Capítulo 1131: Chapter 1131: Orphan
Xia Xin responded with an “okay,” and then hung up the phone.
At that moment, the elevator came down from above.
Holding his phone, Xia Xin entered the elevator with Jiangli, one after the other.
It was late at night, and not many people were using the elevator, so there were only the two of them inside.
Standing beside Jiangli, Xia Xin recapped the conversation he just had with Wei Qingran.
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, “Qing Yue didn’t go with her?”
Xia Xin nodded, “From what Qingran sounded like, shortly after we left, Qing Yue left on his own.”
He didn’t seem bothered by it, “I guess it shouldn’t be a big deal; Qing Yue is a grown man, what trouble could he run into?”
Jiangli seemed thoughtful, “Is that so?”
Xia Xin sensed there was something behind her tone and asked hesitantly, “Shouldn’t be a problem, right? If you’re worried about him, I could call Qing Yue to check in?”
Jiangli snorted, “Worried about him?”
Xia Xin looked confused, wasn’t that the case?
Jiangli waved a dismissive hand, her expression cold, “Ignore him, he won’t die anyway.”
Xia Xin: “…”
Ahem.
That was the truth.
Qing Yue is not an ordinary person; what could possibly happen to him?
Xia Xin let the matter go and asked, “So, are we really not going to the hospital tomorrow to take a look?”
Jiangli replied calmly, “I’ve said it before, what remains with Little Caihong should be left to the doctors, there’s no point in me going.”
Xia Xin acknowledged with an “oh” and, thinking of Little Caihong’s injuries, couldn’t help but think of Su Zitong.
Considering all Su Zitong had done, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Ancestor, do you think Su Zitong can change?”
Jiangli said, “I don’t know.”
Xia Xin murmured, “The Su Family is so strange, the father is too busy to care, the mother puts all the pressure on the child, and then there’s this so-called ‘Heart’s Desire Fulfillment’ artifact from the Fox Demon, granting any wish one desires. Honestly, if it were me, I might be even crazier than Su Zitong.”
Jiangli’s expression remained indifferent, saying nothing.
She didn’t have any particular feelings towards Su Zitong or the Su Family.
Xia Xin continued talking to himself and sighed, “But it is understandable, everyone is a first-timer at being human, a first-timer at being parents, and sometimes there are things they simply can’t do.”
Jiangli glanced at him and said, “I heard you’re an orphan?”
Xia Xin was taken aback, not expecting the topic to shift to himself, laughed sheepishly, “Mm…”
Jiangli continued asking, “Have you ever thought about finding your parents?”
The smile on Xia Xin’s face faded slightly, looking calm, “I used to think about it, when I was very young. My master never hid it from me, so I knew early on that I was an orphan. At the time, I wondered why my parents didn’t want me. When I went to school, other students had their parents attend parent-teacher meetings, but I didn’t. My master was busy and didn’t have time either, making me wish even more to find my parents.”
Speaking of it, Xia Xin gave a somewhat awkward smile.
Back then, being so young, he really wanted to find his parents, he even secretly went to the police station once to ask the police officers for help in finding them.
He also once asked the old Taoist to help track down his parents.
But nothing came of it.
Later on, as Jiaoyang Temple declined, sometimes it was a struggle just to get food, Xia Xin grew older and began to focus on daily survival, gradually forgetting about it.
By now… he has long come to terms with it.
Jiangli was somewhat surprised to hear this.
In this day and age, there are still quite a number of people who favor sons over daughters.
And although Xia Xin’s Spiritual Bone is incomplete, to ordinary people, he was still a healthy boy, without any disease.
