C70 Anger
However, Linjia gave another explanation: "You can also take that as a form of courtesy, and you helped me get my things back, and I expressed my gratitude. Shouldn't normal relationships be like this?"
Su Huai looked at her. "You are?"
Lin Jia had a faint smile on her face. She didn't nod, nor did she shake her head.
However, Su Huai didn't entangle himself with this sort of unimportant question. His attention was completely drawn by the pattern on the handkerchief, and his fingers lightly caressed and touched it, causing it to feel even more real.
After a long time, he let out a sigh.
"It's this!!"
"What?" The doubts in Lin Jia's heart had already accumulated to the peak.
Su Huai took out a photo from his jacket pocket and stuffed it into Lin Jia's hands, "Take a look at this. "
It was an old photo that had already turned yellow. After an unknown period of time, all four corners of the photo had been flipped over. In order to maintain the photo's integrity, it had even been specially sealed. The four corners touched the stinger that was still pricked. The picture in the photo was a close-up that had been taken at a close distance. It was exactly the same as the one that had been embroidered on her handkerchief.
Lin Jia had not pinched needles for many years, but her eyesight, which had been trained since she was young, was still there.
She saw the key at a glance. "The embroidery in the picture is not the same as my handkerchief. I only used the same embroidery model. "
"Can you tell whether the two came from the same person?" Su Huai couldn't conceal his anticipation as he asked.
"The photo is still blurry, and it doesn't have the texture of the original. At first glance, I feel that it's somewhat similar, but relying solely on the judgment of the naked eye isn't able to come to a reliable conclusion. " Lin Jia returned the photo. There was a subtle expression on her face. She seemed to be asking casually. "Where did you get the photo from? It's really quite a coincidence that the embroidery looks so similar. To think that I always thought that my handkerchief was unique. "
Although she spoke casually, her hand movements were surprisingly cautious. Without batting an eyelid, she put the handkerchief away and also took back the small bag containing the handkerchief. She carefully folded her things and still put them back in the bag. She tightened the rope and prepared to put them away.
"Take a look at this again. " It was as if Su Huai's pocket had transformed into a Treasure Chest. With a pull of his hand, he took out another item and placed it in front of Lin Jia.
Borrowing the dim lights on both sides of the bench, Lin Jia saw that between his fingers, there was a red rope tied to a rather exquisite purse. The front side of the purse was Jin. The back side was embroidered with a pattern that had a meaning of auspicious and auspicious. In the past, it should have been filled with Chinese medicine inside, although it had been a long time since the purse appeared to be old. However, when placed closer, one could still smell the fragrance of the medicine.
"What's wrong with you today? The things you took out are all these old things. " Lin Jia liked these little things with special characteristics in her heart. She took it in her hand. She tossed and turned it over and over. On the front side of the purse, there was a charmingly naive rabbit embroidered. The spirit moved and the spirit moved. On the other side was a piece of green grass. In the distance, peach blossoms fell along with the cool breeze. It was dotted between the greenery.
The space on the bag was limited. Whether it was small animals or scenery, it was not easy to embroidered a complete picture and express the artistic conception that they wanted to convey. What was rare was that the person who embroidered the purse had a clever mind. She did it naturally and turned the simplest purse into an unforgettable artistic treasure.
Lin Jia gently slid her finger across the pattern. For some reason, she felt that it was a little strange. It was as if an invisible hand was pulling all of her concentration onto it. There were a few times when she wanted to look away. However, she realized that she could not do it at all. She could only look at it over and over again. It was as if this was the only way to let her find the strange things that came with the explosion of inspiration.
During this process, Su Huai was completely observing from the sidelines. He did not open his mouth to give guidance, nor did he urge her, as he waited with extreme patience.
"How strange!" Lin Jia suddenly let out a low cry of surprise, and quickly stood up. She tightened her grip on the purse and jogged in the direction of the restaurant.
Su Huai took a look at the purse that was thrown aside and ignored at the side. He picked it up, held it in his hand, and followed her.
When they arrived nearby, they saw Lin Jia find a place with the brightest light. She held the purse and looked at it seriously.
When Su Huai walked nearby, Lin Jia immediately instructed, "Help me take out the handkerchief. "
When he heard these words, Su Huai's movements were swift.
The handkerchief and pouch were held in each hand by Lin Jia and sent over in the middle of her palm. For a very long period of time, she didn't speak and just watched earnestly.
She was looking for that strange part, but he was focusing on her beautiful side profile.
"This purse and this handkerchief seem to be the same person's work. "
Lin Jia was shocked by her own conclusion. "How could it be the work of the same person? Could it be that I was wrong? "
As she spoke, she carefully examined it again, slowly feeling a little discouraged.
"I want to know where the person who made this handkerchief is right now. " Su Huai interrupted her self-doubt.
Lin Jia suddenly raised her head, "Is this the true reason you brought me here today?"
Su Huai turned his head to avoid the sharpness in her eyes, but he did not intend to dodge, "Yes. "
"Why are you looking for her?" Lin Jia asked warily.
