The Perfect Hidden Marriage

219. Love fails and marriage fails because of screwing up (revealing the past)

Bai Jianfei is definitely a knowledgeable person. He can speak English, French, and Japanese. He is more proficient in Chinese studies, but he does not have the sourness of a nerd. His biggest hobby is to find all kinds of books to read.

At that time, only books could relieve him from mental pain.

At that time, he liked to use the sand table as a teaching board to teach the things that had already taken root in his mind to those who were open-minded and eager to learn.

Zong Jie liked to learn from him very much.

In three years, she learned English and French.

Sometimes, when she was with Bai Jianfei, she often talked to him in French. Talk about things that interest them without worrying about getting into trouble if someone overhears them.

Xiao Zhidong became interested in these two languages ​​because of Zong Jie, and in order to get closer to her, he also learned them together.

However, his focus was not on this. This person was only interested in architecture, so at that time, he was worse than Zong Jie.

Bai Jianfei is an incredible talent. If he were placed in contemporary times, he would surely be famous all over the world. Unfortunately, it happened at the wrong time.

Xiao Zhidong definitely recognized this person's talent, but he didn't like Zong Jie's enthusiasm for this person.

Out of a man's sense of crisis, he felt that Zong Jie might make a principled mistake if things continued like this, and he felt that he had to prevent her from making mistakes.

So, he wrote a worried letter to his father, hoping to leave here as soon as possible, and preferably get a recommendation to attend the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University - Zong Jie was so eager to study, and he felt that Bai Jianfei's erudition attracted her.

Soon after, Xiao Zhidong received a notice that he could go to Shanghai to study at university.

Unexpectedly, Zong Jie refused to go.

She said she wanted to stay with Bai Jianfei because she had fallen deeply in love with the man who was more than ten years older than her.

Even if he stayed in the Northwest and lived a hard life, he would not accept this recommendation and go back to be an intellectual.

Xiao Zhidong was extremely angry and didn't understand. What kind of ecstasy soup did that man give her to make her so fascinated that she didn't even want to have a home or go to school?

She talked to Zong Jie several times and did some work, but she just decided that this man would never leave again.

Just when Xiao Zhidong was at a loss what to do, a woman came to Bai Jianfei with a child in her arms. Zong Jie was shocked to know that Bai Jianfei actually had a wife and children.

Zong Jie, who was deceived and heartbroken, finally followed Xiao Zhidong to Shanghai and began to receive higher education.

In the autumn of 1974, Gu Yuan and Wan Wan were also recommended to come to Shanghai and entered institutions of higher learning. The four of them got together again.

At the end of the same year, Zong Jie married Xiao Zhidong.

The reason is: Zong Jie was drunk, became married to Xiao Zhidong, and became pregnant.

In that era, it was a shame to get pregnant before marriage. After Xiao Zhidong was severely beaten by his father, the two people held a simple wedding in a hurry. After marriage, the two continued to study. Not long after getting married, the child was aborted.

In 1977, the year when the national college entrance examination was resumed, Xiao Zhidong became a construction engineer and entered a key national department as soon as he graduated. He established an inextricable relationship with architecture and began his different and beautiful life. .

In June of the same year, Zong Jie gave birth to a son, named Xiao Jingxun. After the child turned 100 days old, Mrs. Xiao took care of her while Zong Jie continued her graduate studies.

In 1978, Xiao Zhidong's career was booming, but on the contrary, his married life was undergoing a dramatic change.

After Wan Wan graduated from college and left school, she and Zong Jie each had a separate world of their own, and the two kept in touch by writing letters.

In October of this year, Zong Jie received a letter from Wan Wan.

Wan Wan told Zong Jie in a very sad statement: the so-called Bai Jianfei's wife and children are all fake, and all of this is a play put on by Xiao Zhidong to let her go to Shanghai to study. . Bai Jianfei agreed to deceive Zong Jie in order for her to have a better future.

In her letter, she strongly rebuked Xiao Zhidong for using Xiao's father's influence to steal love, which was despicable and shameless.

And also delivered a shocking news to her: Bai Jianfei had been hit on the head by a heavy object during a flood rescue operation, which had damaged his brain nerves and turned him into a fool.

After learning the "truth", Zong Jie was deeply shocked and miserable, and had a big quarrel with Xiao Zhidong.

Although Xiao Zhidong repeatedly explained to her that it was not his instruction, that he had no knowledge of it, and that he was wronged, she just didn't believe it. She was so angry that she left after destroying all the photos about her and the Xiao family. .

She said she was going to take care of Bai Jianfei.

Because, from beginning to end, she only loved Bai Jianfei.

But at that time she was already pregnant with her second child.

She told Xiao Zhidong: After the child is born, she will send him back to the Xiao family, but she must divorce this marriage.

Xiao Zhidong couldn't stop her.

Besides, in Baiyang Village, the once graceful Bai Jianfei has become unrecognizable to everyone.

After Zong Jie went there, he miraculously recognized who she was.

In this way, she took care of this man who was regarded as a fool.

