Chapter 1876: Chapter 1812: Gratitude
Chiang Xiao was stunned again.
"It seems there are only four years left." Chen Baoshen held up four fingers, then lowered his voice, "Although it sounds like four years remain, think about it, they’ve already waited for twenty years. In reality, do the Jiang Family or the Lu Family truly believe the Sixth Young Master can return? So, all these years, Miss Lu has tacitly accepted that a child from the Jiang Family will be her and the Sixth Young Master’s legal and nominal son in the future. Keep an eye on this, I heard that the child and his sister have a very good relationship with Miss Lu."
"Grandpa Chen, is this all hearsay?"
"Ahem," Chen Baoshen coughed twice, took a couple sips of tea, and then spoke to her again: "I didn’t say anything to you."
He wasn’t soone who gossiped, never speaking of what he’d heard.
But when it ca to Chiang Xiao, he always wanted to help and protect her in so way.
Over there were the formidable Jiang Family, Li Family, and Lu Family, all figures whom the ordinary people considered as heavenly.
Chiang Xiao?
Just one person.
She has grandparents, but they’re too honest and kind-hearted, incapable of protecting her in the slightest.
What about her husband’s family? Look at how the ng Family treated her before.
Renjing City echoed with nurous jokes about her.
It’s hard enough finding her biological father, who’s still suffering from injuries in his brain, with an unknown crystal there, leaving his fate uncertain, and this burden now rests upon Chiang Xiao’s shoulders alone.
Yet, this young girl with no one to rely on has rushed into the deep mountains to find dicine for Old Master Jiang.
There’s Officer ng by her side, but how much ti can he truly spend with her?
In Chen Baoshen’s view, though ng Xinian was good to Chiang Xiao, he never spent much ti with her each year, leaving everything for Chiang Xiao to handle alone.
How could he not help her in whatever way he could?
So, whatever he heard, he told Chiang Xiao. After all, these are things she should know sooner or later, and it’s better she knows now to prepare ntally.
"Thank you, Grandpa Chen."
Chiang Xiao was very grateful to Chen Baoshen.
She knew Chen Baoshen truly cared about her and was concerned for her.
In this lifeti, eting such an elder was her good fortune.
Though many she encountered along the way troubled her, ones like Chen Baoshen brightened a part of her heart.
"No need to thank ." Chen Baoshen waved his hand and said to her, "I’ll keep an eye on things here; go ahead, you haven’t talked with the Sixth Young Master yet."
Chiang Xiao ca out and t ng Xinian’s gaze. Before she could speak, he had reached out to gently tousle her hair.
"All done talking?"
"Mm."
"Let’s go." ng Xinian put his arm around her shoulder and led her outside.
Chen Yiping, who was always handling the dicinal herbs they brought, was surprised by their closeness and then smiled slightly.
It seed that the relationship between ng Xinian and Chiang Xiao was genuinely good.
Ah Liu had been waiting for Chiang Xiao for quite a while.
Seeing her return now, he imdiately stood up and said to Jiang Yingqiong, "Sis, we’ll be heading back now."
He had just told her that once Chiang Xiao returned, they would go ho first.
"Can’t you let
chat with Little for a bit?" Jiang Yingqiong looked at Chiang Xiao and asked, "Is Doctor Chen preparing the dicine?"
"We’ve found all the herbs this ti; Grandpa Chen and Doctor Xiao Chen are busy."
"You’ve worked hard, Little, you helped a lot, are you exhausted? During this trip into the mountains, did you encounter any danger?" Jiang Yingqiong sincerely showed concern for Chiang Xiao.
