Chapter 321 Finale 7
Jian Shulin asked her: "Do you like it here too?"
Jiang Qianxun was not stupid. She immediately understood the hidden meaning of her mother's words. She asked, "Is there anything special about this place?"
At this time, Ah Xiang heard the noise outside, and she walked out directly. When she saw Jiang Qianxun, she was stunned at first.
After that, she looked at Jian Shulin again. After a long while, she stammered, "This, this, this... is..."
When Jian Shulin saw Ah Xiang like this, she laughed and then explained: "This is the second young lady."
Ah Xiang seemed not to believe it, her eyes still fixed on Jiang Qianxun.
"This... looks so much like the young lady, even more so than in the photo!"
Jiang Qianxun's story was known throughout the country, and many people had seen her photos on the news. Ah Xiangli was no exception. But when she actually saw Jiang Qianxun, she realized how much the person in front of her looked like a young lady.
Seeing this, Ah Xiang even admired Jian Shulin a little. If she had met Jiang Qianxun, she would probably treat her as her own daughter the first time they met.
Jiang Qianxun seemed to understand Ah Xiang's thoughts. She also vaguely knew that she looked like her biological sister. After all, her grandmother, parents, and everyone else said so. But when she saw Ah Xiang so surprised, she was still a little stunned.
She turned to look at her mother: "I'm kind of curious about what the big sister looks like."
Big sister, this is what they called her biological sister when they chatted these days.
Jian Shulin smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'll take you to see it later." After that, she looked at Ah Xiang and said, "Ah Xiang, go and pour a glass of water for the second young lady. She is pregnant and can't drink tea."
The one called Ah Xiang finally shifted her gaze and attention away from Jiang Qianxun, and nodded respectfully: "Don't worry, I have served the young lady before, and I know how to take care of a pregnant woman.
After saying that, Ah Xiang turned around and trotted into the house. After a while, she came out holding a cup.
"Miss, please drink some water. This water has lemon and honey in it. Pregnant women tend to have poor digestion in their stomachs during the late stages of pregnancy, so this is the best drink."
"Thank you!"
Jiang Qianxun took it and then looked at her mother.
When Jian Shulin saw this, she continued to tell her the story of the swing.
"This swing is your elder sister's favorite. Your sister is six years older than you. When I was pregnant with you, your elder sister was already in elementary school. Your sister is very sensible. She touched my belly at that time and said that I was pregnant with a little girl. She said that she liked swings and that you would like them too, so she asked me to make one and put it here.
Later you were born, no, now it’s Huang Xiaoxiao, but Huang Xiaoxiao didn’t like this and was afraid of heights, so your sister said that Huang Xiaoxiao was not her sister, and the two sisters even quarreled about this.
But I thought it was just a quarrel between children. I didn’t expect that many years later, my eldest daughter died and Huang Xiaoxiao was punished. Then I realized that what she said was true. "
Speaking of the past, Jian Shulin was a little emotional: "I didn't expect that you liked this place so much the first time you came to my house. This made me think of your elder sister. If she were still alive, she would be very happy to see that you also like this swing frame."
Having said this, Jian Shulin's eyes finally became moist.
"Wife, what are you talking about?" At this time, Huang Jingyi, who had just finished parking, came over and saw his wife and daughter staying here, he asked.
But there was a smile on his face.
After all, my wife and children are here. What could be more perfect than a family reunion?
It was a good day to welcome her daughter back. Jane Shulin didn't want her husband to see her crying, so she quickly wiped away her tears.
"Nothing, let's talk about this swing. It's cold outside, let's go in."
Huang Jingyi clearly saw tears in his wife's eyes and was a little worried at first, but when he saw the happiness in her eyes, he did not ask any more questions and directly took his wife and daughter into the house.
The interior of the house was also decorated in Chinese style, but it lacked the grandeur of European style decoration. Instead, it had more Chinese poetic and picturesque feeling. Jiang Qianxun walked past the huge green bonsai placed at the door and entered the living room.
Her mother Jian Shulin asked her to sit down first, and then she went in by herself, not knowing what she was busy with.
Her father Huang Jingyi also came into the room because the phone was ringing. He told her to sit still and he would come over as soon as he answered the call.
Jiang Qianxun had no choice but to sit down. She was advanced in her pregnancy and was tired after walking a few steps. So she sat in the living room and watched Ah Xiang washing fruit.
Ah Xiang was very serious about her work. After finishing her work, she looked out the window of the open kitchen and saw the red plum tree outside. The next second, Jiang Qianxun saw Ah Xiang go out with a pair of scissors, cut a small branch of red plum, put it in a vase, and brought it in together with the fruit plate.
"Second Miss, come and eat some fruit. These are what pregnant women love to eat."
Jiang Qianxun took a look and found that there were indeed fresh cherries shipped by air, local sugar-core apples, and off-season fresh fruits such as sour and sweet bayberries, etc., which could whet one's appetite just by looking at them.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Qianxun couldn't help but reach out and take a few bayberries.
While eating, Jiang Qianxun saw Ah Xiang still concentrating on putting the red plums she had just cut into a vase, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Does everyone in your family like Hongmei?"
Ah Xiang said, "Yes! The master, his wife and the eldest lady all like it. The eldest lady also said that you like it too. This bunch of red plums was planted by the eldest lady. Since the eldest lady left, it has rarely been taken down to be used as a vase.
