Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 8271 Waiting for the baby to be born (1)

Qiao Muyuan was more nervous than Ji Changmu, not because he was afraid of failing all ten chances, but... because he was afraid that he would be disappointed, sad, and painful.

She still remembers when she first met Ji Changmu, even though she was still very young at that time, she always felt that this little brother didn't look very happy.

She rarely sees a smile on his face.

Now, the things in this safe are all about his father, in case he recalls those not so good memories.

Qiao Muyuan clasped his hand tightly.

Suddenly, she and Ji Changmu heard a "ding" at the same time, Ji Changmu pushed the button to the right, and the cabinet door opened.

Qiao Muyuan's heart also "thumped".

She looked at Ji Changmu, and Ji Changmu also looked at her.

The cabinets are brand new and well maintained.

"It's open." He smiled calmly.

"Then... do you want to take a look? Or should I open the cabinet for you?"

"Afraid I won't be able to bear it?"

"No, I'm just asking."

Ji Changmu rubbed her little head, half bent down, and opened the cabinet door.

The cabinet is large, with drawers and hidden compartments.

In the eyes of outsiders, such an important safe that cost a lot of money to insure must contain a huge amount of wealth, so Tong Zhenghai has worked hard over the years.

Ji Changmu opened the top drawer.

The drawer was opened, and to Qiao Muyuan's surprise, not only did it not match the gold, silver and jewelry, but it seemed to be a little messy.

There are a lot of things, all of which are small items, but they are packed full, filling an entire drawer.

Ji Changmu smiled, the corners of his lips raised.

He took out a thick book with a dark brown cover.

"Brother Ji, what is this? The ledger?"

"No."

"You didn't even open it, how do you know it's not?"

"My dad doesn't like to use this kind of book for accounting." He unscrewed the button on the book and turned to the title page.

Familiar fonts come into view, and the strong and powerful pen calligraphy is deep and durable.

This is his father's word.

Back then, his calligraphy was taught by his father.

Qiao Muyuan also saw it, and she covered her eyes on purpose: "Brother Ji, can I watch?"

Ji Changmu smiled and removed her hand that blocked her eyes: "Is there anything you can't see? Qiao Muyuan, you're pretending."

"Aren't you afraid it's some secret about your father?"

"My father's life was open and aboveboard, and he was an upright man, and there would be no secrets that could not be seen."

Only his father's name and the date of inscription are on the title page.

Ji Changmu continued to scroll down. It turned out to be a diary, a diary from the year before his father's unexpected death. The first page was the first day of New Year's Day that year——

"Today is New Year's Day. Changmu and his mother went to City D for vacation. I also happened to relax and give myself a day off."

In the plain text is the tranquility of daily life, like a lake without waves, so quiet and beautiful.

Qiao Muyuan also saw the first page.

It turned out to be Ji Changmu's father's diary.

Her heart trembled, and there was infinite peace hidden in the words. He must never have imagined that after only one year, he would be separated from his family forever and never see each other again.

Ji Changmu closed his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't accept such seemingly calm words.

At the time, it was only common.

Those ordinary, peaceful, even day-to-day peace, are the most difficult to obtain stability.

His father always thought that his career had long been stable and his family was harmonious and happy, but a year later, Tong Zhenghai destroyed all of this.
