"I don't want anyone to know that I am married to Mu Yuehan, especially the Qin family." Zhou Liying half ordered and half requested.
"Don't worry about that miss. I have already asked the lawyers about the same before coming here. Mister Fan and Mister Qin had already approached me on multiple occasions to ask about you. But my lips are all sealed. I was loyal to Master and now you."
Zhou Liying nodded, trusting his words. He was one of the smartest person she knew and she knew, he would never disclose about herself and her private matters.
"I have already built up a story which I will tell them about your marriage."
They both talked for some more time before mister Zhang decided that it was time for him to leave, upon seeing how busy Zhou Liying was. He was happy from inside that Zhou Liying respected him so much as to give him so much time from her busy schedule.
"Mister Zhang, always remember my promise that I am only a call away from you. You can always approach me for any type of help." Zhou Liying smiled at him and looked at the man on whom she trusted, on whom her grandpa had trusted and once her mother had trusted too.
"I will remember miss." He gave a deep bow to her. "I will keep you updated with the happenings in the Qin family if only I get any news about them."
Zhou Liying nodded and sent him off.

After receiving all the will documents of Qin Yanze, Zhou Liying did not wish to work anymore. She kept looking at the documents which stated that now she was the owner of the said properties.
She sighed and looked at the keys of a particular locker of Shanghai bank. The locker held many memories of her mother and grandpa, left by Qin Yanze for her.
"Min Yue, we are going to Shanghai bank." She called Min Yue to her office and ordered her.
"But what about the meeting with Wilson's?"
"Postpone it."
"We have already postponed it twice. We can't do it again." Min Yue looked worried. "Otherwise they will cancel the deal."
"Let them cancel it then. I don't care." Zhou Liying stood up from her seat. "Let's go."
Min Yue nodded, well aware that nothing could change the mind of Zhou Liying.

Zhou Liying arrived at the bank. The managers and all the staff smiled when they received her identity from her. They wanted to give her the best treatment but she paid head to no one and made her way directly to the locker room.
"It's still the same." Zhou Liying sighed when she looked at the familiar lockers.
This bank was one of the oldest banks in the city. And Qin family had all their lockers in this bank for the last twenty-five years.
The locker in which Qin Yanze left the belongings for Zhou Liying once belonged to her mother. Zhou Liying used to visit the bank with her mother to operate the locker on multiple occasions.
After her mother's death, this locker was taken over by her grandma, then her and then Qin Yanze.
"Min Yue, go out." She ordered Min Yue before walking toward the locker. She opened it using the keys and pin given to her by Qin Yanze.
Gloominess appeared in her eyes once the locker was opened. All of the sudden, she felt weak. With shivering hands, very delicately, she took out an antique-looking jewellery box.
Drop by drop, tears started to fall from her eyes once she opened the box. Inside was her mother's jewelleries, her precious jewelleries which she used to love. She loved to watch her mother wear them.
'Mother, I want this ring. Will you gift it to me?'
A sob left her lips when she picked up a ring which she liked the most. She felt hurt upon looking at the jewellery not only because she missed her mother but also because most of the jewellery pieces were missing.
She did not know why her grandfather was so forced to give them to Huang Jiayi. She knew he must have his reasons.
'Mother, I promise that I will get back all your jewelleries from Huang Jiayi. I will also have my revenge on her. How dare of her to snatch your jewelleries?' Zhou Liying promised and roughly removed her tears.
She took out rest of the stuff from the locker which included some old books and calligraphy painting collection of her grandpa. A small smile escaped her lips when she saw some of the paintings were painted by her.
She too had learnt calligraphy once. She was not good at it but Qin Yanze had always treasured her paintings. He found her skilled and always praised her that she was amazing in calligraphy.
"Love you, grandpa. Thank you for leaving this treasure for me."
Zhou Liying collected everything. She called Min Yue and Aiden inside and handover everything to them.
"Handle them with care. They are very precious to me." She bewared them, even though she knew how capable they were, only because the things in their hands were priceless.
Zhou Liying excited the bank when she received a call from Zhou Bingbing.
"Lili, tonight we are going to Laski club and you too are joining us. I am not going to listen to your excuse. You are coming means you are coming. We all girls will be wearing red dresses. You too will wear the same." Zhou Bingbing spoke without breathing. She did not even give Zhou Liying a chance to speak.
"Complete whatever..."
"Will you stop and give me a chance to speak?" Zhou Liying rebuked over a chuckle. "I will be coming. I need clubbing. I want some time with you, and others to cool down myself." She huffed. "So much had happened with me and my life. I need some break and I know, I can get that break with you only."
"Cool. I will wait for you." And with that said, Zhou Bingbing ended the call.
