Xi Tian drove behind Zhang De’s car for about half an hour before they arrived at the Zhang residence, where they could access the secret room and see her mom. After Zhang De got out of the car, Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao followed.
Before Zhang De could say a word, an elegant woman walked up to him and wiped away his sweat lovingly with a handkerchief as she said with a smile, “Son, you’re back from school. Mom has been waiting for you for a long time!”
Zhang De’s eyes were filled with happiness when he heard this. He didn’t have a mother since young and thought that she had passed away. But now that he found out the truth, he was very happy that his mother was still alive and by his side. Zhang De grabbed the beautiful woman’s hand and smiled.
“Mom, I’m didn’t come back alone today. I’ve brought my classmate home with me.”
The beautiful woman nodded with a smile. Although her son was not in any danger all these years, she felt a little guilty towards him. After all, which child did not wish their mother by their side? She had also heard that Zhang De did not get along with his classmates. Since he brought a classmate home, things must have gotten better.
The beautiful woman said, “Yes, I’ve heard about that!”
The beautiful woman then turned and looked at Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao, but she acted stunned as if she was meeting Su Jin for the first time. Now was not the time for them to recognize each other. The beautiful woman could not do anything about it. She could only pretend that she did not know them at all.
The beautiful woman looked at Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao with a stunned expression and sighed, “These two classmates of yours are magnificent. They’re even better looking than those celebrities on TV!”
Su Jin looked carefully at the beautiful woman in front of her. She was indeed her mom, but why didn’t she recognize her? Su Jin was sure that she was her mom; she knew her mother well. But she felt a little strange when she heard the woman’s words. Su Jin went up and looked at the beautiful woman with a troubled expression.
“Mom, do you not recognize me?”
Jiang Xiaoman looked at Su Jin. She really couldn’t acknowledge Su Jin at the moment. There were still things to be dealt with. Once she acknowledged Su Jin, it was very likely that all of them would die. Therefore, Jiang Xiaoman could only pretend that she didn’t know anything, and she didn’t know Su Jin at all.
Jiang Xiaoman said to Su Jin with a calm expression, “Girl, do you like our Zhang De? Would you like to be my daughter-in-law?”
Su Jin frowned. This woman was definitely mother, but why was she playing dumb? Now that she had Xi Chenxiao, she felt quite safe. There was no danger at all. Could her mother have other reasons? But whatever the reason, she should just say it!
Su Jin replied calmly, “Mom, stop pretending. I know it’s you!”
When Jiang Xiaoman heard this, she did not know how to answer. She was even nervous, but she absolutely could not recognize Su Jin. When Zhang De saw this, he quickly pulled Su Jin away and then held Jiang Xiaoman’s hand, or Su Jin would easily see through it.
Zhang De acted slightly unhappy as he said, “Su Jin, aren’t you here for dinner? Why are you trying to steal my mom?”
Su Jin ignored Zhang De completely. There must be a reason why her mom was doing this! However, she didn’t know why Zhang De was also calling her “mom”? How was this possible? Su Jin looked straight ahead as if she had seen through everything.
She looked intensely at Jiang Xiaoman, hoping to see something as she said, “Mom, I don’t know why you’re acting this way. Do you have a reason?”
“If there’s a reason, just say it. I can figure out a way to help you!”
A trace of panic flashed in Jiang Xiaoman’s eyes when she heard this. She was afraid that Su Jin would see through her, so she quickly calmed down and continued her act of not recognizing Su Jin at all.
She looked at Su Jin helplessly with a surprised face and said quickly, “Girl, are you like the last person who mistook me for someone else?”
“I’m Zhang De’s mom. Why are you calling me ‘mom’? Is it because I look like your mother?”
Su Jin couldn’t accept this at all. There’s no way she had mistaken her mom for someone else. This woman was her mom. Could it be amnesia from her injury? Or was she really not her mom?
Su Jin staggered, and her face turned pale. But she continued to ask in disbelief, “Are you really not my mom?”
