The Perfect Hidden Marriage

Persevering in digging up old scars is a selfish act.

Su Jin knew that she really shouldn't mention Jin Hengyuan's ex-girlfriend to Jin Yuan. Come to think of it, this was also a taboo with her.

Jin Yuan mentioned it all in one stroke when she spoke just now, which shows how unwilling she is to review this period of history that would make people feel ashamed.

But she has already intervened in this matter. It would be unfair to her if she didn't find out.

Su Jin had to ask.

Not just out of curiosity, but also because she has the right to know.

The dining atmosphere became a little awkward because of her question.

After being rigid for a while.

"You know everything about the ins and outs of how Gu Lijun and Xiao Zhidong met, right?"

Jin Yuan put the wine glass on the table and ate the steak. Her frozen smile faded away, and her whole person still looked relaxed and generous.

This is a woman who is very good at sorting out her emotions.

From this sentence, it can be seen that Jin Yuan knew what happened to her in those days.

"Yes. Gu Lijun told me everything. How did Auntie know?"

Su Jin nodded and asked softly.

"Lao Bo said this when we were at the airport last night."

Jin Yuan smiled again, elegantly took a piece of beef into her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Yesterday, she finished errands in Hong Kong and was about to return to Beijing. She caught a glimpse of her with red eyes and a wronged look on her face, so she followed her. She was an experienced person, and she saw Lao Bo secretly following him nearby, but her son was not seen. She guessed that it was a verbal conflict between the young couple.

She was not a fairy, so naturally she couldn't guess what happened to the new wife and son, but as an elder, if she could help persuade them to make peace, she would definitely do it, so she started talking to her.

"Old Bo?"

Su Jin was only focused on being angry and didn't pay attention to him at all.

"It was Hengyuan who was worried about you going out alone, so he asked Lao Bo to follow him. He still had unfinished business over there - this man will be very serious when dealing with things. I also hope that your mood can be good. Calm down and talk slowly. This is the reason why he didn't chase me immediately."

As he spoke, Jin Yuan filled the soup, gave Su Jin a bowl, and then filled herself another bowl. She asked her to try it, saying that the soup was very fresh and authentic. After she took a bite, she continued. :

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking for my son.

"After listening to Lao Bo's story yesterday, I felt quite angry. In addition, the bad boy did not shirk the responsibility, but admitted that he was also involved in the matter. I would also be angry.

“I was so angry that I didn’t even want to talk to him.

"In this case, the more he pursues you, the more disgusted you may be.

“That’s why I decided not to send you back, but brought you here directly.

"In a different environment, in a different mood, we might be able to look at this situation in a different light."

She lowered her head and took a few sips of the soup, then changed the topic:

"Now, let's not talk about what happened to you before. Let's take it step by step. Now I'm just going to tell you about Gu Lijun!"

She wiped her mouth, smiled lightly, and her eyes were full of spring:

"I believe that my son should have told you that I am a very good mother, right?"

Su Jin nodded: This man really knew Jin Hengyuan very well.

Because of this, the corners of Jin Yuan's lips curled up in a particularly charming way:

"I don't deny that I really care about my son.

“Growing up, what I have instilled in my son are relatively sunny things.

“As a child, although he was naughty, his character was very positive.

"I remember that he was once interviewed and someone asked him: Who has had the greatest influence on you in your life from childhood to adulthood. Without thinking about it, he replied, it was your mother.

"Of course, what I gave him was much more than what his father gave.

"It is precisely because of this love that he is very dissatisfied with his father - angry that his father does not know how to be considerate and caring about me.

"Compared to his father, I consider myself more responsible.

"So, when Hengyuan brought Gu Lijun to me and was denied by me, he panicked. It was a normal conditioned reflex.

"Because, as my mother, I have always been on his side.

“My opposition will definitely have a huge impact on him.

"And such an act, in the eyes of Gu Lijun, will definitely be accused of being a vicious woman who beats a mandarin duck.

"She will think that I ruined her happiness and indirectly forced her to embark on a path of no return.

