C699 It Was a Long Time ago
1He knew Wen Wen would ask, but the staff member choked.
"It's very strange. It's not something valuable."
"Impossible. How could my grandfather put something worthless in the bank's safe? If it was really not valuable, he could have asked someone to give it to Qiao Yumeng. Why did he have to go through so much trouble? "Did you not manage the matter well?" Xu Wanwan's expression immediately became ugly.
"Really. I really recorded the video. Furthermore, Qiao Yumeng has yet to leave our bank. If you don't believe me, you can come to the bank personally to confirm it with her."
Xu Wanwan was silent about this.
The staff took her money. Once it was exposed, he would face the punishment of the law, so there was no need for him to lie to her. But she really could not understand why old master Lu would treat worthless things as treasures and put them in the bank's safe.
"What exactly is in the safe?"
"It's a letter and a silver hairpin. I don't know what the content of the letter is, but looking at the envelope, it is very old. It has been a few years. I think it is an old thing from the last century."
Just a letter and a silver hairpin? What and what is this? This is something Xu Wanwan never thought of.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wanwan did not wait for the staff to send her a video. She immediately made a call and went straight to the bank. When she arrived, Qiao Yumeng had already left with Xu Zhiyuan.
Although Qiao Yumeng urgently wanted to know what had happened in this letter and this hairpin, she also knew that the bank was not a place to talk. Therefore, after explaining everything to Xu Zhiyuan, the two of them immediately left the bank with their men. They planned to find a place to talk and talk about this matter.
When Xu Wanwan arrived, she only had time to see Qiao Yumeng's convoy stop near the square. Qiao Yumeng brought her bodyguards and hurriedly ran into a drug store by the road.
Although she did not know why Qiao Yumeng went to the medicinal shop, she definitely went to the medicinal shop to buy medicine. Knowing that Qiao Yumeng might be unwell and sick, Xu Wanwan was extremely happy.
What she did not know was that Qiao Yumeng did not buy medicine for herself, but Xu Zhiyuan felt dizzy after staying in the car for a while. It should be heatstroke.
"Uncle Xu, there are only two types of medicine in the pharmacy. Take some to take a rest first. We will go to the hospital to take a look." Qiao Yumeng anxiously passed the medicine she just bought to Xu Zhiyuan.
Xu Zhiyuan nodded. He took the medicine and took it. Only then did he comfort Qiao Yumeng. "I am probably suffering from heatstroke. The car is a little stuffy, so I feel uncomfortable. Now that I get out of the car and get blown by the wind, I feel much more comfortable. There is no need to go to the hospital. Don't worry."
"Is it really okay? Let's go to the hospital to take a look. " Your face is pale without a trace of blood. I'm not at ease. "
Qiao Yumeng's worry was real. Xu Zhiyuan could tell at a glance.
"I really did not lie to you. You will be fine after resting for a while. Didn't you want to know the story behind this letter and this hairpin? " I'll tell you. "
Although Qiao Yumeng wanted to know the story behind this letter, she did not have to know it immediately.
"We can talk about it slowly in the future. There is no hurry now."
"You are really kind. You really look like our Wan Wan when you were young. No wonder the old master always thinks of you as her."
Qiao Yumeng was stunned when Xu Wanwan was mentioned. To be honest, she had been considering whether to give this hairpin to Xu Wanwan on the way. After all, old master Lu had mistakenly thought that Xu Wanwan was the one who gave it to her.
"Actually, I know some inside information about this letter. I also understand why the old master left it to you."
Qiao Yumeng did not interrupt Xu Zhiyuan. She just looked at him quietly and waited for him to say more.
"You must have read this letter. He said it was a letter, but it was more like the old master's confession. He never sent this letter out, so he did not even put a stamp on it."
In other words, this letter was really written by old master Lu to a woman he loved.
Qiao Yumeng remembered that the Lu family had lived in Nancheng for generations, and the Lu family had always been wealthy. So when old master Lu was young, he could be considered a good young master in Nancheng. There should be many women who wanted to marry him.
But looking at this letter, it seemed like he could not ask for it.
"The old man was engaged to be married as soon as he was born. It's just that he went abroad to study, and his horizons were different from those of that era. He never took the rule of betrothal to heart. He even fell in love with a woman at first sight the moment he returned to the country. He even fought back for that woman and her family, and wanted to break off the engagement."
In Xu Zhiyuan's narration, Qiao Yumeng knew that old master Lu was also a person of temperament when he was young. At that time, he already had a betrothed wife, Old Madam Lu. Unfortunately, at that time, he wanted to break free from the shackles of the secular world and strongly opposed this marriage. It was at this moment that he had met a woman whom he would never be able to let go of in this lifetime. He had thought that once he broke off the engagement, he would be able to marry her.
"But who knew that woman would have married long ago?" When Xu Zhiyuan said this, there was a faint smile on his face. In the smile, Qiao Yumeng seemed to have seen the expression of old master Lu and Xu Zhiyuan when they talked about this matter. It had been decades. old master Lu should have let go a long time ago, right?
"What happened after that?" That was why this letter became a letter that had not been sent out, right?
"Later... the old man didn't tell me the details, but later he found out that... In fact, the old lady was also a very good woman. The old lady wasn't able to control the marriage. After that, things changed and they got married."
"Marriage in that era could not be decided by oneself. What's more, old master Lu fell in love with a married woman, so there would never be an outcome.
"Then why did you leave this letter to me? Could it be that I have something to do with this letter?" Qiao Yumeng could not help but think of Granny who had passed away for many years and Grandma whom she had never met.
"Since the old man left the letter to you, it is probably possible. Although time has changed, old master Lu still cannot bear to destroy this letter. It means that he has never actually put it down."
Love? Or heartlessness?
Qiao Yumeng could not say it. If old master Lu was affectionate, then he was too heartless to Old Madam Lu. But if he was heartlessness, he could still retain the throbbing he had when he was young...
No one could explain the relationship clearly. Just like Qiao Yumeng herself, her love for Fu Qianchen at first sight had lasted for more than ten years.
