Xu Linjiang listened to his words and replied decisively without a second thought.
Chiang Songhai was taken aback.
"This, can’t ask?"
Can’t even ask a bit?
Seeing his confusion, Xu Linjiang said, "Uncle, of course, you can’t ask, and there’s no need to ask him. The situation is clear."
What’s clear?
Chiang Songhai was sowhat puzzled.
Xu Linjiang patiently explained to him.
"What kind of person is Little’s dad? Little probably ntioned him to you a few tis, right? She couldn’t have not talked about it. Little is a very attentive child, isn’t she?"
Hearing this, Chiang Songhai rembered.
He nodded and said, "ntioned, ntioned. Little said her dad is a very good person who knows a lot, reads many books. The words she used, I can’t articulate, but it should an he is very cultured, has a good temperant, treats her well, takes care of her, and even cooks for her."
Xu Linjiang said, "Little told her dad is knowledgeable, cultured, and graceful. So, soone like him, if he were to bring Chen Zhu back, it wouldn’t be in secrecy. He would at least discuss it with Xinian and let Xinian inform you. Because by then, you’d et in Capital City, how could he let you be surprised when you suddenly see Chen Zhu?"
Chiang Songhai was left stunned.
"Moreover, since he is such an educated intellectual, uncle, think about it. Now Xinian isn’t often ho, and Little has been abroad for so ti. It ans, in Capital City, it’s just Little’s dad alone at ho regularly. There’s no way he would bring Chen Zhu to live together with no title, right?"
Chiang Songhai’s heart skipped a beat.
Thinking about it, he rembered what Chen Zhu did to Ah Liu.
These things Chen Zhu could do, but Little’s dad probably wouldn’t.
How did he not think about it before?
Xu Linjiang continued, "There’s another crucial point. Since Little said she wouldn’t acknowledge Chen Zhu, and Little’s dad hasn’t recalled all past events, Little definitely wouldn’t tell him about Chen Zhu’s current situation. aning, Little’s dad doesn’t even know Chen Zhu is alive, let alone that she’s in Capital City, or with whom. How could he possibly bring her ho?"
"That’s true..."
Originally muddled, Chiang Songhai finally felt clear-headed after listening to Xu Linjiang’s words.
Following Kuang Kanzhi’s lead, their minds were in chaos, thinking it made perfect sense when he ntioned Chen Zhu was taken by Little’s dad.
Now, after listening to Xu Linjiang’s analysis, where’s the sense in that?
Chiang Songhai was very thankful to have discussed this with Xu Linjiang first and asked for his opinion.
"So what do we do now? It’s definitely not Little’s dad who took her away, so who could it be? Could sothing have happened to Ah Zhu?" Chiang Songhai rembered Ge Liutao’s sad look and sighed, "We definitely can’t ask Little’s dad, so who can we inquire about it?"
Xu Linjiang genuinely felt for Little.
She’s abroad, and a heap of trouble arises at ho.
When she gets back, she’s supposed to get married; let’s not have her wedding day disturbed.
He shook his head and said to Chiang Songhai, "Uncle, we won’t inquire about this."
"Don’t inquire? But Ah Zhu..."
Xu Linjiang interrupted him, "Didn’t we already promise Little to treat Chen Zhu as a stranger? Uncle, don’t say I’m hard-hearted. If you act this way, how is that treating her as a stranger? Besides, how old is Chen Zhu? Little just turned eighteen and is currently competing in Country Y without any friends or familiar people around. Why aren’t you worrying about her?"
