Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 1544 - 1546: Acknowledge It First

Ge Liutao’s legs went weak, her body tilted to the side, and she hurriedly grabbed onto the table for support.

"Qing, Qingzhu?"

Chiang Songhai, his hands trembling, pressed the speaker button.

Chiang Qingzhu’s voice came through the phone. Although there was a bit of static in the connection, Ge Liutao instantly recognized her voice.

"Dad! Mom! It’s me, I’m Zhuzhu, I really am Zhuzhu!"

Ge Liutao wanted to move toward the phone, but her legs were too weak—she couldn’t take a single step.

She covered her mouth, and tears began to pour out uncontrollably.

Oh my God, oh my God.

Her daughter, her poor, ill-fated daughter, was still alive!

"Zhuzhu, where, where are you? Why haven’t you come home?" Chiang Songhai’s tears flowed freely as well.

On the other end of the phone, Chiang Qingzhu was crying too, a flood of tears streaming down. Kuang Kanzhi sat beside her, gently patting her back in comfort.

Chiang Qingzhu had always thought she lacked the courage to make this call, but after dialing, she realized it wasn’t as difficult as she’d imagined.

She could hear her parents crying, detect the tremble in their voices, and suddenly felt that her years of absence, her lack of contact, were utterly unfilial.

But if her illness hadn’t stabilized, if her condition hadn’t significantly improved, she truly wouldn’t have had the courage to reach out to them.

"Dad, Mom, I’m in the Capital City. I’ve been in the Capital City all this time."

"How did you end up in the Capital? Why did you go so far away?"

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were both crying so hard that their eyes were swollen. But upon hearing that Chiang Qingzhu was in the Capital City, their hearts began to race.

"It’s hard to explain it all at once. Dad, Mom, I miss you both so much."

Chiang Songhai wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "We... we don’t need to miss you. Don’t you miss Little? Poor Little, a child without parents all these years—it’s been so tough for her."

"How could I not miss Little..."

Chiang Qingzhu couldn’t even finish speaking before Chiang Songhai interrupted, "Do you even know? Little is in the Capital City now too! Since you’re in the Capital, go find her quickly. If Little finds out you’re still alive, she’d be so happy. She won’t be a child without a mother anymore..."

"Dad, yesterday..."

Chiang Qingzhu was just about to say she’d already seen Chiang Xiao, but Chiang Xiao’s attitude had been cold, as though she didn’t want to acknowledge her. However, Kuang Kanzhi pressed her shoulder gently and said in an extremely low voice, "Don’t bring up Chiang Xiao now. Focus on reconnecting with your dad and mom first. Tell them you’ll come back to see them. Once you meet face-to-face, then talk about Chiang Xiao’s situation."

"Why?"

Chiang Qingzhu was a little confused.

Kuang Kanzhi didn’t explain. He only gestured for her to do as he said.

He had also investigated Chiang Xiao’s family situation a bit and knew that Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao had been following her over the years, wherever she went. If Chiang Xiao went to Huaming County, they went to Huaming County. If Chiang Xiao moved to City M, they followed her to City M.

This showed that the Elders of the Chiang Family valued Chiang Xiao greatly. It was even possible that they listened to Chiang Xiao’s advice.

He had seen Chiang Xiao’s composed and forceful personality firsthand. novelbuddy.cσ๓

If that was the case, and if Chiang Qingzhu explained her meeting with Chiang Xiao now, the Elders of the Chiang Family—upon hearing Chiang Xiao’s attitude—might hesitate to acknowledge Chiang Qingzhu.

They might not even reveal where they currently lived.

Finding them would be much more difficult for him, being so far away.

If Chiang Xiao first informed the Elders of the Chiang Family about the situation, then Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao might even more steadfastly refuse to accept Chiang Qingzhu.
