Chapter 62 - Origin

Most of her memories seemed to have started after they were taken into the Zhou family. The only one who had a deep memory of the orphanage was Li Yin.

Thinking of Li Yin, Liang Jia's heart shrank. After adjusting his expression and thoughts, he quickly opened the door.

"Dean Yi." Liang Jia revealed a cordial smile and passionately helped her into the room. With a clear and pleasant voice, she asked, "Long time no see. Why would Principal Yi suddenly come to visit?"

She helped Ellinth to the sofa, poured her a cup of tea, and handed it to her with both hands.

She took the cup of tea but didn't drink it. Instead, she put it in front of her and looked at Liang Jia with her cloudy eyes, feeling somewhat gratified. "You didn't stay in the orphanage for long. You still remember me."

Liang Jia smiled faintly.

"I'm here to tell you something about your background," she continued.

History? Liang Jia's heart suddenly began to beat wildly. She tried her best to maintain a calm expression and tilted her head slightly. "History?"

"Yes." She flipped through the bag and came out with a stack of photographs. Other than the ones taken at the orphanage when she was a child, there was also the photo taken on TV of Leong at her wedding.

This photo was enlarged and fixed at Liang Jia's wrist. Over there, she was wearing the bracelet Liang Jia's mother had left her. A brilliant blue light shone into Liang Jia's eyes.

Because the picture was enlarged, it was somewhat blurry, and some areas were square.

Liang Jia didn't understand what was going on. She raised her head and looked at Yi Linsi, puzzled.

"This bracelet was given to you by your mother, wasn't it?"

"Mn," Liang Jia nodded. "It has been by my side since I can remember."

Yi Linsi's expression suddenly turned grave. Her aged voice sounded somewhat strange. "Little girl Liang, your background isn't that simple."

Liang Jia's heart skipped a beat and she remained calm and collected. She still wore a polite and perfect smile as she respectfully asked, "What do you mean?"

Yi Lin picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. She frowned: "Why do you think a big family like the Zhou family would go to an orphanage to adopt a child?"

Liang Jia frowned. Perhaps Liang Wenrui's desire to control herself was too strong, and she wholeheartedly wanted to personally raise a child bride. She had once thought about this question, and this was the answer she had given.

Seeing that Liang Jia had frowned without a word, Yi Lin Si continued, "Even if the Zhou family wants both of their children, there are still many cute and clever little girls in the orphanage. Why would they want someone like you who they have never met before?"

The Zhou family was actually … The one who asked for him? Liang Jia indeed did not know about this. From the looks of it, perhaps … Was there really a secret?

Yi Linsi saw the doubt in Liang Jia's eyes and explained, "That's because your background is related to the Zhou family."

His words were like a thunderclap, causing Liang Jia to be unable to react for a moment. It had something to do with the Zhou family? What did that mean?

"Your mother didn't abandon you. She was so sick that she had to send you to the orphanage."

Liang Jia was greatly surprised. Her heart beat wildly as she stared at Yi Linsi with a serious expression. "Principal, can you explain in detail?"

Yi Linsi recalled the scene of Liang Jia's mother carrying Liang Jia to the orphanage, but the cause and effect, whether it was hidden or not, were all unclear.

"I don't know much about your background," she said to her. "I just think you need to know. I can't tell you any more."

"Thank you, Principal." Although Liang Jia was a little disappointed, she still smiled.

"Anyway, it's good to have a happy life now."

Liang Jia replied with a smile. She stood up and said her goodbyes.

Liang Jia immediately went upstairs to look for that bracelet. After the wedding, she put it in a box on the makeup table, but Liang Jia picked up that exquisite box and discovered that it was empty.

She was stunned on the spot. What was going on?

Liang Jia was very anxious. The villa was very big. She searched every room, but found nothing.

As dusk fell, Zhou Xing Chen drove back in his car.

Seeing that the room was in a mess, he even thought that she was a thief, until he saw Liang Jia who was like a headless fly.

Beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead, and an extremely anxious expression emerged on her face.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xing Chen stepped forward to stop her.

Seeing that it was Zhou Xing Chen, Liang Jia tugged on his sleeve, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Where is my bracelet?"

"Bracelet?" "Your birth mother left that one behind?" Zhou Xing Chen retorted.

"That's right." Liang Jia's tone rose as she nodded anxiously.

Zhou Xing Chen extended a hand to touch the sparkling sweat on Liang Jia's nose, saying gently, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to ask for it all of a sudden?"

Liang Jia was about to jump up in panic, but she knew Zhou Xing Chen was suspicious. If she didn't give him a reason, he wouldn't give her the bracelet.

In a hurry, he told a lie that could not be any more casual. "I … I suddenly miss my mother today."

Zhou Xing Chen looked at her strangely.

Liang Jia hurriedly covered up her guilt and asked, "Do you know where to put them?"

Zhou Xing Chen nodded. "I saw you had such a great treasure, so I chose a different place to keep it locked up in the study room."

As he said this, he brought Liang Jia to the study and picked up a simple and unadorned box. On top of the box was a mismatched password lock.

Zhou Xing Chen opened the box for Liang Jia's birthday.

Zhou Xing Chen picked up the bracelet and handed it to her.

Liang Jia's hands received the treasure as if it were a treasure. Both of her hands constantly rubbed it, and an absolutely beautiful smile blossomed on her face.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Xing Chen knew that she definitely didn't miss her mother. It looked like she needed to investigate more than just her mother.

Liang Jia received the bracelet, feeling satisfied. In a good mood, she prepared a big meal. Zhou Xing Chen was even more suspicious.

When night fell and the two of them had finished washing up, Liang Jia fell asleep very early.

Zhou Xing Chen slowly got up, tiptoed to his desk, opened his mailbox, and ordered some people to investigate the background of the bracelet.

After which, he went back to sleep and did not speak for the entire night.

The next day, while the birds were chirping, Zhou Xing Chen was jolted awake by two messages.

The first one was that he had received a reply from last night. The message said that he had never seen this bracelet before and had no information. It was probably a long-term quest.

This was within Zhou Xing Chen's expectations. Even if it was a long term mission, he would be able to find it no matter how hard he tried.

The second message was, "12 o'clock at noon at the Rensen Inn, please enjoy the treat, Young Master Zhou." Signed, Xia Zhiyang.

Xia Zhiyang? Zhou Xing Chen raised his eyebrows. It was Xia Qin'er's father. He frowned as he recalled what Xia Qin'er had said a few days ago.

Looking at the sleeping Liang Jia, he pressed a kiss on her bright face.

It looked like it was a Hong Gate banquet …
