Today He Jingtian is working as a translator for a foreign trade company.
The group of people sitting opposite were an investment group from the United States. One of them, a wealthy businessman named Su Xuezhou, had been staring at He Jingtian from time to time from the first moment he saw him.
After He Jingtian was reborn, his six senses became particularly keen, and he soon felt this strange gaze.
While he was translating conscientiously, he turned around and looked at Su Xuezhou without leaving any trace.
Who is this person?
Oh, by the way, when I introduced him just now, he was said to be a Chinese with American nationality, named Su Xuezhou, and his ancestral home is the provincial capital.
This Mr. Su has been abroad for 20 or 30 years. Now that the mainland is attracting investment, he has come back to make contributions.
But, why is he always looking at me?
And he still used this focused and trance-like gaze, as if he was trying to trace someone’s shadow through him!
Su Xuezhou, this name is very strange.
He Jingtian recalled it carefully, and he had no impression whether it was his past life or this life.
However, I am here to work today, and if I take other people’s money, I have to work hard.
He Jingtian temporarily suppressed these questions and continued to translate seriously.
An hour later, the negotiation came to an end. Su Xuezhou found an opportunity to get in front of He Jingtian and exchange greetings with him with a smile.
"Young man, your English is very good. Do you have any experience studying abroad?"
Su Xuezhou came to He Jingtian and could see his features more carefully. He felt more and more that this child looked too familiar, just like the little sister he had been thinking about for more than twenty years.
He endured the excitement in his heart and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.
He Jingtian shook his head, "No, I am only a junior this year. I am still studying at S University and have never been abroad."
"Oh, that's it. Then classmate He's parents must be very good people. Did they train you since you were a child?" Su Xuezhou continued to test.
He Jingtian nodded and then shook his head, "In my eyes, my parents must be the best parents in the world. However, due to various reasons, neither my father nor my mother can help me with my homework."
He has become so outstanding, firstly because of his own efforts, and secondly because of the opportunity of rebirth.
Of course, He Jingtian is now a well-known filial son in the provincial capital, and it is what he should do to protect the image and reputation of his parents.
Su Xuezhou wanted to continue asking, but the negotiations started again in the second half.
Su Xuezhou had no choice but to press the matter aside and return to the venue to continue discussing the project.
After the negotiation, looking at He Jingtian's hurried back, Su Xuezhou had no time to stop him, nor did he catch up. Instead, he told the people around him: "Go and check for me -"
That night, Su Xuezhou checked into the hotel arranged by the local investment promotion department. The assistant had already inquired about some information and was holding a newspaper in his hand.
"That classmate He Jingtian is still a celebrity in the provincial capital. He was born in a remote mountain village. His father died unexpectedly. His mother was unable to live alone because of poor health, so he took his mother to college!"
"No, it was reported by the local newspaper. Here is a photo. Take a look!"
As the assistant spoke, he laid the newspaper flat in front of Su Xuezhou.
"Take your mother to college?"
Su Xuezhou put on her reading glasses, and the title came into view instantly.
However, he did not rush to read the report, but instead focused on the photo.
"Xue Qing? It's really Xue Qing!"
Su Xuezhou's heart was greatly shaken, and his hands were trembling.
Although more than twenty years have passed, and although the woman in the photo has become haggard and old, Su Xuezhou can still recognize her at a glance as her biological brother.
"Mental illness? How is it possible? How could my Xue Qing get mad?"
Su Xuezhou eagerly glanced through the report and read it through.
He accurately grasped several key points, and what made him most heartbroken was the description of "Mother He" in the report.
Crazy, unconscious, unable to take care of himself!
How could his well-behaved and sensible sister go crazy?
In the years when she was separated from her family, what had she experienced?!
Su Xuezhou lived for more than fifty years, and of course he was not a fool.
He has been doing business in a foreign country for many years, and he knows the darkness of those societies and the ugliness of human nature better than anyone else.
Just by seeing a few lines of text in the newspaper report, he could make many guesses.
And every speculation made him angry and distressed.
No, he wants to see his sister right away. He wants to see with his own eyes whether his sister is doing well now. He wants to——
Early the next morning, He Jingtian followed his habit after his rebirth and went out for a run in the small garden before dawn.
