Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 1594 - 1596: Bring Him Back

The elders in the family take this matter very seriously.

Chiang Xiao rubbed her forehead, momentarily at a loss for words.

Chiang Songhai continued talking: "If they recognize you as a granddaughter, would that work? Is there a way to adopt a granddaughter without adopting a daughter? We’d have to discuss this with them and see if they agree. How old is Teacher Liu this year? I remember he’s fifty-two now, right?"

"Grandpa, grandpa," Chiang Xiao, her forehead twitching, quickly interrupted, "I mentioned this before—it was just a thought, but I’ve since decided against it. I don’t think it’s necessary."

"What?" Chiang Songhai froze for a moment, clearly misunderstanding her: "What are you saying?"

"I mean, I don’t want to go looking for foster parents. I’ll figure out another solution," said Chiang Xiao.

"You—you don’t want to be adopted by someone else anymore?" Chiang Songhai suddenly raised his voice, and Ge Liutao stared at him, startled. She clung tightly to his arm in alarm.

"Yeah, I no longer want that. Grandpa, Grandma, I’ve decided—I want to try finding my biological father," Chiang Xiao said.

Chiang Xiao felt it would make sense to locate her birth father first and see how things unfolded from there.

Perhaps some key moment or realization would trigger something—who could say?

What primarily swayed her decision was hearing Chiang Qingzhu recount her experiences with Ah Liu, which constantly brought that man to her mind.

The refined and handsome man who bore such a striking resemblance to her—he was her biological father.

If someone like Chiang Qingzhu could appear in her life, why should she fear encountering a birth father with intellectual deficiencies? Besides, she had never believed herself to have inherited any such traits. If she had to pinpoint a flaw, it would be her foolishness in a past life.

Moreover, she could consider other avenues involving Chiang Qingzhu; adoption wasn’t absolutely necessary.

If she only cared about her own interests and disregarded her grandparents’ feelings, how would she be any different from Chiang Qingzhu?

Hearing this, both Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao visibly relaxed.

"Yes, finding your birth father is the right thing to do. We should look for him," Chiang Songhai finally allowed himself to loosen the tension he had been carrying for over two weeks. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Back then, they all had assumed some despicable gangster had forced himself on Chiang Qingzhu, but after learning the truth, an overwhelming sense of guilt toward Ah Liu weighed on them.

That man was truly pitiable for stumbling into their daughter’s life.

What’s more, he likely had no idea he had a daughter in this world.

It was clear the Chiang Family owed him dearly—owed him a great deal.

When they heard Chiang Xiao express her intent to find him, they were wholeheartedly supportive.

Chiang Songhai sighed and said, "We’ll all look for him—find the man and figure out the situation. If it works out, we’ll bring him to live here. Little, don’t worry—you’ve got grandpa and grandma, both in good health, without much else to distract us. We’ll care for him like he’s our own son. How does that sound?"

"Thank you, Grandpa, Grandma," Chiang Xiao felt her heart warm and was deeply moved. "I’ll start looking, though I can’t be sure I’ll succeed."

"Don’t rush."

Chiang Xiao was in the middle of a phone call when she heard a knock at the door.

Thinking it might be Kuang Yunxian stopping by again, she informed her grandfather before hanging up and went to open the door.

When she saw who was standing there, Chiang Xiao was genuinely taken aback.

She hadn’t expected it to be her.

During this period, she had completely forgotten about this person. Was she still in the Capital City?

Moreover, her appearance today was dramatically different from the high-society aristocrat persona she had presented before; her dress was torn with a large gaping hole, and her pants were smeared with wet filth. She looked utterly disheveled.
