Chapter 495: A Broken Mirror Cannot Be Healed
Xi Lulu's eyes were filled with tears, and she quickly apologized to Lin Yilan. "It's all my fault. I'm so clumsy. I'm sorry..." Before she finished speaking, tears were about to fall.
Lin Yilan didn't care about this, because there was indeed a letter among the broken remains.
Lin Yilan bent down slightly, took the letter in her hand, and slightly turned her body. Obviously, Xi Lulu didn't seem to notice.
This envelope is already of old style, and it looks like it should have been popular many years ago. Lin Yilan couldn't help but frowned slightly. Looking at the appearance of the envelope, it definitely couldn't be from the Qing Dynasty. But, what was written inside?
After opening the letter, Lin Yilan carefully read the contents inside and couldn't help but frown. It turned out that this letter was written by Huo Juncheng's mother and was obviously left for him.
She held the letter tightly in her hand, feeling a little touched, but she did not show it. She walked downstairs calmly with the letter.
"Ms. Lin..."
Seeing Lin Yilan going downstairs, Xi Lulu was scared. You know, this vase must be an antique and must be very expensive. A small character like her could not afford to pay for it. This was really bad. She just wanted to come here to see the world, but she didn't expect to lose money.
Xi Lulu hurriedly followed him downstairs. The wealthy family in front of her was different from the places she had been to before. She wondered if they would really ask her to pay compensation this time. She looked for her master among the crowd.
At this time, Huo Juncheng saw Lin Yilan coming down from upstairs and walked over. He saw that the woman's face seemed a little different.
"What's wrong? You look so pale, are you feeling unwell or are you hungry?"
He couldn't help but move closer to Lin Yilan and asked gently, only to see Lin Yilan shook her head and quietly handed over the letter in her hand.
"Inside a Qing Dynasty vase."
As he spoke, Lin Yilan looked around, but Xi Lulu, who followed behind him, was not between the two of them, so she could not see Lin Yilan's action.
However, Huo Juncheng felt that something was wrong. Seeing Lin Yilan's expression, he thought that the letter must contain some important content, so he subconsciously opened the envelope to see what was inside.
The hall was bustling with people chatting there, while Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng were standing at the stairs.
His hands were trembling slightly as he held the letter, and Lin Yilan suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
Huo Juncheng has always been good at hiding his emotions and will never easily reveal them at any time.
However, this moment was very different. His brows were deeply furrowed, and his hands were tightly holding the yellowed letter paper. There seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes, which made Lin Yilan feel a little uncomfortable.
The content here must have been hidden from Huo Juncheng for more than 20 years, otherwise, he would never have been so moved when he saw the content.
She couldn't help but reach out and hold Huo Juncheng's wrist, comforting him with her eyes.
Huo Juncheng didn't say anything. After folding it again, he quietly put it in his suit pocket. When he looked at Lin Yilan, they looked at each other and understood what he was thinking for the first time.
"Juncheng, I will always be by your side, you have to trust me."
"Of course I believe you."
He smiled slightly and replied, and at this moment, Xi Lulu's face was still full of guilt. She didn't know what the two of them were talking about, so she quickly made a detour and stood in front of them to apologize.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I was too careless and I didn't expect to break a vase. I heard it's from the Qing Dynasty, so it must be very expensive."
The more Xi Lulu thought about it, the more frightened she became. She quickly apologized to Huo Juncheng, hoping to be forgiven. After all, if she really had to pay, she really couldn't come up with that much money.
There were so many people attending the birthday party, all of them were well-known. Although Xi Lulu didn't know anyone, she knew that this was a wealthy family, so she was afraid that she would really lose money.
Huo Juncheng turned his gaze to the frightened Xi Lulu in front of him, only to see tears in the girl's eyes. She must be afraid of being blamed, so he couldn't help but relax, not wanting to put pressure on her.
"It's broken, so be it. It's not a bad thing after all."
He said it lightly, not taking it to heart. After all, if the vase had not been broken, he would not have been able to see the contents of the letter, and who knows how many years it would have been hidden.
Lin Yilan knew very well what he was thinking, and she sighed in her heart, thinking that perhaps this was really a good thing for Huo Juncheng, and she couldn't help but relax a little.
"ah?"
Xi Lulu was a little surprised. If it was really an antique, she would have to pay a lot of money for it. But he said it was okay in just a few words. Could it be that she really didn't have to pay for it? This was too good to be true. It was a little hard to believe.
"The vase is broken anyway, so what else can I do?"
Lin Yilan continued what Huo Juncheng said, which made Xi Lulu look confused. Could it be so easy to get through it?
At this time, the old lady sighed. When she learned which Qing Dynasty vase it was, a trace of sadness appeared on her wrinkled face.
"Grandma, you can't bear to part with the vase? I'll buy you another one later."
Huo Juncheng spoke gently to the old lady, saying that if grandma really liked it, it would not be a problem to buy one. No matter how valuable a Qing Dynasty vase was, it would only take a few words as long as he stepped forward.
The old lady shook her head. It was obvious that she was not blaming Xi Lulu, but because of the vase. Huo Juncheng had not expected that his grandmother liked antiques so much.
"You don't understand. I'm not trying to blame anyone, nor am I feeling bad for anything. It's just that vase is your mother's favorite antique."
The old lady sighed before answering. Everyone was shocked when they heard it, especially Huo Juncheng. He didn't know that his mother liked this vase. So was there any connection between it and the letter inside?
He was making guesses in his mind, but he didn't let anyone see his emotional changes. Only Lin Yilan understood.
"Grandma, why don't you find someone to repair it? There are actually many people who can repair antiques. I can help you find someone to fix it."
Lin Yilan quickly ran over and stood beside the old lady to comfort her. Although she didn't know whether the letter had anything to do with Huo Juncheng's mother liking the vase, the important thing was that today was the old lady's birthday and she couldn't let her be sad.
"People only meet once in a lifetime, and the same goes for this thing. As the saying goes, a broken mirror is hard to mend. Let it go."
The old lady didn't say anything more. What could she do if it was already broken? Even if she blamed the girl, even if she paid double the money, it would still matter. The item was already gone.
