If the Leaangle Family had not experienced that upheaval, Ying Zijin would not have ended up drifting to Continent O, nor would she have gone to the Ying Family.
Her daughter was meant to grow up peacefully and healthily.
How did she endure so much suffering?
"I’m sorry..." Su Wen tightly embraced the girl, tears falling again, "I’m sorry, Mom let you be left alone at such a young age, bullied by many, and suffered so much."
Ying Zijin’s body trembled again, she murmured, "... Mom?"
This term was always unfamiliar to her, a word she had never spoken.
Yet now, she could feel this warmth.
Su Wen’s eyes widened, somewhat in disbelief, "Yaoyao, can you call me ’Mom’ once more?"
"Mom." Ying Zijin’s eyelashes lowered, she raised her hand to embrace the woman, repeating, "Mom, I’m back."
No wonder her hand kept trembling when she was saving Su Wen.
The surgery wasn’t hard, yet it was the most challenging she had done, afraid of missing a single stitch.
This was a bond rooted in their bloodline.
Su Wen couldn’t hold it anymore, she sobbed, "Yes, yes, you’re back, you saved Mom, you’re really amazing."
This was her daughter.
Not a cold tomb, she stood right in front of her, alive.
Eyes like hers, brows like Luyan.
She should have discovered this earlier.
Su Wen grasped the girl’s wrist, her eyes full of heartache, "Does it still hurt?"
Ying Zijin paused, "You found out."
She paused again, smiling slightly, "It hasn’t hurt for a long time."
"How could it not hurt." Su Wen’s eyes reddened again, "You had so much blood drawn, how could it not hurt."
She didn’t understand how Ying Zijin got to the Ying Family.
But obviously, because of the gene lock, the Ying Family had always regarded Ying Zijin as their biological daughter.
Yet they could do such things.
It’s simply unimaginable, over one year, her daughter had endured so much suffering.
Su Wen stroked the girl’s head, "You’re back, Mom won’t let you suffer anymore."
Ying Zijin smiled silently, "I believe you."
Time was serene, the atmosphere tranquil.
Su Wen still held her, this time with tears of joy, "My Yaoyao..."
"Mom, when the Ying Family took me back, they did a paternity test." Ying Zijin lifted her head, frowning slightly, "It must have matched, otherwise they wouldn’t have taken me back."
Her test results with Su Wen matched successfully, so what was happening on the Ying Family’s side?
"It’s the gene lock." Su Wen slowly spoke, recounting the contents Qing Lang mentioned in a letter, "Your dad brought you the gene lock."
Ying Zijin fell silent, after a while, she whispered, "So that’s it."
After dying in the original Spirit Cultivation World, she reincarnated here on Earth.
She only regained her memories and some strength in the winter of 2020, not because her consciousness was dormant, but because of the gene lock.
Ying Zijin looked at her arm.
The needle marks were long gone.
The passage of time was long, full of hardship.
She has lived for so long without any biological relatives.
No matter what, in this life, Su Wen was her mother.
Mentioning the Ying Family, Su Wen thought of an important question, "Yaoyao, will you change your surname?"
Ying Zijin shook her head slightly, "My Ying is not the Ying Family’s Ying, and my name was given by Dad and friends."
"Tanxin·Leaangle is also my name, Mom, you can call me whatever you like."
Su Wen knew that the dad she referred to was her adoptive father, Wen Fengmian.
"Then it won’t be changed." Su Wen didn’t press further, she smiled, "Anyway, what the surname is doesn’t matter, as long as you’re here."
It’s enough, you’re here.
Ying Zijin lowered her head, her eyelashes slightly trembling.
She had never shared this with Fu Yunshen.
He was also her light.
Willing to help her when she was deeply trapped in the Ying Family’s quagmire.
"Yaoyao, don’t cry, don’t cry." Su Wen panicked, "If you’re wronged, tell Mom, okay?"
Ying Zijin lifted her head slightly, she chuckled lightly, "Not wronged, just very happy."
Because when she lost her "heart," it took away her emotions, memories, and essential strength, she was always reserved.
