Chapter 1720: Chapter 1656: Ah Liu’s Deduction

“Then do you also remember what Grandpa Chen looks like?” Chiang Xiao asked Ah Liu again.

Ah Liu leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and said somewhat wearily, “Let me think, I have to think about it carefully.”

As soon as she heard he needed to think carefully, Chiang Xiao immediately became a little nervous, “No, no, no, you better not think about it, just let it be, don’t force it, what if you get a headache again?”

Ah Liu noticed the tension in her tone, opened his eyes again, looked at her gently, and smiled slightly.

“Little, I know our relationship must be close, right?”

Chiang Xiao was momentarily unsure how to respond.

Ah Liu, however, didn’t wait for her answer and continued talking to himself, “You look so much like me, we’re very likely related by blood. You just called me dad,” he looked at Chiang Xiao and said, “Then, you are very likely my daughter. But I just can’t think of having a daughter.”

Chiang Xiao pursed her lips.

Of course, you can’t think of it, you didn’t know at all.

“You’re seventeen this year, you’ll be eighteen at the New Year, right?”

“Yes.”

“But I’m only thirty-five or thirty-six, I can’t remember clearly, but that’s about my age. I always feel it’s impossible for me to have gotten married and had a child at seventeen or eighteen, and from what I can remember, my mind’s been unclear for at least twenty years.”

Chiang Xiao stared at him in astonishment.

Can a person with an unclear mind have such strong logical reasoning?

Why did she feel like he was analyzing very logically?

Ah Liu continued, “I vaguely remember that I had some valuable items on me back then, but later they were all pawned off. I often had no money to eat and didn’t know where to stay. Someone like that, surely no girl would fancy, right?”

You’re wrong, there were indeed girls who fancied you.

The girls from the Bai Family fancied you.

Chiang Qingzhu fancied you too.

But these are things Chiang Xiao naturally dared not say out loud.

Ah Liu’s analysis wasn’t wrong; it could be considered human nature, quite normal.

“Even if there were really girls or elders who fancied me, and gave themselves or their daughters to me, the biggest possibility would be leaving me as a live-in son-in-law, and after marriage, a daughter was born to me.”

Ah Liu said this, again with a smile, looking at Chiang Xiao, “If I really had a daughter like you, how could I still leave? Little, even if my mind’s unclear, I’m certainly a somewhat responsible father.”

Hearing this, Chiang Xiao’s nose suddenly tingled.

Yes, if he knew back then that he had such a daughter, wouldn’t he have stayed in Siyang Village? Even if he didn’t like Chiang Qingzhu, he might still have stayed out of responsibility, living a simple life with five of us, right?

If he had known of her existence back then, she wouldn’t have grown up as a child with a missing mother and an unknown father!

But he truly didn’t know back then!

Thinking of this, Chiang Xiao grew even more resentful of Chiang Qingzhu.

It all started because of her.

Chiang Xiao could never be grateful that she was brought into this world.

Because in a previous life, she could say she had already returned this life to Chiang Qingzhu.

This life, she should come back to thank her father.

Repay her father.

“So, Little,” Ah Liu continued, “Are you really my daughter? If you are my daughter, I must have encountered something back then, right? What about your mother? Is she my wife? Why haven’t I heard you mention her?”

Chiang Xiao was speechless.
