The Perfect Hidden Marriage

216. Deep in the garden, she listened to him telling stories about the past (revealing the past)

His hand was holding on tightly, as if he was afraid that she would escape.

Su Jin couldn't get away at all. He raised his head and saw that although Jin Yuan was busy, her eyes were looking at them again and again, obviously concerned about their status.

At noon, they were eating outside, and Jin Yuan kept trying to smooth things over for them, hoping of course that they would reconcile.

In fact, now she still wants to continue to be angry with him, but how can she get angry with him again?

Well, it’s time to talk!

She said nothing and let him lead her out.

Jin Yuan watched the cute pair of children holding hands and going out, with a smile on her lips.

She could see that although Su Jin didn't want to talk to Hengyuan, her anger had dissipated a lot. As for Hengyuan, he deliberately kept a low profile and stuck to it... I believe that as long as the two of them have a good talk, they will be able to get along well. Can be reconciled as before.

However, now he thought of how when he was a child, the boy saw the little girl running away, and then looked at the situation now, and couldn't help but smile.

The ancients said: One thing brings another down, and it is true.

Deep in the garden, the feeling of spring is strong.

There are green shady bushes everywhere, the sound of warblers and birds is unheard, the flower paths lead to secluded places, and refreshing wind blows. It looks particularly beautiful on such a cloudy afternoon.

You can let it go!

Su Jin asked gently.

The palms of his hands were getting sweaty from his pinching. In May, the weather was getting hotter.

It's okay to let go, but you have to listen to me carefully.

Jin Hengyuan bowed his head.

Okay. I'll listen.

Su Jin agreed.

It would be irrational not to listen.

That day, she was very irrational.

When people are angry, they will lose self-control, which is human nature - otherwise, why would there be such a saying, what you say when you are angry cannot be counted.

When you are angry, you will say angry words and be more likely to lose your rationality.

Therefore, if you speak truthfully and speak calmly, the effect will be better.

keep your word?

certainly!

Only then did he let go.

The two people walked forward slowly.

Jin Hengyuan put his hands in his pockets and glanced at her from time to time, observing the changes in her expression and thinking about where to start.

As for the matter between Gu Lijun and me, I should have told you a long time ago, but I never did because it is really unspeakable.

He spoke with helpless mockery in his tone.

Su Jin listened, stood calmly in his position, and thought about it: She had known him for less than two months, and both their marriage and personality were in the running-in period.

On this basis, if he told her these things, she would definitely be shocked.

Considering his new marriage, it was understandable that he would not talk about these embarrassing past events.

After all, who would be willing to cut a knife on his own wound and let it bleed again, while also leaving an extremely bad impression on his newlywed wife!

Only a fool would do this.

Everyone has the instinct of self-preservation.

Therefore, she can still understand this matter.

Jin Hengyuan pondered for a while and began to tell:

Gu Lijun, she was originally the child of my father's friend.

Her parents: Gu Yuan, Wan Wan, my father, and Aunt Zong Jie, they met when they were sent to the countryside. Aunt Zong Jie also became good friends with Wan Wan.

“The reason is that these two people, who are completely unrelated, look at least 90% similar.

If they wear the same clothes and don't speak, others won't be able to tell who they are? Just like identical twins.

Su Jin was extremely surprised by these words: The world is truly so big and full of wonders!

By the way, I forgot to tell you who Aunt Zong Jie is!

Jin Hengyuan explained emphatically.

Su Jin had already vaguely guessed it.

She is my father's deceased wife. She is the biological mother of my eldest brother Xiao Jingxun.

Sure enough.

When he said this, he paused, looked at her seriously and said:

“This is a long, long story, and if you want to figure out the cause and effect of everything, you have to start from the beginning.

Zong Jie is one of the very important characters. Although she has passed away, her influence will always be there.

indeed.

Because that godlike face was passed down from Wan Wan’s daughter.

Su Jin thought about it and sighed softly.

Jin Hengyuan, pacing slowly, spoke slowly.

Speaking of Zong Jie, there is one person who must be mentioned. That person's name is Lin Yun. She is Zong Jie's mother, and she was best friends with my grandmother.

