The ring was rather antique. Its emerald green surface was clear and lustrous. It was an extremely beautiful ring!
This was the Jiang family’s heirloom ring. Although it was not considered a superior treasure nor the symbolic identity of the family head, it was Jiang Yiru’s favorite ring.
Thus, unless it concerned the issue of life and death, Jiang Yiru would absolutely not sell such a ring.
The biggest possibility as to why Gu Qingyao had this ring was that Jiang Yiru passed it on to her.
Qin Zhiyuan recognized this ring almost immediately. This was his mother’s favorite.
As for the portrait that Gu Qingyao took out, it was a very simple painting that was of moderate size and folded in two. Once unfolded, it revealed a sketch of a younger version of Qin Zhiyuan that had Jiang Yiru’s personal stamp beside it.
Looking at these objects, Qin Zhiyuan almost broke out in tears.
“These are my mother’s. These are really my mother’s.”
Gu Qingyao said, “My teacher even wrote you a letter. But it is a little thick, so I did not bring it with me. It’s at my place.”
Qin Zhiyuan wanted to ask Gu Qingyao about Jiang Yiru in greater detail, but Gu Qingyao gave him such a huge surprise.
His mother’s letter!
It had been a very, very long time since he received his mother’s news.
“Where is it? Bring me to it. Quickly…”
Qin Zhiyuan was extremely anxious and could not be bothered with formalities as he ran out while pulling Gu Qingyao behind him.
Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched a little. This father and daughter are the exact same.
The trio left the house and took a car to the hotel where Gu Qingyao was staying.
She had not found a suitable house for the moment and was still staying in a hotel.
When they reached her suite, Gu Qingyao said, “Give me a moment. I’ll go and take it.”
Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Si waited in the living room while Gu Qingyao went into her bedroom.
Actually, that letter was in her interspace. Teacher rarely had a chance to tell her son about her circumstance, so the letter was extremely thick. It was truly unrealistic for Gu Qingyao to bring such a thick letter around with her.
Thus, she still had to make a trip back.
She took out the letter from her interspace and went out to pass it to Qin Zhiyuan.
Qin Zhiyuan hurriedly opened it and sat on the sofa with his eyes glued to the letter.
Actually, Jiang Yiru was uncertain whether Gu Qingyao would really be able to find Qin Zhiyuan, but this was the only chance she could contact her son, so she wrote a very long letter for Gu Qingyao to bring.
Most of the information in the letter was about Jiang Yiru’s current situation. She told Qin Zhiyuan that she was living very well now and was working in the capital. Her illness was treated as well, and moreover, it was treated by Gu Qingyao.
She also indicated that Gu Qingyao was her little disciple and when they once lived in the Qing River Brigade, it was Gu Qingyao who rescued them.
Jiang Yiru did not mention much about the past hardships but did talk a lot about the changes that happened afterward. In the end, she told Qin Zhiyuan to live well and take care of his family while they wait in China. Until one day where they can return from overseas and reunite as a family.
Qin Zhiyuan was really in tears this time.
Back then, the circumstances in the country were very complicated, and he only left the country because he had no choice. He could almost imagine how his parents were treated in the country. The Jiang family ceased to exist and fell from the peak to the bottom. Furthermore, the conditions were lacking, and they were rather old already, with his mother even being ill. How were they supposed to live on?
It had been many years, and although he was unwilling to accept it deep down inside, he understood that the odds were against his parents. Yet unexpectedly, he learned of this good news today. This was truly splendid!
