Sweet Beauty

Liang Zixuan had originally wanted to rush, but now she wasn't in a rush.

She stared at Luo Yanyun with a calm expression and asked seriously, "Grandmother, do you know Qiao Hongya?"

"I …" Luo Yanyun wanted to say something but hesitated. Liang Zixuan was not stupid, so she immediately understood.

It seemed her grandmother knew him.

Liang Zixuan picked up the necklace and looked into Luo Yanyun's eyes as she asked, "Qiao Hongya wants to see this necklace, is that related to you, grandmother?"

Luo Yanyun looked at the swaying necklace in front of her eyes. The light from the lamp reflected off its body, giving off dazzling starlight. Her eyes reddened as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I…I …"

Liang Zixuan was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly put down the necklace and hugged Luo Yanyun. "Grandmother, don't cry. If you don't want to say it, then don't. I won't force you. I'm wrong."

Luo Yanyun laid in Liang Zixuan's arms. The seventy-year-old woman was actually crying like a child in her embrace. Only after crying for a long time did Liang Zixuan leave the house.

Seeing that she had returned, Qiao Hongya stood up excitedly and walked towards her a few steps. "Did you bring it?"

Liang Zixuan's face darkened as she said dejectedly. "I've been searching for a long time and forgot where I put it. I can't find it."

"What?" Qiao Hongya stood there without moving, stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked straight at her and said, "Lost?"

Liang Zixuan sniffled sadly, as if she really lost the necklace. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry. "I don't know. I just searched everywhere but couldn't find it."

Han Yuanjun looked at Liang Zixuan and narrowed his eyes. She was able to fool Qiao Hongya, but not him!

He had repeatedly emphasized the value of the blue gemstone with her. She would definitely put it away carefully.

Besides, the security of this area was very good, so it was impossible for them to be robbed. If they were robbed, why did Luo Yanyun never mention it before?

Liang Zixuan went back home happily and when she returned, she dejectedly said she lost it?

How could Han Yuanjun believe that?

Han Yuanjun immediately thought of Luo Yanyun. She must have said something, so Liang Zixuan did not bring it for Qiao Hongya to take a look.

This further confirmed his thoughts.

It looked like he wouldn't need to find the necklace anymore.

"Grandpa Qiao." Han Yuanjun spoke up. "Since we can't find it now, we'll just leave it there. What if one day the necklace shows up on its own again?"

Although it seemed like he was joking, Qiao Hongya was able to hear the mystery behind it.

He nodded. "Alright, no need to rush. I'll check it when you find it."

They both went back to the sofa and sat down. Liang Zixuan leaned against Han Yuanjun's body on purpose and her small body stuck very close to him.

Han Yuanjun smiled, then held her hand tightly.

Qiao Hongya took a deep breath. "Zixuan, can I call you that? May I ask who is living with you?"

Liang Zixuan was so nervous that cold sweat came out of her palms. She pretended to be calm when she replied, "My mother is dead. My brother is a soldier. I haven't seen him in years and there is still a grandmother living with me."

Liang Zixuan had a grandmother, Qiao Hongya knew about it. At that time, she refused to go to America because of this grandmother.

Qiao Hongya raised his head, glanced towards the door, and asked with difficulty, "Then, what about your grandfather?"

Liang Zixuan's small hands were trembling. She was extremely nervous. Han Yuanjun had asked these questions before, and she didn't think about it too much. But now that Qiao Hongya asked, she was somehow scared.

She didn't know what Luo Yanyun was hiding from her, but she knew it was definitely related to Qiao Hongya.

Liang Zixuan forcefully suppressed her panic and whispered, "My grandfather died a long time ago. I've never seen him before, and every year during the Qingming Festival1, my grandmother would sweep my grandfather's grave. After my grandfather's death, my grandmother raised my mom alone until she left too."

At this point, Liang Zixuan's voice was choked with emotion, either because she was nervous or because she was sad, she could not finish her sentence.

"I'm sorry." Qiao Hongya blamed himself. "I... I have no other intentions. This is because you are Jun's girlfriend and I treat him as my own grandson, so ..."

"It's fine." Liang Zixuan wiped the tears off her face and lowered her head in discomfort.

Although Qiao Hongya was blaming himself, he still couldn't help himself but ask, "What...What is your grandfather's name?"

Liang Zixuan bit her lips as her hoarse voice cut through her throat as she said, "Liang Boqin."

"Liang Boqin?" Qiao Hongya suddenly raised his head and looked at her in disbelief. "Your grandfather is called Liang Boqin?"

Liang Zixuan nodded. Her body stiffened under Qiao Hongya's sharp and angry gaze.

"When Jun told me that your grandmother's name is Luo Yanyun, I wanted to say she has the same name as an old friend of mine. Now it seems that's not just the name, but even the person. She deliberately changed her surname. Luo Yanyun oh, Luo Yanyun."

He had painstakingly waited and searched for her for decades, and now, it had become a joke!

Luo Yanyun was married to Liang Boqin!

Qiao Hongya's words were full of loopholes. Liang Zixuan had already noticed from the beginning that he wasn't asking her these questions because she was Han Yuanjun's girlfriend.

The real reason was probably the same as her grandmother.

One was looking, and the other was hiding.

Liang Zixuan didn't know what was going on between her grandmother and Qiao Hongya, but she saw the light in his eyes gradually disappeared because of her words.

Qiao Hongya closed his eyes in pain, tears were still flowing from the corners of his eyes, and he could not stop them. "Liang Boqin was a good friend of mine for many years. At that time, we were under the same teacher, and we were both considered as martial brothers, but I didn't think that after the war, I needed to go abroad."

"When everything finally settled down, I came back, but I didn't expect that I would never be able to find the person I love. I've been looking for her for decades. I thought that I wouldn't be able to find her in this lifetime and after finally seeing the hope, I received the fact that my lover married my best brother."

He raised his hand and wiped the tears that were rolling down his face. Closing his eyes tightly, he laughed out loud as he cried, "Yanyun, heh. Did she never love me?"

"Grandpa Qiao." Han Yuanjun worriedly called out to him.

"I'm fine, it's just that the knot that has been accumulating in my heart for many years has suddenly been loosened, so I can't control it a little. Actually, I should be happy. Your grandmother must love your grandfather a lot, she should be happy for her whole life."