This was a talented girl from a well-known family. When she was young, she fell in love with a gangster named Zong Lin and eloped. Later, Zong Lin offended someone and went out to seek refuge and never returned. Lin Yun raised her daughter alone until she was seven years old, and she became seriously ill. , before her death, she failed to bring Zong Lin back. In the end, she could only entrust her daughter Zong Jie to my grandmother. Therefore, Aunt Zong Jie and my father were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Su Jin suddenly realized.

She had wondered before, how could a relationship keep Xiao Zhidong in mind for so many years?

It turns out that the woman who first walked into that man's life was his childhood sweetheart who had been involved in his life since childhood.

The relationship between a man and a woman who has evolved from childhood sweethearts to a husband and wife has the strongest emotional foundation, so it is also the most unforgettable.

This is understandable.

However, she was confused again:

If that's the case, then why did Auntie say: Your father once loved her but couldn't get it?

Jin Hengyuan was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask such a question. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and asked:

What did mom tell you?

Not too much. What you said is exactly what she hasn't said since I asked her.

She briefly mentioned what Jin Yuan said yesterday.

Jin Hengyuan listened and nodded:

Mom is right. The marriage between my father and Aunt Zong Jie was not satisfactory, and even ended in tragedy. This has to be said slowly...

He affirmed and then spoke slowly.

…

The 1960s and 1970s of the last century were a relatively complicated era.

Zong Jie and Xiao Zhidong came from that era.

Thanks to being raised in the Xiao family, Zong Jie read a lot of books.

Books can nourish people, which made Zong Jie’s talent and temperament possible.

She is a well-behaved and sensible girl since she was a child, she is extremely sensitive and very strong. She is a beautiful woman, and she exudes the air of a lady.

In Xiao Zhidong's opinion, Zong Jie is quiet and charming from head to toe, and even her smile is peaceful.

But this does not mean that she is a good-tempered and docile girl. On the contrary, she is quite stubborn and has extremely strong self-esteem.

Xiao Zhidong is the same age as Zong Jie. As the eldest son in the family, he has been very mature at home since he was a child. He takes very good care of his younger sister. Everyone could see that he particularly liked this smart and elegant little girl.

But because Zongjie was adopted, she felt like she would always be inferior and waiting in this family.

In particular, Xiao Zhinan, the second daughter of the Xiao family, always loves to confront her.

Because Xiao Zhinan is younger than Zong Jie, as a foreign sister, Zong Jie will always give in to the children of her adoptive parents, and it is inevitable that she will be wronged sometimes.

Xiao Zhinan has a fanatical admiration for his eldest brother and always loves to cling to him, while Xiao Zhidong loves to chase Zong Jie. This made Xiao Zhinan dislike Zong Jie even more. Children...all have that kind of mentality.

Zong Jie was afraid that Xiao Zhinan would cause trouble for her, so she always kept a certain distance from Xiao Zhidong.

In 1971, when they were seventeen years old, Xiao Zhidong and Zong Jie responded to the country's call and educated young people went to the countryside. They went to Baiyang Village in a county in the northwest to receive re-education from middle peasants.

It was there that they recognized Gu Yuan and Wan Wan.

Because they are both from Beijing, because their local accents are friendly, and because Zong Jie and Wan Wan have exactly the same faces, the relationship between the four young people is particularly good.

In a ruined temple in Baiyang Village, there lived a young scholar who was covered in pudding and was often pulled out for criticism.

When being criticized, this person is often thrown around until he is covered in filth, looking like a human being or a ghost. After the criticism is over, he will wash himself in the pond and reveal his handsome appearance, with dimples when he smiles.

This person's name is Bai Jianfei, who was once a professor at a certain university. It is said that he was born in a bureaucratic family, and his ancestors have been officials for generations. During the Kuomintang period, the Bai family was a family of senior military officers. Later he became an officer in the People's Liberation Army. Finally, because of the Cultural Revolution, he was labeled as a counterrevolutionary and was paraded through the streets all day long.

However, he has an optimistic spirit and has not lost his wits because of these mental tortures all day long.

After being decentralized for three years, Zong Jie fell in love with this counter-revolutionary with a strong will little by little because of his enthusiasm for knowledge.
