The Perfect Hidden Marriage

Jin Hengyuan sighed lightly and nodded lightly:

"Yes."

The tone of this statement was affirmative.

Because not long ago, he had heard his father talk about it, and now thinking about the strange coincidence between them, he couldn't help but sigh for a while:

"It's just that when my father first married my mother, he didn't have much emotion, and that's true.

"After all, my father grew up in China and is relatively conservative, while my mother is an overseas Chinese who grew up in the UK. The two of us are different in every aspect.

"My father is sophisticated and follows the rules; my mother is passionate and unrestrained, yearning for freedom. She is accustomed to the Western style and does not like to be restrained by others.

"Because when I was playing in Hong Kong, I was teased by someone, and it happened that my father helped me. She recognized my father and became Mrs. Xiao.

"She was a confident person and thought she could impress my father. After a few years of marriage, she tried hard to accommodate him and run the small family well.

"Later, I discovered that my father could not remember his old relationship, and my mother's heart gradually grew cold. She no longer stayed at home as a full-time housewife, and became the person in charge of a hotel chain.

"Due to being busy, the relationship between husband and wife has become more and more indifferent.

"Aunt Zongjie was buried in Baiyang Village when she passed away. There was no portrait. My father painted many portraits out of longing for him. In the third year after marriage, my mother discovered those portraits, and the couple had a big quarrel because of those paintings. So, In 1996, she discovered that her father still kept old photos of his late wife, and she became jealous and out of control.

"My father said: He was afraid that his mother would be angry when she saw Aunt Zongjie's photos, so he didn't dare to let Jingxun see the photos he had hidden.

“He believes that hiding photos is not about old feelings that will never be forgotten, but just a kind of commemoration.

"He wanted to give that photo to Jingxun if he could.

"In the end, my mother tore it up and burned it to ashes. The only one was gone. He was so angry that he did something. Later he regretted it very much.

"As a son, I hope that my parents can love each other and get along well, not to mention having such a young sister.

“So, I put a lot of thought into that marriage and wanted to help them maintain it.

"Because of my persuasion, my mother calmly reflected on her extreme behavior. In the following months, their relationship eased.

"But later, she still insisted on getting a divorce.

"Six years ago, when I brought Gu Lijun to my mother, my mother opposed it with all her strength and her attitude was very radical. I didn't understand and asked: Why? What do you think my mother said?"

He picked a flower from the flower bed, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

She didn't ask, just watched quietly and listened to what he said:

"She said that Gu Lijun looks just like your Aunt Zongjie. The reason your dad and I can't go on is because your Aunt Zongjie is still stuck among us even after she died. Now, you come here and tell me: You want to marry such a woman. Do you want to disgust me for the rest of my life? OK, if you marry, I can only sever the mother-son relationship with you.

“My mother has been strong all her life and can do everything well.

"She got her diploma as a postdoctoral fellow; she ran the hotel as well as men; she raised a son that made her proud, but her first marriage was a complete failure. Eighteen years of youth cannot be exchanged for a man's sincere treatment. .This is a fatal pain with her.

"I think my mother is making a fuss out of a molehill. What does it matter if she looks similar? This reason is too far-fetched.

"At that time, I didn't know there was something hidden underneath, and I wanted to adjust the relationship between the two women, but my mother was completely unwilling to compromise. Her disapproving attitude was something that I have never seen in my twenty-six years. Never encountered it.

“It was also at that time that I discovered for the first time how difficult it is for a man to be caught between his mother and his future wife.

"After failing to meet her parents, Gu Lijun tried to argue with my mother several times. But I stopped her every time.

"In order to appease her, I promised to register the marriage first."

When he said this, he stared straight at Su Jin, fearing that she would be angry because of this incident. Fortunately, her expression was very, very calm. Then, his tone took a big turn:

"But on the day of the appointment, I didn't go."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin asked lightly and curiously:

"Why didn't you go?"

She really wanted to hear what he was thinking at that time.

If, at that time, he cared enough and showed up on time, he and Gu Lijun would definitely get married, and there would be nothing wrong with her!

