Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Platinum Ring (3)
“Why are you suddenly thinking about it now?” Lin Shuyue asked with difficulty, “What… what use could it possibly have?”
“Mom, you heard it too, Su Zixi isn’t dad’s daughter,” Su Lianxi curved her lips slightly.
“Yes…” Lin Shuyue’s gaze fell on the urn, “Could there be some secret inside this?”
“There’s no secret inside here, only Aunt Zhou’s left behind belongings,” Su Lianxi said as she opened the box and rummaged through it, finding a small, unassuming Platinum Ring, “This is it. I was young back then and, despite discovering the ring, I didn’t pay it much attention because it was dusty and didn’t look remarkable. Only now do I realize, this ring might hold significant mysteries!”
“This…” Lin Shuyue’s gaze settled on the ring, “It looks like an ordinary Platinum Ring!”
“Exactly,” Su Lianxi laughed, “But what if I told you that the President’s wife has a ring identical to this one?”
Su Lianxi said, lifting the ring to take a closer look at it.
“My goodness…” Lin Shuyue instinctively clutched at her collar, breathing heavily in an effort to stay calm, “But, but this doesn’t prove anything, after all, the design is very common!”
Under the light, the ring sparkled much more, revealing several smooth lines along its edge.
“Yes, the issue is that this ring is very ordinary!” Su Lianxi stressed the word “ordinary,” “Think about it, what is the status of the President’s wife, why would she wear such an inconspicuous Platinum Ring? Even a decade ago, this ring was extremely, extremely cheap! Even if the President’s wife wanted to display frugality, she wouldn’t wear a ring worth only a few thousand yuan, that would not match her status at all!”
Lin Shuyue was completely stunned, her mouth hanging open, unable to utter a sound.
“Unless, this ring holds a special significance for the President’s wife!” Su Lianxi’s eyes gleamed with fervor, “Now, an identical ring has appeared in Aunt Zhou’s urn. Do you think this is just a coincidence?”
Lin Shuyue shook her head with difficulty.
If Su Zixi was dad’s daughter, I too would consider it a coincidence. But now, Su Zixi’s biological parents are unknown,” Su Lianxi sneered, “You probably know what kind of person Aunt Zhou was; it’s quite unlikely that she would cuckold dad, so it’s very possible that Su Zixi is not her child at all!”
Lin Shuyue, considering a possibility, abruptly stood up and pointed at the Platinum Ring, “Are you implying that the President’s wife is… is…”
She was too astonished to complete her sentence.
At this moment, Su Lianxi calmed down, offering a faint smile, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” Lin Shuyue looked at her, full of panic, “Then what’s the point of all this you’re saying?”
“Although I don’t know the exact relationship between Su Zixi and the President’s wife, Aunt Zhou and the President’s wife definitely have some sort of connection!” Su Lianxi said with conviction, “Think about it, why is it that all of Aunt Zhou’s other possessions are gone, and only this Platinum Ring was left behind, tucked inside the urn? I think this must have been her dying wish, maybe she even requested dad to give the urn to Su Zixi after her cremation!”
