"We didn't expect them to treat you like that and sell you for the bride price... We are so sorry." Su Miao apologized and looked at her with heartache.
She reached out to hold Li Xin's hand, but halfway through, she pulled it back embarrassedly.
My daughter has suffered, and I don’t know what she is thinking at this moment.
There must be resentment...
No, there must be!
After all, she is just an eighteen-year-old girl.
"Xinxin, you... have suffered. We are back now, although it may be a little late. But if you don't like that person, we will take you back. You are not alone. We promise that we will always support you in the future." Li Jiuyuan also said from the side.
Su Miao's eyes were a little moist. The couple felt so distressed when they saw Li Xin's thin appearance.
"No, no, He Beichen is a nice person and treats me very well. I am lucky to have met him." Li Xin shook her head. Although the couple apologized to her as soon as they saw her, she still defended He Beichen in her heart and didn't want them to think badly of him.
She felt that being able to travel through time and meet He Beichen was the best arrangement of fate.
Seeing her defending He Beichen like this, Su Miao felt a little relieved. At least it showed that although Li Xin was betrayed, she still met a good person.
"Xinxin, it's my fault that I didn't recognize you at the border." Su Miao said again.
When she thought about that time at the border, she clearly felt that Li Xin looked familiar, but she regretted not saying a few words to him.
If I had said a few more words at that time, maybe I could have met her earlier.
"We haven't seen each other for eighteen years. It's normal that we don't recognize each other." Li Xin shook his head and didn't care about such a small matter.
If she didn't look very much like Su Miao when she was young, let alone someone who hadn't seen her since she was a baby, it would be difficult to recognize her as she grew up at a glance, even if it meant recognizing her from childhood to adulthood.
If she hadn't recovered better now, and if she had looked so skinny when she just came out of Li Jianping's place, the twins wouldn't have associated her with Su Miao's youth.
In short, it is indeed a wonderful thing to be able to recognize it.
"Don't stand at the door anymore. Come in and sit down. Have you had lunch?" Li Xin looked at Li Jiuyuan's injured arm and moved aside to let them in.
"I've already eaten in the cafeteria. I just came here after finishing my meal." Su Jinrong explained to her with a smile.
The twins had been in contact with her for a longer time and knew her better. After seeing that Li Xin invited them to the research institute, they knew that her attitude towards her parents was still accepting.
Li Xin brought them into the hall of the research institute, asked them to sit at the table, and poured them some water.
The researchers who were eating saw them coming and couldn't help but come closer, very curious about why they came.
"Comrade Xiao Li, do you know this researcher who returned from abroad?" Du Peng also came over and asked Li Xin.
Seeing how excited they were, they seemed to want to communicate with Li Jiuyuan and his wife.
Li Jiuyuan and Su Miao smiled kindly at them, but didn't say anything at the moment. They were waiting for Li Xin to introduce them, and they seemed very reserved.
"They are my...parents." Li Xin nodded and responded generously.
Although it was just a light sentence, it stunned the couple, and then they showed surprised expressions. When they looked at each other, they held hands tightly together, and they were both very happy.
They thought that Li Xin might hate them and would not recognize them, but they did not expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
"Parents? Comrade Xiao Li, so your parents are also researchers? No wonder you are so awesome!" Du Peng was shocked, and suddenly he understood why Li Xin was so talented.
Everyone greeted each other, and the researchers saw that Li Jiuyuan and his wife were easy to get along with, so they all came forward to communicate with them.
"We just saw a drone outside." Su Miao couldn't help but talk about the drone. He was shocked when he thought about it now.
"Those were all developed by Comrade Xiao Li. Although she has only been in the institute for a short time, she has developed quite a few things. She must have inherited your talents." Du Peng turned into Xin Chui, praising Li Xin and counting in detail the good things that Li Xin had developed.
He made himself look like Li Xin's biological father.
The couple became more and more shocked the more they listened. Each of these items was extraordinary if taken individually, yet they all happened to the same person.
"Xinxin, how come you have so many ideas?" Su Miao was surprised.
Moreover, all these ideas can be put into practice. As fellow researchers, they know how difficult this is to achieve.
"When I came to the compound, I was alone at home. I was bored and started to explore on my own... He Beichen also supported me in tinkering, and I made that mini detector. It was just for fun at first, and then I joined the research institute. Researcher Du and others taught me a lot, and I also read a lot of books, and then I came up with these ideas." Li Xin thought about it and gave a more reasonable explanation.
"In short, my sister is talented, a natural scientific talent!" Su Minghao spoke bluntly from the side, with full faith in Li Xin's talent.
Although Su Jinrong didn't say anything, he nodded beside him, obviously agreeing.
But it does make sense when you put it this way. Plus, Li Xin's parents are both great researchers, so everyone present thinks so.
Li Jiuyuan and his wife were here, and the researchers wanted to discuss some foreign technologies with them. They did not hide anything and talked a lot, and even Li Xin could not help but listen carefully.
The two sides were mainly discussing professional issues. The twins didn't understand what they were saying, so they just followed them out to watch them play with the drone.
…
"The Li couple went to the research institute. I think they have probably recognized each other. Xinxin finally recognized her parents. Let's go over there later to formally meet the in-laws." As soon as He Yubo got the news, he immediately called He Beichen to the headquarters.
"?" He Beichen was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be so fast.
But when I think about it, Li Xin has never rejected her parents and two brothers, it is expected that it would happen so quickly.
"Okay." He had no objection to this, and he even dressed up simply to make himself look more energetic, and then followed He Yubo to the research institute.
The research institute is a bit lively today. First, there are the researchers who just returned from China and the group leader from the capital, then there are the commander and the group leader here. The most important thing is that these extraordinary people are a big family.
When Du Peng saw He Yubo coming, he quickly took the researcher and made room for them to talk.
"Some things are not convenient to say in the research institute. How about coming to my place, and we can have a meal together as a family and have a good chat?" After He Yubo came in and greeted them, he looked at the couple and suggested.
"One family".
These three words moved Su Miao, and he immediately nodded and agreed.
