Chapter 270: The Loss of Jiang Sheng

Chapter 270

"Go home?"

The sudden word startled Jiang Sheng and Wen Zhiyun to say in unison.

Only Chang Yan understood with some pity.

The supreme being loves jokes the most. All possible and impossible things happen at the same time, only when they happen to yourself, you know there are all kinds of wonders in the world.

"Yes, the Jiang Family." Old Lady Jiang went straight to the point, "You are the child the Jiang Family lost, I am your grandmother."

Jiang Sheng's eyes widened in shock, thinking this was a new extortion trick.

Thinking of the jade bracelet with ample quality, and the old lady’s gesture of giving the jade bracelet, she felt it was unlikely again, frowning and said, "Old lady, don't joke with me, can't I not want those 100 wen?"

The Jiang family business was huge, rich and powerful, and had an industry like You Ran House, how could it be related to her, a wandering beggar.

Jiang Sheng shook her head and retreated two steps. "Let's not talk about it, let's go pick up my brother."

Tan Yue anxiously stepped forward, trying to explain everything clearly.

Old Lady Jiang stretched out her hand to stop her, smiled gently, "Good child, can you tell grandma why you don't believe it?"

Of course it was because she was not stupid.

Jiang Sheng swallowed the words and weighed them carefully. "The Jiang Family is so powerful, how could they possibly lose a child."

Old Lady Jiang's expression froze slightly, and Tan Yue on the side was even more heartbroken.

Fortunately, the Imperial Examination Hall’s front gate opened, and waves of vigorous students poured out, full of thriving vitality and excitement.

Jiang Sheng's attention was diverted, and she rushed over tumbling, "Brother, I brought you candied chestnuts."

Although she ate a few secretly.

"Slow down." Wen Zhiyun handed the small medicine box to Jiang San and walked over in small steps to protect his sister.

Oddly enough, Chang Yan did not follow.

The handsome youth stood still in front of Old Lady Jiang. Even if he was slightly shorter, he was not eclipsed at all, but rather carried a unique tranquility and prominence, “Old lady, sometimes what you think is good may not be good in someone else’s eyes.” Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

Just like the Jiang Family. Even if it was the top family in Fengjing, in Jiang Sheng’s eyes, it may not be as good as two catties of candied chestnuts.

If there was a grandmother, would there be a father and mother too?

What would father and mother look like? She remembered when she was five years old, after being beaten violently by Fatty Shan, she hid in the haystack and cried, crying that she had no home, crying that she had no father or mother to protect her.

She was overheard by some slightly older beggars who mocked her, "How could you have a father and mother? If you had parents you wouldn't be a beggar."

"No, that can’t be." Jiang Sheng argued with them, "I have a father and mother, I just forgot what they looked like and got separated from them."

In fact, she knew that the beggars were telling the truth. Her father and mother were probably already dead in some corner.

But Jiang Sheng still hoped that her parents were alive. Even if it meant that she was abandoned, she hoped they were alive and well.

When they returned to the small courtyard of the second hall, the sky was already dark.

Zhang Xianglian was holding a big spatula for frying, looking left and right anxiously at the door.

Seeing the familiar carriage, she finally felt relieved, "Good thing you’re finally back! Hurry up and eat while it’s hot!"

Xu Mo got off first with support. Wen Zhiyun second. Chang Yan third. And finally the silent Jiang Sheng.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xianglian keenly sensed something wrong. "Little Jiang Sheng is unhappy?"

"I'm not." She shook her head. "I'm fine, Auntie."

But happiness and unhappiness were impossible to fake.

Luckily, it was pitch dark. Jiang Sheng deliberately rushed recklessly into Zhang Xianglian's arms, embarrassed, and said, "I'm just hungry."

"If you're hungry that's easy to solve, go eat pork elbows." Zhang Xianglian let out of breath of relief. She turned around and entered the kitchen, bringing out plates of rice and dishes.

The aroma made up for the loss in her heart, and her family's company added warmth. Jiang Sheng finally had a smile on her face.

But at night, she still had a dream.

In the dream, she finally saw her father and mother. She wanted to grab her mother's hand and ask why they didn't want her anymore, why they didn't love her.

But Mother just kept walking without ever looking back.

The night was mysterious and long. The weeping little girl still failed to grab her mother's hand in the end.

At the same time, in the brightly lit Jiang house, when Lady Jiang saw the pale and pitiful Jiang Chenghua lying in bed, the usually gentle-spoken Lady Jiang lost her temper. She smashed all the cups. Even her eldest son did not escape reprimand. "How did you protect your sister? What are these rumors from outside? What on earth is going on!"
