BXBX NOVEL Chapter 764
Zhang De suddenly felt awkward. Of course, Su Jin could come. Her mother was here after all. Su Jin had every right to visit her mother, but they just couldn’t acknowledge each other yet everything had been resolved. Acknowledging each other now would only harm Su Jin.
Zhang De smiled awkwardly and said, “Of course not.”
“Come with me.”
Su Jin didn’t waste any time and just followed Zhang De in. She couldn’t understand why her mother must hide at Zhang De’s house. No matter how she looked at it, wouldn’t she be safer with her at Xi Chenxiao’s house? Whoever or whatever she’s hiding from, shouldn’t she be by her daughter’s side?
Su Jin saw her mother the moment they went into the house. She held her mother’s hands and said, “Mom, you still don’t remember me?”
Heartache flashed briefly in Su Jin’s mother’s eyes. She couldn’t let it show as now wasn’t the time to acknowledge her daughter. She almost cost Su Jin her life the last time, so she must not acknowledge Su Jin now. She should never let that person know of her existence, or it would be disastrous. That person would never let them off.
Su Jin’s mother replied, “I remember.”
Su Jin was elated when she heard this. Her mother had remembered her! She knew that her mother would never forget her. Like that saying about women being the weaker sex until they became mothers. How could a mother who loved her daughter so much forget her own daughter?
Su Jin was agitated as she held her mother’s hands and said, “I knew it. Mom will never forget me.”
Su Jin’s mother almost wavered, but she steeled her heart against it and persevered. Su Jin was doing well now, so she couldn’t drag her into this quagmire again or all three of them would be doomed. Su Jin’s mother had already made a mistake once, she wouldn’t make another mistake and let Su Jin suffer with her.
She held Su Jin’s hands and said with a smile, “I remember you. You are Zhang De’s classmate, and you came to our house for dinner last time.”
Su Jin almost fainted when she heard this. Did her mother still not want to acknowledge her? Zhang De, who was standing at the side, could not bear it either, but there was nothing he could do. His mother did this to protect everyone. There was no other way. His mother had said before that the other person was just too powerful.
Su Jin replied with a sad face, “Mom, how can you forget me?”
Zhang De couldn’t take it anymore and went forward to help Su Jin up. He wanted to tell Su Jin that she’s his sister but when he saw his mother’s determined gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to say it. He also didn’t know how to console Su Jin. After all, if Zhang De was in Su Jin’s shoes, he might not have done as well as Su Jin. He might have already gone crazy.
Su Jin’s mother also couldn’t bear it, but Su Jin hadn’t yet acquired the credentials she asked of her. Acknowledging Su Jin now would just put her in harm’s way. But Su Jin looked really pitiful now and this made her heart ache. To console Su Jin, Su Jin’s mother said with a gentle smile, “Sweetheart, I may look like your mom but I’m really not.”
“But if you’d like to, you can tell me what’s making you sad.”
Su Jin looked up at her mother. She just couldn’t figure out why her mother refused to acknowledge her. Su Jin’s at her wits’ end but she came here with an important matter. She figured that her mother might stop feigning insanity once she heard about it, so Su Jin looked at her mother seriously and said, “Mom, the president has found his daughter.”
“And that girl looks exactly like me.”
Su Jin’s mother was extremely shocked when she heard this. How was this possible? She only gave birth to two children back then, a boy and a girl. It’s impossible that there’s another child who looked exactly like Su Jin unless someone deliberately set it up. However, not many people knew about this. Even if that person knew, he wouldn’t do such a thing.
Su Jin saw the shock in her mother’s eyes and was even more certain that this woman was her mother. She wouldn’t have such a reaction otherwise. Zhang De was also very shocked when he heard this. If this was true, didn’t it mean that Su Jin was in grave danger? The person who looked exactly like Su Jin would try any means to wipe Su Jin off the face of the earth.
Zhang De looked at his mother and said, “Mom, stop acting. Things are no longer as we thought.”
Su Jin’s mother nodded. Things have turned out beyond her expectations. There’s now another person who looked exactly like Su Jin, and she and the president had even acknowledged each other as father and daughter. This put Su Jin in even greater danger. Instead of continuing down this path, it’s better to find a way to investigate this thoroughly. As for that person, he would find his way to this place sooner or later.
Su Jin’s mother looked at Su Jin and asked sternly, “Su Jin, are you sure?”
