Chief Forced Marriage: Beloved Wife Captured

Chapter 206

"You say."

"When I married your father, we exchanged tokens of love. What I gave him was the ring, and what he gave me was a bronze pocket watch. But when I left Ye's house, I felt resentful, so I didn't Take it away, so many years have passed, and I don’t know if that watch is still there..."

"You want me to help you find it?"

"Yes, that's the only thing he gave me, I want to keep it as a souvenir..."

Ye Beicheng frowned: "Mom, you don't even dare to look at the ring, why do you still want that pocket watch?"

"The ring was given to him by me. When I look at the things I gave him, I can only think of how I love him, but what he gave me is different. When I think of him occasionally these years, I find that there is nothing around me that can Missing things will inevitably be lost in my heart.”

Ye Beicheng sighed in embarrassment: "Dad has passed away, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him again."

"You try your best. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. Anyway, whether you miss it or not, it is doomed that we will have nothing to do with each other."

Jingya comforted her mother-in-law for a while, but seeing that it was getting late, the two got up and prepared to go home.

Shangguan sent his son and daughter-in-law outside the hotel. Jingya held her mother-in-law's hand to comfort her: "Mom, don't worry, Beicheng and I will help you find it. I'm a woman, and I can understand your feelings."

After getting into the car, Ye Beicheng asked casually, "Do you think that pocket watch can be found?"

She shook her head: "I can't say that, you are from the Ye family, you should know whether the things can be found."

After arriving home, Jingya lay on the sofa exhaustedly, and said casually, "Husband, why don't we go look for it in the father-in-law's study? Maybe he keeps it all the time."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's so late, let's go to bed."

She yawned: "Alright."

She got up and went into the bathroom, put a tub of hot water, and lay down limply. The exhaustion all over her body disappeared in an instant, and she closed her eyes in enjoyment.

This soak lasted half an hour. When she went out, she found no one in the bedroom. She muttered in confusion, "Where did he go?"

Picking up the mobile phone to dial his number, but the ringtone came from the pocket of the suit on the bed, and she was relieved. She didn't wear the coat and didn't bring the mobile phone. It seemed that she was still at home. Maybe, she should go downstairs.

She took the hairdryer and bit her hair. When the bite was mostly dry, the door opened and Ye Beicheng walked in.

"Beicheng, where have you been?"

"I was just bored, so I went to my dad's study for a while."

"Have you found it?" She stepped forward nervously.

"No." He shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.

Jingya was also very disappointed. She sighed: "It's been 30 or [-] years. It's normal to lose a small pocket watch. Besides, the father-in-law doesn't love the mother-in-law, so naturally he won't keep what he gave her."

"Well, go to sleep, I'll take you to a place tomorrow night, maybe you can find it there."

She opened her eyes curiously: "Where is it?"

"We also have a storage room in our house."

"Huh? Why don't I know? Where is it?"

"Sleep first, I will take you there tomorrow night."

At noon the next day, during her lunch break, Jingya called her mother-in-law.

"Mom, we haven't found anything yet, but we will continue to help you find it."

Mrs. Shangguan said happily: "Thank you, just do your best. By the way, I plan to go back to BJ tomorrow."

"Ah? Didn't you say the day after tomorrow? Why is it earlier?"

"There is something wrong with BJ, I have to go back and deal with it as soon as possible."

"But we haven't found anything for you yet."

"It's okay, just forget it if you can't find it."

Jingya squeezed her eyebrows guiltily: "Does Beicheng know that you are leaving tomorrow?"

"He doesn't know yet, I'll call him later."

"Then I'll go to the hotel with Beicheng to find you at night."

Mrs. Shangguan smiled and said, "I can't entertain you tonight."

"why?"

"My friend came back from France and I made an appointment with her."

"OK then……"

After hanging up the phone, Jingya lay down on the table decadently. She didn't know whether her mother-in-law would be sad if she returned to BJ early. After all, she just reunited with her mother, but she couldn't keep her too much. After all, her mother-in-law can't go back to Ye's house now. Only when the fake mother-in-law stays in Ye's house can the fox in the dark show its tail.

At night, after everyone in the Ye family fell asleep, Ye Beicheng took Jingya to the storage room.

It turned out that the storage room was next to the eldest sister. When I opened the door, it was dark and desolate. A cockroach jumped past Jingya's feet, which made her almost scream in fright. Fortunately, Ye Beicheng covered her mouth.

"Husband, is there no light?"

"There is a light, but the window on this side faces the outside. If the light is on, it is easy for people to find that someone has come to the storage room."

"Then how can we find the ones that are not dark in winter?"

"There is this."

He took out a flashlight out of nowhere, and as soon as he turned it on, it quickly lit up a small area.

"Where do we get all these things?"

Ye Beicheng pointed to the corner of the wall, where there was a square plastic box, he gave Jingya the flashlight, bent down and carried the box to the table, then lifted the lid, and the box was full of messy things.

"Will there be one here?" Jingya frowned.

"looking around."

So, the two buried their heads and turned over.

"Hey, the things inside seem to be quite valuable, don't they?"

Jingya took out a scroll painting and spread it out for a look. Although she was not an expert, judging from the brushstrokes, it was definitely from a famous artist.

