Chapter 240: Grandmother’s Safe_1

Even if she really made a mistake, if the child was switched, or there was some deviation many years ago, she truly could not speak of it.

It has been hidden for so many years, she would not easily expose it.

"Aunt Wen..."

Lu Qingyi looked at the gentle woman before her eyes. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

"Don’t ask me anymore, I won’t tell. If you still want to eat hot pot, I’ll ask Old Gu to make it now. If you don’t want to eat, leave. I won’t tell."

Aunt Wen shook her head, her words were very firm, without a hint of divulging anything.

Lu Qingyi did not speak, she took Xu Boyan’s hand and walked out.

Master Gu came out from the kitchen, he lightly patted Aunt Wen’s shoulder, "Why don’t you tell?"

Master Gu’s voice was very soft. He had heard all their conversation but didn’t participate because he felt it wasn’t appropriate for him to get involved.

He too was very shocked by Gu Yansi’s identity.

"Old Gu, where do you think the problem arose?"

Aunt Wen looked up at Master Gu, tears were welling up in her eyes.

Gu Yansi was clearly... snatched by her own hands, but where did everything go wrong?

"Go meet Qingyi’s brother. I’ve heard her brother is with Hardrick."

Master Gu’s hand was on Aunt Wen’s shoulder, he massaged her gently as he slowly spoke.

Gu Yansi looked much like Lu Qingyi’s brother, and they could verify it themselves.

"Alright."

Aunt Wen gently nodded her head.

"Old Gu, let’s meet Qingyi’s parents, the two named Lu Yao and Yao Meishu."

Aunt Wen gently closed her eyes as she slowly spoke.

Where did the mistake occur?

Lu Yao, Yao Meishu.

Lu Qingyi came out from the Happy Hot Pot and found herself feeling heavy. She couldn’t get herself excited.

Who... who is she really?

"Xu Boyan, I want to visit grandmother."

Lu Qingyi looked up at Xu Boyan as she slowly said.

Her grandmother perhaps knew everything, but because she couldn’t see her one last time, maybe grandmother didn’t get the chance to tell her everything.

"Alright, when do you want to go? I can accompany you anytime."

Xu Boyan tightly held Lu Qingyi’s hand, the girl’s hand was quite cold.

Lu Qingyi: "Tomorrow."

Yao Meishu might know something. They could try to prompt some answers from her.

----

The next day, at Jin City Airport.

Lu Qingyi and Xu Boyan came out from the airport.

"Let’s visit grandmother first."

Lu Qingyi tightly held onto Xu Boyan’s hand, her voice was very soft.

Xu Boyan: "Alright."

She had preserved her grandmother’s old house very well. Though it was old, it held all her joyful memories from childhood.

Pushing the door open, lots of dust fell from the eaves. The furniture inside was still as it used to be. Everything was just as it was when her grandmother left.

The things remained unchanged, but the people were no longer the same.

"Don’t overthink."

All of Lu Qingyun’s sadness related to her grandmother, and Xu Boyan knew this. He gently held Lu Qingyi in his arms.

"Grandmother had a safe."

Lu Qingyi escaped from Xu Boyan’s embrace, walked gently towards the wooden stairs. The stairs made a squeaking sound, creating an unpleasant noise.

Xu Boyan followed Lu Qingyi up the stairs.

"Unlike other old people, grandmother loved the second floor. She liked to sit here in the sun, waiting for me to come back from school."

Her grandmother’s house was a two-story clay house with a small balcony on the second floor, capable of accommodating two small stools.

She rarely talked about her grandmother, but sometimes she would sigh in praise of her grandmother’s goodness.

Xu Boyan looked at the balcony. Standing beside Lu Qingyi, he didn’t say a word.

"Granny was skilled in knitting many small animals, but I was clumsy, always unable to learn. Granny said I was a lot like my mother."

Lu Qingyi slightly raised the corners of her mouth, closing her eyes gently before slowly speaking.

At that time, she was still anticipating Yao Meishu’s love, and she felt particularly happy about her grandmother’s words.

Lu Qingyi, after saying these words, was taken aback.

Clumsy, like her mother?

Lu Qingyi’s pupils suddenly dilated as she looked at Xu Boyan, "Yao Meishu, she can knit sweaters."

She had seen Yao Meishu knitting sweaters, her skilled movements, and her knitting methods were also very fast.

Yao Meishu had knitted for Lu Jiayue, for Lu Jiahao, for Lu Yao, for herself, and for her grandmother, but never for her.

She seemed to have always overlooked these details.

If she had thought of these things earlier, would she have found out where she came from?

Grandmother, she truly knew.

"No matter who you are, no matter who your parents are, you, Lu Qingyi, will always be Mrs. Xu."

Xu Boyan gently stroked the girl’s head, his voice was particularly tender.

"This is grandmother’s safe."

Lu Qingyi walked into the room and brought out a dust-covered old black box. She put the box on the ground and began wiping the dust off with a cloth.

The safe wasn’t big, it was a small, square box.

Xu Boyan squatted beside Lu Qingyi, he spoke softly: "Do you have the key?"

"No."

Lu Qingyi shook her head gently.

She had not seen the key to the safe, nor had she seen her grandmother open this box.

All she had seen was that every evening, her grandmother would carry the safe to the balcony, then wipe it carefully with a cloth until it was clean and spotless.

When she asked why, grandmother would just smile and say nothing.

"I can pick the lock."

Xu Boyan reached out his hand to Lu Qingyi.

"Here it is."

Lu Qingyi handed the cleaned safe to Xu Boyan.

She could have opened it herself.

"Click."

Using a piece of wire, Xu Boyan managed to open the safe in a short time.

Looking at the contents of the safe, Lu Qingyi noticed that it seemed to be empty, except for a few yellowed pieces of paper, and a pair of rings and earrings.

Lu Qingyi reached out to take the paper on top, she slowly opened the paper, the writing on it was a bit blurred, but still recognizable.

Xu Boyan fell silent for a while, then stood up and walked downstairs.

Maybe Lu Qingyi needed some space to be alone right now. Even though he was curious about the contents of the safe, he didn’t want to invade her privacy.

The sentences written on the paper were from her grandmother’s strong and steady handwriting, each word and each sentence seemed to be speaking to her.

[Yiyi, when you see this, grandmother might really be gone, and you mustn’t feel too sad. All humans will experience birth, aging, sickness, and death...

...

Don’t be willful, get along well with your parents.]
