Chapter 741 The Missed Opportunity of That Year
Li Sihua told Su Jin many stories about her and her mother's past.
They are all wonderful memories.
"The year your mother was pregnant, your Uncle Zhao was transferred to the Southern Military Region, and I went with him. Later, your mother even sent me a photo of you. I thought we would have a chance to meet again, but I never imagined it would be our last farewell..."
At this point, Li Sihua's emotions became unstable again.
Su Jin finally understood everything. No wonder she had no recollection of her mother's friend. It turned out that she had left before Su Jin was even born.
"When you were in the hospital, did you also taste the flavor of those dumplings, which seemed especially like the ones your mother made?"
Su Jin nodded. "I was really scared at the time."
If she hadn't remembered her mother's face so clearly, she probably would have gone somewhere else.
"Because that's what your mother taught me."
Li Sihua was explaining to Su Jin, and at the same time making Su Jin realize that she had actually wanted to acknowledge her for a long time.
Otherwise, there would be no need to let her eat dumplings that taste like her mother's, which would arouse her suspicion.
"Aunt Sihua, Uncle Zhao, why didn't you come to the family compound to look for me after you came back?"
Li Sihua was clearly taken aback for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Zhao Fenglin.
"Let me tell you what happened next."
Zhao Fenglin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
Su Jin also suppressed her emotions and tensed up.
She knew it was time to get down to business.
"We learned about your parents' sacrifice two months later. Your Aunt Sihua and I rushed over immediately, hoping to see you and, ideally, take you with us."
“We first went to the martyrs’ cemetery to pay our respects, then went to the family compound and met Xiao Yunfeng.”
Su Jin's breath hitched when she heard Zhao Fenglin say this.
“Xiao Yunfeng told us that when your father sacrificed his life, he entrusted you to him, and the commander had already agreed. At that time, your Aunt Sihua still wanted to fight for you, but Xiao Yunfeng refused. We visited you then, but you were in a very low mood and probably didn’t remember anything.”
Su Jin had absolutely no recollection of ever seeing them.
In the months following her parents' death, she was in a daze and despondent for a long time.
"There's no other way, we have to go back first. It's quite a coincidence, your Aunt Sihua found out she was pregnant with her second child after we got back, and then she had very severe pregnancy symptoms, so she had to put the plan to pick you up on hold for the time being."
"I see." Su Jin murmured softly, but she didn't forget the important point, "Then why didn't you meet with me for so many years after you returned to the Beijing Military Region?"
She was absolutely certain of that.
Zhao Fenglin hesitated.
Li Sihua also shook her head slightly, seemingly conflicted again.
Su Jin was no longer willing to play games and directly exposed their attempt to conceal the truth: "You just said that Xiao Yunfeng and I are not suitable, do you know something?"
Zhao Fenglin and Li Sihua were both taken aback by her words.
"Girl, why would you ask that? Have you also discovered that Xiao Yunfeng is related to your father's death?!"
Su Jin's brain went blank for a moment, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze completely.
