Chapter 1522: Chapter 1524: Him in Memory (for Anitaqing+)

Chiang Xiao felt like cursing upon hearing those words.

How convenient.

To abandon her father, leave behind her frail young daughter, disappear for fifteen years, and then with a simple excuse of hardship, everyone is supposed to forgive her, understand her, coddle her, and even comfort her?

Does she, Chiang Qingzhu, rule the world? Or does she hold the entire Milky Way in her hands? Is she the center of the universe?

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but sneer.

"So, I should at least know my own origin, right? What actually happened back then?"

Chiang Qingzhu, whatever her situation was, Chiang Xiao didn’t really care. If it had been her past self, she might have been moved to tears, angrily questioning her why she left, why she abandoned her, and would have lamented about the grievances and injuries she suffered growing up, but not now.

She just wanted to know what had really happened back then, who her biological father was.

Chiang Qingzhu quickly said, "You, your dad is called Ah Liu!"

"Full name." Chiang Xiao’s face was expressionless, and she was already struggling to tolerate the name Ah Liu.

"I, I don’t know."

Chiang Xiao glared at her, taking a deep breath, "With a man whose real name even you don’t know, you just got... involved with him?"

She originally wanted to say "slept together", but removed that word just as she was about to say it.

After all, she is still her birth mother.

She persuaded herself.

Chiang Qingzhu’s gaze became somewhat nostalgic and a bit bewildered as if she was lost in memories.

Unconcerned about Kuang Kanzhi being next to her, she started speaking in a soft voice about that period from the past.

"At that time, I was only seventeen, about as old as you are now. One day I went out to pick wildflowers, and I met that Lee Shu from the village... Lee Shu, Little, do you remember him? Is he still in the village now?"

Chiang Xiao frowned.

Lee Shu, Old Lee.

How could she not remember?

Once during an argument with Niu Guiying, it was said that whenever she went to the grocery store run by Old Lee and just smiled at him, Old Lee would give her extra items, accusing her of seducing Old Lee.

Later, Zhao Xin also mentioned seeing Old Lee flipping through indecent books when giving directions.

Subsequently, after seeing them return from Bai Gu Mountain with many treasures, Old Lee also followed Sun Laoliu and the others there, and a giant serpent she had lured out scared him into fleeing down the mountain, resulting in injury.

She didn’t know Old Lee’s current situation, but the village grocery store was now run by Aunt Juan, and Old Lee was probably struggling even to sustain himself.

But she hadn’t expected that event from the past to be slightly connected to Old Lee.

"He’s not doing well in the village."

"Humph, serves him right to be in bad straits," Chiang Qingzhu said. "Back then, he saw me and sneakily tried to harm me. Then, I got scared, pushed him away, and hurriedly ran. He got up and kept chasing after me, blocking my way back to the village, forcing me to run into the mountains. I don’t know how long I ran for; suddenly it started raining, Lee Shu couldn’t keep up, and I got soaked, very scared, and couldn’t find the way back to the village."

Chiang Xiao listened without speaking.

As Chiang Qingzhu talked about this part, she didn’t seem very scared, obviously, the incident that followed had become a nostalgic memory, diluting the fear of this segment.

Indeed, she continued, saying, "And then I found a cave and hid inside, never expecting to find Ah Liu already there."

That day, while the rain poured heavily outside, she, like a frightened young deer, burst into that cave, only to discover that inside there was a fire and, beside the fire, sat a young man without a stitch on.
