Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Do You Want to Know Your Biological Parents?
At that moment, Li Shengxiao suddenly grabbed her left hand, lifted her sleeve, and bent down to examine the scar on the inside of her wrist.
His fingertips gently swept across the scar, skimming over the skin with a touch that felt almost like an electric shock, almost raising goosebumps on Rong Yan.
"This spot... has it had anything before?"
"Huh?"
He looked up, his gaze peculiar, "Like a birthmark or something."
Rong Yan glanced at her own left arm, shook her head, eyes blank, "No, I donât have any birthmarks. I got this while working in a restaurant, accidentally cut by a broken plate. After it scabbed over, it left a faint scar. Itâs not noticeable and doesnât affect my life, so I left it alone. There was nothing there before it got cut."
Li Shengxiaoâs eyes slightly narrowed, feeling that there should be something about this place; otherwise, Jiang Chenyue wouldnât have kept looking at the inside of Rong Yanâs wrist, as if she wanted to see something there.
He connected some rumors he had discovered about the Chu Family with Jiang Chenyueâs abnormal behavior earlier, furrowed his eyebrows, and suddenly said, "Yanyan, do you want to know about your parents?"
Rong Yan pulled down her sleeve, covering part of the scar, without lifting her head, "Why bring this up suddenly? Honestly, I donât want to. Iâm used to being on my own, Iâm living well now, I havenât thought it necessary to figure out who they are. Who they are doesnât matter to me anymore, what matters to me now is to live well each day, take good care of Little Baby, and live a fulfilling life."
She lifted her head, not hiding from him, "Also, last time Jiang Meiqi came to the company to confront me, she asked for money, and when she didnât get it, she mentioned that when she found me at the hospital, there was a letter with me that detailed my background. It said my mother was a streetwalker and I was a child born from a fleeting encounter with a street thug. They couldnât afford to raise me, didnât want to bear the responsibilities of parenthood, so they left me at the hospital, hoping someone else would take me away..."
She spoke calmly, her eyes serene without a ripple, shoulders relaxed, as if she was telling a story about someone unrelated.
Li Shengxiao watched her but felt his heart aching finely and intensely, wishing he could embrace her immediately, telling her not to be afraid, that he was still here.
"Do you believe what she said?"
Rong Yan shrugged, leaning against a lamppost, tilting her head back, and chuckled softly, "Itâs not about believing or not believing. If I have to say, I didnât really believe it. But what she said could also be true. Either way, it doesnât matter to me, I canât choose who I was born to, whether they are billionaires or beggars on the street, the fact they didnât want me is true. But them not wanting me didnât stop me from growing up. Now that I have my own life, Iâll live it well each day! I donât want to dig into who I exactly am. Who I am is for me to decide!"
She lives every day very genuinely now.
She also has many elders, friends, lovers, and a son, she isnât lacking anything.
She doesnât lack the fake paternal or maternal love from Jiang Meiqi and Rong Nanfeng, nor the care from parents she has never met.
How to put it, although there might be some regrets, finding or not finding her birth parents is just a slight regret for her.
This bit of regret wonât affect her future life.
She just wants to walk steadily, live each day well, protect Little Baby, and take things one step at a time.
