The Perfect Hidden Marriage

138. Being a stepmother is always the most difficult thing: meeting his daughter for the first time

Su Jin wandered around the street aimlessly and bought only a bouquet of flowers - white tulips, her adoptive mother's favorite.

A taxi took her to Yucai Community.

Su Jin was surprised when he opened the door and entered the room.

"Mu Sheng, why are you back?"

Su Mu Sheng, who had never known to tidy up, was actually wiping the countertop in front of the portrait of his adoptive mother. He was looking deeply at the person in the photo. He didn't know what he was thinking. When he heard the scream, he turned around and was surprised. cried:

"Sister? Are you here too? No, why are you alone?"

He looked outside:

"Brother-in-law didn't come with you?"

"No!"

Su Jin went to find a glass vase, filled it with water, put the flowers in it, and sent it to the portrait of her adoptive mother.

"How was the talk?"

Su Musheng asked like a follower.

"No talk!"

"why?"

Su Mu Sheng blinked, puzzled.

Su Jin looked at the portrait quietly:

"I need to... think about it."

She put a stick of incense on her adoptive mother, went to get a bottle of water, and walked into the room while drinking.

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Musheng continued to chase.

This situation is just like when she was a child. What this child likes to do most is to chase her and ask for answers.

The adoptive mother often laughed when she saw it.

Now, she's still smiling, just hanging on the wall.

Su Jin didn't answer, and entered her room. She tidied the room first, and Mu Sheng helped her sensibly. Then, she pulled out a large neat bag from under the bed.

"What's this?"

Mu Sheng's attention was diverted and she watched as Su Jinzai carefully untied the rope and unfolded the outer layer of kraft paper, which was full of paintings - her paintings.

The top one was framed and contained a young man and woman.

The woman as quiet as water, with a smile like a hibiscus and extremely elegant, is the aunt in her painting; the handsome man with a bright smile, as gentle as the rising sun in the east, is Xiao Zhicheng in her painting...

Many years later, their voices, faces, and smiles seem to still be in my ears and in front of my eyes, but after all, they are no longer here.

"Sister, don't feel bad. Both my aunt and uncle Zhicheng have passed away for so many years... If you think about it this way, it was not the Xiao family who killed aunt, but that damn Fu Shichun. It was all that bastard who ruined aunt, for the first time Not only was the marriage reimbursement in his hands, but he also ruined my aunt's search for happiness..."

Su Jin sat on the ground, stroking the painting, and it seemed like time was passing by, as if it was happening again before her eyes. After so many years, the memory was not blurry, but became clearer.

A slight sigh floated out from his mouth:

"Yes, it was all Fu Shichun's fault.

“My aunt no longer wants that wrong marriage.

“I’ve always wanted to leave, but I can’t.

"At the end of the second year after I entered the Su family, my aunt started to have this idea.

"At that time, Fu Shichun was already raising people outside. But he did a very good job of keeping secrets, so no one could find out who he was raising.

“Since there are others, it’s time to let aunt go.

"But for the sake of money and the shares that his aunt gave him as a dowry, he refused to get a divorce.

"When my aunt talks about divorce with him, he wants all the shares. Do you know what that concept is?

"If we give in, it will be equivalent to giving half of the Su family to Fu Shichun.

"How could my aunt give the shares of the Su family to that prodigal son? I can only endure it.

"Later, I wanted to delay the separation for three years.

“As a result, after two years of separation, my aunt met my sincere uncle.

“Originally, my aunt didn’t have to die.

"If we had met a year later, things might have been different.

“But they just met at the wrong time and fell in love.

“Love so deeply.

"Mu Sheng, my aunt conceived a child for their Xiao family.

“The child could have been born well.

“But there were no good results.

"My aunt didn't even see the last time she loved the man...

"Tell me, whose fault is this?

"Is it really my aunt's fault?"

She smiled extremely bitterly:

"This sentence was given by the Xiao family. I still remember it."

