Chapter 54 Golden Lock

When Du Ruo reunited with Ling Yun the next day, she was carrying her son, a small backpack and a suitcase in her hand.

Ling Yun looked at Han Zhe in surprise for a long time, with a gleam in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Little handsome boy, what's your name?"

Han Zhe said: "My name is Han Zhe."

Ling Yun reached out and picked up the child, and said to Du Ruo with a smile: "Your son looks like me, as handsome as me, I like him."

Du Ruo twitched her lips. What is the relationship between her biological son and Ling Yun?

This time they were going to Nanshi, and the train went directly there. If they took a plane, they would have to transfer, so the two of them had agreed in advance to go by train.

Ling Yun was followed by two bodyguards. The group quickly walked into the platform, ready to set off.

Before leaving, Du Ruo left 500,000 yuan in the construction company's account, 200,000 of which were prepared for Shang Yi, and he had already informed Chen Yuan about it.

Du Ruo estimated that he would be back in about ten days. If there were any other situations, he would talk about it when he came back.

But now that she is with her son, she can spend a few more days playing outside, and there is nothing to worry about anyway.

Ling Yun is not a silent person and he gets along very well with Xiaozhe. The two of them are laughing and joking like a big kid leading a smaller one. Du Ruo doesn't have to worry about Han Zhe being bored along the way.

The Ling family started out with antiques. The first few generations of the family were traitors, and later they made a fortune. However, due to the war in the mainland, the Ling family moved to Hong Kong.

Due to some other reasons, his family gradually switched to jewelry in recent years. It is one of the three largest jewelry companies in Hong Kong and is quite prestigious.

However, Du Ruo knew that the Ling family's most profitable business was the antique business, and his family was very familiar with this.

Seeing Du Ruo staring out the window in a daze, Ling Yun said casually, "Ruo Ruo, do you believe in the fate between people? I've been having dreams recently. In my dreams, I've known you for many years, and I still have many regrets. But dreams are just dreams, and Xiaozhe is the proof."

Du Ruo was surprised. What dream? No Xiaozhe? Was it a previous life?

Du Ruo asked tentatively: "We didn't meet again in the raw material market, did we? Did you dream of being a hero and saving a beautiful girl?"

This is how the two met in their previous life. The situation in Myanmar was chaotic, and Du Ruo temporarily hired a few bodyguards. Unexpectedly, none of them were reliable and ran away when they encountered a melee. It was Ling Yun who saved her.

Ling Yun's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Ruoruo, you also had a dream? Then you owe me a favor, because I saved your life."

Du Ruo was amused. She pretended to be surprised and said, "What a joke, Master Ling, you owe me money for dreaming? I dreamed that you owed me 100 million. Do you want to pay me back?"

Ling Yun scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. He said, "Anyway, I remember that I saved your life."

Han Zhe looked around and said to his mother, "Do you owe Uncle Ling money? I'll pay it back for you when I grow up."

Ling Yun happily picked up Han Zhe and said, "You're so good. Your godfather is waiting for you."

Du Ruo asked: "Who agreed to let you be my son's godfather?"

Ling Yun smiled and said, "I just asked this in my heart, and you didn't object, did you?"

Du Ruo...

Ling Yun asked Xiao Zhe: "Would you be my godson?"

Han Zhe glanced at his mother, nodded and said, "Okay."

Several people checked into the Nanshi Hotel, had dinner, and then went back to rest.

The next morning, Du Ruo first took her son for a walk, bought some food and toys, and asked one of Ling Yun's bodyguards to accompany her as she and Ling Yun went to the antique market.

Nanshi is the ancient capital of several dynasties. The origins of some of its antiques are shady and too gloomy, making it not suitable for children.

Du Ruo bought a few antiques of average quality. Ling Yun said with disdain, "Ruo Ruo, those are just ordinary stuff. Why did you buy them?"

Du Ruo smiled and said, "I'm already preparing for my antique jade city. I've already bought the land and I'm going to start stockpiling goods."

Ling Yun blurted out: "You don't want to run a jade carving art studio anymore?"

Du Ruo looked at Ling Yun deeply, and after a while he said, "What's the point of repeating life? What do you think?"

Ling Yun lowered his eyes uncomfortably. He said softly, "We still have to do what needs to be done."

Du Ruo remained silent, so she and Ling Yun could only be friends.

Ling Yun looked at Du Ruo eagerly, his eyes full of hope: "Ruoruo?"

Du Ruo shook her head gently, and the light in Ling Yun's eyes gradually dimmed.

The two of them walked forward in silence. Suddenly, Du Ruo took two quick steps and picked up an inconspicuous gold lock from a small stall. There was nothing special about the gold lock, but Du Ruo held it tightly in her palm.

She asked, "Boss, how much is this gold lock?"

The boss didn't seem to expect that she would like this gold lock. After all, this was an antique market, and the gold lock was obviously not very old, so no one was interested.

The boss said, "I'm selling this for an old lady next door. Her family was originally a family that was relocated to the countryside. You know how miserable the relocated families were in those days. Her husband and son both died of illness, and her daughter was also lost.

For so many years, she has been relying on the villagers to take care of her. Now that the old lady is sick, there is nothing valuable in the house except this gold lock. I see that you are not short of money, so if you like it, just give it to me. It will be a good deed."

Du Ruo gritted his teeth and asked, "Is the old lady's surname Bai?"

The stall owner was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

Du Ruo said, "Take me to the Bai family and I'll give you a hundred yuan."

This is a good thing. It doesn’t cost any labor or materials, and you get a hundred dollars for free.

The stall owner was very happy. He turned around and said to the person next to him, "Can you keep an eye on it for me? If I don't come back this afternoon, can you take it away from me?"

The person next to him nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Du Ruo asked in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of losing things?"

Ling Yun behind him said, "It's just a pile of broken copper and iron. What's there to worry about?"

The stall owner smiled sheepishly and said, "The boss is right. There is nothing good on my stall. It is not worth much money."

Du Ruo understood that this was a person who just wanted to eat and drink for free.

Ling Yun made a gesture to let the bodyguard drive the car over. The stall owner pointed the way, and the group turned off the main road and headed towards the countryside.

The further Du Ruo walked, the more his brows furrowed. This place was too remote. Not only was the road full of potholes, but there was even a section where the mountain wall was very steep.

Du Ruo asked the stall owner, "Do you run back and forth like this every day? It must take a lot of effort to walk back and forth, right?"

The stall owner said, "My last name is Gao. I'm a few years older than you. You can just call me Lao Gao. How can I travel so often? I rent a house with someone in Nanshi. I only come back from my hometown every few days. The gold lock was given to me by Aunt Bai when I came back last time."