Later, when Madam knew that the Second Miss was not the real Second Miss, she never cut the plums again this winter. I once saw Madam standing beside the red plum tree and crying. Now that you are back, I took the initiative to cut them off. "
Following Ah Xiang's words, Jiang Qianxun imagined her mother's grief after losing her eldest daughter, and her dejected look as she stood alone beside the tree when she learned that Huang Xiaoxiao was not her biological daughter and could not find her whereabouts.
After all, mother and child are connected by heart. Jiang Qianxun's eyes turned red and even her movements of eating fruit slowed down.
Ah Xiang didn't notice her little expression. After inserting the bottle, she said she was going to the kitchen to cook and went downstairs.
Perhaps they really had a telepathic connection. Jiang Qianxun seemed to be guided by something. She didn't even wait for her father and mother to come back and show her around. She just wanted to go and see her own home.
So she put the fruit away and walked to the piano in the living room.
The piano was spotless, obviously cleaned every day, and on the piano stand were a row of photo frames, each of which depicted the same person.
When Jiang Qianxun saw the girl who looked almost the same as herself but had a more flamboyant temperament, she knew who this person was almost subconsciously.
This is her older sister.
And in every photo frame, the older sister either gave a thumbs-up or sat together with a young boy to play a duet. The boy's profile was sunny and handsome, and he looked a bit like Xing Mingyu.
The two of them are very well matched.
The piano was closed.
So, this piano is the one that my elder sister often plays.
When Jiang Qianxun saw this, she didn’t dare to move or look anymore, and she was about to leave.
Just when she didn't want to leave, the photo frame placed at the very edge suddenly fell down.
Maybe she touched it accidentally.
Afraid of destroying her elder sister's things, Jiang Qianxun quickly reached out to take it.
She did catch the photo frame, but when she put it back in its place, she realized that the photo frame was a little different.
The other photos are all shot in a very serious style, except for this photo, which is also a photo of the elder sister and the boy playing together. The elder sister is on the left and the boy is on the right, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a small empty frame on the left hand side of the elder sister.
Because the border and background color are the same, you won’t notice this place if you don’t look carefully.
Only when you hold it in your hand and tilt it at a certain angle can you see a virtual frame on it. Above the frame, there is a cute cloud, a bit like the text box in a computer. Above the text box, there is a border of the same color and a line of words written with the same color frame line.
Jiang Qianxun was curious. She tilted the photo frame and took a closer look. Only then did she discover a line of words written on it: My dear sister.
She looked to the left and saw similar words written on the elder sister's head. It read: I. And on the man's head, it read: Xing Huaiting.
It turns out that Xing Mingyu's brother is called this name.
Jiang Qianxun was a little surprised and put the photo frame back to its original place. However, after she put it back, because of the angle, she glanced at the photo next to it.
But then I realized that almost every photo has this style.
For example, in the second photo she had seen, the older sister was sitting alone on the piano stool playing the piano, her eyes still looking to the left.
At the time, she didn't think there was anything special about the photo, thinking that it was taken accidentally by the family when her elder sister was playing.
But this time, she saw that there was still a virtual border in the direction where her elder sister was looking, and above her head were still written those five words: Dear sister, I am leaving you.
Jiang Qianxun looked at the third, fourth, and fifth pictures again...
Every photo has it.
But Huang Xiaoxiao is the only one not in these photos.
It seems that the person who took the photos or the person who made these photos knew that Huang Xiaoxiao was not her biological sister, that her biological sister has always been someone else, and she will never forget her biological sister in every detail of her life.
Jiang Qianxun's gaze fell from every word of "my biological sister's confession" to the face of the older sister in the photo who looked almost the same as her. Somehow, looking at this face that was very similar to her, Jiang Qianxun's eyes suddenly turned red and a dull pain flashed through her heart.
Suddenly she couldn't bear to watch it anymore and turned around to leave, but when she turned around, she saw her mother Jian Shulin standing behind her.
"mom."
Jian Shulin stepped forward, took the photo from her hand, and asked her, "Did you see it all?"
Jiang Qianxun did not hide it and said frankly: "Are these my elder sister and brother-in-law?"
“Yes, that’s them, but unfortunately they are no longer with us. Also, like you, I only discovered the words written on the photos above this year.
At that time, I had just discovered that Huang Xiaoxiao was not my biological daughter. After I learned the truth, I was almost in a trance. I only knew to send people out to look for my younger daughter, but there was no trace of her. I missed her so much that I had to take the photo of my older daughter to remember her. So, like you, I also found the above text.
It was then that I realized that my eldest daughter had already discovered the truth. In fact, she told me more than once that Huang Xiaoxiao was not her biological sister. She said that this sister was not close to her at all and was definitely not her biological sister. But at that time, I thought she was just childish and jealous, jealous that I loved her sister so much.
Until she passed away, until I discovered the truth... If... If I had discovered it earlier, maybe, before she passed away, I could have helped her find her sister, and I wouldn't have let you suffer so much outside.
And now, I finally found you, but she is gone..."
When talking about her eldest daughter, Jian Shulin couldn't hold back her emotions. She held the photos and looked at her biological daughter in the photos. Her voice was choked with sobs and her eyes were filled with great sadness.
Seeing her mother missing her child so much, Jiang Qianxun, who is also a mother, felt the same way. She couldn't help but reach out and hug her mother.
