Xia Zhitong took a bath, put on clean pajamas, and sat in front of the dressing table.
Gently opening the delicate wooden box, a simple necklace lies quietly on the black velvet. The necklace is extremely simple, with an aqua blue ear diamond as the pendant on the thin platinum chain.
The design is simple but clever, it can be used as a necklace or the earrings can be removed.
But...why is the relic left behind by the mother only an ear diamond, but what about the other one?
"Crack-" the door sounded.
Xia Zhitong turned around and saw her father standing at the door. She smiled gently, happily and sweetly, hiding all her grievances and unhappiness.
"dad."
Father Xia Youtian walked to Xia Zhitong's side, and his kind face immediately showed a sincere smile after fatigue, and stroked Xia Zhitong's increasingly beautiful face, "Xiaotong, I have been wronged by letting you live alone abroad in the past few years..."
"Dad, no." Xia Zhitong shook his head, "I am doing well abroad. I was the one who proposed studying abroad in the first place, so as not to embarrass...'Mom'..."
Xia Youtian closed his eyes in heartache, and the wrinkles on his forehead were faintly visible, "It's all dad's fault. If I hadn't mistakenly believed the rumors and thought your mother and you two sisters had an accident, I wouldn't have married Meijing at a time of grief and despair.
As a wife, I didn’t expect that you were not dead...it was me...who let you down, mother and daughter!"
"Dad..." Xia Zhitong always thought of those days in the countryside. Although they were bitter, they were simple and beautiful. If she had not returned to the city, maybe her mother would not have died of depression.
"It's time to repay you... Our Xiaotong will be 20 years old next month. At Daddy's birthday party in a few days, Daddy will personally hand over something to you. At the same time... it's also time to fulfill that
Engagement is arranged."
"Engagement?" Xia Zhitong looked at his father in surprise.
Engagement? To whom? Why did she never know...?

Late at night, in a European-style villa on the outskirts of city S.
In the dark study room, only a weak wall lamp was lit, and the cold silver moonlight fell on the man standing proudly by the window.
The man put on a black suit and wrapped his perfect body tightly! His dark eyes were narrowed and his thick eyebrows were furrowed. Although the anger in his brows was temporarily suppressed, his cold words were more intimidating than the strong wind outside the window.
, scary!
"Master, I just sent someone back to the manor to search, but I didn't find your earring..."
The man's eyebrows furrowed deeper, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he suddenly turned around. Two sharp cold lights burst out from his eyes as dark as obsidian!
"Young Master, it's my fault for not doing my job well! This diamond earring was left to the young master by my wife before she died. It is also a token of the young master's fulfillment of the engagement in the future. I will immediately send people back to look for it. Even if the manor is turned upside down, I will also turn the young master into pieces."
The ear diamond is recovered!!!" A man in black was half-kneeling on the ground, and his head didn't dare to look up at the man.
The man snorted coldly! The anger in his eyes seemed to burn with a "boom", and his eyes instantly turned red!
He turned around again, raised the wine glass in his hand, and took wild sips of the hot wine! The heartburning liquid seemed to have hollowed out his internal organs, but these were nothing compared to the humiliation he had suffered twenty years ago.
And pain!
Twenty years later, he returned to this place that he hated for just two words - revenge!