"sister……"

Mu Sheng was frightened when she saw it:

"You are already married to your brother-in-law, and the relationship between husband and wife cannot be affected by those things.

"Besides, now, my brother-in-law's surname is Jin.

"Brother-in-law's performance is quite good...

"Uh... don't look at me like that... you haven't even given your brother-in-law a chance to explain what happened last night...

"I don't think he is a playboy..."

Su Jin pursed her lips and withdrew her lonely eyes. She accidentally fell on the paintings underneath this painting. Many of them were taught to her by her aunt.

She looked down one by one, but the one at the bottom of the box caught all her attention.

That painting is Twilight White.

Sitting on a wicker chair, he was reading a book seriously, with a smile on his lips and a happy expression.

In those days when she loved painting, Mu Sheng was her exclusive model.

She once painted countless paintings of him, but later, when he married another, she was so heartbroken that she almost destroyed all the paintings and all the memories, except for this one...

Mu Sheng took the painting in his hand and suppressed it.

"Sister, you can't chase the past.

“What we need to do is face the problems of the future, not dwell on the past.

"I can understand that you can't accept that your brother-in-law is a member of the Xiao family for a while, but don't completely reject your brother-in-law just because of this matter.

"This is irrational.

"Sister, let's do this. I'll help you wrap up these memories and hide them.

"Don't look at any of this anymore. Really!"

He helped wrap the old items in brown paper back to their original state.

"Don't you feel angry at all?"

Su Jin sat on the ground, half leaning against the bed, watching him tidy up, and asked softly:

"Still defending him like this?"

Before, his opinion of Jin Hengyuan was not generally big.

"Sister, how old was I then?

“A little over six years old!

"Besides, I'm a little naughty, and my aunt Aijing is not particularly close to me, and our relationship is shallow. Unlike you, you have much more affection for her than Mu Bai and I.

“So, my feelings are definitely not as deep as yours.

"Now, what I see is how kind my brother-in-law is to you. My brother-in-law treats you with true feelings..."

Mu Sheng stuffed the dozen old things back under the bed, turned around and said:

"I don't defend him, I just want you to calmly deal with the problems between you and your brother-in-law.

"Sister, you have to talk to him and understand his thoughts so that you can let go of the past better.

"Besides, let me tell you the truth, sometimes, sister, you are really emotional...

"Looking at things with prejudice, what you see is often a distorted reality. It cannot be counted."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was silence in the room.

"Mu Sheng, he also hid the fact that he has a daughter from me. Don't you think his deception is very bad?"

Su Jin bit his lip and asked again.

Mu Sheng was silent, yes, my sister became a stepmother inexplicably.

well……

In this matter, my brother-in-law's behavior is really unacceptable. It is inevitable that my sister will be aggrieved.

During the meal, he never mentioned this matter, and the whole dinner was amicable.

But they all know in their hearts that there are some things that are just hard to explain.

"Sister, do you think you won't want him because of this reason?"

After Su Mu Sheng thought for a long time, he asked again.

Su Jin didn't speak, lowered his head, and said after a long time:

"Being a stepmother is always the most difficult thing."

It won't work if you beat him or scold him.

That kind of relationship is the most difficult to deal with.

She has no experience and is not mentally prepared to deal with complex relationships.

Anyway, that's a lot of trouble.

After being raised at home for three days, Su Jin went to work on Wednesday. The redness and swelling on her face had almost disappeared.

The morning was very busy, and around noon, I was called in by the boss.

Qiao Dachuan was still very curious about how he got the balance back.

"Boss, just settle this matter, there's nothing more to say."

She thought about it again and again about what was on the USB flash drive, but decided not to talk about it.

The whole day was very busy and fulfilling. From time to time, colleagues from the company came to talk to her and congratulated her on clearing the suspicion.

Maybe I also want to inquire.

This matter seemed to be resolved too smoothly, which made those colleagues who loved gossip find it incredible.

She didn't want to explain anything, as long as it was solved.

