photo.
He immediately looked up and cast his gaze on Mingzhu.
Mingzhu had already stood up and walked over.
He took the wooden box from Ming Axin.
She gently opened the lid of the box and took out the pocket watch.
The touch of metal touched her fingertips, and a strange feeling came over her heart.
The old lady walked over and saw the pocket watch in Mingzhu's hand, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
"Oh, this... This is my great-great-great-grandfather's pocket watch. He was once a count. It's very old and has been stopped for a long time."
Her tone was gentle, a touch of nostalgia in her voice. "But this watch has a very romantic legend. It's said that if you are willing to give it your most important thing, it will begin to turn back to the past."
As she spoke, she shook her head and laughed, "But how is this possible?"
This watch came from somewhere and ended up in the hands of her ancestors.
I don’t know how many times I’ve made wishes, but no miracle has ever happened.
The old lady looked at Mingzhu's focused expression as she held the pocket watch.
The pair of blue eyes that always had a hint of melancholy curved slightly: "Kid, you like it very much, don't you?"
Mingzhu came back to her senses and nodded.
The old lady smiled.
She took Mingzhu's hand, placed the pocket watch gently in her palm, and closed her fingers.
"It looks much more meaningful in your hands than gathering dust here with me. I give it to you, dear, as a thank you to you and your husband."
She glanced at Jiang Zhi who was standing beside her and said, "I helped a lonely old man today."
Mingzhu held the pocket watch.
Deep down in my heart, I felt an urge to make a wish.
It seemed to whisper to her.
It’s a pity that Mingzhu lowered her head and smiled.
At least now she is complete enough.
I don't want to go back to the past.
Mingzhu put the pocket watch back into the wooden box.
Jiang Zhi watched the scene quietly.
He walked up to the old lady and said solemnly, "Thank you very much for your generosity. This gift is very precious and we will cherish it."
Ming Axin took out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit: "Madam, this is our contact information. Please be sure to accept it. If you need anything in the future, you can always call this number."
They won't tell the old lady whether the watch is really useful or not.
But this business card is a promise.
It means that from now on, as long as she has any needs in her life.
There will always be someone to help her take care of everything.
The old lady couldn't refuse.
In the end, he accepted the business card with a smile, which looked simple but was quite significant.
After leaving the cabin, the snow was still falling.
Until we almost reached the door of the B&B.
Mingzhu couldn't help but gently tug at Jiang Zhi's sleeve, raised her face, and said with a voice full of uncontrollable joy: "Jiang Zhi, did you find it just like that?"
Jiang Zhi stopped and turned sideways.
He held an umbrella in his hand, and his tall figure protected Mingzhu under the umbrella, isolating her from the wind and snow.
He raised his hand and gently touched her slightly cold cheek with his warm palm.
"Well," Jiang Zhi lowered his eyes, with a deep and gentle affirmation in his eyes, "I found it."
After saying that, his hand slid down.
He completely wrapped her hand in his palm.
