Yuchi Jin was initially planning on talking Little Bean into staying with him, but the moment he stepped out of the study, he saw that his grandson was talking to Han Muzi. Not to mention, this grandson of his still assumed that he would do something to his granddaughter-in-law! Why is he being so unreasonable?
Hearing Yuchi Jin’s voice, Ye Moxuan lifted his head and caught Yuchi Jin’s unhappy look. He pursed his lips and remained silent. It was probably because of the things that Yuchi Jin did in the office before that left a deep impression on Ye Moxuan. Even at this point, Ye Moxuan still felt that Yuchi Jin would give Han Muzi a hard time.
“Grandfather, don’t you have other matters to attend to?” At this point, Han Muzi’s voice broke the silence.
Her words reminded Yuchi Jin of another important matter. He looked around and found Little Bean standing not far away from him. After that, he happily began walking toward Little Bean. Within a short time, Yuchi Jin was able to get to where Little Bean was. Little Bean, being a good boy, walked up to him. “Great-grandfather, please walk slowly.”
“Little Bean, I have something to ask you. Would you be willing to speak to me somewhere else?”
Little Bean blinked and unconsciously gave his uncle, Han Qing, a look. Han Qing blandly nodded.
“Sure, great-grandfather. Let’s go somewhere else.” Little Bean then proceeded to hold Yuchi Jin’s hand and walked in another direction.
After they were gone, Song An threw a glance at Han Qing. “Are you going to let Little Bean go with him just like that? Aren’t you afraid that your sister will hold you accountable for that?”
Han Qing looked indifferent. “It’s Little Bean’s great-grandfather who took him away. Why would Han Muzi hold me accountable for anything?”
Song An chuckled with her arms crossed. She did not respond.
“Aunty, Qing.” After Little Bean was gone, Han Muzi brought Ye Moxuan with her and called the two of them.
They both nodded while Song An noticed the box in Han Muzi’s arms—it looked especially exquisite. Furthermore, she did not notice that box in Han Muzi’s arms before she went into the study. Is that…
“Muzi, what are you holding?” Song An asked.
Hearing that, Han Muzi looked down at the box in her arms. “Earlier on, Grandfather gave it to me in the study. It’s a… welcome gift, he said.”
“Welcome gift?” Song An raised her eyebrows, looking somewhat surprised. She then gently let out a smile. “What kind of welcome gift is it?”
Han Muzi shook her head. “I don’t know either. I haven’t opened it.”
“Why not open it now? The design of the box looks exquisite; it may be some good stuff,” Song An playfully commented.
When Han Qing and Ye Moxuan heard that, their gaze also fell on the box. They were all curious. Everyone knew how Yuchi Jin had been treating Han Muzi, so they were somewhat curious as to what kind of welcome gift he would give her.
Initially, Han Muzi was planning on opening it after she went home, but now, after hearing Song An’s suggestion, it would be rude of her to not open it. So, she nodded and slowly opened the box in front of the three of them.
The design of the box was ingenious because one would not be able to open the lid until they had unlocked certain parts of the box. Han Muzi was a designer. Even though she worked in the fashion industry, she was gifted in any sort of design. It did not take her long to figure out how to easily open the box.
Once the box was open, everyone was taken by surprise. They saw a blue diamond necklace silently lying in the box. Apart from Han Muzi, everyone else was in shock. Song An was especially surprised; her face looked astonished and her eyes widened the moment she saw the necklace.
The blue diamond emanated rays of faint blue light under the lights—it was magical. It looked like the boundless sea, as well as the vast starry sky of the universe. It was mesmerizingly beautiful. At this point, the calm look on Han Muzi’s face changed slightly, and her lips were somewhat opened. She had never seen this necklace before. But after she spent some time looking at it, she found what made this diamond necklace stand out. Also, for a diamond of this size, it must have been worth… much more than she could imagine.
This… This… All of sudden, Han Muzi’s hands began to sink as if the box became heavier.
“‘The Heart of the Universe’,” Han Qing, who had been keeping quiet, uttered these words.
Han Muzi turned around to look at him while Ye Moxuan nodded his head. “That’s right. This is the ‘The Heart of the Universe’.”
The Heart of the Universe? Why does it have such a majestic name? But Han Muzi felt strange as to why a necklace that was so beautiful had such a name. Was there any special meaning?
Song An saw the necklace, and tears began to flood her eyes. She looked somewhat emotionally stirred up.
“It seems like Aunty Song’s pretty familiar with this necklace.” Han Qing threw a look at Song An and put her on the spot, hoping that she could give them an explanation.
Just as everyone’s eyes were on Song An, she came back to her senses and resisted the tears that were already in her eyes. She let out a gentle smile. “That’s right. I know this necklace well…” She contemplated for a moment, appearing to be thinking about how she could put her thoughts into words. A few moments after, she responded, “Before my mother passed away, this necklace belonged to her. This was a gift from the old man to her, and her favorite one throughout her whole life. But… after she fell sick, she passed it to my sister, saying that she didn’t want her sickness to be attached to this beautiful diamond.”
At this point, Song An paused for a bit before continuing, “So, strictly speaking, this was my sister’s wedding gift. Just that, when we left home, my sister left this necklace here and didn’t bring it with her. This was because she knew how important this necklace is to my parents… No matter how upset she was, she had never allowed herself to bring such a meaningful item with her. So, after we left, this necklace has been sitting here at the Yuchi residence. I didn’t expect… the old man to still have it.” It was even locked in such an exquisite box.
All of a sudden, Song An’s hatred toward Yuchi Jin had decreased. At least he knew to hold on to these things. This showed that he had never forgotten everything that happened in the past.
These words caused Han Muzi to finally understand the origin of this necklace. She was stunned for a moment before giving the box to Song An. “Aunty, this gift is too precious. Since it belonged to your sister, maybe…” She dared not keep it. Had she known what was in this box was something so expensive and important, she would never have accepted it.
