I looked up at him. The man was in his forties, wearing a yellow white vest. He wasn't very tall, and the only reason he'd hit me was because I hadn't noticed him.

I looked at him as he crawled up from the ground, brushed the dust off his clothes and said, "I want to see Ye He. Who are you to her? Where did she go? The reason why I'm here now is to give Ye He a chance. If she doesn't appear, we'll meet in court. My words were filled with threats, but in reality, there was nothing I could do about what Ye He had done.

Ye He's mother and that man looked at each other. In the end, Ye He's mother started to loosen up a little, but that man held her back and did not let her speak.

"So you're going to put your daughter in jail for money?" "Oh, maybe I was wrong. Maybe it's better for your daughter to go to jail, then all the money you get from other people will come to you. Isn't that just right with you?"

Hearing my words, Ye He's mother felt wronged. On the contrary, the man beside her took a step forward and wanted to hit me again, so I took a step back and calmly said, "If you hit me again, I'll send you to jail."

The man hesitated for a moment and didn't make a move.

"Do you still want your daughter?" I once again began to urge Ye He's mother, "You probably still don't know what she did wrong, do you believe what your daughter said? Let me tell you, other than me, there are many others who are looking for your daughter.

I stared fixedly at Ye He's mother as I spoke. Maybe it was because of my threatening tone that she started to feel uneasy.

She doesn't understand anything, so I don't think Ye He could tell her mother everything that happened in detail. It would be good if she could deceive her mother.

"Forget it." I sneered as I planned to leave. "Looks like my daughter isn't as important as money. If you have decided not to tell me, then there's no need for me to stay here any longer."

I turned around and left, ignoring Ye He's mother's alternating between green and white face.

I was still a little apprehensive, afraid that her mother would not stop me, because if she did not stop me now, I would have no reason to come here in the future.

Stop me. I said to myself.

Sure enough, just as I was about to step out of the courtyard, Mother Ye He's voice sounded from behind me.

Her house is located in the corner of the villa, and Ye He's father is still working in the nursing home. As for the man who was's neighbor just now, I can tell that he is probably interested in Ye He's mother.

Ye He's house was very small. The white walls were filled with gray mold and the floor was tiled, so it could be considered clean after stepping on it.

Although they were from the city, they didn't have the rights to demolish the buildings for the time being, so they could only squeeze into this small house, which had a shared bathroom.

Ye He's mother placed me on a chair and went to the other room to make a phone call.

"She said she would come back." After a while, Ye He's mother came back and said, her expression was a little sad.

It was a little awkward for her and me to sit here in silence.

After half an hour, there was a knock on the door. Ye He's mother rushed to open the door while I followed behind.

"Mom, are you sick?" Ye He grabbed her mother's wrist and asked in concern the moment she entered the door.

"I'm fine." Ye He's mother said with slight guilt, "Yes …"

"I'm the one looking for you." I walked out from the back and stood in front of Ye He.

Ye He looked at me, then at her mother, her expression changing again. Finally, she sighed and said to her mother, "Can you stop dragging me down, please?"

Ye He's mother's face instantly turned white, her body swayed, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

I stepped forward to support her, allowing her to sit on a chair to the side. Only then did I look straight at Ye He.

Ye He was very young, and she looked even more beautiful than three years ago. Her hair was curly brown, and she wore shorts and a vest.

Sometimes, malice would come in mysterious ways.

I sat back on the chair and looked at Ye He, "Tell me the reason." Her voice was cold and indifferent, like the crisp sound of ice hitting the ground.

Ye He stared at me and said, "Previously you said that I could be a designer, but I've applied for a few times and you've all rejected me."

"Just because of this?" I felt a little funny. "Why don't you look at your own abilities? Do you think you can compare yourself to someone who's a major in science just by studying for a few months? "

"I'm not as good as you to let me learn, but every time you refuse, you leave me no leeway at all." Ye He said in dissatisfaction, "Since you all don't want me to do it, I will do it anyway."

I couldn't help but laugh at her words. I asked her, "Do I owe you anything?"

"Forget it." Without waiting for a retort, I said, "What is your purpose? What do you get if you rob my employees? Who's the person behind you? "

Hearing my words, Ye He's head drooped down, as if she was considering whether to tell me or not. In the end, she said, "Hmph, they are much better than you, they promised me that as long as I can bring those craftsmen over, they will not only make me a designer, but also give me a huge amount of money."

"Who are they?" I asked her.

She looked at me without answering my question.

We were in a stalemate for another half an hour, and I decided to leave. The craftsmen who had been taught the arts by my grandfather wouldn't be able to come back, and even if they did, I didn't plan on using them. They could leave my shop today for money, or they could sell the important materials in my shop tomorrow for money.

As for Ye He? If she could spend money to steal her away today, then she would be abandoned when she was useless tomorrow. It was fine if she betrayed them, but after betraying them she would be stepped on. This kind of people wouldn't give her such a heavy responsibility no matter what.

The ones behind Ye He would eventually surface.

I left Ye He's house, it was already very late, I walked slowly along the beach, the black ocean waves hitting the beach, the moon in the sky seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, it was so hazy that it could not be seen clearly.

Right at that moment, I suddenly received a call. It was Ding Min, I took a deep breath and smiled as I picked up the call.

"Ding Min, how come you're free to call me today?" I said to Ding Min with a smile, trying my best to not let Ding Min notice my emotions.

Ding Min had an impetuous personality, the moment the phone was picked up she said, "Xia Ying, do you still remember the woman we met at the airport?"

"Which woman?" I asked, a little confused. The sea breeze was blowing on my face, so I felt like I was getting a little better.

