    The pendant is oval in shape.

    The sterling silver frame is set with a circle of diamonds, and in the middle is a large dark blue cut crystal. Xue Xue checked online and found that it was Xue Lin’s birthstone.

    Her mother was born in the season when the willows on the dike are drunk with spring smoke. She has been beautiful and very intelligent since she was a child.

    Although grandma and grandpa had collected all the photos of their daughter very early, there was a time when Xue Xia wanted to know what her mother looked like, so she rummaged through the boxes and found a photo album deep in the closet of the grocery room when the two elders went out together and she was left alone to take care of the family.

    Cameras were not so common in those days and could even be called a luxury item.

    Especially in rural areas.

    However, Xue Lin’s photo album began recording records from a very young age, until she graduated from high school and was about to go to university elsewhere when she was 17 or 18 years old.

    It can be seen how much the two elders love their daughter.

    Xue Xia sat alone in her grandma and grandpa’s room that day, carefully holding the photo album, turning page by page, looking at Xue Lin from Yuxue’s cute glutinous rice dumplings to a tall and graceful 28-year-old girl who wrote all the beauty of her youth on her body.

    Because she was so focused, she didn’t even hear her grandma and grandpa come in early.

    “Xia Bao?”

    Xue Xia didn’t have time to return the album to its original place before meeting Liu Lanhua, who was anxious because she couldn’t find her granddaughter.

    “Grandma!”

    Her flustered look amused Liu Lanhua, and just as she was about to speak, she noticed the photo album Xue Xia was trying to hide behind her out of the corner of her eye.

    The brown leather cover was full of traces of time. She had been tossing and turning over it in tears day and night. Even though she hadn’t seen it again for a long time, Liu Lanhua still recognized what it was at a glance.

    The smile condensed immediately and then broke into pieces.

    That was the first time Xue Xia saw such an expression on her grandma’s face. It was so complicated that even when Xue Xia grew up and struggled in an indifferent society, experiencing all the ups and downs, it was difficult for her to fully empathize and understand.

    From then on, Xue Xia no longer pestered the two elders to ask about her mother.

    She suppressed all her curiosity and yearning.

    Compared to Xue Lin, who abandoned her daughter when she was born, her grandma and grandpa who raised her wholeheartedly are the real relatives.

    Xue Xia thought so, but it was still difficult to let go.

    Just like he couldn’t let go of Wei Chinian leaving without saying goodbye.

    To a certain extent, this is probably proof of blood connection.

    Xue Lin and Xue Xia are both stubborn and stubborn. It is something engraved in their bones and has never disappeared even if it is not visible.

    The pendant Xue Xue was holding was placed by Xue Lin next to her infant daughter before leaving.

    Liu Lanhua waited until Xue Xia became more sensible, then gave the pendant to her for safekeeping.

    A large part of why Xue Xia still has feelings of admiration for her mother whom she has never met is rooted in this.

    She always felt that Xue Lin didn’t really abandon her.

    There must be some reason why she had to do this.

    At least it won’t be out of sheer selfishness and impulsiveness as the rumors among the neighbors say.

    However, as he grew older and broadened his horizons, Xue Xia also realized that his childhood ideas might be too naive.

    After all, Xue Lin left her wailing daughter to her parents at home and disappeared without a trace for decades without even sending a single message back. It was really difficult for people to find more excuses for her.

    Sometimes Xue Xia even wonders if Xue Lin is no longer in this world. Otherwise, could anyone really be so cruel and decisive?

    Perhaps, grandma and grandpa also thought of this possibility, so they didn’t mention Xue Lin at all.

    But no matter what, this is an unsolved problem for Xue Xia from birth to death.

    And now…

    Xue Xue chose the latter between tying the pendant and putting it away.

    She had a hunch that the day when the answer would be revealed was not far away.

    But before that day came, she found that after the excitement of regaining herself had passed, her mood swings were so small that they could be ignored.

    Perhaps Xue Xia also understood that reality can sometimes be more unbearable and cruel than imagined.

    Opening the drawer and taking out the storage box, Xue Xue put the pendant in and then closed it without hesitation.

    Just like Xue Xia’s feelings for Xue Lin.

    “You’ve been very out of sorts lately.”

    “I’m sorry.”

    Chen Yirong looked at Xue Xue with a headache.

    “Thanks to the customer finding out in time this time, otherwise the wrong card payment would not only cause superficial trouble, but would also make people think that we are very unprofessional and unprofessional.”

    “I know. I’m sorry, Sister Chen. I will be more careful next time.”

    Hearing this, Chen Yirong said “hmm” noncommittally.

    The atmosphere froze for a moment.

    Chen Yirong stared at Xue Xue. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to ask: “Is there something wrong with your relationship?”

    Xue Xue was stunned.

    “There was a little girl on our desk who was in the same lovelorn state as you are now, and she resigned not long after that.” She sighed.”Let me tell you, you are all still young. Falling out of love is nothing. People should learn to look forward. Maybe a better partner is yet to come.”

    After finishing speaking, Chen Yirong thought of who Xue Xue’s partner was, and quickly added: “Of course our president is very good, but he may not be suitable for you.”

    Xue Xue heard that Chen Yirong wanted to comfort himself.

    She smiled.

    “There is nothing wrong with our relationship.”

    Chen Yirong obviously didn’t believe this, but she knew that Xue Xue had his own ideas, so she didn’t say anything more.

    “Okay, as long as you have an idea.” After a pause, Chen Yirong continued: “I remember that you have accumulated a lot of leave before? The settlement is about to be settled at the personnel department. If you leave unused leave, it will be in vain. I think you can take a break to adjust your mood.”
