Chapter 10 Love Itself

"Mr. Hugo, I've found what you want. Now it's in the hand of the famous jewelry collector Dylan Lee. He asked me to tell you that if you want it, you need to go to see him in person." Putting down the phone, Hugo pulled out the drawer and took out the wooden box. With his chin on the lid, he was like a child holding his favorite toy.

On Xidan Street, there was a coffee shop in a remote place, which was a public secret place for many dignitaries. Although the coffee shop was located in a remote place, the decoration outside seemed very ordinary and even shabby and the door was only of a normal size, the decoration inside was as magnificent as the hall of a five-star hotel. The tall marble pillars supported two floors. There were dozens of small boxes on the second floor. The decoration was luxurious, and there were all kinds of equipment like washrooms. There was almost no car parked there, because the CEO or boss who came here to talk about business were sent by the driver, and then the driver drove the car away. So it was hard to tell from the appearance that this was a famous place.

There was a box on the second floor called "Endless Night". Hugo had been waiting there for a long time. Every time he came to discuss business or meet friends, he would ask his secretary to book this box. Because of the influence of Hugo in the business world, almost no one dared to compete with him, so the box of "Endless Night" only belonged to him.

Suddenly, the door was opened. It was Dylan Lee, the most famous jewelry collector in Beijing and even in the country. He often did some treasure identification programs on TV, so he was very famous and had a wide range of contacts. He got all the limited or out-of-production jewelry in the market through various channels.

"Mr. Dylan, long time no see." Hugo stood up and shook hands with him.

After the two of them sat down, Hugo came straight to the point. "Dylan, to tell you the truth, that brooch was a birthday gift from my father to my mother, but it was accidentally lost by my mother. I tossed and turned and heard that it was in your hand, so I wanted to buy it back as a token of my filial piety. The price is not a problem. You can give me whatever you want. "

Although the two of them didn't have a deep relationship, he had always heard that Hugo was domineering and cold. He had planned to take this opportunity to make things difficult for him today, but he found that he was not the same as the rumor. Having seen a lot of people, of course, he knew how to deal with people and naturally changed the way of conversation.

"Ha ha, Mr. Hugo, you are such a straightforward man. I like this kind of character. You don't hide anything from people." After flattering him, he came back to the point. "You must be kidding me. I've been working in this industry for many years. Don't worry. I've never asked for a lot of money. But this brooch must be very expensive. Ten years ago, it was a series of flower meanings, and this rose was naturally unique. Today, its price could be imagined.

Seeing that Hugo nodded slightly to show his agreement, he paused and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. For the sake of your filial piety, this price." as he spoke, he stretched out two fingers.

Hugo had been well prepared. When he came here, he had decided not to lower the price no matter how high the price was, because the brooch was priceless to him. No matter how much money he bought it, it was a good deal for him.

"No problem." Hugo took out a cheque from his suit pocket and wrote a few things on it. Then he pushed it across the table. With admiration, Dylan Lee gave a thumbs up and said, "You are a filial son." Then he took out a delicate box from the inner pocket of his suit and pushed it to him.

"I believe that I have done a good thing when this brooch is in the hands of a person who recognizes its value." Then he stood up and left.

Carefully opening the box, Hugo saw the brooch that he hadn't seen for decades. Like before, the diamond that had been polished through countless processes was still shining in the light. He unbuttoned his suit and put it on the left shirt, the closest place to his heart.

When he was about to get off work, Tracy Zhang called him. She said, "Mrs. Zora wants to have dinner with you today.

"I have something to do."

Tracy Zhang deserved to be the private secretary that Mrs. Zora Zhou hadn't changed for several years. She had a good temper. She persuaded, "Mr. Hale has just passed away. Mrs. Zora is in a bad mood. You'd better go back and accompany her more."