In December of the same year, Zong Jie recognized his biological father, Zong Lin.

More than 20 years ago, Zong Lin, who fled to seek refuge, smuggled to Hong Kong. After that, he started from scratch and founded Zong's real estate. Because he missed his wife, he never married. He also sent people to the mainland to search for his wife and children, but it was in vain. He thought that it would be difficult for his relatives to be reunited in this life, but he didn't want to meet his daughter, who was only a toddler when he fled, when he was terminally ill.

He passed away with a smile on his face after spending many days with his daughter.

Before his death, he transferred the name of the real estate company to Xiao Zhidong and Zong Jie.

In 1979, when the country comprehensively implemented reform and opening up, Xiao Zhidong put down his superior position in the state unit and went to Hong Kong to manage the Zong family's real estate for Zong Jie.

As for Zong Jie, she continues to stay in Baiyang Village. She has no interest in the so-called company.

In April 1979, Bai Jianfei passed away due to a landslide. When Zong Jie heard the news, it was difficult to give birth, and neither the adult nor the child could be saved.

His last message: After his death, he will be buried with Bai Jianfei in Baiyang Village.

Xiao Zhidong endured the pain and used busy work to relieve the pain of losing his wife.

At the end of 1979, Zong's Real Estate encountered problems due to an investment. The entire company faced a serious economic crisis and could go bankrupt anytime and anywhere.

During the Spring Festival of 1980, Jin Yuan returned to China with her parents. She met Xiao Zhidong in Hong Kong and fell in love with him at first sight. After learning about his difficulties, she expressed her willingness to help him overcome the difficulties. The condition is that she will be his wife.

Jin Yuan is a new-age woman with a Western education. She is enthusiastic, sunny and full of confidence. Mrs. Xiao values ​​​​this girl very much. However, Xiao Zhidong has long been disillusioned with marriage and has no intention of remarrying, but in order to keep the Zong family Real estate, in order to realize his dream of construction, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed to the marriage.

Because of the capital injection from the Jin family, the Zong family crisis was resolved.

In 1981, Xiao Jingheng was born.

…

“It’s just that the relationship between my mother and my father has never been good.

“My father always kept himself busy with work and had no time for anything.

"Of course, his busy work is also effective. This has gradually made him a leader in the field of real estate.

“Not only did I use the spring breeze of reform to start a real estate business in China, but I also used my mother’s connections to expand my business to the UK.

“In 1985, Zong Real Estate was renamed Xiao Group Real Estate.

"...

“Later I found out that my father had always been obsessed with his deceased wife.

"Because he misses me so much, he spends more time on Jingxun than on me.

"My eldest brother has been frail since he was young, which makes him even more worried. Every time he calls home, he always talks to me only a few words, but when he talks to my eldest brother, he can get through it in half an hour.

"My mother had several disagreements with my father over this.

"The relationship between the two became weaker and weaker. Later, they simply stopped interfering in each other's lives and began to live in separate places."

Speaking of this, Jin Hengyuan twitched the corners of his lips:

"In the spring of 1993, my sister was born.

"In my mother's words, at that time, she and her father had been living without husband and wife for several years. Each of them had their own busy schedules. Because of a banquet, they met in England, and the couple reunited after a long separation, actually at the Jin family's manor. Stayed for three days.

"It was those three days that gave birth to my sister. The situation of husband and wife not caring about each other was also broken.

"When my mother was pregnant with Jinghuan, the couple's relationship entered a rare period of harmony. My father knew how to find time to spend with my mother. We could often see smiles on their faces.

"In the next two years, I can see that my father is trying very hard to return to the family. The atmosphere at home is relatively warm. Just because of their work, it is impossible to be together every day like an ordinary couple. .

"Because of their busy schedules, they rarely get together. And relationships require time to be carefully managed. After both husband and wife focus on their different fields, the time they can get together is really pitiful.

"In 1996, my mother tore up the only photo of Zong Jie that my father had secretly kept during his lifetime. In a fit of rage, my father slapped my mother in the face. The relationship between the two deteriorated again.

"At the end of 1997, when Jing Huan was five years old and I was seventeen, my mother officially filed for divorce from my father. She didn't want any of my father's property, and the two children could also belong to the Xiao family. She only wanted the hotel owned by the Jin family , thus split from the Xiao Group and completely severed ties with the Xiao Group.

"My father tried to save the marriage. He not only encouraged me to lobby to change my mother's mind, but also asked Jing Huan to beg her, but my mother firmly disagreed. After eighteen years of marriage, the two of us broke up peacefully."

A faint breeze, with the smell of sunshine, blew through the shade of the trees, and also blew away the sigh from Jin Hengyuan's mouth.

Su Jin also felt sorry for it.

In the eyes of the world, Xiao Zhidong and Jin Yuan should be regarded as a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, for eighteen years, they could not get rid of Xiao Zhidong's feeling of not being able to get his late wife.

This is truly a man who has gone to the extreme in his relationships.

After thinking about this, she suddenly said softly:

"Maybe your dad loved your mom."