That was a big turning point for him.

Because of his broken promise, many things happened in another direction.

Jin Hengyuan smiled faintly, his eyes flickered, and walked towards the pond: "Gu Lijun told you: Mother called me away. Because one of my mentors had a serious accident, and a lawyer was urgently needed. The situation was urgent at that time. , I had to call her and tell her to postpone the day."

Su Jin knew that if something very important hadn't happened, he would definitely not break the promise, and that was indeed the case.

"In my opinion, life and death are big things, and everything else is small. Looking back, it's not a particularly serious matter, it's just a matter of a day or two. Making things convenient for others is making things convenient for yourself. That teacher and my teacher The friendship is not shallow. I can't ignore it.

"She was angry and thought that I didn't pay enough attention to her and that I was deliberately fooling her. She had a big fight with me on the phone. Then she didn't answer my calls for two days. On the third day, when I came back from outside, I found out something happened to her..."

There was a beautiful corridor beside the pond. Jin Hengyuan grabbed a handful of bait and threw it on the surface of the pond, immediately attracting countless colorful fish.

"You know what happened next...it's almost the same as what Gu Lijun said..."

He looked down at the bait in the bait bowl:

"What I would like to add is that after Gu Lijun was forced to marry my father, she suffered from postpartum depression and extremely bad mental state. She wanted to commit suicide several times, but she was rescued.

"My father kept this secret secret. He didn't let me know about her at all.

"No one in the family, whether it's grandparents or other uncles and aunts, recognizes Gu Lijun as the Xiao family's wife.

“My dad doesn’t plan to have a wedding, and you can figure out why.

"Because of Gu Lijun's illness, Gu Yuehua contacted me several times, hoping that I would go see her.

“I was determined not to go.

"First of all, I know some truth. This pair of siblings has made me feel disheartened, and there is no trace of the old love left.

"Secondly, my mother insisted on divorce in 1997 because she knew that my father was raising 'Gu Lijun' outside the home.

"This kind of support, in the eyes of my mother, is support; in the eyes of my father, it is support. There are differences in their understanding of this matter. It is also because there is a serious problem with the trust between the couple.

"No matter what, she was the trigger of the divorce, that's a fact. I really shouldn't have anything to do with her and hurt my mother's heart again.

"Thirdly, I just hope to use my cruelty and ruthlessness to extinguish her thoughts.

"Not seeing you is also an attitude.

“If she figures it out and understands, I’ve let it go.

"If she can't figure it out, she will only be sad when she sees it. It's meaningless.

"After all, in that situation, it is impossible for me to take any further action. The only thing I can do is not to fight with her son for my father's inheritance rights in the future.

"It's the only thing that can make it up to her."

The second handful of bait was thrown down.

In the pond, a group of fish were fighting happily, and there was a splash of water. Other than that, the surroundings were quiet.

Su Jin listened quietly and asked after a while: "Have you... ever loved her?"

It seems like you shouldn't ask.

But she was really curious.

"Perhaps I like it. In my lonely life, there is a cheeky girl who won't run away after being scolded. She carefully pleases you and treats you with heart. As time goes by, I feel that she is not bad. We naturally came together. As time went by, my family urged me to get married, and I thought, let’s get married... everyone has to get married, right?"

Jin Hengyuan smiled lightly: "Now that I think about it, it's really stupid."

"Why do you feel stupid?"

Su Jin asked again gently.

Jin Hengyuan stared at it: "You shouldn't give in. That is irresponsible to yourself. It is also irresponsible to others."

Su Jin chewed: These words are thought-provoking!

"I can let go because I finally see my heart clearly. Life is a process of continuous maturation. From a child to an adult, the mind will grow through continuous learning, and the feelings will also change from ignorance to confusion. Transformed in a confused state. I may have liked Gu Lijun for a while, but that was not love."

From the beginning, what made his heart beat was the girl in front of him.

But at that time, she didn't belong to him.

Su Jin felt a little embarrassed when he saw him. The password prompt on the computer flashed in his mind, and he wanted to ask about the photo:

That thing is really, really weird.
