The largest state-owned bank in China is Huaxia Bank.
Just a small headquarters in a prefecture-level city in the province, Hua Xia Bank has built a magnificent building with more than 30 floors and spent hundreds of millions of funds, which fully shows how rich Hua Xia Bank is.
The business of Hua Xia Bank is similar to that of other banks, but in order to have the same competitiveness as some large Western banks, Hua Xia Bank launched a unique special business in China, safe deposit box service, more than ten years ago.
As the name suggests, any important valuables owned by an individual can be stored in a bank safe and accessed with a special key.
The cost of safes also varies according to different specifications, but Chu Nan actually didn't think much about it.
After all, with his mother's financial strength, she couldn't even afford to rent an expensive safe.
When he came to the bank safe business counter on the second floor, Chu Nan discovered that this business seemed to be quite popular. The hall was crowded with people, and it seemed that the demand was good.
After waiting for more than half an hour, it was finally Chu Nan's turn.
"Hello sir, do you need anything?"
The bank clerk glanced at Chu Nan and asked.
Chu Nan handed over the strange star-shaped key in his hand and said, "I'll take the contents of the safe."
The salesman took the key, carefully appraised it, nodded and said, "You take the key and enter the back door, and a waiter will take you to the safe. Then you can use the key to open the cabinet and take out the things.
Remember, if it is valuable, please keep it safe as we will not be responsible for it after leaving the bank gate."
Chu Nan nodded and took the key, turned around and motioned to Milan to wait for him, then walked into the back door, followed the waiter inside, and found the cabinet where his mother's keepsakes were stored in front of the densely packed safes.
He put the star-shaped key into the safe lock, then twisted the handle, and soon opened the safe door easily.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Nan took out a dark brown delicate wooden box from the safe. Soon he saw that the wooden box was carved with exquisite totem marks, which looked like a wild bear.
Chu Nan had never seen such an ancient mark before, so naturally he didn't know what the totem mark represented. After getting the small wooden box, Chu Nan closed the safe and walked out of it.
After returning the keys to the waiter, Chu Nan returned to the lobby, waved to Milan, left the bank, and got into his Range Rover SUV.
"Is this what you came to get?"
Milan got into the driver's seat, glanced at the small wooden box, and couldn't help but asked curiously, "What's in this?"
"I don't know very well. This is a relic left by my mother to me."
Chu Nan glanced at the small wooden box he was holding and said with nostalgia.
When he heard that it was a relic of Chu Nan's mother, Milan stopped talking immediately, but patted Chu Nan's hand worriedly and said, "Since it is something left by your aunt, you must cherish it.
Don’t you want to open it and take a look?”
Chu Nan nodded, unlocked the two buckles on the side of the small wooden box, and slowly opened the box.
The two small wooden boxes as big as the palm of a hand can't hold much in them, and it's immediately obvious after opening them.
The first thing that catches the eye is a light yellow dragon-shaped jade pendant that is completely crystal clear. It looks very finely made and is definitely of a priceless kind.
Besides this dragon-shaped jade pendant, there is also a letter.
Chu Nan opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside. Lines of beautiful fonts immediately came into view.
What surprised Chu Nan was that he had never seen his hard-working mother write anything, not to mention that the words on the white paper were so beautiful.
"Chun Nan, when you read this letter, maybe my soul has returned to heaven and is no longer in this world.
Please forgive me, don't hate me, because I have hidden too many secrets from you.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't want you to get involved too early.
It’s even better that I don’t tell you for the rest of my life.”
"The young lady told me before we parted, that if you can be an ordinary citizen when you grow up, marry a wife and have children and live a normal life, then I will bury all my secrets and never tell you.
But if you are born with a talent, have outstanding abilities and become a master, and can control yourself well, then I can tell you your life experience."
"If I give you this key, it will be equivalent to my recognition of you, and Zhou Hailan will die without any regrets in his life.
Chu Nan, you are an excellent child. I can't give you a better life, please don't hate me..." Seeing this, Chu Nan gradually frowned.
One thing he was certain of was that his mother, Zhou Hailan, could not be just an ordinary rural woman.
What secrets does she hide from herself?
Why have I never mentioned it after living for so many years?
All kinds of doubts made Chu Nan take a deep breath and continue to read carefully.
"Chun Nan, you are destined to be no ordinary child, and I am very lucky to accompany you when you grow up.
If you can read this letter in the future, maybe you will have grown to a level beyond my reach.
But no matter what, listen to my words, no matter what happens, you must control your inner emotions and think more about those who love you."
"The first thing I want to tell you is your life experience.
In fact...it's not what I said. You are not my posthumous child, nor are you the child I gave birth to out of wedlock in my ten-month pregnancy.
In fact, your mother is someone else, I am just your mother's maid, and the lady is your real biological mother!"
"boom!!"
When Chu Nan saw this paragraph in the letter, he was completely confused and his mind went blank for an instant! He had never thought that Zhou Hailan was not his mother, but just his adoptive mother?
?
That means that he and Zhou Hailan have no blood relationship?
For Chu Nan, this simply overturned his understanding of the entire life! “Chun Nan?
What’s wrong with you?"
Milan, who was driving, saw Chu Nan holding the letter with trembling hands and an extremely ugly face, so he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Chu Nan woke up from the shock, shook his head with red eyes.
He didn't want his life experience to be known to everyone. It was his own secret, and of course he couldn't tell it out easily.
The letter left by Zhou Hailan contained so much information that it was impossible for Chu Nan not to get emotional.
He took a deep breath and continued to look down anxiously.
"Please forgive me for not telling you until this moment. It's really because... the young lady's identity is too special and too sensitive.
Chu Nan, if you find out the identity of your biological mother in the future, you must not rush to identify her. This will put you in endless danger.
Regarding the identity of the young lady, I have sworn an oath so I cannot tell you, but this dragon-shaped jade pendant is the young lady’s token. As long as the young lady sees this jade pendant, she will know that you are her son.”
"This jade pendant is a token of your reunion with your biological mother and a symbol of your identity. You must not lose it.
Also... your biological father is indeed Chu Yunsheng, but he doesn't know the identity of your mother, or even that there is a son like you.
So don’t blame him for abandoning you ruthlessly... The young lady used a trick to make him mistakenly think that he had a relationship with me, so if you tell him that you are my son born out of wedlock, you will naturally recognize him."
"Chun Nan, your mother's identity is very important, maybe you will slowly understand everything in the future.
Don't hate her, she gave you life.
You have to move forward on your own, I can't help you anymore... After seeing the lady, please tell her that Zhou Hailan took the first step and fulfilled his original promise, and will not reveal any identity until his death! I
My son…goodbye.”
When he saw the last two words of this letter, "Goodbye", Chu Nan's heart twitched, and he could no longer hold back the tears that slowly flowed down...
