"Is that so?" Jiang Anxia lowered her head, lost in thought.
As expected, the claim that the Jiang family found her is questionable.
There must be other reasons.
Otherwise, if she had been found missing half an hour after she disappeared, the An family would have immediately arranged for people to search for her; how could they not have found her?
This is not scientific at all.
“Yes, we’ve never given up looking for you since the day you disappeared. But no matter how hard we search, we can’t find any trace of you.” An Yuxi said, her mood gradually sinking.
It's a waste of their right to settle in Kyoto; they can't even find a single person there.
It seems that settling down is not enough for them; they need to work harder.
That way, once the little girl is home, they can better protect her and prevent her from suffering any injustice.
Because their little princess was born to be pampered by the whole family, not to suffer grievances.
“We suspected someone had done something behind the scenes, which is why we couldn’t find it. And we were able to find it this time thanks to Grandpa Zhang. Otherwise, we don’t know how long we would have been searching.” As she spoke, An Yuxi sighed deeply.
They have been searching aimlessly for more than ten years, and have even wondered if something had happened to the little girl, which is why they can't find her.
But then he shook his head and told himself that nothing could happen to the little girl, and that she would grow up well.
Then wait for them to find her. Then make up for everything that was lacking to the little girl.
After hearing what An Yuxi said, Jiang Anxia was speechless.
She felt that nothing she said was right, so she could only look at An Yuxi with complicated emotions.
"Alright, Xi, now that we've found it, let's not talk about the past anymore," Zhang Hongbo interrupted An Yuxi, who was about to continue his rambling.
He could tell that Jiang Anxia was at a loss for words.
That's why he interrupted. Besides, this girl is to his liking, so there's no harm in helping her out.
"Yes, yes, Xiaxia, do you want to come with me to Kyoto to see Mom and Dad?" An Yuxi's voice gradually lowered as she said this.
He dared not ask the girl to go to Kyoto with him now, because she still had relatives here.
She has not only the An family, but now she also has the Jiang family.
He already knew the gist of what had happened at the town entrance.
In addition, there was their conversation that day.
He had already guessed some of it.
The little girl was pampered and spoiled in the Jiang family, but recently, for some unknown reason, her adoptive mother kicked her out.
When he first found out, he was filled with uncontrollable anger and wanted to rush to the Jiang family to confront them.
He would have gone if someone hadn't stopped him.
After thinking about it carefully, he could guess that there must be some secret involved.
Otherwise, how could a person change so much?
"Not now, I still have things I don't understand," Jiang Anxia said softly.
She wanted to know what her mother was really thinking, and what she was hiding from her.
There's something I need to know!
“Just as I thought.” An Yuxi smiled.
He knew the girl would say that, because she had something on her mind.
He could have guessed this the moment he thought about it.
"By the way, little girl, what's your relationship with Gu Yanzhu, who was with you the other day?" Zhang Hongbo remembered Gu Yanzhu, who had been with the girl a few days ago.
"Gu Yanzhu? Who is he? Xiaxia, what is your relationship with him?" An Yuxi opened her eyes wide and her voice suddenly became louder.
Who is this guy? The little girl seems to know him quite well.
"He... is my boyfriend." Jiang Anxia's voice grew softer as she spoke.
Even so, An Yuxi heard it clearly and without missing a single word.
"What the hell? Boyfriend? Who is he? I'll go punch him a couple of times. Xiaxia, you're still young, we don't need to rush." An Yuxi's eyes widened, his voice was loud, and his face was somewhat unpleasant.
The girl found it, but it was buy one get one free! How could that be?
"He's fine, don't bully him." Seeing this, Jiang Anxia quickly protected Gu Yanzhu.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you about my family situation!" Seeing the little girl protect Gu Yanzhu without hesitation, An Yuxi sighed slightly.
They then began to talk about other things.
"Okay." Seeing that the topic had been changed, Jiang Anxia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaxia, your father's name is An Zhaiyue, and he is a military leader in Kyoto. Your mother, Lin Qingxin, has been in poor health since you disappeared and stays at home most of the time, rarely going out."
The eldest brother, An Yuzhi, is a regimental commander under our father. His sister-in-law, Fang Yanan, is a doctor at the military hospital. They have a son named An Li, who is eight years old this year.
The second brother, An Yuning, works at the government affairs center; his power is just so-so. His wife, Song Ruomei, is the deputy director of the Women's Federation. They have two sons, An Xinghe and An Xingyu, twins, who are six years old this year.
I'm the third in line, and I live in the same place as my second brother. My fourth brother, An Yushu, is a bit of a disappointment; he's the chief surgeon at the military hospital. Neither my fourth brother nor I are married.” At this point, An Yushu picked up his water glass and took a sip.
It must have been quite difficult for him to say so much in one go, but there was nothing he could do about it, given the size of his family.
Jiang Anxia listened in stunned silence. The whole family was capable, so how could they be unable to find anyone? It was very strange.
“Xiaxia must be wondering, even with our family in such a state, how come we still can’t find you?” An Yuxi noticed the confusion in the little girl’s eyes as soon as she looked up.
“We’ve discovered a lot of problems during the more than ten years we’ve been looking for you. It’s not just a problem of the times, but also other obstacles, which is why things are like this.” As she spoke, An Yuxi gently shook her head.
Over the past decade or so, they've come to understand this era thoroughly. It's all caused by backwardness and poverty!
"Is that all?" Seeing that An Yuxi was no longer talking about the An family, Jiang Anxia took the initiative to ask.
She was still quite curious about the An family.
"Yes, Grandpa An Dingguo now just stays at home raising flowers and watching fish, he doesn't care about anything else. As for Grandma, she passed away a long time ago. Speaking of which, when you were just born, it was Grandma who held you and went out every day to brag to others that she had a granddaughter."
Grandma loves you the most; she even carries you to her room to sleep. Luckily, you're not fussy, otherwise Grandpa would definitely have left you with Mom.
"I was just saying, but Grandpa likes you a lot too. He's just a rough man and doesn't know how to express it." An Yuxi said this with a gentle smile on her face.
He was already seven years old when the little girl was born, and he remembers it very clearly.
Jiang Anxia looked at An Yuxi, who was lost in her memories, and a wound ripped through her heart.
Zhang Hongbo looked at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh.
Old An! Your little granddaughter has been found, all thanks to me!
