Chapter 542: It’s Not Your Fault

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Long’s eyes reddened slightly when he heard Su Jin’s words. If he wasn’t young and rash back then, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. His younger sister Jiang Xiaoman wouldn’t have died in an accident; she wouldn’t have married that scumbag, Su Beijiang. Jiang Long felt that everything was his fault.
“Su Jin, it’s all my fault. I wasn’t thoughtful back then. If I had just taken your mom with me, your mom wouldn’t have married that scumbag, and she wouldn’t be…”
Su Jin’s face darkened when she heard this. No one had expected things to turn out this way. However, when Su Jin held her mom earlier, her precognition didn’t show her mom’s death at all. But she couldn’t find her mom anywhere. Su Jin looked at Jiang Long and said with a complicated expression,
“Uncle, don’t be too sad. This matter isn’t your fault. Mom chose it herself.”
Jiang Long looked at Su Jin in surprise. He thought that Su Jin would blame him for everything that happened, but she didn’t; she even consoled him. This child was so mature and lovable. Jiang Long looked at Su Jin and said in surprise,!!
“Su Jin, it was Uncle who didn’t take good care of your mom. Don’t you blame me?”
Su Jin shook her head. There must have been reasons for what happened back then. What’s the use of blaming her uncle when she didn’t even know if her mom was alive or dead now? She should just be at peace with her uncle, who’s her only family. But what exactly happened back then? Why did her mom never mention her own brother? Su Jin asked curiously,
“Uncle, I don’t blame you. I’m just curious. If you cared so much about my mom, why haven’t you been in touch all these years?”
Jiang Long sighed. There were too many reasons for what had happened back then. Initially, it was in a fit of anger that he left, but later, he didn’t return to the Jiang family because of his pride. Jiang Long didn’t even go back when the old master passed away. He only paid his respects from afar. Jiang Long sat next to Su Jin and said,
“It was my fault back then. I knew long ago that Su Beijiang was not as good as he appeared to be. However, no matter how much I tried to persuade your mom and your grandfather, they refused to believe me. They both thought that Su Beijiang was a good person. I left the Jiang family in a fit of anger and cut off all ties with them.”
“If I had been more rational back then, I would have been able to stop your mom from getting together with Su Beijiang. Your mom wouldn’t have met with such an accident now!”
Jiang Long shed tears of regret as he spoke. Why was he so impulsive back then? Why was he so angry? He could have prevented everything from happening. It was his fault for being so immature. Su Jin saw her uncle crying so sadly and knew that he really felt sad for her mom. She handed her uncle a tissue and said calmly,
“Uncle, my mom’s body hasn’t been found yet. I think she isn’t dead at all, so don’t lose hope.”
Jiang Long was stunned when he heard this. But the news had already reported the accident… Why would they do that if there was no body? However, Su Jin wouldn’t joke about her mom. Jiang Long looked at Su Jin in shock and asked,
“Are you sure? You haven’t seen your mom’s body?”
Su Jin nodded. Of course, she hadn’t seen it. No one knew where her mom’s body had gone. That was why Su Jin felt that her mom was most likely in hiding. The assassins that were there the other day were all professionals. Who sent them? Jiang Long frowned and said,
“If your mom didn’t die in an accident, why is there a headstone for her at the cemetery? I went to see your mom just now. I just came back from the cemetery.”
Su Jin stood up in surprise when she heard this. If her mom really died in an accident, someone would have informed her but she didn’t receive any notice at all. Su Jin’s face turned colder as she asked her uncle,
“There’s actually a headstone for my mom? Who set it up?”
Jiang Long was also surprised. He had just visited his sister’s grave, but Su Jin said that Jiang Xiaoman might not be dead at all. Could they have imagined the whole thing? How was this possible? Jiang Long had assumed that his sister’s headstone was set up by Su Jin, but Su Jin didn’t know about it at all. Jiang Long said in surprise,
“I always thought that you were the one who set up the headstone. If it’s not you, could it be Su Beijiang?”
