Xia Zhitong took a shower, changed into her clean pajamas, and sat in front of the dressing table.
He gently opened the exquisite wooden box. On the black velvet cloth lay a simple necklace. The design of the necklace was extremely simple. On the thin platinum chain, there was an aqua blue earring as a pendant. The design was simple but ingenious. It could be used as a necklace or removed from the earring.
But…why was there only one earring left behind by her mother? What about the other one?
" Crack…" The door opened.
Xia Zhitong turned around and saw her father standing at the door. She smiled gently, her smile was blissful and sweet, hiding all her grievances and unhappiness.
"Dad."
His father, Xia Youtian, walked over to Xia Zhitong's side. A sincere smile appeared on his kind face after he was tired. He caressed Xia Zhitong's increasingly beautiful face," Xiao Tong, I've let you suffer all these years overseas…"
"Dad, no." Xia Zhitong shook her head." I'm doing very well overseas. I was the one who suggested studying abroad. That way, I wouldn't…make things difficult for Mom.”
Xia Youtian closed his eyes in pain, the wrinkles on his forehead appearing faintly." It's all Dad's fault. If I hadn't mistakenly believed the rumors back then and thought that your mother and the two of you had met with an accident. I wouldn't have married Meijing when I was in despair, but I didn't expect that you guys weren't dead…It was me…who let you three down!”
" Dad…" Xia Zhitong thought of the days she spent in the countryside. Although it was hard, it was simple and beautiful. If she had not returned to the city, perhaps her mother would not have died of depression.
"It's time to pay you back…Our Xiao Tong will be 20 years old next month. In a few days, at daddy's birthday party, daddy will personally give you something. At the same time…it's time to fulfill the engagement.”
"An engagement?" Xia Zhitong looked at her father in surprise.
An engagement? Who was she engaged to? Why did she never know…
Late at night, in a European-style villa on the outskirts of S City.
In the dark study room, there was only a weak wall lamp. The cold moonlight shone on the man standing proudly by the window.
The man's black suit wrapped his perfect body tightly! His dark eyes narrowed and his thick eyebrows furrowed. Although the anger between his brows was temporarily suppressed, his cold words were more terrifying than the wind outside the window!
" Young Master, I've already sent people to the manor to look for it, but they didn't find your ear drill…"
The man's frown deepened, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly. He suddenly turned around, and two sharp, cold lights shot out from his dark, obsidian eyes!
"Young Master, I didn't do my job well! This earring was left behind by Madam before she died, and it is also a token for Young Master to fulfill his engagement in the future. I will immediately send someone back to look for it. Even if we have to turn the manor upside down, we will find Young Master's earring!”A subordinate dressed in black was half-kneeling on the ground. He did not dare to look up at the man.
The man snorted coldly. The anger in his eyes seemed to burn with a bang, and his eyes instantly turned red!
He turned around again, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank the hot wine wildly! The heart-burning liquid seemed to have hollowed out his internal organs, but it was nothing compared to the humiliation and pain he had suffered twenty years ago!
Twenty years later, he had returned to this place that he hated so much, just for one word…revenge!
