After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 315 - The Pocket Watch is Lost 1
Chapter 315 -315 The Pocket Watch is Lost 1
The day before Jiang Mianmian’s birthday, while she was taking a bath at night, she removed the pocket watch and placed it in her dirty clothes to prevent it from getting wet.
After her bath, she didn’t notice the pocket watch had fallen to the ground as she carried her dirty clothes back to her room.
The next morning, when she was getting ready to go to school and wanted to check the time, she reached into her pocket but found it empty, and panic immediately set in.
Since Yu Cheng had given her the pocket watch, she had treasured it and worn it every day.
She thought back carefully and considered that it might have been left in the bathhouse the day before, so she hurriedly went to look there, but the bathhouse was empty.
She then meticulously searched the yard, turning over every leaf, but still found nothing.
Jiang Changhai saw her with a furrowed brow, wandering back and forth in the yard and inside the house and immediately asked with concern, “Daughter, what are you looking for? Have you lost something?”
“Dad, my pocket watch is gone,” Jiang Mianmian said, very anxious.
“The pocket watch is lost? When did you lose it? Do you remember the last time you saw it?” Jiang Changhai also asked, somewhat nervously.
That watch Yu Cheng gave his daughter was worth several hundred yuan.
Although he had been earning quite a bit of money lately, several hundred yuan was not a small sum; if it was truly lost, he would be distressed too.
“I placed it on my dirty clothes while bathing yesterday, and I just looked around several times but couldn’t find it.”
“As long as it’s lost in our house, it’s definitely not gone for good; just wait a moment.”
Having said this, Jiang Changhai stood in the yard and called out, “Laosan and Laosan, call your wives and children out; I have something to say.”

Everybody in the Jiang family was washing up early in the morning. Hearing Jiang Changhai saying there was a matter, they all came out curiously.
“Changhai, what are you yelling about so early in the morning?” Zhang Guihua came out of the house and asked unhappily.
“Mom, Mianmian lost her pocket watch while taking a bath yesterday,” Jiang Changhai explained.
After explaining to his mother, Jiang Changhai looked at the Jiang family members and asked, “Did anyone see the pocket watch yesterday?”
“We didn’t pick it up,” Jiang Changhe and Zhao Xiaojuan both shook their heads, saying they didn’t even know what the pocket watch looked like.
Several girls and two boys also shook their heads; they had never even seen a wristwatch, let alone a pocket watch.
Sun Lixia sneered, “We didn’t even know San Ya had a pocket watch.”
Zhang Guihua was even more astonished and questioned, “Eldest, where did San Ya get that watch from? Isn’t that thing expensive? Aren’t you the ones carelessly spending money, buying it for her?”
“It wasn’t me who bought it, Mom. The pocket watch was a gift from Yu Cheng to Mianmian. That watch is worth a lot, several hundred indeed,” Jiang Changhai said.
“What? Several hundred? Has that boy Yu Cheng gone mad? Have you all gone mad? You dared to let a child wear a watch that costs several hundred yuan, it seems you all had your minds clouded by fat. Now it’s lost, right? That’s more than a year’s worth of your salary!”
Upon hearing that Jiang Mianmian had lost a pocket watch worth several hundred yuan, Zhang Guihua’s expression was one of deep distress.
If she had known earlier that Mianmian had such an expensive watch, she would have taken it to keep as an heirloom for the Jiang Family, no matter what.
This eldest branch of the family was really too wasteful!
Meanwhile, Jiang Changhai had been paying close attention to his family’s expressions since earlier on. After learning about the pocket watch’s price, they were all shocked, but no one showed a guilty expression.
But since there had been no outsiders in the house from last night until this morning, it must have been picked up by someone in the family!
