Qiao Ran came to Wycombe Ya Kindergarten and picked up Qiao Ze'an on time.
After returning to Blue Ocean Apartment, Aunt Wang was already at home and had prepared afternoon snacks for An An.
Qiao Ze'an held the mango au lait and ate it happily.
"Mommy, why did you get off work so early today?" He looked around and saw no sign of Zuo Chenye, his bright eyes showing disappointment.
"Oh, he didn't come back for dinner today because he had something to do. But he will definitely come back." Qiao Ran saw Qiao Ze'an's thoughts and explained softly.
"Okay." Qiao Ze'an smiled, revealing his cute dimples.
Qiao Ran sat on the sofa, holding the silver pendant in his hand, and fell into deep thought again.
Her mind was constantly searching for all kinds of information, current and past.
Why did Dean Li give this pendant to Zuo Chenye?
It can't be a gift, it's an old thing after all.
Whose related things would Dean Li give to Zuo Chenye?
Zuo Chenye finally gave it to her, so is this book her own?
Her stuff? The stuff she left at the orphanage?
She felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.
She stared intently at Qiao Ze'an's profile. On Qiao Ze'an's neck, he wore a Hetian mutton-fat jade lock. She had put it on him when he was a child to ensure his safety and health, but she had never taken it off.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. Yes, she seemed to have had a protective pendant when she was little.
It is a silver pendant.
She finally remembered!
That's right! She looked at the silver pendant in her hand, and the old memories became clearer and clearer.
It was this silver pendant with such an outline. Although she had no specific impression of the pattern, she had always worn it around her neck when she was a child. Later, it was accidentally lost and she did not look for it.
She finally figured out the logic.
It turned out that Dean Li found the pendant that belonged to her when she was a child. Dean Li thought that she had fallen into the sea and died, so he gave the pendant to Zuo Chenye as a souvenir.
And Zuo Chenye already knew her identity.
That's why I put the pendant on her and returned it to its original owner.
However, I didn't expect that Dean Li would die. After meeting Zuo Chenye at a charity party, he fell into the reservoir and drowned.
There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world.
I always feel like something is wrong.
Could Dean Li's sudden drowning be related to this pendant? If so, what kind of connection would it be?
Qiao Ran fell into deep thinking and couldn't figure out what to think.
She smoothed over the recent events one by one.
There was still a doubt in her mind. Since Zuo Chenye knew she was Qiao Ran, he had never exposed her. But why, after getting this silver pendant, he couldn't help but put it on her?
He can wait until her identity is exposed in the future before handing it back to her.
Put it on her now, what’s the purpose?
It's unreasonable. He is sure that she doesn't recognize his childhood pendant? Isn't he afraid that he can recall it?
He had to put it on her now and made sure that she couldn't take it off. What was the reason behind why he had to do this?
She was puzzled.
She closed her eyes and continued to think about it, her mind replaying all the recent events like a revolving lantern.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes bright.
Last time, Zuo Chenye suddenly asked her to help him pick up something from the Beijing Opera House. On that day, everyone was very strange.
Yanhan was wearing weird clothes, a black hooded sweatshirt, a black hat, all in black, and handed her the USB flash drive.
After she picked up the things, Zuo Chenye suddenly called her again and said that she didn't need her help to deliver them.
It is simply inexplicable that she should make this trip in vain!