After getting off work at five o'clock, Yang Jiahui came to her office and asked: "Are you going home tonight? Go back to your and Jin Hengyuan's home."

Su Jin has been living in Yucai Community for the past two days.

But yesterday, when she and Han Tong went to see them, they unexpectedly learned something from Mu Sheng: Jin Hengyuan had a villa in the suburbs of Shan County, which was exactly the one that Su Jin had renovated many years ago. They lived there a few days ago.

After knowing this, they were naturally surprised, and they also saw the difference in Jin Hengyuan's treatment of Su Jin.

They discussed it privately and agreed that Jin Hengyuan's kindness to Su Jin could not be a play or a taste of something new.

They also told Su Jin their thoughts.

Su Jin said nothing.

At this moment, Su Jin was still editing pictures, and after hearing this, he remained silent.

"Did he call today?"

Yang Jiahui had no choice but to ask in another way.

I have bought a new mobile phone, but as of today, Jin Hengyuan has not called.

This man really gave her enough time and space.

"No!"

Su Jin answered honestly.

"Hey, are you talking about having a cold war with him? This won't work..."

Yang Jiahui suddenly became anxious for her.

"Jia Hui, don't worry about my affairs. I have a sense of discretion. You should leave first. Didn't you say that your father's birthday is today? Go home early and accompany the old man! I'll be fine here." She said.

"Hey...why don't you worry about it?

"That man, do you really not want it anymore?

"Although he has hidden a lot of things from you, no matter what, he is now your husband in the spouse column. Do you know how many people are competing for him outside?

"I can't watch you foolishly give up on this man, okay..."

Hearing this, Su Jin raised his head:

"Jia Hui, that's not what you said before. At that time, you kept persuading me..."

Yang Jiahui immediately answered:

"Don't hold me back with what I said before.

"At that time, I only looked at the marriage between you and Jin Hengyuan from a general perspective: a man who is poor and doesn't know how to love you, and only cares about women outside, of course is terrible.

"But it's different now. Jin Hengyuan's conditions are really good and couldn't be better, and he treats you really well.

"Although he also did something wrong, you didn't ask clearly why he wanted to hide it from you, and what his relationship was with the woman he was hugging, right?

"I personally think you need to let go of your worries and talk to him openly and honestly...

"Yes, to put it bluntly, I am a bit advantageous, but it also depends on the situation.

"If he treats you badly, of course I support you in dumping him..."

Yang Jiahui did not deny that she was utilitarian at all, but she persuaded her earnestly:

"We must look at the world from a rational perspective!"

Su Jin nodded: "Okay, I understand your opinion. However, I really need to calm down for a few days now. When I think about it clearly, I will talk to him. Come back quickly! No. He said he would go to Christine’s place to get the cake...don’t worry about me anymore..."

"Then I'm leaving..."

After a moment, he turned around and said, "By the way, go get your car back when you have time. It's so inconvenient not to have a car..."

Her car is still on the Royal One!

"Okay, okay, I got it! Hey, why did I suddenly realize that you are more nagging than my mother... I'll call a car to drive back to Jia City in a moment."

"gone!"

Yang Jiahui smiled and waved away.

Su Jin sat in his seat, looking at the phone in a daze for a long time.

Oh, do you want to call him and make an appointment to have a talk?

*

At 5:20, Su Jin went to Royal No. 1, Jia City.

When I was driving back, I passed by a Wal-Mart supermarket. I thought the refrigerator was empty, so I parked the car and went inside.

Pushing a trolley, she picked out a lot of snacks that Mu Sheng liked to eat, as well as some ingredients.

After shopping around, I suddenly felt that going to the supermarket alone is not as interesting as two people having a discussion.

The previous scene of shopping in the supermarket with Jin Hengyuan kept flashing before his eyes.

She was not in much mood to shop, so she hastily bought some and planned to go out. She met a four or five-year-old girl wearing a light pink dress jumping and running fast. In the blink of an eye, she was in a hurry with another girl in her fifties or sixties who was in a hurry. The aunts bumped into each other.

