"You're thinking of her? Isn't she your sister?" Jiang's mother narrowed her eyes, her scrutinizing gaze falling on Jiang Nanqiu.

“Mom, whether it’s true or not, she’s not the one in the wrong. She’s innocent too. I just hope you won’t tell anyone about this,” Jiang Nanqiu explained softly.

By doing this, he was protecting her, wasn't he?

However, his protection came too late.

"Fine, I won't say anything. But remember, your sister died long ago. She's not your sister." Jiang's mother's voice was cold, and her change in attitude startled Jiang Nanqiu.

"Mom? What did you just say?" What do you mean my sister died a long time ago? Wasn't my sister perfectly fine before she came?

“I said: Your sister died long ago. She wasn’t a member of the Jiang family, so naturally she wasn’t your sister.” Jiang’s mother’s eyes seemed to hold ice, making Jiang Nanqiu tremble slightly.

My sister died long ago? Then who was she?

"Sister..." Jiang Nanqiu was interrupted by her mother before she could finish speaking.

"Alright. Just know that she's not your sister, and you'd better forget about this as soon as possible." Jiang's mother didn't want to hear anything more from Jiang Nanqiu.

She stood up and left in front of Jiang Nanqiu.

Jiang Nanqiu stood there, staring blankly at his mother's retreating figure. His mother's few words had shattered his long-held beliefs.

He needs to think carefully about everything that has happened over the years.

"How is Xiaxia? Is she feeling better?" Mr. Jiang looked up at Mrs. Jiang before looking down to ask.

"Don't mention her to me, she's not my daughter." Jiang's mother, who was slowly calming down, caught her breath and spoke up angrily after hearing Jiang's father's words.

"What's wrong? Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? Didn't we agree that Xiaxia is our biological daughter?" Mr. Jiang asked, slightly surprised.

"Shut up, I've kicked her out. Now, write her a letter of introduction, and pack all her things. Tomorrow, have Wangwang go to her and give her the things." Jiang's mother took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and looked at Jiang's father seriously.

"You...sigh...okay, I understand." Father Jiang sighed.

What he feared most still happened.

It's been over ten years; he's long since come to regard that girl as his own daughter.

I raised him as my own child for over a decade, but this is still the result.

However, unable to suppress his wife's words, Mr. Jiang had no choice but to agree.

Following Jiang's mother's instructions, Jiang's father carefully prepared the letter of introduction and Jiang Anxia's identification documents.

Back then, it was my wife who said: "Let's get one just for Xiaxia, so that if anything happens, we can help her."

But I never expected it to happen so quickly.

Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, it just happened earlier.

Everything is fate! Fate that cannot be changed.

The next morning, Jiang's mother arranged for Jiang Wang to go up the mountain to find Jiang Anxia. Although Jiang Wang didn't know why his aunt would be on the mountain so early in the morning, he didn't ask anything and simply followed his mother's instructions, heading up the mountain.

Before starting work, Gu Yanzhu saw the letter Jiang Anxia had left for him. After reading what was written in the letter, Gu Yanzhu couldn't help but feel angry.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yanzhu suppressed his anger. He asked Lin Bai to help him ask for leave, and then continued walking up the mountain.

As for why everyone could guess that Jiang Anxia was on the mountain, it can only be said that Jiang Anxia herself had revealed it.

Meanwhile, Jiang Anxia, ​​who was in the space, has now left the space and is wandering around on the mountain.

She thought about it all night, and her final decision was to let things take their course.

Now that they've reached a consensus, Jiang Anxia doesn't care anymore.

Just after discovering a pheasant nest and collecting all the wild eggs, Jiang Anxia heard Jiang Wang calling her.

She couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Wang wanted from her.

"Wangwang." Jiang Anxia couldn't bear it any longer and appeared in front of Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang was overjoyed to see Jiang Anxia suddenly appear and quickly ran over to her.

"Auntie, why are you up so early today?" Jiang Wang looked at her aunt, who usually couldn't wait to sleep until noon, and saw that she had gotten up so early and even gone up the mountain.

"Ah! What does Wangwang want from me?" Jiang Anxia's expression hardened, and she abruptly changed the subject.

“Yes! Grandma told me to give this to my aunt.” Jiang Wang held up the bag in her hand.

Jiang Anxia frowned, pursed her lips, and finally accepted it.

She probably already guessed what was inside.

"Okay, I understand. Wangwang, go back now!" Jiang Anxia reached out and patted Jiang Wang's head.

"Isn't Auntie coming back with me?" Although Jiang Wang was young, he clearly sensed something was wrong.

"No, let me see what else I can find." Jiang Anxia shook her head, looking at Jiang Wang with a gentle expression.

"Alright! Then Auntie, please be careful on the mountain! Don't get hurt." Jiang Wang gave Jiang Anxia a mature and wise advice.

"Okay, I understand. Go back now!" Jiang Anxia nodded with a smile.

Jiang Wang took one last serious look at Jiang Anxia, ​​then turned and left helplessly.

Jiang Anxia watched Jiang Wang's departing figure quietly, her eyes gradually reddening.

We've lived together for several months, and it's really hard to part ways.

After Jiang Wang's figure disappeared from sight, Jiang Anxia's gaze fell on the bag in her hand.

With a helpless sigh, Jiang Anxia sat down cross-legged and opened the bag.

A letter came into view, which Jiang Anxia picked up and opened.

Judging from the handwriting, the letter was written by Jiang's father.

The letter contains the following:

Xiaxia, are you alright? I didn't expect this day to come so soon. You must be wondering why I'm saying this!