After exercising, he bought two portions of tofu puffs, a pack of fried dough sticks and two steamed buns from a breakfast stall on the street.
Strolling back to the staff dormitory, he saw a somewhat familiar figure in front of the door of the unit he rented.
"Su, Mr. Su?"
He Jingtian was so surprised that he stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"Hello, classmate He. It's really rude to come here without permission, but there is something I must verify."
Su Xuezhou had already determined that "Mother He" was her long-lost biological sister. When Su Xuezhou saw He Jingtian again, her eyes showed some intimacy and satisfaction.
This kid is nice, so filial!
Being able to never leave your crazy mother, let alone a young man who has not yet stepped out of society, even many successful grown men may not be able to do it.
And such an outstanding child is most likely his nephew.
The more Su Xuezhou looked at He Jingtian, the more she liked him.
He Jingtian:...Hey, why does this person’s eyes look so weird?
However, since the person came to the door and said that he wanted to have a good talk with him, He Jingtian couldn't turn the person away.
However, considering the situation of his own mother, he still said a little apologetically, "Okay, Mr. Su, I will send breakfast home first, and then we will go to a cafe not far away to sit!"
Su Xuezhou was anxious. If he could, he really wanted to rush to He's house and see with his own eyes whether Mother He was his little sister.
However, his reason reminded him that this was really not appropriate.
He had not forgotten that the newspaper clearly stated that He's mother had been stimulated when she was young, so her brain was broken.
A stranger suddenly appeared to look for a relative. If no preparations had been made in advance, Mother He might still be irritated.
When the time comes, good things will turn into bad things!
It is He Jingtian’s suggestion that is the most appropriate.
And Su Xuezhou did have something in her heart that she wanted to ask alone.
I watched eagerly as He Jingtian entered the unit door, opened the door to the east door on the first floor, and then heard him say a few gentle words to the room, and the people in the room also responded in a low voice.
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Xuezhou's heart beat wildly.
They look so alike! They even sound like little girls!
Su Xuezhou became more and more certain of his guess.
So, when he and He Jingtian came to a cafe near S University, and they had just sat down, Su Xuezhou didn't take any detours and went straight to the topic.
He took out a somewhat worn pocket watch from his coat pocket, opened the cover, and showed a small photo on the cover to He Jingtian.
He Jingtian didn't know why, but he still stretched his head and took a look.
"Eh? This, this isn't -" My mother.
It's just that the little girl in the photo is much younger than her mother. She has a bright smile and bright eyes. At first glance, she looks like a wealthy daughter who lives a very prosperous life and is well-educated.
"Looks familiar? Right? The person in the photo is my little sister, but we were separated many years ago..."
Su Xuezhou did not miss He Jingtian's surprise. He did not want to recall what happened back then, but simply told the situation of their Su family.
Then, he changed his topic and stared at He Jingtian with burning eyes, "I don't know what happened to Xue Qing back then, and I don't even know why she married your father."
When he mentioned He Jingtian's father, Su Xuezhou gritted his teeth and his eyes became extremely cold.
Although he doesn't know anything, he knows his little sister.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for her to marry a poor farmer in a mountain village.
Unless she doesn't do it voluntarily or is simply coerced.
Su Xuezhou didn't speak clearly, but his eyes made it very clear.
He suspected that He Laoguai had forced He's mother, his younger sister Su Xueqing.
Although DNA has not been done yet, He Jingtian has a hunch that his biological mother should be Mr. Su's sister.
As Mother He's condition improved, she gradually revealed her original temperament.
And whether it is the English words she occasionally pops up, or the unique temperament she reveals when making clothes and tending flowers and plants, it all shows that she is not a wandering girl or a crazy woman.
She should have received a good education and her life should have been very generous.
Because things like temperament are accumulated by money.
He Jingtian was still thinking about what his mother was before she was crazy and stupid.
He saw Su Xuezhou coming to his door today, and he understood.
However, knowing that he had an uncle from the United States, He Jingtian was not as happy as most people in this era.
This is the craziest time for people to go abroad. If anyone has overseas connections, they have mastered the code of wealth.