"Ouch!"

As soon as the girl screamed, she was knocked to her feet, and blood immediately appeared on her white ankles.

"Kid, are you okay?"

She hurriedly helped her, and then she was surprised to find that what she picked was a very beautiful little girl:

Her hair is black and shiny, curly, with a cute big red headband, her little face is pointy, her skin can be broken by blowing, her eyes are big, her mouth is small, and her nose is pretty and straight. Exquisite facial features and neat bangs...especially watery.

"A little pain!"

The little girl twisted her little face, looked down and saw bleeding, her face turned pale and her little body started to tremble:

"What should I do? I...I feel dizzy..."

"It's okay, it's okay... Come on, close your eyes first... Auntie is here to bandage you. Once the bandage is done, you won't be able to see the blood..."

Su Jin's voice was soft and coaxing.

After the little girl took one look at her, she closed her eyes obediently.

Su Jin smiled, quickly picked up the little girl, and took out the band-aid from her wallet.

Because she walks around the construction site all year round and sometimes gets injured, she always keeps band-aids and disposable alcohol disinfectant pads in her bag.

Su Jin first took a sterilized cotton pad and wiped the wound, then put a band-aid on it:

"Okay, you can open your eyes...here, that's fine. It's just a minor injury, it's okay, it will be fine in two days!"

She smiled and rubbed the child's soft long hair, and saw the smile blooming from the child's crystal eyes little by little, and the little face was so bright that it could blind people's eyes.

"I didn't take good care of my children. I ran rampant... My old bones are about to fall apart... Oops, my bones must be broken. It hurts... it hurts so much..."

The middle-aged aunt also fell badly. All the things she bought in the car were scattered on the floor, and she sat there and screamed.

"Auntie, if you hadn't pushed too fast, would the two people have collided with each other? Everyone has the responsibility, why do you have to worry about a child? The baby is even injured. You are so unreasonable. Yes, what are you trying to do? Blackmail?"

Su Jin defended quietly.

"Oh, why are you like this? You can't take good care of your children, right?"

The aunt immediately raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes.

"She is not my child. I just can't bear to see you bullying children."

Su Jin said calmly.

The aunt was startled.

The little girl nodded, and Kuishengsheng responded: "Yes, she is not my mother, I don't have a mother. My mother has gone to heaven!"

This statement shocked the aunt.

Su Jin was also stunned and couldn't help but take a closer look: Is this child a motherless baby?

"Forget it, forget it, I'm in trouble."

The aunt curled her lips, supported her painful waist, finally stood up, and picked up things from the ground.

Since she didn't pursue the matter anymore, Su Jin didn't say much and kindly helped pick it up.

Seeing this, the little girl endured the pain and came to help. After picking it up, she gave a soft cry:

"Grandma, I'm sorry. I will definitely not run around in the future. I was also in a hurry, and I got separated from my dad just as we were walking..."

The pitiful look of blinking eyes is so pitiful.

The anger in the aunt's heart also disappeared:

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you anymore, go find your dad quickly! If you really can't find it, just go to the supermarket management and broadcast it... You won't lose it."

Just push something and leave!

Su Jin stood there and looked at the little girl: "How much is your dad's phone number? How about I call you to get in touch?"

"That's it...hehe, no need...my dad is here...Daddy..."

The little girl happily pushed Su Jin away, limped and ran towards the opposite side of Su Jin's back.

"Why did he become a minor injury in the blink of an eye?"

A warm and familiar male voice came from behind.

"I accidentally dropped it. This aunt wrapped it for me. It doesn't hurt much now! Dad, don't worry..."

The little girl said very thoughtfully.

Su Jin turned around slowly, and as expected she saw a tall man in a white shirt holding a cute little girl, looking at him deeply.

Oh, this world is really too small.

The person standing in front of him was not Jin Hengyuan.

And the first meeting between her and his daughter was so dramatic.
