Chapter 95: The Silver Necklace
Qi Yuan only realized it after following the young man for two steps.
"Chu Yuan, this is my house."
The man didn't think there was anything wrong. "I know."
"If my room could make me recall something, I wouldn't be suffering from amnesia until now."
Chu Yuan, "..."
The girl had suddenly become smart. Chu Yuan sighed and said helplessly, "I just want to see if there are any changes in your room. Qi Yuan, do you really have to expose me?"
This time it was Qi Yuan who was silent.
The girl coughed softly and lowered her head, trying to hide her blushing cheeks.
The girl's room was in a mess, turned upside down by someone. The sheets and quilt were thrown on the floor, and the clothes in the closet were scattered all over the floor.
"Someone came in before." Chu Yuan made a reasonable guess. "Someone probably came in to take refuge after the disaster and touched the things inside."
At a time like that, no one would care that this was someone else's house.
Standing at the door of the room, Qi Yuan recalled the layout of the room and whispered, "There was nothing valuable in this room –– there were quite a few jewelry, but..."
What was the use of gold and silver jewelry in the apocalypse?
"Don't underestimate human greed." Chu Yuan walked to the girl's dressing table and opened the drawer on the left. "I remember you used to put your favorite jewelry in this drawer. It's easy to find."
The velvet box containing jewelry in the drawer was opened, and the necklaces and bracelets inside were missing.
Qi Yuan leaned over to take a look, and said with a gloomy face, "Those people are really... Necklaces aren’t food."
Chu Yuan laughed at her angry grumble. He ruffled her hair, turned around and began to look around the room.
Qi Yuan's gaze moved from the jewelry box to the table, stopping at the silver necklace placed casually next to the photo frame. She muttered, "Fortunately, no one wants this."
The necklace was made of platinum, with a small oval pendant at the bottom. It was made of silver and could be opened.
When the small photo frame was opened, there was a photo inside.
The sisters with similar eyes huddled together in front of the camera, one with a bright smile, and the other with a cold look. The contrast was sharp, but unexpectedly harmonious.
Qi Yuan stroked the photo with her fingers. Her eyes flickered, but she did not move for a long time.
Qi Yao, Qi Yuan.
Her mother said that she and her sister were the closest twins in the world. Unlike other siblings raised in wealthy families who fought openly and secretly, the two sisters were so close that they had never even had a quarrel.
Her mother also said that her sister loved her very much. When the car accident happened, it was Qi Yao who held her in her arms and shielded her from the car.
Her life was saved by Qi Yao, so she had to live for the sake of Qi Yao as well.
……
Since the first time she exchanged her WeChat contact with Chu Yuan, Qi Yuan had not received any message from the man, not even the most casual greeting.
The girl naturally put the matter of the arranged marriage aside and lived her own life as usual every day.
"Sister, look at this handsome hunk. His muscles... wow." Lying on the bed and flipping through the latest magazine, the girl pointed at the male celebrity on the inside page and chatted with her sister who was putting on makeup. "Sister, when you take over the company, I’ll use your money to keep six different types of guys."
Without stopping her finger movements, Qi Yao looked at her through the mirror, feeling puzzled. "Why six?"
"There are seven days a week, and one a day. How perfect."
Qi Yao was even more puzzled. "What about the remaining day? Are you going to take a break?"
"Of course I have to spend the remaining day with my beloved sister!"
Qi Yuan didn’t find it corny to say that. Qi Yao wanted to poke fun at her sister, but in the end, she just curled her lips slightly and said, "I'm a little touched that you would think of me when keeping hunks."
"Are you merely a little touched?" Qi Yuan got up from the bed, holding the magazine on her head with both hands. She looked at her elder sister's face in the mirror and said with a giggle, "Sister, considering how much I love you; you should be extremely touched."
"Okay." Qi Yao indulged her sister and continued, "I'm extremely touched."
"This is more like..."
"..."
Putting down the perfume, Qi Yao turned around and looked at her sister. "There’s an important banquet tonight, and Dad asked me to accompany him."
"Eh?" Qi Yuan put down the magazine. "Why aren’t I informed?"
"It should be related to the company's matters." Speaking of business, the smile on Qi Yao's face disappeared. "Dad said that before I graduate from college and officially take over the company, I can follow him to familiarize myself with the company's matters."
"Hmm." Knowing her sister's thoughts, Qi Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed and complained quietly, "Sister, I think our dad is a little blind."
"Why?"
"He isn’t discerning."
"Why do you say that?"
"I want to be a careerwoman, but he won't let me go to the company." Qi Yuan complained, "You don't like to work according to routine, but he insists on letting you take over the company –– don’t you think he’s blind? Sister, let me tell you..."
As she was talking, there were footsteps approaching the door. Qi Yao quickly raised her hand and made a gesture to keep quiet. "Shhh—"
Qi Yuan shut up obediently.
The servant knocked three times at the door and said respectfully, "Senior Miss, Mr. Qi asked me to tell you that Young Master Chu will also attend the banquet tonight."
"Young Master Chu?" Thinking of the young master of the Chu family who was fooled by her last time, Qi Yuan covered her mouth and whispered, "Sister, that guy will go too! Can you manage? Will you be exposed?"
Qi Yao shook her head at her sister and replied loudly to the servant, "Okay, I got it."
When the footsteps faded away, Qi Yao looked at her sister and said, "It's okay. I’ll avoid him and try not to let him discover any problems."
"Why don’t I take your place..."
"Do you know all those uncles at the party?"
When talking about their family friends who had collaborations with their company, Qi Yuan showed a troubled expression and complained, "Work is work. Why must they hold a party for no reason?"
Unlike her elder sister who has been the successor since childhood, as the second daughter who was raised in a carefree manner, she didn't know much about the company affairs. She would be exposed if she wasn’t careful in such occasions.
"It's okay." Patting her sister's shoulder, Qi Yao stood up with cold eyes. "He's just a man. Compared with the troubles in the company, it's not a big deal."
"Sister~" With her hands on her chest, Qi Yuan looked up at her elder sister with admiration on her face. "You’re so cool!"
The corner of Qi Yao’s mouth twitched, and she poked her sister's head. "You!"
"That's right. He's just a man. Sister, you can definitely deal with him."
With a helpless sigh, Qi Yao said, "You read here. I'll go to the study to find Dad." Since it was a business meeting, her father probably had some instructions for her.
Qi Yuan nodded obediently. "Okay."
……
After Qi Yao left, Qi Yuan lay back on the bed to read the magazine.
Just as she was drooling over the perfect face of a young hunk, the phone next to the magazine vibrated and a WeChat message came in.
She glanced at the phone screen and when she saw the words "Chu Yuan", she thought she had seen it wrongly.
The girl sat up suddenly, grabbed her phone and opened her WeChat.
Chu Yuan: After the banquet starts in the evening, come find me in the corridor next to the fountain in the back garden.
"Huh?" Qi Yuan poked at the phone screen and muttered, "Look for you? Why should I look for you? You and I aren’t familiar with each other. Who knows what you’re thinking? Humph."
After a round of grumbles, Qi Yuan realized something.
Oh, this message wasn’t sent to her, but to her sister.
The girl hurriedly grabbed her phone and ran out of the room, heading straight for the study.
Since she had agreed to marry into the Chu family on behalf of her sister, she must not blow her cover tonight.
