Su Jieyu was walking on the way home, absent-mindedly, with unsteady steps and legs so weak that it seemed as if she would fall to the ground at any second.
Even though some time had passed, she still found it difficult to accept the fact she had just heard from Jiang Hongyan.
She only felt her heartbeat accelerating, Jiang Xiachu's appearance kept appearing in front of her eyes, and her ears were buzzing.
After a long time, she finally couldn't hold on any longer, so she stopped, slowly squatted down, clenched her fists, and her fingertips were pinched into her palms, turning red.
She couldn't even describe how she felt right now.
She had imagined it countless times, but never thought that Xia Chu might be her biological daughter.
"how so……"
Her eyes were red, and she suddenly recalled the scene when she first met Jiang Xiachu many years ago.
It was an extremely cold winter. She had just returned from the art troupe. On her way home, when she passed by an alley, she suddenly saw a very small figure standing in the cold wind.
It was clearly deep winter, and she was shivering even in her thick coat, but the little girl was only wearing a patched, ill-fitting thin coat. Her little face was red from the cold, and her cheeks were even turning purple.
The clothes were already too big for her body, but the girl's neck was bare without even a scarf, which looked windproof.
It happened to be snowing at the time, and large flakes of snow kept falling down. Su Jieyu looked at Xiao Xiachu and felt so distressed.
When she looked at the poor child, she inexplicably felt a sense of pity in her heart. She subconsciously pulled off her scarf and wanted to walk forward to put it on Xiao Xiachu.
As a result, when she raised her foot and was about to walk over, suddenly a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
Even though they were close friends for many years and had a falling out, Su Jieyu recognized the man immediately.
It’s Jiang Hongyan.
Jiang Hongyan looked as if she had seen the god of plague. As soon as she saw her, she immediately pulled Jiang Xiachu over, grabbed her hand, and hid her behind her.
It was then that Su Jieyu realized that the little girl was Jiang Hongyan's child.
"you……"
She was about to say something to Jiang Hongyan, but received a cold look from Jiang Hongyan.
There was a cold look in his eyes, filled with complicated emotions that she could not understand.
After a moment, she dragged the child away without saying a word, her tone particularly impatient.
"Come home with me now!"
Xiao Xiachu was pulled so hard by her that her feet slipped and she almost lost her balance, but she still followed her obediently and left.
She wanted to look back at Su Jieyu, but Jiang Hongyan held her head down again.
Su Jieyu stood where she was, watching the two of them leave, and let out a long breath, the heat from her breath being particularly noticeable in the cold air.
She didn't think much about it at the time, just sighed and left.
-
"Why didn't I think of that?" Su Jieyu slowly stood up from the ground, holding on to the wall. At this moment, tears had already slipped down and dripped onto the ground.
At that time, she subconsciously felt pity in her heart, which was clearly an instinctive bond of blood connection.
But she didn't notice anything and let the child suffer for so many years.
Despite Jiang Hongyan's treatment, Jiang Xiachu remained so well-behaved and her temperament was not ruined. She remained an upright and motivated girl, and is still so outstanding today.
How rare.
Thinking of this, Su Jieyu felt even more distressed and pity for Jiang Xiachu.
The more Su Jieyu thought about it, the more blurred her vision became, and tears kept flowing out.
When she went to see Meng Anyao's class, she also saw Jiang Xiachu in the dance studio.
It seemed that the get out of class had been over at that time, and Teacher Huang taught Jiang Xiachu one by one.
Xiao Xiachu was not wearing a dance costume. She felt strange at the time, but now she completely understood.
Jiang Hongyan was reluctant to enroll Jiang Xiachu in a dance class. The child wanted to learn, but could only secretly attend classes outside the dance studio and practice facing his own shadow.
Fortunately, Teacher Huang is a very kind person who values talent. After learning about Jiang Xiachu's family situation, he gave her free lessons.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiachu also worked hard to achieve what she is today.
Su Jieyu had seen Jiang Xiachu dancing when she was a child. Her dance moves were light and graceful, like a little butterfly, and she was not at all stage-frightened.
At that time, she had just had a quarrel with Meng Huaizhou about another woman. She was in a very low mood, feeling sour and bitter. But when she arrived at the dance studio and watched Jiang Xiachu dancing, she suddenly forgot all the bad things.
Jiang Xiachu's love for dance was written all over her dancing posture. At that moment, she suddenly thought of her original intention of joining the art troupe, and her emotions, which had been disrupted by Meng Huaizhou, quickly calmed down.
She seemed to see herself holding on to her dream and resolutely entering the art troupe.
I see……
Su Jieyu raised her hands to cover her face, tears flowing out from between her fingers, and she sobbed non-stop.
Although she had not seen Jiang Xiachu many times in recent years, she still had an impression of him.
Now when she thinks of Xiao Xiachu wearing ill-fitting clothes, seeing the child having to go to school alone in the cold wind in the middle of winter, and seeing how thin the child was due to malnutrition, her heart aches.
She originally thought that she felt so deeply because the child was so pitiful.
Now it seems that all this is because Xia Chu is her biological daughter, and blood is thicker than water. Then all this makes sense.
How could she be so confused that she couldn't even recognize her own daughter?
It was clear that she had noticed something was wrong before.
During the art troupe assessment, she met Jiang Xiachu in the examination room. At that time, she felt that her eyes and eyebrows were very similar to hers, and they felt that they hit it off at first sight.
But at the time she thought it was just a coincidence and didn't think too much about it.
If she had recognized her daughter at that time, Xia Chu would not have suffered all the suffering that followed.
The more Su Jieyu thought about it, the more her heart ached and she felt like she was about to have a spasm.
Jiang Hongyan must have been deliberately trying to retaliate against her, so she treated Xia Chu so badly. She was unwilling to give Xia Chu anything good since she was a child, and was even reluctant to pay for her studies.
Su Jieyu's eyes had long been blurred by tears, and even her breathing became twitchy. She raised her hands to cover her face, tears streaming down her face.
She staggered forward while crying, feeling sad when she thought of the suffering her precious daughter had endured.
She didn't stand firmly and fell directly to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed. Even through her pants, her legs seemed to be a little bruised.
The person she hated the most now was not Jiang Hongyan, nor Meng Huaizhou, but herself.
If she hadn't been so slow and hadn't discovered the truth of it all, Xia Chu wouldn't have been in such bad shape.
Moreover, she raised her enemy's daughter and took great care of her over the years.
Unexpectedly, everything was just to make wedding dress for others.
"I am such a fool..."
