Chapter 1436: Chapter 1438: Why Not Return
Kuang Yun Xian also smiled, “Maybe so. My mother remarried early, and I don’t have much of an impression of her anymore. I’ve always seen my aunt as my real mother, and she’s treated
as her own.”
So, his gentle nature was thankfully attributed to Aunt Kong.
But the situation in the Kong Family was complex. Could it be that woman they were referring to?
Could that woman be the cause of all the chaos in the Kong Family?
“That woman, she said she was going to Capital City to find soone?”
“Mhm, but it’s been over a decade, and she still hasn’t found them.”
“Doesn’t she co back ho?” Chiang Xiao found it very strange, “Does she not have a ho anymore?”
“I’m not sure about that. My aunt asked her, but every ti Uncle would speak up for her, saying that it was her painful past, and told my aunt not to pressure her about it anymore. So, nobody asked her again.”
Hearing this, Chiang Xiao, for so reason, thought of her own mother, Chiang Qingzhu.
She had no idea whether Chiang Qingzhu was dead or alive. If she was still living, could she be like the woman in the Kong Family, not wanting to return ho at all?
But how could that be possible?
The woman dealt with her painful past. Chiang Qingzhu did not. Her grandparents had pampered her from a young age, treating her like a precious gem. A girl from a mountain village who couldn’t do any chores, at seventeen or eighteen, hadn’t even a callus on her fingers, couldn’t even cook rice. Who else could it be but Chiang Qingzhu?
Even she used to help her grandfather dry herbs and such when she was a child, at least she knew how to cook.
But Chiang Qingzhu truly never had to lift a finger, it was said that she scarcely even swept the floor at ho.
With such doting parents, yet she chose not to return ho without being hurt, sick, amnesiac, or controlled by soone. That would truly be heartless.
“Xiao Chiang?” Seeing her in a daze, Kuang Yun Xian raised his voice slightly, “What are you thinking about?”
Chiang Xiao candidly replied, “I was thinking about my mother. After all these years, there’s still no news about her, her life or death is uncertain. I’m wondering if she could also be staying at soone else’s place for over a decade and not coming back?”
Kuang Yun Xian had never thought of this possibility.
Hearing her say this, he rembered the situation at Chiang Xiao’s ho, and thinking of her background, he felt sowhat at a loss for words.
He had the urge to pat her head to comfort her, but thinking she might not need his comfort, he ultimately did not stretch out his hand, and just softly smiled and said, “In the future, when you and Xinian start a small family together, live your life well. With Xinian looking after and pampering you, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”
Yes, having Xinian to protect her was enough.
Xinian was also very reliable.
Chiang Xiao nodded her head, “Yes, truthfully, I really don’t mind whether I have parents or not.”
“Old Bai ntioned soone, have you gotten any news on your end?” Kuang Yun Xian had also visited her ho during the New Year, and that was when he had heard about that person.
But it’s been a good half year since, and still, there was no news.
Chiang Xiao humd in acknowledgnt.
“Nothing.”
“I’ve also asked people to inquire about it, but we haven’t seen any progress yet.”
Back then, he had proactively offered to help, but there had been no leads in the circle of calligraphy.
“It’s okay, there’s no rush,” Chiang Xiao consoled him in return, “After all these years, if she can be found, then let’s find her; if not, then let it be.”
As they chatted, they reached the bus stop, and Kuang Yun Xian led her onto the bus.