Ding Min said anxiously, "It's that woman who said that your brooch was bad."

"I remember." In my mind I saw the face of the girl I had seen before.

Ding Min lowered her voice and explained to me, "That girl is called Yan Siqi, her family is in the art business, there are many galleries, exhibitions and auctions in the entire country, they are all done by her family, they are especially rich, but her family's work is too wicked, they originally had a painter's work that was already dead in their hands, and the painter's daughter really wanted that painting. She prepared a lot of money for the auction, but the price of the painting that could be bought with hundreds of thousands of thousands of gold was increased by several fold, the Yan family specially asked for it."

I quietly listened to what Ding Min had to say, and suddenly thought of Li Jie. Every time she called, she would complain, and I wondered how she was doing.

"Anyway, before the Yan Clan started their art business, their assets were not clean." Ding Min said, "The reason I called you today is to tell you that your family's blacksmith has probably been dug out by Yan Siqi."

"Yan Siqi? "Why?" I remembered that arrogant girl, she also learned from the Jewelry Design …

I already had a premonition in my heart.

"Not just your family. There are other families as well." Ding Min said, "If Yan Siqi wants to open a studio, she naturally has to poach people from different places. Yan Siqi is her father's most treasured daughter."

As I listened to Ding Min's words, an idea started to form in my mind. I would never be willing to endure Yan Siqi's words, if that's the case, then I will also turn the shop into a private studio.

The thought had been lingering in my mind for a long time, but it was only now that I made up my mind, and I believed that my grandfather in heaven would agree with me.

"Xia Ying, are you listening to me?" Ding Min called out my name.

"Yes." I hastily replied, "I'm listening."

Ding Min smiled and then said mysteriously, "I have another piece of news to tell you."

"Hmm?" I could tell from her tone that she wasn't going to tell me the news that easily.

"I feel that this information is worth a brooch." Ding Min laughed as she spoke, her tone sounding a little embarrassed, as though she had mustered up her courage to speak with me.

Hearing her words, I laughed involuntarily, feeling that this girl was really cute, and taking into consideration that she really liked this brooch, I said, "This brooch of mine is very useful, but I swear to you now, when I officially push this brooch out, the first person I will give it to is you, I will never boast."

Ding Min was laughing happily on the other end of the phone.

"Recently, DeBeers, the world's largest diamond company, held a competition to design a global series for its" FOREVERMARK Eternal Imprint "brand. If you can stand out in this series, you can participate in the series." Ding Min paused for a moment before continuing, "Yan Siqi will participate."

"I know, thank you." I nodded.

I hung up and suddenly felt a lot better.

Many times, I would think that I was standing on a dead end, just like the first time I discovered that Xie Zongming had cheated and separated from Zhou Jin. It was only later on that despair meant that I, who had fallen into a new life, would be considered to have gone up no matter which path I took afterwards.

Despair is the beginning of rebirth.

I decided to overhaul my jewelry store to make it something new.

There was no one by the sea now, and the sea breeze was blowing on my face, and something inside me seemed to have broken free.

I found myself walking toward the seaside seat, where I remembered Zhou Jin and me. I didn't know if the fat cat was still there, but maybe I should have settled it before I left.

I sat in the chair with the moon above me, and suddenly I felt safe, and I closed my eyes.

But at that moment, I suddenly felt that someone was looking at me, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I opened my eyes and looked at the empty sea.

I hesitated, then finally took a cab and left.

Early the next morning, I quickly went to knock on Li Han's door. It took a long time before the door was opened. Li Han, who was in pajamas, rubbed his unkempt hair as he looked at me blankly.

He placed me down on the dining table and served me hot chocolate milk. I couldn't stand drinking hot chocolate in the summer so I pushed it to the side. Li Han finished his own cup, and then very naturally drank my own cup.

I placed the plan that I had spent the entire night making in front of Li Han and said, "I've decided to renovate the entire shop, even to the point of changing its name."

When Li Han heard my words, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and looked at my proposal.

"From now on, my shop will only accept appointments, only make the best products, provide one-on-one professional services, and customize high-quality art jewelry for the guests. "Yes, from now on I will only make the best things." I put my hands on the table and said, "From today onwards, I will manage my own shop, so you don't need to be my manager anymore, but you may need to help out in the future. For example, can you introduce some good decorators?" I smiled at Li Han.

Li Han rubbed his hair, quickly flipped through the plans, and then pushed the plans back to me. He only spat out one word, "Okay."

His finger fell on the name of the shop on the first page of the plan. It was my new name for the store.

"Are you sure you want to change this?" he asked me softly.

I nodded.

The new name of the shop is Salomé.

Salomé, the daughter of the Bible's Herod of Israel, was rumored to be very beautiful. She fell in love with the prophet John at first sight and asked him for a kiss, but he refused. At Prince Herod's banquet, Prince Herod asked Salomé to dance a seven-staged muslin dance, and if she danced, she would have anything she wished for. Salomé said that her wish was John's head, and King Herod cut off John's head as promised, and Salomé kissed John's cold lips as she wished.

I like the story, especially when Salomé finally puts her hand on John's head and says, "Why don't you look at me. If you see me, you'll fall in love with me. The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death. "

The rest of my life was very busy. The refurbishment team that Li Han introduced to me was very outstanding, they could quickly understand my request.

I would go to the construction site during the day, I would go home to work at night, I would change the guest room of the house into a studio, the advantage of living alone was that I didn't have to consider other people's thoughts, if I had the opportunity in the future, I would renovate the entire house.

Time passed quickly, and it was finally the day of registration. I took a taxi to the city's most high-end office building, I didn't expect to meet them there.

This was the so-called narrow path between enemies.