"I think if you only listen to one-sided words, you will think that I am an authoritarian and unreasonable mother."

Every word was spoken calmly and kindly, and Jin Yuan was very good at controlling her emotions.

She is a strong woman who controls a huge business, but she did not immediately use aggressive words to make people feel that she was wronged and aggrieved. Instead, he spoke in a tone as if he was talking about family matters.

A gentle, kind, and even slightly self-deprecating attitude is often easier for people to accept than sharp words.

"Indeed, her evaluation of you and my impression of you are completely different."

Su Jin finished the soup, put down the ceramic silver-rimmed bowl, and wiped his lips with a wet wipe:

"Hengyuan respects you so much. After so many years after the incident, Hengyuan and his father have been in such trouble, but they still have such a good relationship with you. I think there is a reason why you did this in the first place."

Because of these words, a smile bloomed as brightly as a flower on Jin Yuan's face, and a look of appreciation aroused in her eyes:

"It seems that although you are annoyed with Hengyuan, you still agree with Hengyuan's vision in your heart..."

Su Jin was startled and immediately denied it lightly:

"Those are two different things. Right now, I'm just taking it as it comes."

What a stupid boy.

If it wasn't recognition, how could she speak so smoothly.

Jin Yuan smiled happily without breaking the point. She held the crystal clear goblet between her fingers and shook the red wine while saying:

"Of course there is a reason."

Then, she sighed softly and took a sip:

"I am not that old feudal type. My own marriage was achieved by my own decision. Whether it is success or failure, it is always my own choice.

"So, I will not forcefully interfere in my children's marriage.

"Over the years, I have seen clearly that no matter how much wealth you have, it is not as important as having a close friend who will be together forever.

"Not only must you like this person, but you must also like him. Otherwise, he will inevitably go to extremes, just like Hengyuan's father and I.

"Because of wishful thinking, the marriage failed to survive..."

At the end of her speech, she let out a long sigh and drank the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

Su Jin listened quietly and felt that these words were full of bitterness.

That must have been a sad past for Jin's mother.

Thinking about the name Jin Yuan, it is also a well-known name in the hotel industry. Such a capable woman can do so well in her career, but she fails to achieve the same success in her married life. Very frustrating.

She watched Jin Yuan pour another half glass of red wine before saying:

"Do you know why I decided to divorce Hengyuan's father when he was seventeen?"

How could Su Jin know, so he could only shake his head.

"First, I'm fed up with that kind of life, where we live our own lives, not like a couple at all, and without the warmth of family at all.

“In my eyes, family life should be like this.

"We wake up together in the morning and have breakfast together. Then, if conditions permit, the woman can be a full-time wife. After kissing the man goodbye, they can go about their own business. If conditions do not permit, the two of them can go to work together and perform their duties.

“Everyone can cope with their own lunches, after all, each has its own working environment.

"Dinner, get off work together, enjoy dinner together, and play parent-child games with your children for a while; you can have social activities occasionally, but during your break, more energy should be focused on your family.

"On Saturdays and Sundays, let go of everything. The husband will accompany his wife, and she will take her children with her. They may spend a peaceful weekend at home, or go out to play together. Live life to the fullest, and you will have no regrets in life.

"My parents are such a couple. They have been in love for decades. They take care of both career and family.

"And I was raised in this kind of environment. So, what I want is such a life.

"It's a pity that after eighteen years of marriage, I tried hard to get it, but he couldn't give it to me.

"Because his heart is not with me from beginning to end."

The bright smile suddenly became extremely lonely.

Su Jin could feel the sadness that she couldn't ask for, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

At the same time, I don't understand. Why did Xiao Zhidong marry her since he couldn't give her such a life?

Just as he was about to ask, Jin Yuan went on to talk about the second reason:

"Two, I know that he has a little lover outside. This little lover is Gu Lijun."

What he wanted to say suddenly got stuck in Su Jin's throat.

She was startled and stayed there for a long time.

It turns out that the reason why Jin Yuan divorced Xiao Zhidong was because of Gu Lijun.