However, at this moment, facing his uncle, a wealthy businessman from the United States, He Jingtian was filled with anxiety and his palms were sweating.
Especially what Su Xuezhou asked just now, she almost pointed at He Jingtian's nose and asked: "Tell me, did your father bully my little sister?"
"Even if my little sister got mad, was it your father who caused it?"
He Jingtian:......
You can't tell, you absolutely can't tell the truth.
Fortunately, he was reborn. Recently, he has been frequently interviewed by magazines and TV stations.
He "adapted" his family's story and told it to outsiders many times.
A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth, and the story was told so many times that He Jingtian himself believed it.
Therefore, facing Su Xuezhou's questioning, He Jingtian was secretly panicked, but still had a calm expression on his face.
He told Su Xuezhou the story he told reporters again, "... When my father went to work in the county town, he found my mother by the railway."
"My mother has gone crazy. She doesn't remember who she is or where she came from."
"My father saw how pitiful she was, so he took her home. Our family is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, so my father wanted to try to treat my mother."
"But, maybe my mother was too stimulated, and she was very reluctant to think about what happened back then. Instead of getting better, her condition got worse!"
"In the end, dad married mom and still took care of her!"
Although it was against his will to say this, He Jingzhen was afraid that his uncle would be angry with him if he knew the truth.
Although he has many skills, he has now established a firm foothold in the provincial capital.
But Su Xuezhou is even more powerful. He is now the foreign businessman that the investment promotion department attaches most importance to. I heard that even the leaders of the province will personally receive him.
He Jingtian admitted that he was very selfish, but he did not deliberately deceive.
Besides, both her biological father and grandmother have passed away. Even if she told the truth, how could Su Xuezhou still go dig graves and whip corpses?!
Absolutely not, but Su Xuezhou's anger needed a way to vent, and He Jingtian, whose body was half filled with He Laoguai's blood, became the target of Su Xuezhou's anger.
Of course, for Su Xueqing's sake, Su Xuezhou would not do anything to He Jingtian.
However, complete love is definitely better than a mixture of love and hate.
He Jingtian didn't want to put himself in an embarrassing situation.
Moreover, he told an adapted story, not just for himself, but also to appease his uncle——
Dear, don't worry, my mother and your little sister didn't have a very bad life in the past.
Maybe you don’t have glory and wealth, but you have a stable home!
Is it a good thing to tell the truth and make family members feel sad?
It would be better to let Su Xuezhou mistakenly think that although her sister is crazy, she has not suffered too much and is living well now.
Su Xuezhou himself will also be very happy.
Sure enough, hearing He Jingtian talk about the past in a calm tone, although Su Xuezhou still had doubts in his heart, he was finally relieved.
The younger sister has indeed suffered, but fortunately everything has passed. Now she and her son are living very well and can enjoy a comfortable old age!
"...Okay, it's good that you don't have to suffer!"
Su Xuezhou seemed to have let go of a stone in his heart, with a smile on his face and hope in his eyes, "I, can I see her? I know that she is sick and can't stand stimulation, but I really miss her."
"How about I ask the doctor first? In fact, my mother's condition has improved a lot now, but I'm still worried that she can't bear too much stimulation!"
"Okay! Okay! Let's ask the doctor first, and then meet again!" Su Xuezhou agreed very much, feeling that his nephew was very thoughtful.
He had only been back in China for a few days and already knew that many young people in China were extremely attracted to life abroad.
He is also extremely polite to "foreign businessmen" and so on, even a little groveling.
It is really not easy for my nephew, a college student in his twenties, to be neither humble nor overbearing in front of a foreign businessman like me!
He is worthy of being the grandson of my Su family. Although he is only half of the blood, he is still so outstanding and confident.
After a lot of work, Su Xuezhou finally met He's mother, his little sister Su Xueqing.
Maybe it was the call of family affection, or maybe it was Su Xueqing who really recovered. The moment she saw Su Xuezhou, Su Xueqing didn't get sick or cry bitterly. She recalled her memories before she got sick.
"Brother, you are back!"
Su Xueqing has a soft voice and a gentle temperament. She is a little more mature and stable than the little princess of the Su family back then, but she also has a noble temperament.
The moment she heard about her brother, Su Xuezhou burst into tears...
