Chapter 1804: Chapter 1740: Secret Exchange
"That day’s events, I can’t rember them clearly, but Little, can you tell
why you hate her? Can you talk to
about what happened back then now?"
Chiang Xiao pressed her lips together, "Dad, are you sure you want to know?"
"I want to know. After you finish, I also have a secret to tell you, Little, believe , the secret I’m about to share will be even more unbelievable than what you’re going to say next."
Chiang Xiao hesitated for a mont again.
Ah Liu winked at her, saying, "This is like a secret for a secret."
The originally heavy topic seed a bit fun after he said that.
Anyway, seeing him able to speak so lightly, Chiang Xiao felt a slight relief at heart.
"Dad, wait for
a mont." She stood up, walked out, and soon ca back with a bottle of potion.
"Drink this potion first, then I’ll speak."
"What, afraid that Dad can’t handle the blow?" Despite saying this, Ah Liu still took the bottle of potion and drank it in one gulp.
Compared to ordinary potions, the taste was incredibly good; it couldn’t even be considered a potion.
Yet, oddly enough, the effect was remarkable.
After drinking the potion, Ah Liu looked at Chiang Xiao, indicating she could speak.
Chiang Xiao sat across from him, her voice slightly deepening.
"My biological mother is nad Chiang Qingzhu. She was the most beautiful girl in the ten-mile radius of Peace Town, and many n had thoughts about her. One day, she encountered a rogue from the village while outside. The rogue wanted to take advantage of her, so she ran into the mountains and into a cave, where she t a young man hiding from the rain."
At this point, she looked at Ah Liu, unsure if he rembered this part.
"So, back then, was there a bad person chasing her?"
Ah Liu asked this, which indicated he rembered.
Indeed, since he already rembered Chen Zhu’s appearance, he should have recalled so of it.
The events that followed, she didn’t know how to narrate, so she glossed over it with a single sentence, "At that ti, you both had a fever. Later, Chiang Qingzhu admitted, it was her initiative, then..."
"Ahem." Ah Liu felt a bit awkward hearing this, yet he truthfully said, "I don’t rember. I only recall waking up and thinking I should leave quickly. I couldn’t stay in the mountains, and that place didn’t feel safe, so I left."
"Yes, that’s how it was."
Ah Liu looked at Chiang Xiao with much guilt, "It’s irresponsible of Dad not knowing of your existence. These years, you and your mother suffered. Was it because you were born out of wedlock, and your mother endured too many rumors, leading her to treat you badly?"
Chiang Xiao shook her head, "She didn’t take care of
after giving birth. When I was a little over two, she ran off, saying she was going to find you and never ca back after that."
Chiang Xiao stopped there and said no more.
She couldn’t bring herself to speak about Chen Zhu’s subsequent experiences and current situation.
Letting Ah Liu know how wretched Chen Zhu beca would indeed upset him. She didn’t want to give him a headache.
"To find ?" Ah Liu was montarily stunned, and his temples suddenly started throbbing with pain again.
Of course, he also knew Chen Zhu never found him, as in all those years he rembered, there was no sign of her.
But, is she now missing?
"Do you hate her because she abandoned you and your grandparents?"
"Yes." Chiang Xiao said, "Also, she... took advantage of you back then."