"Lin Jia, if you know where she is, please tell me. This is very important to me. " Su Huai could be considered to be pleading, but his attitude of avoiding was similarly obvious. He hoped to obtain what he wanted from Lin Jia, but he didn't intend to tell her the reason.
"How important is it?" Lin Jia's eyes revealed deep thought.
"No matter what the cost is, I have to use all my strength. I have to win. " He replied in such a manner.
Lin Jia suddenly smiled. "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. You can't go to the place where she exists. "
"Where?" Su Huai's heart stopped beating, and an extremely bad premonition flashed through his mind.
In the next second, the premonition came true.
Lin Jia answered: "Another world"
Su Huai:!!
"The handkerchief was made by my grandmother. She has already passed away for five years. You really can't go to the place she's at. "

When Su Huai left that night, the disappointed expression on his handsome face was like the sky in the plum rain season of June, and it was gloomy and heavy to the point it would never dissipate.
Lin Jia first went home to take a bath, changed her clothes, and then went to the office.
There was actually more than half of the team members present. When they heard Lin Jia in the group say that they had found an idea, these people could no longer sit still. Each of their haggard faces and pairs of excited eyes held a simple meeting around the table. Lin Jia rearranged the work, and thus, as if injected with stimulants, they rushed back to the front of the desk and completely buried themselves into the data.
It was exactly ten o'clock at night.
The ordinary people were ready to wash up and rest.
And these people were still planning to fight all night for a theoretical possibility.
With a capable assistant to share the burden, Lin Jia's workload was greatly reduced.
During the short break, she looked at her phone.
Ten minutes ago, Su Huai actually sent a message over.
He said, Lin Jia, I must go and see your grandmother.
Lin Jia was amused on the spot. She didn't expect that Su Huai still had some luck in his heart when he said things to this extent.
Seeing that dinner that night was so expensive that it cost him his life was paid without mercy, she calmly replied. I also want to see her, but she's already gone. Where can I see her if I want to see her?
Her good mood was interrupted by Su Huai.
Lin Jia lay on the table and tilted her head to look out the window.
If there was really a way to make her meet someone who had passed away, to be able to let her see a face that only existed in her memories again, no matter what kind of price she had to pay, she would be willing in her heart.
Unfortunately, how could life have so many ifs? Regrets were always regrets, just like a healed wound that no longer hurt and bled, but would always have a scar there.
Occasionally, she would encounter Su Huai, this kind of lightly poking with his finger. On the surface, she smiled lightly and lightly, but in reality, there was a painful feeling that existed like a shadow in a hidden corner.
After calming her mood for a while, Lin Jia sat up straight.
Her phone lit up, and a message coincidentally entered at this time.
It was still Su Huai.
He asked: Lin Jia, you said that your grandmother isn't here, so you didn't use an excuse to block me, right?
Lin Jia held her breath there, unable to swallow it, unable to spit it out. For a full few seconds, her expression became tense, and the strength of her fingers was so great that it seemed like she was going to crush the phone screen.
Lin Jia: Will you use the life and death of your family's elders to tell a lie?
Lin Jia: Will you use the person you respect the most to make a joke?
Lin Jia: Su Huai, you're really unreliable.
Even after sending three consecutive messages, he was still furious.
Lin Jia was so angry that she directly threw her phone out.
With a loud bang, the office's eyes were all focused on her.
"Sorry to bother you. Please continue. " Lin Jia stood up and said with a cold face, "I might need to calm down. "
"Boss, data calculation is a meticulous task, there is no rush to rush it. Everyone is here. We'll do it slowly together. We'll definitely be able to finish it before dawn. " Xiao Zhu stood up and pushed up his glasses. He looked at Lin Jiaqi's pale face with worry.
This project team, from the beginning, Lin Jia was a soul figure.
When everyone started to doubt, despair, and even wanted to give up, Lin Jia found a new direction and gave everyone the motivation to continue fighting.
Although it was still a short period of time, Lin Jia's every move had affected everyone else.
"Mm, everyone, let's go all out. I'll go buy supper to reward everyone. " At the same time, he would make a call to Su Huai and scold him until it was bloody.

Lin Jia's grandmother had a very pleasant name, Su Xinya. She was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. She had an elegant and proud temperament unique to girls from Shuxiang family. She married Lin Jia's grandfather at the age of eighteen and became a widow at the age of thirty-two. After that, she lived alone for the rest of her life.
After several decades, not many people remembered her real name.
The neighbors were used to calling her Granny Lin. Her husband's surname was Lin. She was a kind old lady who had been smiling for her whole life, and always had a smile on her face.
Of course, that was the impression left in other people's eyes.
To Lin Jia, her grandmother was old-fashioned and stubborn, and it was difficult to make sense of her. Since she was five years old, she had somehow believed that Lin Jia, who had been running around the world crazily and playing around, had inherited her family's talent. Thus, she stubbornly detained her in that ancient Jiangnan residence and spent fourteen years in boredom.
