When Lin Gantang returned home, she heard the sound of crying the moment she entered. Little Yi’an was throwing a tantrum and his voice rang out clearly.

Jiang Tongtong was coaxing the child. Lin Gantang went over and asked, “Where’s Auntie Ke?”

“She said that she had some private matters to take care of and took a leave of absence two days ago. I happened to be free today, so I asked her to go back.” Jiang Tongtong gently patted Little Yi’an. She looked at Lin Gantang and smiled. “You’re home so early. Is something the matter?”

“I came back to get something. It’s a workday today. Aren’t you getting ready to go to work?” Lin Gantang stroked Little Yi’an’s thick hair.

“I interviewed for a company a few days ago. Everything was good, but when I found out that the director of the company was Lu Siyu, I gave up and didn’t go to that company,” Jiang Tongtong said.

Lin Gantang thought of how Lu Siyu had failed her interview at Shengfang. She snorted. “In my opinion, you don’t have to avoid her. She was the one who did that disgusting thing. She should have turned around and left when she saw you.”

“It’s just a job. I don’t want to tire myself out. It’ll be meaningless if I work with her and we have to scheme against each other.”

“That’s true. You can take your time to find something. There’s no rush. We all don’t want you to go out and suffer. Find a job that you like.”

Lin Gantang played with Little Yi’an for a while before saying, “I have something to do today. I’ll look for you to go shopping some other day. I’ll go upstairs first.”

Lin Gantang went to Mr. Lin’s room.

Mr. Lin’s room was still the same as when he was with Gantang’s mother many years ago. Some of the furnishings were already old, so he found new ones that were exactly the same.

Her mother liked a simple style, and the renovations did not seem out of place now. Moreover, Mr. Lin was not willing to redecorate. Firstly, he was used to it, and secondly, he was probably using this method to remember his deceased wife.

Lin Gantang found the safe and entered the password. There were many documents inside.

Lin Gantang carefully took them out and saw that share transfer documents and a few property ownership certificates were neatly stacked together.

There were some jewelry boxes inside. Lin Gantang recognized them as her mother’s belongings. They were all things that her mother had liked to wear back then.

Some of the jewelry had already appreciated in value. The gemstones were very beautiful, but Lin Gantang did not want them. She already had her mother’s pearl necklace. She would leave these here as a memento for her father.

Lin Gantang found the household register, and a few old photos came together when she took it out. She took a closer look. It turned out to be Lin Zhaonan when he was young, and there was a family photo of the four of them.

The edges of the photo had turned yellow, but the appearance of those in the photo was still very clear.

The memories of her childhood suddenly plainly appeared to her.

When Lin Gantang saw her mother’s smiling face in the photo, her heart was filled with longing and she couldn’t bear to put it down.

She looked at it again and again, took a photo with her camera, saved it in her phone, and carefully put it back into the safe and locked it. Lin Gantang went downstairs to inform Jiang Tongtong before returning to the car. She looked at the two books in her hands and smiled.

She tidied up her dress and opened the mirror to touch up her makeup. The person in the mirror smiled brightly. Of course, she had to be beautiful. If everything went smoothly, this certificate had to be used till she was old.

When she got old and opened the marriage certificate, she would see her most beautiful appearance when she was young. How good would that be?

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Gantang guessed that Wen Yanqing was not done yet. It was also not time for the Civil Affairs Bureau to get off work yet. There was plenty of time, so there was no need to rush.

She did not call Wen Yanqing. Thinking about how a steady person like him would willfully abandon his work, Lin Gantang could not help but laugh.

‘I’ll go back to the store to settle some matters first, then peacefully go and register my marriage,” Lin Gantang thought.
