Because the Shi Family had an agreement with the bank, unless the heir personally informed them, the bank had no authority to dispose of the contents of the safe deposit box, with the term of validity being fifty years.
Yan Shixiu looked at the sealed box without speaking.
"Miss Shi, what a pity."
"She’s always by my side," Yan Shixiu said with a polite smile.
After returning to the car, Yan Shixiu handed the box to Shi Lan. However, Shi Lan didn’t reach out to take it; instead, she said, "Open it and have a look."
Yan Shixiu opened the box and saw that inside were all sorts of IOUs, guarantees, and a jumbled pile of documents.
"You must have heard that old Master Shi liked to do good deeds in the past."
"I’ve heard a bit about it."
"That’s all just a facade. The old master truly was charitable, but there was always a price. Even if he didn’t need those people to repay the money, he still required them to owe him favors. Many of these documents are old and expired, but once we find their descendants, they will still go to the ends of the earth for the Shi Family. Besides, there are some secrets of the Shi Family inside, scandalous photos and evidence, as well as information about competitors."
Yan Shixiu casually picked up a few documents to look at, and finally, he found a red booklet inside.
Unlike the other yellowing papers, this booklet was clearly still new.
Yan Shixiu took it out and opened it, only to discover it was the marriage certificate he and Shi Lan had from four years ago.
Shi Lan’s face turned a slight shade of red as she quickly snatched the marriage certificate from Mr. Yan’s hands, "We’ve already gotten a new one, what’s there to look at?"
"What kind of person locks their marriage certificate... in a safe deposit box?" Mr. Yan, in a good mood, deliberately teased Miss Shi, "What’s this behavior about? Won’t you explain?"
"What’s there to explain? Isn’t it just because I’m afraid that one day we’ll have a fight, and in a fit of anger, I’ll tear it to pieces?"
Then, Miss Shi’s lips were sealed.
Because these strange behaviors of hers were actually confirming that she had indeed been deeply in love back then, it’s just that she was not aware of it herself.
He was thankful to heaven for giving him another chance, otherwise, he might have never been able to fully understand the depth of Shi Lan’s feelings for him in this lifetime.
The couple retrieved the box, and then went back to Shuangshi to wait in peace.
Because Shi Lan knew that it wouldn’t be long before her mother would call her, and this time, it would definitely not exceed three days.
On the other side, Gu Zheng, who had been sent back home by the pure junior sister for the first time last night, was distracted all day long.
He seemed to have completely underestimated the allure of this innocent purity.
He had always thought that it was the high-class women who were poisonous, but he never expected that it was this kind of girl, with no desire or greed for love, who would be the end of his romantic pursuits.
Spending the entire day in the hospital, he was preoccupied with what the junior sister was doing and whether she had thought of him. After much consideration, he sent a WeChat message to her and then began an anxious and nervous wait, like a teenage boy experiencing his first crush.
Sun Ling didn’t reply. As soon as Gu Zheng got off work, he rushed straight to the Peak, only to be told by the receptionist that Sun Ling was on a business trip to South Korea.
Gu Zheng left the Peak dejectedly, which caused several receptionists to giggle uncontrollably.
"I heard that Sun Ling’s senior is a real playboy; he couldn’t possibly have fallen for our Sun Ling, right?"
"Our Sun Ling is Doctor Sun; she definitely wouldn’t care for a playboy. Just wait and see. What kind of man can’t Sun Ling have if she wanted? Why would she bother with a hazardous material?"
