Sun Yangxin looked at Su Xiaoling's back, feeling sad.
The surname is not Yan, but Zhao. It is so similar that it is just a mistake.
His ancestral home is Furongzhou, which is thousands of miles away from the capital. There is no way his Mianmian could have traveled that far.
Sun Yangxin sighed, turned and left.
He didn't notice that Su Xiaoling walked out far away and then looked back to see if he was really gone.
Seeing that this strange man had really left, Su Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had really admitted her mistake.
After confirming, Su Xiaoling returned home with confidence.

When Sun Yangxin returned to the house, he hurried to the study, found the scroll hidden at the bottom of the box, and unfolded it carefully.
In the scroll, there is a young girl, a graceful girl, sitting gracefully and looking at him with a smile.
Sun Yangxin melancholy stretched out his hand and gently touched the scroll girl's cheek. He murmured to himself: "Mianmian, I saw another woman today. She looks like you... I thought that was you for a time."
A lifeless picture scroll can never give him any response.
"It's been twenty-four years, Mianmian, where are you? I'm forty-five. Can I still wait for you to come back in this life?"
Sun Yangxin sighed lowly.
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Sun Yangxin calmed down and slowly put the scroll away.
"Master, is there any news today? The servant said that you came to the study as soon as you came back from outside the house."
Zhou Wenjing walked to Sun Yangxin and watched him carefully put away the scroll. She asked gently.
After putting the scroll away, Sun Yangxin sighed: "I met a girl on the street today. She is very similar to Mian Mian Chang, but her mother's surname is not Yan, and her ancestral home is in Furongzhou."
The startling glance made him feel shocked, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
When Sun Yangxin said this, Zhou Wenjing knew why he was so lost and lost.
Sun Yangxin looked melancholy, and Zhou Wenjing looked at him with sad eyes.
It's just the loneliness in her eyes that Sun Yangxin has never seen.
Zhou Wenjing lowered her eyes and said softly: "Master, my mother-in-law said she wants to see you."
Sun Yangxin glanced at Zhou Wenjing and said calmly: "Okay, I'll be there right away."
After Sun Yangxin finished speaking, he left the study.
Zhou Wenjing stood quietly in the study and looked at his back. She was lost for a moment before following him. As early as when she married him, she knew that there was a woman in his heart that she could never replace, right?
What makes her heartache is that Yan Mian has only known him for a few years. She has been with him for twenty years, thousands of days and nights, but he has not been able to look back at her, and she has not been able to occupy a place in his heart.
Looking back on the past, all the affection has been wiped away long ago. She is just unwilling to give up and pay so much for this result. Now that things have happened, she can no longer let go.
Arriving at the main courtyard, Zhou Wenjing had just walked to the door when she heard Qin's angry voice coming from inside.
"For a dead man, how long will you let Wen Jing guard you? Do you want me, an old woman, to have no peace even in the underworld? My son, you are forty-five years old. Those who are as old as you are...
Now that you are a grandpa, even if Yan Mian is still there, she would already have children with someone else. Do you understand or not? Ah!"
Mrs. Qin was so angry that she looked at her son kneeling in front of her, feeling hurt and angry.
Sun Yangxin knelt down and waited for Mrs. Qin to get angry before he spoke: "Mom, please calm down and please forgive the child for being unfilial."
Sun Yangxin also understands the same truth, but this cannot be put down just because he understands it.
Mrs. Qin wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "What do you want mother to do? If Yan Mian is still there, mother can treat her as an ancestor and support her, but she is long gone, why can't you let her go?"
Wen Jing has been wasting her precious years by guarding you. She is no worse than Yan Mian. Why can't you look at her? Why can't you like her?"
Mrs. Qin's heart ached as she spoke. She grabbed the tea cup at hand and wanted to smash it down, but she retracted her hand before doing so.
Sun Yangxin lowered his head and said, "Mom, if Wen Jing wants to, she can leave at any time..."
"You, you...why are you so cruel to Wen Jing?"
Qin was extremely angry and heartbroken. Sun Yang was too infatuated, but his infatuation was given to a person whom he had not heard from for decades. He gave all his cruelty to Zhou Wenjing.
Sun Yangxin could not answer Qin's accusation, so he remained silent as always.
Zhou Wenjing listened quietly outside, with tears already streaming down her face.
She exhaled, wiped the tears from her face, and then went in holding up her dress.
"Mother-in-law."
Zhou Wenjing bowed lightly.
Then she looked at Mrs. Qin and said, "Mother-in-law, don't blame me."
"Wen Jing, I feel sorry for you."
Mrs. Qin sighed. She personally chose Zhou Wenjing as her daughter-in-law. She thought that after forcing Sun Yangxin to get married, Sun Yangxin would treat her daughter-in-law well and gradually forget about Yan Mian.
But after so many years, Sun Yangxin still only has Yan Mian in his heart. After twenty years of marriage, he has never touched Zhou Wenjing.
Qin felt distressed, but Zhou Wenjing just lowered her eyes and smiled gently, saying as always: "It doesn't matter, it's all of my own free will."
Mrs. Qin felt uncomfortable in her heart, and Sun Yangxin knelt down without making any excuses, but he didn't listen at all to what she said.
Zhou Wenjing is gentle and sensible, and never blames her.
Seeing Sun Yangxin like this, Ms. Qin knew that he was no different from before. He didn't care about being scolded or beaten, but she couldn't change his mind. Feeling tired, she waved her hand and said, "Wen Jing will follow you."
For ten years, there is no merit but hard work. Mom just asks you to be nicer to her. Anyway, you won’t listen to what mom says, so go ahead."
Qin didn't know how many times she had said these words in the past twenty years. If they had been useful, Zhou Wenjing would not still be a virgin today.
Qin didn't want to say any more and waved Sun Yangxin to leave.
Sun Yangxin slowly stood up and retreated.
Zhou Wenjing was about to retreat, but Mrs. Qin stopped her and said, "Wenjing, wait a minute."
Sun Yangxin retreated and left without looking back.
Zhou Wenjing walked to Qin's side and waited for her instructions.
Mrs. Qin looked at Zhou Wenjing, feeling really guilty. She said to Zhou Wenjing: "Wenjing, how have you considered what I told you last time? Although adopting a child is a last resort, raising one under your knees is the same.
Yes, you will have someone to rely on in the future."
Zhou Wenjing lowered her eyes and did not meet Qin's eyes. She said lightly: "Thank you for your concern, mother-in-law. I want to wait for two more years."
Zhou Wenjing was obsessed with this, and Qin had no choice. She waved her hand and asked Zhou Wenjing to retreat.
Zhou Wenjing left the main courtyard and ordered her servants to make soup, while she went to stand quietly outside the study door.
