Mrs. Zhang Si didn't mind my unpleasant question at all.
She raised her eyelids and turned to look at me. Her deep eyes were filled with a mist, yet seemed to be filled with surging waves. Her expression was extremely complicated.
After a moment, she slowly shook her head: "No, I haven't found her yet."
I breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her: "You will find her, Madam will definitely find her."
But after saying this, I regretted it.
It has been twenty years. With the Chen family’s connections and strength, if they could have found him, they would have found him long ago. The fact that they haven’t found him for so long means that the person has…
I said the wrong thing again.
When people are in a panic, they should really shut their mouths and say nothing. I think every sentence I said was wrong.
But the corners of Mrs. Zhang Si's lips curved into a gentle smile, and her beautiful phoenix eyes were also filled with a gleam of light. Her gaze was completely focused on my face, full of tenderness and warmth: "Yes, she will, I believe she will come back one day."
"Yeah." I nodded vigorously.
Fortunately, although I said the wrong thing, Mrs. Zhang Si didn’t care.
But this time I learned my lesson and I didn't say anything.
Mrs. Zhang Si seemed to have calmed down a lot. She smiled and spoke in a more relaxed tone: "Okay, it's all in the past. Look, these scars have been healed for a long time. I will repair them and they will no longer be visible. Don't worry, don't be sad."
How can I not be sad?
The wound has formed a scar, but it has not healed. Even if medical means are used to remove the scars, they can no longer be seen on the skin, but the wounds are still in the heart.
Just looking at the expression on Mrs. Zhang Si's face just now, you can tell that the pain has only been hidden temporarily, but as long as you think about it, the pain is still there and very deep.
I feel deeply sorry and regretful. If I had known earlier I should not have asked these questions, I should not have opened up other people's scars and made her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing her in pain, I felt even more pain than she did.
I was also worried that if I opened her scars today, it would have a series of impacts on her emotions, and then my sin would be even greater.
But Madam Zhang Si was looking at me with a smile, not seeming to be under any pressure at all, so I could only cooperate with her and nodded: "Okay."
I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that the gods would bless Madam Zhang Si and help her find her lost daughter as soon as possible. I also hoped that the gods would protect her, so that she could live a peaceful life for the rest of her life and heal her old wounds.
"Okay, I've finished talking about my own business. It's my turn to ask Xuxu." At this moment, Mrs. Zhang Si suddenly grabbed my wrist and said softly, "What's the matter with the injury on your wrist?"
The injury on my wrist?
I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked down, and unexpectedly found that the wristband on my wrist was loose, revealing a hideous scar underneath the wristband.
Bright red and twisted.
It is a scar similar to the one on Mrs. Zhang Si’s wrist.
My mind went blank at this moment, but I quickly pulled my hand back from Madam Zhang Si's hand, quickly adjusted the wristband, and tightly wrapped the exposed scar.
"I'm sorry, Xuxu. I was too abrupt and shouldn't have asked that." Perhaps my reaction scared Mrs. Zhang Si, and she quickly came to support my shoulders and apologized repeatedly.
Her voice was hurried and full of deep apology.
But then I realized that my reaction was too extreme and scared her.
In fact, I don't blame her at all. I know very well in my heart that Madam Zhang Si loves me and truly cares about me and treats me well. She asked about the scar on my wrist because she was really worried about me, just like I was worried about her just now. She didn't have any other intentions.
"It's okay ma'am," I quickly reassured her.
"I'm really sorry. When I was putting the bracelet on you that day, I accidentally knocked your wristband crooked. I noticed the scar underneath and wanted to know what happened." Mrs. Zhang Si was still looking at me nervously and apologizing. "I guessed something unhappy must have happened. I originally wanted to wait for Xuxu to tell me herself, but I couldn't help asking just now, which made Xuxu sad..."
She spoke so anxiously and carefully, and I could see that she felt sorry for me.
I understand her feelings, but I have become accustomed to covering up my scars and hiding them from outsiders.
No one else knew the story of these scars except my aunt, uncle and Youhe, so when Madam Zhang Si first asked me about it, my reaction was so intense.
"My grandmother raised me since I was a child. She was just an ordinary old lady without any special abilities. She picked up scraps everywhere to support me and supported me all the way to college. I thought I could finally give back to her after graduating from college, but she died unexpectedly just after I graduated from college." I interrupted her softly and looked up at her, "I couldn't accept this fact, so I ended up like this."
This matter is not known to outsiders, but I don’t mind Mrs. Zhang Si knowing it.
Mrs. Zhang Si's eyes were filled with heartache: "Silly child, you are so pitiful. No wonder I always feel that you are hurt. At first I thought you were hurt like this by that brat Zhou Hanzhi."
Zhou Hanzhi?
Madam Zhang Si suddenly mentioned this name, and my heart, which had been trying to remain calm, suddenly began to waver again.
What I told Mrs. Zhang Si was indeed true. The scar on my wrist was caused by the great shock I suffered after my grandmother's accidental death.
But Mrs. Zhang Si's initial guess was actually not wrong.
All the blows I suffered at the beginning were closely related to Zhou Hanzhi, or in other words, it was because of him that my grandmother got into trouble. Zhou Hanzhi was the key to everything.
No, Zhou Hanzhi is not the key, the key is me.
It’s because I was in love with Zhou Hanzhi that grandma got into trouble!
It's me, I am the culprit.
Pain filled the air, regret hit my heart, and I couldn't help but clench my fingers.
"Xuxu, what's wrong with you?" Madam Zhang Si's gentle call sounded in my ears, waking me up from my immersion.
"I'm fine." I came back to my senses, immediately let go of my hand, and smiled at her. "Zhou Hanzhi was just a foolish thing I did when I was young. I have already let him go. Madam, let's not mention him in the future, okay?"
I really don't want to have anything to do with Zhou Hanzhi anymore, and I don't want to bring myself unnecessary trouble because of this person.
"Okay, let's not talk about him." Mrs. Zhang Si agreed, and then joked with me, "I will mention Xiao Ye more often in the future."
I burst out laughing and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
After taking the herbal bath, I went into the health cabin for a steam bath. When I came out, I felt refreshed and comfortable all over.
Xiao Su came in and said that the meal was ready in the kitchen, so Mrs. Zhang Si took my hand and went to eat.
Just like last time, there was a table full of food, but the variety was different. When I looked carefully, I saw that many of them were tonic foods.