"It's a pity to throw such a good painting here, can I take it away?"

"casual."

Ye Beicheng continued to search with full concentration, Jingya picked up a small Maitreya again, and exclaimed again: "Wow, this can't be pure gold, can it?"

He didn't have time to pay attention to her, Jingya studied it carefully and gritted her teeth, like a philistine miser.

"Is this gold?"

She arched Ye Beicheng with her arms, and he raised his eyes for a casual glance: "Yes."

"No way, you just throw such a big golden Buddha here?"

She wiped off her sweat in shock, this Ye family is really hidden, it is incredible that a large piece of gold can be found in a small storage room.

"The things here are all leftovers from the old house."

"The old house? The one that was destroyed by fire?"

"kindness."

"Oh, I see. After the fire is extinguished, all the unburned things are put here?"

"Correct."

"Why? Many things here are very valuable."

"Because grandpa was afraid of being emotional, he let all the servants pile up here, and ordered that without his permission, no one is allowed to come here."

Jingya opened her eyes wide: "What kind of rules are these? Forbidden places first, and forbidden objects later. She really didn't realize that a person who is so suddenly enlightened is still so old-fashioned."

"No wonder you won't let you turn on the light." She murmured angrily, "Your family is truly extraordinary."

"found it."

Ye Beicheng's joyful voice came from the darkness, and Jingya looked at him in surprise: "Where is it, where is it?"

He dug out a pocket watch with a diameter of about 3cm from the bottom of the box. The long chain was like a waist chain. Even after 30 to [-] years, it was still brand new. When the flashlight shone on it, it shone with incandescent light.

"Is this one?" she asked excitedly.

"Should be right."

"Great!" Jingya clenched her fists, even if her mother-in-law left tomorrow, she would not leave disappointed.

The two put their things away, and quietly left the storage room. After returning to the bedroom, Jingya looked at the watch over and over a dozen times. The appearance was very delicate, and it must have been a high-end gift in that era, but the hour hand had already stopped. If you can hear the sound of Didi's rotation, no one would think that this is a precious item left over many years ago.

"Beicheng, do you know that Mom will return to BJ tomorrow?"

He nodded: "I know."

"Aren't you sad?"

"The sadness is only temporary. I will bring her back when the Ye family calms down."

The next morning, the two of them got up early and rushed to the hotel where Mrs. Shangguan was staying without having breakfast.

"Mother-in-law, I have good news for you."

As soon as they met, Jingya couldn't wait to tell her what the pocket watch was found.

"Did you find the pocket watch?" Mrs. Shangguan asked expectantly.

"En!" She nodded heavily.

Suddenly, Shangguan Ziyu burst into tears, she lowered her head and sobbed softly: "Thank you."

"Mom, is this it?"

Ye Beicheng stepped forward, let go of his tightly clenched fists, and with a chirp, the chain of the pocket watch dropped, and a golden pocket watch began to shake under their gaze.

"Yes."

She wiped the corners of her eyes, took it in relief, held it in her palm and looked at it carefully, as if seeing a long-lost relative, with a satisfied expression on her face.

Jingya couldn't understand, since she hated the Ye family and her father-in-law, why she couldn't put it down so much for the things he gave her? Could this be the legendary love-hate dilemma?

Mrs. Shangguan stared at the pocket watch for a long time, and finally looked away reluctantly. She entered the bedroom, took out the purple box, and handed it to Jingya: "Now, I can give it to you."

Jingya was about to open it, but she reached out her hand to stop it: "Don't do it in front of me."

So, the hand that originally wanted to lift the lid of the box retracted abruptly, and she put the ring box into the backpack.

"Let's have breakfast first, then go to the airport, there are still two hours, we can have a good chat."

Ye Beicheng proposed.

The three left the guest room with their luggage, and Jingya went to check out for her mother-in-law. When they arrived at the restaurant, the breakfast tables were already full.

"Mom, did your friend see you yesterday?"

She sat down, circled a piece of sushi, and asked casually.

"Well, I saw you."

"What does she do? Judging from her dress and temperament, she should also be from a wealthy family."

Shangguan smiled and said, "Yes, she is very rich, and she is in the real estate business."

"Is there more money than the Ye family?"

"Maybe a bit short."

"Doing real estate business? What's your name?" Ye Beicheng was in the shopping mall, so he was naturally curious about this kind of question.

"Qi Hongyu."

"Qi Hongyu?" He frowned, "I've never heard of this name."

"She only came back two years ago, and she has been in BJ before, otherwise I wouldn't know her."

"Hehe." Jingya covered her mouth and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Mrs. Shangguan was confused by her laughter.

"I laughed and thought she was Beicheng's mother at that time."

The three of them were talking and laughing, and when they were about to eat, Ye Beicheng picked up the car and rushed to the airport.

Arriving at the airport, at exactly nine o'clock, Shangguan Ziyu turned his gaze to Ye Beicheng, caressing his face, and said earnestly, "Son, if you miss your mother, go to BJ."

"Okay." Ye Beicheng nodded.

"I've dealt with some of BJ's business this time, and I'll come back to live with you."

"it is good."

"Be nice to Jingya. Mom actually envies you two because you can live together because you love each other."
