However, Yao Mei’s expression did not relax because of this. When she saw that the saline drip was done, she pressed the bell and asked the nurse to remove the needle. Then, she said, “I want to go down and take a breather… Hengyuan, push me downstairs. I still have something to ask you.”
Su Jin could tell that her adoptive mother was still immensely worried about Jin Hengyuan.
“Sure!”
Jin Hengyuan agreed without hesitation. He wasn’t upset just because his mother-in-law did not look happy. Before he left, he even whispered into Su Jin’s ear, “Don’t worry, I can handle it!”
Sigh! Hopefully so!
The main reason why she got married in such a hurry was because of her adoptive mother. If he could not be acknowledged by her, she would feel very aggrieved.
There was a healing garden downstairs in the sanatorium. As the sun was shining brightly and spring was in the air, there were quite a number of patients taking a stroll in the shade of the trees.
Jin Hengyuan pushed Yao Mei along. After a while, the person sitting in the wheelchair said softly…
“Hengyuan, I recognize you. 10 years ago, you climbed over the Su family’s wall!”
Jin Hengyuan stopped in his tracks and remained silent.
Yao Mei turned her wheelchair around and studied him again. She seemed to be comparing him, the person in front of her eyes, to the person in her memory. Her expression was indifferent.
“At that time, you were even younger. You should have been in your early twenties, and your body was thinner than it is now…”
“That day, you secretly jumped down from the wall and walked around the garden. I discovered this scene upstairs and came down to stop you.”
“At that time, you smiled a little awkwardly. You shushed me with your index finger and said, ‘I’m not here to steal stuff. Don’t call for help.'”
“I didn’t think you looked like a bad person, so I asked you why you were there.”
“Do you remember how you answered?”
She asked softly as her thoughts were pulled back from the past. She stared at him intently, as if she wanted to see through him.
“I said, ‘I’m here to steal a person…'”
Jin Hengyuan chuckled lightly and closed his eyes. The past had been sealed for many years, but when he recalled it again, he realized that it had already been deeply engraved in his soul, so profound that it was as if it had just happened. Yes, Yao Mei was still a beautiful woman at that time. She wore a long dress and was very elegant.
“You have a wonderful memory,” he sighed.
However, Yao Mei frowned because of his admission. There were too many doubts in her heart. “That day, I was stunned by your words… because you said that you were going to steal someone. Before I could ask clearly, you jumped onto the wall and ran away. Today, I have to ask, who were you trying to steal?”
“What do you think?”
“Xiao Jin?”
Jin Hengyuan smiled as a form of agreement.
“You already knew Xiao Jin 10 years ago?”
This amazed Yao Mei.
“Yes!” He nodded. “Unfortunately, I found her too late.”
He remembered that the day he climbed over the Su family’s high wall, the sky was as blue as today. He was originally in a very good mood, but later, he saw a scene that he shouldn’t have seen. He immediately felt terrible. Su Jin and Su Mubai were kissing under the pear blossom tree…
