Bai Yijun was obviously not used to this kind of straight-forward conversation without any pleasantries.

However, she was only slightly startled, then smiled kindly at Shen Ke, took out a carved wooden box from her handbag, and pushed it in front of Shen Ke.

"In this regard, you are just like your mother, who has her own ideas."

"When they engage in archaeology, there are always many restrictions. For example, they do not collect archaeological items. Although she was very young at the time, a powerful person always stands out."

"Everyone in Nanjiang University knows about Lu Hui. She collects antiques and sometimes goes to the antique street to pick up missing pieces. This was almost the only thing about her that was criticized at the time."

Bai Yijun picked up a small spoon, stirred the coffee in front of him, and said slowly.

Her voice was very soft, but it carried the flavor of time, easily bringing people into the past.

"Don't you young people today always talk about cyber violence? It was about the same back then. But Lu Hui never took it to heart until someone saw the antiques she donated in the museum, and she never explained it."

Hearing this, Shen Ke nodded gently.

In her impression, Lu Hui was indeed like this. The antiques on the ancient shelves at home were replaced one after another, and the ones that remained were basically broken and could not be repaired for the time being.

Those collected are good, or have been repaired by her... When a certain amount is accumulated, she will donate them to the museum.

Spending your own money on something that has no profit is like stupid bubbles popping out of your head, like a mockery of human nature. But there are really such people in this world.

In Lu Hui's eyes, those ancient relics were like pearls. She couldn't bear to have them covered in dust, wandering outside or locked up in a small space at No. 18 Xinghe Road.

They should appear in front of more people, so that more people can feel the weight of Chinese history.

Shen Ke looked at her right hand. Her mother was holding her right hand and saying this to her while standing in the museum.

Lu Hui is a pure and selfless person.

"This carved box was a gift your mother gave me back then. After she passed away, I put some old things related to her in this box. Rather than leaving them here, I want to give you more. It’s more appropriate.”

Bai Yiyun said, picking up the coffee cup and taking a sip.

Shen Ke didn't look at her, but stared at the box for a while, then opened it gently. Inside were several old photos, an old-fashioned watch with a black strap, and a bunch of keys.

On top of the key was a small goldfish woven from hose.

Shen Ke's pupils shrank suddenly, she picked up the bunch of keys, raised her head and looked at Bai Yiyun with burning eyes.

"This is the key to my home, the key to No. 18 Xinghe Road. This goldfish was made up for me by an old man who lives near my home. I hung it on my mother's keychain. Why is it here with you?"

Bai Yijun nodded calmly, "Well, that day is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. I came back from abroad and brought you a red woolen skirt and chocolates. I asked your mother to come and get them."

"Maybe it was because she was too busy near the end of the year. She seemed a little absent-minded. When she was washing her hands in the bathroom, she forgot her keys and watch at my house."

"Originally I wanted to send it to her, but something delayed it, and then...it has been kept here for so many years."

Shen Ke stared at Bai Yiyun.

She didn't have any unnatural look on her face, and she looked very calm.

She didn't even feel any dissatisfaction with Shen Ke's impolite staring behavior.

"What do you want to eat for lunch? Their steak is very good, and they also have black forest cake."

Shen Ke withdrew her gaze. She had experienced that day again in her dream just a few days ago.

I remember very clearly that I was wearing a red dress that night, and my mother Lu Hui did indeed say that it was a New Year's gift from a friend.

The chocolate was opened on the night of New Year's Eve and placed on the coffee table along with a bunch of festive New Year snacks. She ate a lot of them.

Before going to bed, her mother specially told her to brush her teeth.

Therefore, it should be true that I went to get the red dress and chocolate.

"Did she say why she was upset at that time?" Shen Ke asked seriously.

When Bai Yijun heard Shen Ke's words, he randomly ordered a few signature dishes on the menu and frowned.

"Are you suspecting that this is related to your mother's case?"

She handed the menu to the waiter and shook her head regretfully.

"I asked about it at the time, but she didn't elaborate. She just said it was a work matter."

"Shen Ke, I'm sorry that I can't help you. I haven't contacted you for so many years."

Shen Ke picked up the cold coffee on the table and took a long sip.

The coffee has no milk or sugar. It is bitter and makes people calm down immediately.

Shen Ke turned his head and looked out the window. The revolving restaurant had moved to the other side. Looking down from here, it was a large street garden. The vehicles going south and north suddenly shrank into ants.

"Bai..." Shen Ke was interrupted before she finished speaking.

I saw a woman wearing a long suspender skirt and sunglasses who walked with a windy look, dragging a dejected yellow man over.

She pressed the yellow hair next to Bai Yiyun and sat down next to Shen Ke.

"Mom, this is the Officer Shen you were talking about, right? Xiao Cheng got into trouble again, and people came to our door. You should go and have a look."

Bai Yiyun's face turned pale, and her previous elegance suddenly disappeared. She stood up, looked at Xiao Huangmao next to her, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no injury on his face.

"Shen Ke, I'm sorry, I have something to do at home. I'll take the first step. I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Shen Ke nodded slightly and stood up.

That little yellow haired boy looked a little familiar.

Bai Yijun quickly stood up, his high heels hitting the ground with a "click, click, click" sound, which was much faster than before.

When the people walked away, she stood up in the suspender skirt and sat where Bai Yiyun was sitting before.

"Aren't you going to go with us? Baiyou," Shen Ke said lightly.

The woman named Bai You opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Do you know me?"

Shen Ke shook his head, "During the investigation at the Xiangyang Hotel, they said that the pattern was painted by Bai You, the daughter of Bai Yijun, the chairman of Baishi Group, when she was three years old."

Bai You was even more surprised. She gave Shen Ke a thumbs up, "Awesome! I've long heard that you are a child prodigy!"

As she spoke, she pulled the steak served by the waiter in front of her, and started cutting it with a knife, regardless of the appetizers. This style was completely opposite to Bai Yiyun's.

"Don't believe everything my mother says. In fact, she doesn't know your mother very well," Baiyou said, smiling somewhat self-deprecatingly. "She is a typical businessman, and she has a purpose in everything she does."

"The purpose of setting up the student aid society is to make connections. Those who can go to Nanjiang University and have spare money to study abroad are all high-quality resources. They gave you dresses and chocolates back then. Do you think why?"

"I haven't contacted you for so many years, and then suddenly contacted you in the past two days. Why?"
