Chapter 1645: Chapter 1647: Can We Depart?
Chiang Xiao ca back to her senses and looked at Cheng Cheng, saying, “So you’re out here being a Supervisor Guard, leaving him alone at ho, is that okay?”
“I asked him to co out, but he refused,” Cheng Cheng said helplessly. “He said it’s safe there. I send money back every month and have an auntie take care of him. Also, he writes to , and I brought the latest letter with . Do you want to see it?”
Cheng Cheng took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to her.
Chiang Xiao looked at the letter and took a deep breath.
She had seen the handwriting of that young man Old Bai ntioned, so just by looking at the characters on the envelope, she recognized it was the sa handwriting.
She pulled out the letter, which was just a thin single sheet, and the content only filled half a page.
However, the handwriting was incredibly beautiful, elegant, and refined. Although it was similar to what she had seen before, it showed progress and was much more orderly.
“Ah Cheng, Zhan Xinan. It has been half a month since I received the letter, and due to bad weather, my headaches have worsened lately, so I have been slow to pick up the pen and reply. But, do not worry, I am feeling better today…”
A few short sentences still carried the tone of olden days.
However, it truly did not seem like a letter written by soone with intellectual deficiencies.
The signature was only a single character, ‘Liu.’
Chiang Xiao read the letter twice, and suddenly her eyes felt a bit warm.
Cheng Cheng looked at her and said, “I’ve told you everything I can. Can you tell
now what your relationship with your foster father is? Why are you looking for him?”
Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip, looked at him, and asked, “Haven’t you looked into ?”
Cheng Cheng suddenly smiled, “Why would I look into you? Besides, after I ca to City M, Officer ng has been watching . If I investigated you, he would tear
apart first. I don’t know where Officer ng learned his skills; I thought I was already quite strong, but I can never beat him.”
“Well, you don’t stand a chance,” ng Xinian glanced at him.
He suddenly thought of a question. Ah Liu was undoubtedly Chiang Xiao’s biological father, but he was Cheng Cheng’s foster father, so by this relation—
Cheng Cheng beca Chiang Xiaoxiao’s brother?
Why does he feel so displeased about that?
“He might be my father,” Chiang Xiao took a deep breath, returned the letter to Cheng Cheng, and said, “I am an illegitimate child, and for so many years, I’ve never known who my biological father was. Only recently I found my grandparents’ daughter, learned the truth from those years, and thus stumbled upon a clue.”
Hearing her roundabout introduction and the fact that she referred to her mother as “grandparents’ daughter,” Cheng Cheng realized that Chiang Xiao’s background might be quite complicated.
Moreover, her biological mother must have been unreliable; otherwise, why wouldn’t Chiang Xiao acknowledge her?
He himself was an orphan and knew the hardships and sorrows of being parentless.
Looking at Chiang Xiao, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of compassion.
Although she had her grandparents, from what he had seen and heard recently, it seed that Chiang Xiao was the one supporting the family, so she must have had a tough ti all these years.
“I’ll take you back to et him.”
Chiang Xiao stood up, “Can you set off now?”
Cheng Cheng looked at ng Xinian.
“If Officer ng doesn’t give
any trouble, I can.” His secondnt task should already be completed.
ng Xinian also stood up, “I’ll go with you, but first, I need to return to the barracks. Little, just be patient a bit longer, two hours, okay?”
