Chapter 62 - Mysterious Jade Pendant
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
From his actions, Song Jiaren saw that he knew of the existence of this jade pendant. She looked at him expectantly.
“I only know that this jade is very important. My mother gave it to me when I was young. I’ve always hidden it behind this painting. I don’t know the rest.” Song Chuyan shook his head.
A look of disappointment flashed across Song Jiaren’s eyes. She pinched the jade pendant in her hand and suddenly thought of a person who might know. Yan Cheng must know the origins of this jade pendant. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have personally snatched this jade pendant back then.
Song Jiaren couldn’t hold it in any longer. She wanted to know Song Meiyu’s whereabouts immediately. She turned to leave, but was grabbed by Song Chuyan. “Where is my sister?” He asked stubbornly, like a child who had lost a treasure.
Song Jiaren closed her eyes and walked back into the room impatiently. She took out the box that Song Song Jiaren cared about the most when she was alive and handed it to him. She said, “She’s already dead. I haven’t cracked the password for this thing. Take a look yourself. Perhaps there’s an answer you want to know.”
With that, she broke free from his hand and left. She had no time to talk nonsense with him.
Song Chuyan, who was left behind, took out the photo from the box and a locked laptop with trembling hands. The scene in the photo seemed to still be in his memory. At that time, he really liked his sister, but why didn’t he believe her after that?
When he saw the password lock on the laptop, he entered his birthday without any hesitation. With a click, the laptop opened.
The first page made his eyes turn red. There was a tiny baby drawn on it. Beside the baby was written “My Brother.”
He flipped to the second page. This was Song Jiaren’s diary. He could even imagine the little Song Jiaren holding a pen as she laid on the desk and wrote the diary stroke by stroke.
“Today is the first day of my brother’s birth. He keeps crying, but I still like him a lot. Mother said that from now on, I’m going to be a big sister. I have to protect my brother.”
“Today is the second day after my brother was born. He finally stopped crying. He’s so cute. Mom named him Song Chuyan. His name is as nice as mine, hehe ~”
“I think Dad doesn’t like me and likes my brother more, but it’s okay. I like my brother very much too!”
…
“My brother fell into the water today. I went to find someone to save him, but I couldn’t find him. I had to get into the water myself and pull him up. But I was too weak. My brother was still injured. I was really useless. When I woke up, my body was in pain and I was very afraid. I was worried that my brother was in pain too, but he seemed to be unwilling to talk to me.”
“My brother said that I’m very ugly. I felt very sad. I’ll ignore my brother in the future too—Forget it, I’m the older sister, so I should tolerate my brother.”
“There’s a big black spot on my face. Everyone thinks I’m ugly. I know I’m fat, but what should I do?”
“Brother really seems to hate me. He doesn’t like me.”
“Song Yoyo hit me today. I don’t like her, but my brother likes her a lot. Is it because I did something wrong and made her unhappy? Should I apologize?”
“Song Yoyo is really bad. She hit me again today. It hurts, but no one believed me. She snatched my father, my brother, and want to snatch my mother.”
Song Chuyan didn’t even have the courage to finish reading the diary. He was already sobbing uncontrollably. He clutched his chest and fell to the ground. He remembered that when he was young, she had run over and told him that Song Yoyo had beaten her, but what had he said at that time?
He thought that Song Jiaren was just trying to sow discord between him and Song Youyou and reprimanded her. Since then, she had never said anything bad about Song Youyou to him again.
He, wanting to slap his ignorant self in that time and space, slapped his face.
He had always lived under his sister’s protection since he was young. But what had he done for her? He only suspected and hurt her. His sister… He would never have a chance to make it up to her again.
In his daze, he seemed to see Song Jiaren’s bright smile. Her eyes were filled with the gentleness and goodness of the past as she smiled and waved at him. A smile also appeared on Song Chuyan’s face. He reached out to touch her, but what he touched was air. He squatted on the ground in a daze with a blank expression.
