Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2681: Chapter 2617: I Remember Now

Jiang Shiheng’s eyes lit up.

”Is this... the necklace Lu Shuangshuang has been wearing all along?”

”Yes, take a look, see if it’s fake. But from what I’ve heard from Lu Shuangshuang’s people, it should be fake.”

Jiang Shiheng took it and examined it carefully.

After a while, he nodded, ”It is indeed fake!”

”That’s good. Now even the fake necklace is gone, Dad, you were just talking about calling off the engagement with the Lu Family. Lu Shuangshuang definitely won’t be able to pretend to be unaware. This needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Bring it up tomorrow, so they won’t have time to prepare another fake pendant.”

”I’ll bring it up tomorrow.”

Jiang Shiheng clenched the necklace tightly.

Good, he didn’t know why, but he really wanted to clear things up with Lu Shuangshuang.

”Back then, Xiao Jing did hand the engagement cancellation letter to Lu Shuangshuang. That necklace, Lu Shuangshuang gave it to Xiao Jing in a fit of anger too. So the real ruby token must still have been with Xiao Jing back then. Just not sure what happened to Xiao Jing afterwards, didn’t manage to find out.”

”Little, you did excellently, actually asked out all these things from back then.”

”There’s one more thing, Dad, I think you should know. Dad, you really had a beloved back then, didn’t you?”

”What are you saying?”

Chiang Xiao explained in full detail what Fei Cui had said about the short-lived second young lady in the Lu Family to Jiang Shiheng.

As Jiang Shiheng listened to her account, he felt a bit dazed.

”Sixth Brother...”

He seemed to hear a gentle voice again.

Jiang Shiheng became dazed once more.

”So, Dad, is it possible the house by the sea was bought for that person? I’ve also got the iron box here for you to see if you remember anything?”

Chiang Xiao said while getting her backpack, and took out the iron box, handing it over.

”Dad, you check the contents first, I’ll go draw a portrait.” Today, Chiang Xiao asked Fei Cui about what the second young lady looked like back then.

Since it was said she resembled Fei Cui a bit, modifying with her features should do.

So now she has a rough sketch.

Jiang Shiheng slowly reached out and accepted the box.

It truly was a very beautiful candy box.

With the box in his hand, it was as if a trickling stream that had been blocked in Jiang Shiheng’s mind suddenly cleared.

”Sixth Brother, this box of candy must be very expensive, right? It looks quite pricey.”

”Don’t worry about the price, I bought it especially for you, just eat it.”

”I can’t bear to, how about I eat one a day!”

In the scene, a pair of slightly rough yet slender fingers opened a box of candy, poured them onto the table, then placed them back one by one.

Counting as they went.

”One, two, three, four... twenty-six, Sixth Brother, isn’t it a coincidence, also six? I can eat one a day for almost a month.”

”When you finish, I’ll buy you more.”

”No need, no need, Sixth Brother, don’t buy me candy.”

”Why be afraid? The Jiang Family can’t afford such candy?”

”No, Sixth Brother, I think possibly eating too much would become tiresome, I want to remember the taste of this candy for a lifetime, not tire of it.”

”Haha, silly girl, does such reasoning exist?”

”Of course.”

”Things are valuable because they’re rare, right? Okay then, when you finish this box of candy, I’ll fill the box with something else, how about that?”
