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

Chapter 423 "So, you mean your mother might not have died back then?!"

Sheng Xinhao said this because he was overjoyed.

You know, he had said a long time ago that they should bring the children back to the old house when they had time.

As a result, the children did come, but the couple never came even once.

Although Sheng Xinhao was disappointed, he knew that the fault lay entirely with him.

They didn't dare say anything more.

Now, they've suddenly appeared.

This surprised and delighted Sheng Xinhao.

But it was nighttime, and he was worried that their late arrival meant something urgent had happened.
Based on his understanding of Ah-Xi, that should be the case.

That's why he asked that question subconsciously just now.

Hearing him say that, Sheng Zexi didn't say anything more.

He pulled Gu Jianing down to sit.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xinhao brewed tea for them.

Sheng Zexi ignored his busy schedule and immediately noticed the photo album on the sofa. He saw a family of three in the photos.

Sheng Zexi pressed his lips even tighter.

He tightened his grip on Gu Jianing's hand slightly.

So, he was thinking about his mother too, wasn't he?

Gu Jianing took the photo album and flipped through it carefully.

Sheng Zexi was also watching from the side.

He flipped through this photo album countless times after his mother died.

When he was about to join the army, he thought he would take this photo album with him.

However, the album also contained photos of the old man he disliked, so in the end, Sheng Zexi only took one photo of himself with his mother.

The photo album has been kept ever since.

Previously, he had always thought that the old man had married a new woman, and that the photo album was likely lost or sealed away.

Later, Xingxing and Yueyue told me that the photo album had always been there.

At that time, Sheng Zexi wondered what the old man was thinking.
Didn't he marry a new person within a year? Why is he still keeping this photo album?
Sheng Zexi sipped his tea, lost in thought.

A silence fell over the living room.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Gu Jianing looked at Sheng Zexi and tugged at his hand.

Sheng Zexi then came to his senses. He looked at the old man who was staring at him expectantly and said, "I did come tonight because I have something to discuss."

Sheng Xinhao: He knew that his son's personality was quite good.

After the two of them had such a falling out, this kid definitely wouldn't come to see his father unless he had something to say.

However, Sheng Xinhao also knew that this was not Sheng Zexi's fault.

"What's the matter? Ask."

Sheng Zexi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to ask, what was the whole process of my mother's death? Did you watch her breathe her last and watch her cremation?"

Sheng Xinhao was stunned. He didn't expect that Sheng Zexi would come so late at night to ask about Sang Yuwan.

Despite his doubts, Sheng Xinhao couldn't help but recall the events.

“Back then, when I went to guard the border, your mother didn’t approve of her going.”

"But she still insisted on going."

"Firstly, I was there for a longer period of time, and she wanted to stay with me. Secondly, she was a journalist herself and wanted to report on the war zone at that time, so she insisted on going with me."

Helpless, Sang Yuwan eventually went to the border with him.

"...I didn't expect the plague to break out, nor did I expect that she would get infected after going on an interview together."

"I consulted many doctors, but none of them could help."

"Even when I later found a doctor in Country A who specializes in treating infectious diseases, it was to no avail."

“At that time, Awan had been sick for 7 days, with a persistent high fever, and she was completely confused.”

“She was very ill and couldn’t even get out of bed.” “On the 8th day, Dr. Henry from country A said that Awan was dying and asked me to say goodbye to her.”

"and many more!"

As Sheng Xinhao was immersed in reminiscing, Sheng Zexi suddenly interrupted him.

"You said the doctor from country A that you invited to see my mother was named Henry?"

Sheng Xinhao nodded, "Yes, let's call him Henry."

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips; he was now half certain that his mother was still alive.

Sheng Zexi clenched his fists slightly, unable to contain his excitement.

Over here, Sheng Xinhao didn't know why Sheng Zexi asked that question, but he continued, "By the ninth day, Awan really couldn't hold on any longer."

"She kept calling your name before she closed her eyes."

Sheng Xinhao looked at Sheng Zexi.

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips, imagining that scene, and clenched his fists even tighter.

“I watched Ah Wan breathe her last,” Sheng Xinhao said finally.

Sheng Zexi's brows furrowed almost instantly.

Gu Jianing, however, didn't find anything strange about it.

After all, under certain circumstances, or under the influence of drugs, it is possible for a person to enter a state of suspended animation.

“I wanted to bring Awan back to China for burial, but because Awan was infected with an infectious disease, cremation was the only option.”

"At that time, too many people died because of this infectious disease."

"Cremation is carried out uniformly."

"However, they were still separated. I saw Awan being pushed into the crematorium with my own eyes. I waited outside, and after I finished, they called me in to collect Awan's ashes."

At that time, Sheng Xinhao and Sang Yuwan were in love.

The feelings are very deep.

Therefore, when Sheng Xinhao held Sang Yuwan's ashes, the heartache he felt was indescribable.

Sheng Zexi grasped the key point: "So you didn't actually see my mother being pushed in to be burned, right?"

Sheng Xinhao frowned, but still nodded and said, "Yes."

"Didn't you ever consider that that person might not be my mother?" Sheng Zexi retorted.

Sheng Xinhaoteng stood up abruptly, instinctively retorting, "How could that be!"

“Why not!” Sheng Zexi looked at him indifferently.

"Today, Ningning took the children to the airport to see my third brother-in-law off to study abroad. Do you know who Xingxing met at the airport?"

Sheng Xinhao didn't understand why Sheng Zexi suddenly brought up other things.

Seeing Sheng Xinhao's confused look, Sheng Zexi continued, "When Xingxing went to the toilet, she was bumped into by someone when she came out."

"That was a woman. The first time Xingxing saw her, she called her Grandma!"

grandmother? !
Sheng Xinhao was stunned. The only person Xingxing could call "Grandma" was...

But, how is this possible!

"Later, a foreign man came and took the woman away. The woman whom Xingxing called Grandma, who called herself Awan."

"And that foreign man's name is Henry!"

"You just said that the doctor from Country A who treated my mother was named Henry."

"Do you think this could be the same person?"

Sheng Xinhao stood there, his eyes filled with shock.

Almost instantly, Sheng Xinhao understood what Sheng Zexi meant.

Upon realizing his meaning, Sheng Xinhao's hands trembled almost instantly.

Is that what he thought?
is it possible?
If it's true, then...

"So, you mean your mother might not have died back then?!"
