Chapter 1521: Chapter 1523: Heart as Hard as Stone
Before he could finish, Chiang Qingzhu anxiously interjected, “Brother Kan, don’t leave, stay here with us; Little won’t mind it, right, Little?”
With a look of pity, she gazed at Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Qingzhu’s hand was still clutching Kuang Kanzhi’s sleeve lightly as if she was terrified of being abandoned by him.
Seeing this, a surge of frustration suddenly welled up inside Chiang Xiao.
However, Kuang Kanzhi quickly placated Chiang Qingzhu, saying, “Alright, alright, I’m not leaving, I didn’t say I would.”
Turning to Chiang Xiao with a look of helplessness, he said, “You see, Ah Zhu feels very insecure, probably because she has been too dependent on
all these years. So, if I’m not here at this mont, she truly gets anxious. So, I’ll stay. You won’t mind, right?”
Chiang Xiao scoffed sarcastically, “Since neither of you mind, what’s there for
to mind about?”
Such ambiguity and indecision are not like her.
Sensing the mockery in her words, Kuang Kanzhi’s expression darkened slightly as he said, “What’s between your mother and
is not what you think.”
“Don’t—right now I’m not even sure if she is my mother.”
Upon hearing Chiang Xiao’s words, Chiang Qingzhu’s face paled slightly, and she trembled as she asked, “Little, you… you don’t recognize ?”
Kuang Kanzhi lowered his voice and reminded, “Chiang Xiao, rember what you promised .”
“I promised to remain calm and not to raise my voice,” Chiang Xiao said, looking down, “Am I not being very gentle right now?”
She hadn’t promised to play the role of a filial daughter right now.
Tears welled up in Chiang Qingzhu’s eyes as she said, “I know, Little, you must resent , right?”
“What do you think?” Chiang Xiao retorted.
Through her teary eyes, Chiang Qingzhu gazed at her, the image of a young man erging in her mind, her grip on reality montarily slipping as she muttered uncontrollably.
“Ah Liu…”
Chiang Xiao’s expression darkened.
So to say, she really looks that much like Ah Liu?
Her fingers tapped lightly on the table as she asked, “Why haven’t you co ho all these years?”
It’s better to be straightforward; otherwise, considering Chiang Qingzhu’s state, who knows how long it would take to get a clear answer.
“Little, I… I didn’t dare to return,” Chiang Qingzhu began to cry.
Chiang Xiao: “…”
A forehead full of black lines.
Can she stop crying? Can we speak normally?
If she’s going to cry at every sentence, how long will it take to talk everything out—until the end of ti?
She also felt sowhat cold-hearted herself. Why didn’t she feel excited at all to see her birth mother? Why was there no pity or sadness when she saw her crying?
Maybe it’s because…
The pain of falling from a building in a past life was too intense.
So intense that it shattered and scattered her capacity for family affection and compassion.
Her experiences in her past life must have turned her heart as hard as stone.
Chiang Xiao turned to look at Kuang Kanzhi, suddenly feeling it might be better to ask him instead.
Kuang Kanzhi frowned slightly, also finding Chiang Xiao’s reaction difficult to comprehend.
After finally eting her birth mother, how could she remain so cold and indifferent? Even if she did hold so resentnt towards Chiang Qingzhu, shouldn’t it be more apparent? To Chiang Xiao, it seed as if she was looking at a stranger.
Apparently, she was only interested in finding out the reason why Chiang Qingzhu didn’t return ho—nothing else seed to matter to her.
“If Mr. Kuang knows sothing about her situation, could you please share?”
“Ah Zhu, she…” Kuang Kanzhi began to speak as he looked at Chiang Qingzhu, who was already pale as if unable to bear the shock.
He sighed, then changed his approach, “She has her compelling difficulties. It’s not that she doesn’t want to co ho. You just need to understand that.”
