Xin Gan: "I'm fine. Don't worry, cousin."
Xin Gan was afraid that Shen Ruxin would worry and didn't tell her that she was also at the scene of the explosion. She kept it a secret if possible.
Report good news but not bad news.
And when Cheng Jiu finally relented, she didn't want to cause any other trouble either.
The police soon informed her that the child's parents had died in the explosion. They also informed other relatives in the child's family, but they had not been able to get in touch. To put it simply, Asonli had no parents to take care of him, leaving him alone.
This news was too heavy for Xin Gan to bear to tell him. So he asked her himself, "Will my parents not come to pick me up?"
Xin Gan was silent for a moment, feeling reluctant but also helpless.
Asonli cried all night. Although he was a boy, he was still just a child now.
Xin Gan asked the innkeeper's wife what to do with a child like Asongli in the future...
The landlady and Xin Gan had learned about Asongli's background and his life story. Although she felt sympathetic and sorry for him, she still told Xin Gan the truth: "Either wander or find a family that is willing to adopt him. What you say in the future is not certain. If you have bad luck and the parents who adopted him are not good people..."
There's no need to say anything more. Xin Gan is well understood.
Xin Gan had never encountered such a situation and was at a loss for a moment about what to do.
...
Jiang Tang came to the inn to visit Xin Gan and heard the landlady mention that Xin Gan had brought back a poor child.
Jiang Tang went to find Xin Gan. She came well-prepared, mainly wanting to have a chat with Xin Gan.
Xin Gan's attitude was cold. Qing Qing stood there coldly, waiting for her to speak first.
Miss Xin, I'm very sorry about that day. I didn't know the relationship between Cheng Jiu and you.
Xin Gan said indifferently, "You really should apologize, Miss Jiang. I have no grudge against you. I didn't know you before and I don't quite understand why you changed your mind."
Jiang Tang smiled, showing no sign of apology at all, even though she said she was sorry.
It was indeed my fault that day. I originally invited you here in the name of Cheng Jiu, thinking he would be happy to see you. I never expected it to backfire. This is my fault, Miss Xin. I'm sorry to you again.
Xin Gan felt that Jiang Tang was too convoluted and had many thoughts. Now she completely understood that Jiang Tang must have feelings for Cheng Jiu, which was why she was hostile to her.
During the half month when Cheng Jiu arranged for Jiang Tang to help take care of her, she somewhat sensed it.
Jiang Tang always starts to investigate with her, saying that they used to go on missions together, live in the team together, and go through thick and thin together. All these are aspects that Xin Gan could never touch.
Jiang Tang then said, "But Miss Xin, we are not on par with each other. One of us is much better than the other."
Xin Gan let out a sigh and said, "Could it still be my fault?"
Jiang Tang was not afraid to tell her, "I know your relationship with Cheng Jiu. I don't care if it's real or not, but don't even think about it. Cheng Jiu won't go back to marry you. He likes this place and he will stay here."
Xin Gan gritted her teeth, feeling indignant in her heart: "Miss Jiang, it's no use telling me this. You can tell him."
Xin Gan now has no good feelings for Cheng Jiu. His image in her heart has hit rock bottom. If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have come this time. It's just causing herself trouble.
It's true to think this way. No wonder Cheng Jiu agreed to her request to dissolve the marriage.
Because he has a female confidant by his side, the kind who shares life and death.
