"Please, can I? I really like this wedding dress." I repeat.
"Ah Xue, this is your clothes, I can't make the decision." The little girl looked at the beautiful woman as she said this. Then, she slipped under the cashier's counter. No one could be seen.
Ah Xue. Was it her name?
"Miss Ah Xue, can I ask for your help …"
She stared at me for a long moment, then said, "Your eyes. They remind me of a friend of mine." The hoarse voice was as unpleasant to hear as a cat's paw scratching on glass. When paired with this beautiful face, it gave off a strange sense of beauty.
"My life will probably not be complete. Leaving this behind is just a delusion … Forget it, forget it. If you really like it, then take it. "
I was ecstatic. I didn't expect it to be so easy!
Just now, the little girl at the cashier's desk came out again. Her eyes were filled with shock, but she still obediently went over and took out the wedding dress from the huge wooden box, carefully placing it in a box.
"Little girl, can you chat with me for a while?" Right at this moment, Ah Xue suddenly spoke up. When she looked at me, her eyes swept over me.
I nodded, and the cashier passed the gown to Bo Lengqing, who took the box and said, "I'll wait for you in the carriage."
Ah Xue brought me to the top floor, it was a studio decorated with simple and elegant decorations. As a designer, I was extremely familiar with this place.
It's just that this studio is very different from mine, and although today's technology is very advanced, I still like to draw blueprints by hand. As Helen had told me before, the machine would never be as good as the touch of a pen and fingertip in my hand.
However, in such an elegant studio, there were a few more modern facilities. It was hard to avoid feeling that they were out of place.
The Ah Xue didn't notice that I was observing her. She walked to a sofa and sat down, brewing a pot of tea for me.
With my sharp eyes, I noticed that she seemed to like using her left hand out of habit.
Is it left-handed?
"You look like an old friend of mine, especially his eyes." Her tone revealed a deep sadness.
My eyes? Grandfather and Grandmother are always my eyes like my mother, could Ah Xue be my mother's friend?
But that's not right, Ah Xue looks so much younger than Mother. If Mother had such a beautiful friend, I should have a great impression of her.
"That friend of Miss Ah Xue …" I asked tentatively.
"He won't want to see me again," she said, her voice thick with despair.
"What kind of misunderstanding did you have?"
Ah Xue shook his head: "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
"Miss Ah Xue, I just heard from the young lady downstairs that you prepared that wedding dress for yourself and gave it to me just like that, then you …"
"When every woman was still a girl, they all wished to marry into their family. However, as time went by, this wish of theirs was gone."
"But you are still so young …"
Ah Xue giggled. "Little girl, I'm old enough to be your aunt."
I looked at her in disbelief. She didn't look older than me by more than two or three years.
"Alright, if you're free in the future, you can come visit me any time, just treat it as accompanying this old man. You should leave as well, otherwise, that person downstairs will get anxious from waiting." Just then, the Ah Xue stood up and I nodded.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Goodbye."
"Oh yeah, my name is Su Cha!"
Ah Xue smiled slightly. "Goodbye, Little Su Cha."
Walking out of the Ah Xue's design office, I got into Bo Lengqing's car.
"What did you talk to him about for so long?"
"Oh, it's nothing much. She's just asking me to come over and chat with her if I have something to do."
"The matter of the wedding dress has been settled. Can you marry me now?"
I giggled. "Does the Chief Bo really want to marry me?"
"I'm afraid if the two of us don't get married, you might sneak away again." He looked at me seriously.
"I won't leave. It's good to stay by your side." I looked at his arm as I spoke.
"Let's go home!"
When I got home, I opened the box containing the wedding dress and tested the size of the wedding dress. It was just right for me, as if it had been custom-made for me.
As I was folding my clothes, I suddenly saw a picture on the floor.
The man and woman in the photo snuggled up to each other. I immediately recognized that the girl in the photo was Ah Xue, and that must be when she was young, she looked forward to it with a smile that was very different from her current pair of fog-like eyes.
The man beside her had his head cut off by everyone. Somehow, I felt that the man in the photo gave me a familiar feeling.
On the back of the photo, there was a light blue ink pen with the words "Snow Tau" written on it.
I sighed and kept the photo, planning to return it to the Ah Xue sometime.
Time passed day by day. About a week before the wedding, Uncle booked our family a flight to the capital.
The old lady had arranged a place for us to stay. It was the old dwelling of Shen Family.
In the beginning, I was a little embarrassed, because Bo Family was a surname to someone else, even if they were related by marriage, it was the same. However, when Bo Lengqing and I arrived at Shen Family, I found that the situation was different from what I had expected.
"Come on, girl, do you like this place?" On the first day we went there, the old lady brought me and the children to visit the Shen Family's old house.
Every inch of land in the capital was worth every bit of gold, yet here, the Shen Family itself belonged to a house of its own.
"Does Grandma like it?"
"Silly girl, I'm asking you. Why are you asking me?" The old lady smiled and patted my hand.
"I am already quite old. When the time comes, I will have to arrange for a good place for these things …" Leng Qing, wait a hundred years from now, the entire Shen Family will be handed over to you. At that time, don't mistreat Yu'er. "
My expression immediately changed, does this mean that the old lady wants to use the wealth of Shen Family to drag me down?!
"Yu'er is my aunt!" Bo Lengqing whispered in my ear in a helpless voice that only the two of us could hear.
I understood, but my mind was full of questions.
Why did such a huge Shen Family have to be handed over to Bo Lengqing alone?
But very quickly, I understood the reason.
The old lady led us into a small courtyard next to the old house. The scenery there was more or less lonely than the outside, and this place was located in the most remote corner of the old house.
Walk into the courtyard. There, the first floor of the house.
We went on inside, and then I smelled a faint smell of smoke.
The old lady entered the house ahead of us, and we followed.
The house was filled with long candles, each with a picture on the back.
"My Shen Family has never done anything against nature, but now only Yu'er and I are left. If not for Leng Qing's support of such a large family business, I'm afraid that nothing would have fallen …"
I was startled. No wonder when I walked into the house, other than my aunt, I did not see anyone else with Shen Family. So it turns out that everyone was here …
"Leng Qing, today, I will treat it as everyone begging you to have Yu'er. Grandma has never begged anyone in her life, so I'm begging you only once."
"Grandma, even if you don't say it, I will definitely not treat my aunt shabbily. I will treat her as my own mother and respect her as well." Bo Lengqing said seriously.
"Your mother …" The old lady then sighed, "In the end, I still feel sorry for her."
As she said that, she took out an USB, "These are things that A Yu and I organized. After I die, they will all be transferred to your name. Leng Qing, Grandma does not seek your revenge. She only wants you to live a peaceful and happy life and not get involved in any other battles! "
I didn't understand a word of what they had said, but I could faintly guess that the reason the Shen Family had turned into what it was today was definitely not because of a natural disaster.
"Little girl, I will entrust Bo Lengqing to you from now on. The two of you must support each other, do you understand?"
As the old lady spoke, she placed my hand together with Bo Lengqing's.
"Grandma, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will definitely go down well with Leng Qing."
