Chapter 134: Su Mengxue agrees to attend the banquet!
When Su Mengxue was trying on clothes in front of the mirror, she accidentally noticed that the original owner had a leaf-shaped birthmark on her lower back. What was even more incredible was that she also had such a birthmark on her back. At that time, she felt that there must be some kind of connection between her and the original owner, so she came here.
She collected her thoughts and replied readily, "Yes, on my waist."
Jiang Weilong suppressed his excitement and continued to ask, "What about the jade pendant you're wearing? Who gave it to you?"
Su Mengxue thought about it. Chen Yanzhi and Jiang Weilong were both in the same circle. This jade pendant also had supernatural powers. It was also bought by Chen Yanzhi at the department store. It was better to have less trouble than more. She did not mention Chen Yanzhi and replied calmly, "I bought this."
"Did you buy this, not someone else give it to you?" A hint of unconcealable sadness flashed in Jiang Weilong's eyes.
Su Mengxue noticed something was wrong when she saw his expression. She looked at him and asked seriously, "Jiang Weilong, are you hiding something from me?"
Seeing Su Mengxue asking this, Jiang Weilong had no choice but to answer truthfully, "My parents have a friend who is also looking for their daughter who has been missing for many years. She is about your age and has a birthmark on her lower back like you. They also gave her a jade pendant around her neck when they sent her away."
"Was she sent away?" When Su Mengxue heard this, a hint of disdain immediately appeared at the corner of her lips.
Jiang Weilong knew Su Mengxue had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "You misunderstood. My Uncle Lu and Aunt Zhou are both scientific researchers. They were framed by a villain and sent to the cowshed. At that time, my Aunt Zhou had just given birth a few months ago. She couldn't bear to see the child suffer, so she sent the child to live with relatives in the countryside. When they went to pick up the child after they were rehabilitated, they found out that the child had been stolen in the middle of the night after being raised in the countryside for more than a year."
Su Mengxue then realized that she had misunderstood. Thinking about how pitiful this family was, she sighed and said, "They must have been suffering all these years."
Jiang Weilong lowered his head when he heard this. He could understand Uncle Lu and Aunt Zhou's feelings very well. At this moment, he thought of Shi Yi again.
After a moment's silence, he spoke in a low voice, "Back then, they searched almost everywhere in Jiangbei and the surrounding areas, but still found nothing. It was Aunt Zhou who suggested sending the child to a relative's house, so Aunt Zhou blamed herself very much. My parents said that she cried every day during those years and her eyes were almost blinded by crying. She suffered a lot during those years in the cowshed, and she missed her child too much, so her health has been poor.
It was not until more than ten years ago when they were looking for children in the countryside that they adopted an orphan as their daughter. Aunt Zhou's health gradually improved. However, no one could replace the daughter she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. In order to prevent her from being reminded of the past, Uncle Lu applied to his superiors to leave Jiangbei and go to Shanghai.
This time they came to Jiangbei because they had clues about their daughter, but the result was just as unsatisfactory as before."
After listening to him, Su Mengxue said sympathetically, "It's not their fault. They sent the child away because they didn't want her to suffer. Who could have foreseen something like this? It's just that the child thieves were too brazen."
Things like losing children are a common occurrence, not to mention in the backward 1980s, but even in our economically developed and high-tech modern society, with the prevalence of self-media networks, many parents who are looking for their children have been searching for more than ten or twenty years, or even longer. They have searched from black hair to white hair, and have walked through every street and alley in China, but there are still many children who cannot be found.
While Su Mengxue felt sympathy, she also felt that the child was most likely never to be found.
Jiang Weilong pulled himself out of his deep thoughts. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Su Mengxue, Uncle Lu and Aunt Zhou are going to hold a small banquet at the old house in three days. Do you want to go with me?"
Su Mengxue looked up at him and asked, "Do you suspect that I might be their lost daughter?"
Jiang Weilong replied confidently: "Yes."
Su Mengxue chuckled, then shook her head: "Just because of the birthmark on my body? Jiang Weilong, there are so many people with birthmarks on their waists, this is nothing. And you also said that she had a jade pendant on her body when she left. Doesn't that make sense?"
"The jade pendant may have been taken away by someone. It doesn't mean anything. On the contrary, the birthmark on your waist is very convincing." Jiang Weilong replied without thinking.
Su Mengxue didn't think the birthmark on her waist meant anything. Without hesitation, she replied, "Jiang Weilong, but I don't like that kind of occasion. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."
Although Su Mengxue rejected him, he knew that Su Mengxue was not a heartless person. He considered it for a moment and said, "Uncle Lu and Aunt Zhou are getting older, and the child was too young when he was lost. Now so many years have passed, maybe they wouldn't recognize him even if they met him on the street. They also know that the chances of finding the child are slim, so they are preparing to return to Shanghai after the banquet."
Jiang Weilong suddenly lost control of his emotions when he talked about this. The reason why he seldom tried to find out about Uncle Lu and Aunt Zhou's search for their child was not because he was heartless, but because he was afraid that he would think of Shi Yi and did not want to touch the sad things in his heart.
After enduring it again and again, he said, "Although they are going back, I also know that this will be a lifelong regret for them."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Mengxue with red eyes and said in a soft voice, "I have always had a strong intuition in my heart telling me that you are the daughter they have been looking for for many years. Even if you are not, I will completely give up if you go. Otherwise, I will keep thinking about this matter."
After he finished speaking, he sighed deeply. "After I knew Shiyi was gone, I often wondered if someone had been kind enough to tell the police about her situation. Wouldn't she have gotten into trouble? Nian Nian wouldn't have lost her mother. My parents and grandpa wouldn't have been so sad, and I wouldn't have been either."
He couldn't continue his words halfway through. He turned around, wiped his tears with his hands, and started the car.
It was the first time that Su Mengxue saw Jiang Weilong so sad. She felt uncomfortable and the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing. They were silent to each other all the way.
After the car stopped at the door of Zhou Ji's tailor shop, Su Mengxue looked at Jiang Weilong's back and said, "Jiang Weilong, I'll go."
Jiang Weilong was startled for a moment, then quickly turned around and asked, "Are you really willing to go?"
Su Mengxue nodded at him, but then added, "I'll go, but don't have too high expectations."
Jiang Weilong quickly revealed an extremely brilliant smile on his face, and then he stared at Su Mengxue with burning eyes and said, "Su Mengxue, you are so nice. I knew that the person I like would be good."
Su Mengxue shifted her gaze unnaturally and replied, "I should go back."
As she spoke, she went to open the car door. Just as she opened the door and prepared to get out, she heard Jiang Weilong say, "Don't you want to ask for Gu Yunting's address on the island? I'll help you."
She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Weilong in surprise, and couldn't help but raise her voice and ask: "Jiang Weilong, are you telling the truth?"