The relationship between Hugo and his mother had been stiff all the time, just because of Cindy. When it was the first time that Hugo had brought Cindy home, the shrewd parents quickly realized that it was not Wendy. Hale loved Wendy so much. How could he allow anyone to replace her? At that time, he asked Cindy to get out and ordered Hugo to get Wendy back. As for Zora Zhou, she was very nice to this woman who looked exactly like Wendy. She hated Wendy very much since childhood, thinking that she had robbed her husband and son. Even if the woman in front of her looked the same as Wendy, she was still eager to let Hugo marry her and let him forget Wendy, who had been missing.

It must be a high-end club. He couldn't see a waiter when he went up the stairs. When he entered the private room, he saw Zora Zhou and Cindy sitting on both sides of the table. Although Zora Zhou had been depressed because of Mr. Hale's death, she still had a smile on her face when she saw Hugo come in. "What do you want to eat today?"

"Whatever."

Zora Zhou turned to the person who was standing next to her and said, "Arrange it."

There were only three people left in the room. Zora Zhou looked at her son and asked, "Why do you lose weight again?"

"I'm fine. Just say it. My time is precious. I have to sign a contract with someone else tonight."

Zora Zhou was used to her son's attitude. She had spoiled him since childhood. She looked at Hugo and Cindy, who had been sitting aside silently, and said, "Recently, your father's matter has made everyone very sad, but we still have to live. You are not young anymore and you are engaged. When are you going to get married? It will bring good luck for our Hua family. "

There was a moment of complacency on Cindy's face, but she quickly returned to her usual reserved smile.

"Let's see, I don't plan to get married at all." Lowering his head, Hugo played with his fingers. Hearing what he said, the smile on Cindy's face suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Zora Zhou slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, and the gentle voice disappeared in an instant.

"What do you want? Are you still thinking about Wendy? She has been missing for four or five years, and you still love her? What a loser. Was she that good? Can't a sister who looks like her replace her? " Instantly, Zora Zhou realized that she had said something wrong and coughed awkwardly.

She changed her tone and continued, "Son, you're engaged to Cindy. What would she do if you don't want to get married?" Zora Zhou ignored Cindy and didn't allow her to interfere.

"It has nothing to do with her. Don't guess." Said Hugo impatiently. "There are also many people who don't get married even if they are engaged. Just cancel it."

Zora Zhou knew her son very well. It was useless to argue with him. She tried her best to suppress her anger, looked at him with mockery and said, "Okay, the only person suitable for you in the world is Wendy. Then find her back. If she is still alive, how old will her child be? Then I will have a grandson in vain. "

These words really hit Hugo's sore spot, especially the child. He frowned and clenched his fingers to fists, which could be heard creaking in the quiet room.

"What's wrong? Did you get hurt?" Zora Zhou glanced at him. Still in anger, Hugo kept silent.

"Don't think about that woman. Look at Cindy, she is gentle, virtuous and considerate. She is much better than that arrogant and domineering sister." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zora Zhou continued to persuade him.

"I have something else to do. I won't be with you. Enjoy yourselves." Then Hugo stood up and walked out.

"The dishes haven't been served yet. Where are you going?" Hugo quickened his pace, as if he was leaving that place as fast as he could.

It was raining heavily outside. Hugo's mind went blank. He didn't realize that the shed on his sports car was not closed until he was completely wet. He angrily pulled out his hand and patted the button hard. Then the ceiling slowly descended and closed.

The Lamborghini, which had reached its limit, was like an angry bull, speeding on the highway. He liked racing, so he chose the fastest Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce of Lamborghini sports car.

When he was abroad, he waited in the apartment of the two people every night. The sound of key opening came to his mind countless times, and then she would let him carry her into the house as before. When he saw Louisa that day, he lied to himself. He knew it was not her, but he still treated her as her.

It was not until he came back and saw Luo [未央] that all the past flooded him. Even though she was wearing an ordinary uniform and squatting on the ground to pick up the debris, and he could only see half of her face. Hugo could recognize that she was Wendy.
