Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 412 A-Wan?

Grandpa Sang listened and fell silent.

Over the years, Sang's maternal grandparents have been very reluctant to talk about their daughter's death and rarely mention it.

Inside the room, Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi were talking about the death of her mother-in-law, Sang Yuwan.

"...So, your mother-in-law didn't die in Beijing? But on the border?" Gu Jianing was slightly surprised.

Because Sheng Zexi never mentioned it, she still thought her mother-in-law had passed away in Beijing.

"Yes, because it was infected with a highly contagious virus, the body could not be brought back at the time. Instead, it was cremated at the border. What was brought back was my mother's ashes."

Sheng Zexi still feels sad when he talks about his mother's death.

Back then, a conflict broke out on the border between their country and country F. Sheng Xinhao was required to lead a team there, and might even have to stay there for one or two years.

Because the mission is quite long, one person may be allowed to accompany the soldier.

Sheng Xinhao didn't want to bring Sang Yuwan along at first.

I'm just worried that the twilight party might encounter some danger.

But Sang Yuwan wanted to go, simply because she was not only Sheng Xinhao's wife, but also a war correspondent.

So she wanted to follow up and report on it.

In the end, Sheng Xinhao couldn't persuade Sang Yuwan to leave.

At that time, Sheng Zexi, who was still a teenager when he entered junior high school, naturally couldn't bear to leave his parents.

But there's nothing we can do; my parents' jobs mean that our family can't always be together.

Therefore, Sheng Zexi was entrusted to Sang's maternal grandparents.

Unexpectedly, Sang Yuwan never returned after leaving.

“If I had known that she would never come back after leaving, I would have clung to her leg and cried, but I would never have let her go.”

During the six months that Sang Yuwan accompanied Sheng Xinhao to the border, she still occasionally sent back messages.

But just six months later, an infectious disease suddenly broke out on the border.

“In ancient times, the deadly infectious disease was almost always a plague.”

"When the news was released, countless people had already been infected."

Sang Yuwan was infected around that time, and her condition was very serious.

"...He said that he had asked many people to save my mother, and even the doctor with the best medical skills in Country A at the border at the time, but he still couldn't save my mother's life."

So when Sheng Xinhao returned to China again, he brought back his honors as well as Sang Yuwan's ashes.

Sheng Zexi also clearly remembers how much pain Sheng Xinhao suffered from his wife's passing during the first six months.

But I also clearly remember that a year later, he remarried as if he had forgotten his mother.

It wasn't that Sheng Zexi was against him getting married.

In particular, Sheng Xinhao was still young at the time, and he was given a high position as soon as he returned to China.

Even if he doesn't want to remarry, his position will inevitably force him to do so.

However, Sheng Zexi felt that only a year had passed too quickly.

In particular, after Sheng Xinhao married Fang Wanrong, his heart completely leaned towards Fang Wanrong's side, and he even became increasingly biased and skeptical of Sheng Zexi.

This is why Sheng Zexi hates him.

After all, life and death are preordained and cannot be forced.

However, in other aspects, Sheng Zexi also saw Sheng Xinhao's ruthlessness.

Even though Sheng Xinhao and Fang Wanrong have long since divorced.

Even though Sheng Xinhao knew he was wrong all along, he kept trying to make amends.

Even this year, he invited the old man to spend the New Year at the courtyard house.

However, it cannot be said that the resentment in Sheng Zexi's heart had disappeared.

"If you want my resentment to disappear, my mother will have to come back to life, but..."

But how could that be?

Gu Jianing understood what he meant, stepped forward, hugged him, and silently comforted him. Sheng Zexi didn't let his emotions linger for too long and quickly recovered.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was the most sumptuous meal of the year in this courtyard house.

While we were having our New Year's Eve dinner, the television we bought last year was playing the Spring Festival Gala.

As the clock struck midnight on television and fireworks lit up the sky over Beijing, the new year arrived.

Xingxing, Yueyue, and Tuantuan, being quite young, had already fallen asleep.

In the courtyard, Sheng Zexi held Gu Jianing in his arms. The two looked at the magnificent fireworks blooming in the sky, their hands clasped tightly together, their hearts also bound together.

At that moment, no words were spoken, but in their hearts they made a promise to each other to stay together and continue to spend many, many more years like this...

I don’t know if it was because we talked about his mother during the day, but Sheng Zexi had a rare dream that night.

I saw my mother in my dream.

In my dream, my mother was young, beautiful and gentle.

But when Sheng Zexi tried to get closer, she vanished like a wisp of smoke...
-
At this time, in country A.

In the manor, a beautiful middle-aged woman gazed out the window.

At this moment, a handsome middle-aged man walked over and put his arm around the woman.

"My dear Wan, what are you thinking about?"

"Henry, isn't today New Year's Eve in China?" asked the middle-aged woman named Wan.

The handsome, blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man named Henry's eyes flickered, something seemed to flash across them quickly, but it disappeared just as fast.

His voice was both magnetic and gentle.

"Yes, today is Chinese New Year's Eve."

"It must be very lively in China today. I remember that New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion."

"Yes."

"Henry, do you think my family misses me and thinks about me too?"

Henry pursed his lips, hugged his wife tightly, and said, "Darling, do you still want to go back to China to find your family?"

“Yes. Henry, I have to find an answer no matter what, otherwise I’ll always feel uneasy.” Awan nestled in Henry’s arms.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"Ah."

Awan looked out the window, as if she wanted to see China on the other side of the ocean.

Awan has no memories of the past, only a vague recollection that someone called her Awan.

When she had memories, she was seriously ill and was treated by Henry.

Henry said he met her by chance.

When Henry met her, she was seriously ill and had no one by her side. Later, even after Henry cured her, she inquired around the neighborhood but could not find any family members who resembled her.

Later, she followed Henry back to Country A, fell in love with him again, and got married.

After that, they settled in country A.

More than a decade has passed.

The only thing Awan knew was that she was Chinese.

Because of her distinctive Eastern features, she is Chinese.

For over a decade, although she and Henry had no children, Henry always treated her very well, cherishing her like a precious jewel.

But as time went on, Awan always felt an emptiness in her heart.

It's as if I've forgotten something important.

That was very, very important to her; she couldn't let it go.

Awan knew that something very important was in China, so even after more than a decade, she was determined to find it.
