She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

"When I arrived at my last home, a rumor suddenly spread in the village that not long after I was sold to my first family, a mysterious man came to the village and handed this box to my adoptive parents. I heard that there was a lot of money in the box."

Because this matter was spread, some people said that Lin Qingran's adoptive parents originally intended to give her to their son as a child bride.

However, because there was money in the box, their family became wealthy and sold Lin Qingran to someone else.

It was because this incident was exposed that a dispute arose among the several families who had bought Lin Qingran's products, as they all wanted a share of the money in the box.

But the money had already been spent.

Neither was willing to yield to the other, so they started fighting.

Lin Qingran also took this opportunity to secretly run away, all the way to the police station in the outer town, where she was rescued.

After the police investigation, they were unable to find Lin Qingran's family, so they temporarily sent her to an orphanage.

Later, after Lin Qingran was adopted by Jiang Yuanbai, her only request was to get the box back.

“Dad has seen the contents of this box. It’s said to be a collection of antiques. Maybe the family didn’t know their value and thought they were just junk, so they didn’t touch them.”

Lin Qingran took out two old-fashioned, rusty hairpins and handed them to Bo Ye.

“I’ve had it appraised privately, and it’s said to be an antique that could only be seen at auctions in the past when regulations were lax, but now it’s not allowed to be bought and sold. I’m afraid of causing trouble for my father, so I’ve just left these things untouched. You’re knowledgeable, can you take a look and tell me where this thing came from?”

Bo Ye picked up the hairpin and looked at it, then took out the bronze mirror and some small items from the box.

After examining it carefully, Bo Ye said.

"I can't tell which dynasty it's from, but it looks a lot like some of my grandfather's old collection."

He rummaged through his phone's photo album for a while and found two photos to show Lin Qingran.

"Look, isn't the craftsmanship and style exactly the same?"

Lin Qingran nodded. "Do you know where your grandfather bought these collectibles?"

“These were all gifts from others,” Bo Ye said.

“I vaguely remember this. At the time, a company wanted to raise funds, and their boss came to my father and gave him this thing. It was said to have been bought at an auction in N City, USA.”

Lin Qingran understood what Bo Ye meant.

"Could you contact them for me and ask if they have sold any of these items I have, and who bought them?"

Bo Ye looked at Lin Qingran, "Do you think these things are related to your background?"

At this point, Lin Qingran felt a chill run down her spine.

"I suspect that these things were sent by my biological father."

There must be a secret here, perhaps related to the death of Lin Qingran's biological father, Lin Beichen.

Susukino immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly grabbed the box and left.

Lin Qingran didn't sleep well that night, tossing and turning in her dreams.

In her dream, there was a strange man. Lin Qingran wanted to see him clearly, but every time she turned her head, he would disappear.

Lin Qingran woke up in a cold sweat and opened her eyes to find that it was already dawn.

She simply got up and sat on the edge of the bed, silently pondering the dream she had.

This unfamiliar man had appeared in real life before.

When Lin Qingran was still in the orphanage, she would occasionally see a man dressed in black and wearing a baseball cap.

Lin Qingran had never seen his face clearly, nor had she ever cared.

After she was adopted by Jiang Yuanbai, that person never appeared again.

Now that she thinks about it carefully, Lin Qingran always felt that the strange man was watching her in the dark.

It could be surveillance, or it could very well be covert protection.

But that man never appeared again, and Lin Qingran couldn't find any trace of him.

Lin Qingran's head was a little dizzy and throbbing, but her mind was incredibly clear.

Perhaps all the fantastical encounters she has experienced since childhood can be connected in some mysterious way.

This clue could help her break the current deadlock.

But now, halfway through the process, things have come to a standstill here.

Lin Qingran was somewhat annoyed and angrily punched the bed.

At this moment, her cell phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number. Lin Qingran answered it casually and heard a somewhat embarrassed man's voice on the other end.

"Hello, Ms. Jiang."

It's Lu An.

Lin Qingran glanced suspiciously at the lit-up phone screen, then leaned back.

"what's up."

"I was responsible for bringing the young master to Yuncheng. He just landed. Miss Jiang, would it be convenient for you to come and pick him up?"

"He's here to take classes in Yuncheng, not to stay at my house," Lin Qingran said, sounding somewhat impatient.

"Since it's your boss's arrangement, just do as he says. Don't contact me unless it's related to the class."

After saying that, Lin Qingran hung up the phone without any hesitation.

Lu An looked at Fu Xingze, whom he was holding hands with, and felt a little complicated.

After a while, he slowly squatted down and grasped Fu Xingze's small shoulders.

"Young Master, Teacher Jiang said she's not coming."

Fu Xingze's eyes were red, and he held his head upright.

She asked Lu An with a pitiful look, "Does Daddy not want me anymore, and Mommy doesn't care about me either?"

Lu An felt a little sorry for Fu Xiuheng, but still quickly tried to make amends.

"The president isn't abandoning you; he's just temporarily sending you to Yuncheng for classes. Whenever he has time, he will definitely come to see you."

Lu An glanced behind Fu Xingze and saw that the two servants who had come with him were standing far away before he spoke.

"And the president said that Teacher Jiang is not your mother."

"He's lying!" Fu Xingze cried out in grievance.

That's clearly Mom. She looks exactly like Mom, and she has that familiar aura. How could she not be Mom?

Seeing Fu Xingze crying so pitifully, Lu An felt even more heartbroken.

He didn't understand why Fu Xiuheng wouldn't tell Fu Xingze the truth when he had already confirmed that Jiang Jiuge was Lin Qingran.

Although Lu An had no children, he understood that sentence at this moment.

When parents have relationship problems, it is the children who are most affected.

He hugged Fu Xingze and patted him on the back.

"Young Master, don't cry. Teacher Jiang will definitely teach you well. Once the CEO is done with his work, he will definitely pick you up."

Fu Xingze sniffed, and a look of hatred appeared in his large, tear-filled eyes.

"It must have been that woman who instigated it. She looked down on me because I was a burden, so she made Dad send me away!"
