Chapter 1343 - 1343 1344 A Man Like Her

Chapter 1343: Chapter 1344: A Man Like Her Chapter 1343: Chapter 1344: A Man Like Her Old Bai patted his thigh and said, “I finally remembered, didn’t I?”

Chiang Songhai also understood. Was Old Bai saying Little resembled someone?

He too became anxious and couldn’t help but ask hurriedly, “Brother Old Bai, have you ever met a woman who should be around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old now, who looks a bit like Little?”

Hearing his grandfather utter these words eagerly, Chiang Xiao knew he was thinking of her mother, Chiang Qingzhu.

She probably resembled Chiang Qingzhu.

If it were Chiang Qingzhu, Chiang Xiao truly had no expectations at all.

After what she had gone through with Old Meng and Meng Chaojun, she held no curiosity or expectations for her parents anymore; it didn’t matter if she never found them. After all, she was past the age where she wanted to track down her biological parents and demand to know why they abandoned her.

But Old Bai shook his head and said, “No, not a woman. It’s strange, but Little looks like a man.”

A man?

Chiang Songhai’s heart skipped a beat. A man?

Could it be…

Ge Liutao, who had initially been in the courtyard, overheard this conversation and couldn’t help but come inside.

Kuang Yunxian, in the restaurant, heard this and glanced at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao resembled a man?

Though Chiang Xiao’s features were distinctly feminine, they were not overly delicate but instead bright and bold, with a hint of heroism in her eyes and eyebrows.

If her features were slightly altered to form a male face…

Kuang Yunxian’s mind involuntarily began sketching such a man’s face.

Chiang Xiao had already begun to question Old Bai.

“How old is this man?”

“When I met him, he was just in his early twenties,” Old Bai recalled as he spoke. “He wore a white shirt, army green pants, and a crew cut. He looked very spirited!”

“Back then, a maid in our family was quite fond of him. She kept insisting that we agree to take him home.”

Chiang Xiao found this puzzling, “Take him home?”

Could they really just ‘take home’ a man in his early twenties like that?

Wasn’t that odd?

Old Bai uttered a sigh and explained, “I didn’t clarify, that young man, there was a problem here.” Old Bai pointed to his head.

Ge Liutao exclaimed, “Are you saying he was foolish?”

They all suspected that this man might be Chiang Xiao’s biological father, and he was described as foolish?

This…

It really left a bad taste in one’s mouth.

Old Bai, thinking they disapproved of him saying Chiang Xiao resembled a fool, quickly gestured with his hands and added, “He wasn’t that foolish. He was quite polite and appeared well-bred; he just couldn’t remember who he was, where his home was, or what he was supposed to be doing. He could only remember that he had to keep walking, far away. Nobody knew from what he was meant to stay far away. Anyway, he wandered to City J like that.”

He sighed and continued, “You wouldn’t notice his mental issue if you didn’t talk to him for a few days because his gaze was very clear. I’ve always wondered what became of him.”

Chiang Xiao then asked, “How long did he stay in City J?”

“It was just three or four days. It seems he had run out of money, so he helped an old scholar in our area copy books for three days. The old gentleman took care of his meals and lodging because he said his handwriting was very vigorous. The old man intended to keep him there, but he didn’t want to stay.”
