Rong Dai was puzzled that a woman like An Feiya who was outstanding even as a sideline, with assets worth over billions, would be threatened by someone like Zuo Ran.
The sisters-in-law soon arrived at the Hua Xia Bank Head Office. With the help of the little sister-in-law and the high status An Feiya seemed to hold here, the two didn't have to wait long.
"Ms. Rong, all the procedures have been handled, but only you can enter with the key."
The staff came in and explained with a professional smile.
"It's fine, sister-in-law you go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Huo Mei Shu was well aware of these rules, and of course would not mind them either. She had come with her sister-in-law just to probe subtly what problems had arisen between her and her big brother.
Rong Dai nodded, took the key and followed the staff out of the reception room.
Only then did Huo Mei Shu's gaze fall on the documents in the folder. She couldn't help but become curious and picked it up to take a closer look. Seeing the asset valuation, she couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.
After hesitating, she took out her phone, took a few photos and sent them to Huo Shao Ting, along with a string of text.
Huo Shao Ting, who had just arrived at the company to handle two contracts, heard his phone ring, looked at it, and called Lu Hong after seeing the photo on it.
Rong Dai followed the staff member into the bank vault. The staff took her to the safe deposit box corresponding to this key and then stood to one side.
Rong Dai inserted the key to open the safe deposit box. It was very large, easily able to accommodate a small child.
The safe deposit box was packed full.
Inside were seven or eight redwood boxes, all exquisitely made, containing jewellery of extremely fine workmanship.
In her previous life, Rong Dai had seen countless jewels, and her eyes were naturally sharp. At a glance, she could see the collectible value of these jewels.
The jewellery included rubies, sapphires, pink diamonds, and a whole set of old mine imperial green jewellery with excellent clarity.
Rong Dai had seen big money before, so she wasn't shocked by this much, but she was surprised.
She became more and more curious about what kind of person An Feiya really was.
Apart from these valuable jewels, there were some insurance policies left, some investment-linked policies taken out for her. Rong Dai checked them one by one and found that An Feiya had also purchased several investment grade properties for her.
Then there was a box locked with a small gold lock, with a letter placed on it.
She picked it up and looked at the things in the safe deposit box, unsure for the moment how to deal with them.
"Do I have to take all these things away now?"
The staff glanced at the tablet in their hand and replied gently, "Ms. Rong, we have completed all the handover procedures for you. Ms. An has paid the insurance premiums for the next ten years."
Rong Dai breathed a sigh of relief, then closed the safe deposit box, "Then let it stay here for now."
Ten years would give her enough time to deal with these matters properly. She could handle these things later without rushing.
"Of course, Ms. Rong."
The staff member nodded, then checked the safe deposit box before leading her out of the vault.
"Sister-in-law, how did it go?" Huo Mei Shu asked as Rong Dai emerged after such a short time.
Rong Dai smiled lightly and shook her head, "My mother left me some things and asked me to take a look. It's been dealt with, let's go back first."
The sisters-in-law then got into the car to leave. As Rong Dai looked at the bustling streets outside, she was filled with mixed emotions and casually asked, "Mei Shu, shall we go somewhere for a drink?"
Back at the Huo residence, she wouldn't be able to resist thinking of Huo Shao Ting.
Huo Mei Shu agreed without hesitation, directly choosing a quiet cafe with a nice environment.
Rong Dai liked new things, she hadn't drunk this coffee before, so she tried a Frappuccino.
Huo Mei Shu ordered her own drink and some pastries, then considerately took out her phone pretending she had messages to reply: "Sister-in-law, go ahead with what you need to do, I'll reply some friends."
Rong Dai nodded, tore open the letter, and a small gold key fell out - the key to the box in the safe deposit box, presumably.
An Feiya had left a letter about seven to eight pages thick.
The letter wasn't very long, but An Feiya seemed to have anticipated that something might happen to her, so she left this letter as soon as possible.
Rong Dai read the eight pages carefully.
It described An Feiya's feelings and entanglement with Zuo Ran at length, as well as her deep maternal love.
Although Rong Dai wasn't the original owner, after reading the letter, she finally understood why a woman like An Feiya would have gotten involved with Zuo Ran.
An Feiya had grown up overseas since she was little. Oddly, she fell in love with her foster father's eldest son, and there were mutual feelings between them.
However, An Feiya's foster father was an aristocrat overseas, of noble status. Although An Feiya was his foster daughter and they had no blood relation, such feelings could not be recognized.
Inevitably, one of them had to give up this relationship that was doomed from the start, and An Feiya had to be the one to let go.
An Feiya returned to China alone with the substantial assets given to her by her foster father, and settled down in Huaxia.
The two were separated by oceans, but not long after An Feiya arrived in Huaxia, she discovered she was pregnant - undoubtedly the daughter of her foster father's eldest son.
At that time, An Feiya was still a girl in her early twenties. Adding to the emotional hurt, she encountered Zuo Ran, who was working as a cleaner at the hospital during childbirth.
Zuo Ran was around the same age as An Feiya, having just emerged from the miry pit at that time.
An Feiya was at her most helpless then, and with complications arising during childbirth, Zuo Ran was the only one by her side.
Zuo Ran accompanied her through the darkest time in An Feiya's life. As for when Zuo Ran started having that inclination, the letter didn't say.
Over the years, An Feiya used her keen intellect and the substantial assets from her foster father to invest and secretly accumulate considerable wealth.
Although she was grateful for Zuo Ran's company, she also realized how dangerous Zuo Ran was during their time together, so she had long made arrangements for her daughter in secret.
She had accumulated considerable wealth for her daughter, enough for her to live in comfort for life.
It was just a pity that Zuo Ran cut all this off. After finding out about it, Zuo Ran went mad.
This led to the plot of that car accident. It was originally meant to teach An Feiya a lesson, but ended up with An Feiya dead.
Rong Dai couldn't understand An Feiya's feelings, but she could understand the struggle and contradiction, just like her previous life facing the Emperor.
But An Feiya truly loved her daughter very much, and had arranged everything for her sake.
What she didn't expect was that her own daughter would die during a minor surgery.
