Capítulo 1295: Chapter 1206:
Stunned after reading the contents, Xiao Li and I discovered Xiao Li's connection to Grandma Yu through the letter she left behind. Yet, Grandma Yu noted in it that she had comrades from the appropriate department investigate Xiao Li's origins, only to find no records at our town's health center, causing the leads to vanish completely.”
Captain Kang: “What do you mean?”
Luo Yanqing clarified: “Grandma Yu's letter revealed that Xiao Li’s real mother served as a maid in her husband's household, namely Old Mr. Jiang’s residence. Old Mr. Jiang opposed his son romancing a maid, so the woman ran off with young Mr. Jiang, heading to a remote Northwest town to start a new life.”
Cai Xiufen: “Is it the town where we reside?”
Luo Yanqing nodded: “Unexpectedly, when Xiao Li’s biological mother was more than a month from delivery, Mr. Jiang was spotted on that town's streets by men dispatched by Old Mr. Jiang and dragged back to North City against his will.
Once the relevant department's comrades uncovered this detail, and given Grandma Yu's account, they visited the local health center to review births recorded in the following two months.
However, they learned the health center's records and archives had been destroyed in a fire, reduced to ashes, and all the doctors and nurses from that era had long been reassigned elsewhere.
Nevertheless, with the photograph Grandma Yu provided revealing the facts, Mom, it's impossible for even me, let alone Li Bao, to deny Xiao Li's ties to Grandma Yu.”
“Then why keep it from us?”
Cai Xiufen's voice carried a hint of displeasure.
Captain Kang interjected: “Enough, don't hold on so tightly. Haven't the Jiang brothers and Yanqing explained that Li Bao feared we'd worry excessively, sparing us pain, which is why she held back what she knew and never questioned if she truly belonged to us.”
Hearing these words, Cai Xiufen fell quiet.
Noticing this shift, Captain Kang pressed on, “Imagine if Li Bao had outright asked whether she was our blood daughter or presented Aunt Yu's letter—would you or I have felt at ease?”
“Mom, Xiao Li truly wished to shield you and Dad from heartache, opting for silence. To this day, she hasn't considered recognizing Mr. Jiang; it proves just how deeply she treasures you and Dad.”
Luo Yanqing gazed at Cai Xiufen and Captain Kang, observing their faces soften considerably, and added: “All these years, Xiao Li has constantly shared with me praises of your kindness toward her, how the brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces all shield and pamper her. She insists she cherishes your entire family immensely.”
“Love has nothing to do with it.” Cai Xiufen shot Luo Yanqing a look, a smile creeping across her features: “Rest easy, Mom isn't upset with you. Li Bao grew up under me and your father-in-law's care—we know her inside out!”
Captain Kang nodded toward Luo Yanqing in agreement with Cai Xiufen, then stated: “Once Li Bao awakens, your mom and I will reminisce about old times. Should Li Bao desire it, she may recognize your Uncle Jiang; your mom and I won't oppose.”
“Having more folks to dote on Li Bao strikes me as a wonderful thing now.”
Cai Xiufen remarked this to Captain Kang.
“I'll go along with Dad and Mom.”
Luo Yanqing voiced no resistance.
Afternoon.
“…”
Kang Li's eyes bulged wide, fixated intently on Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen: “Dad, Mom, I… I never intended to conceal it from you!” That cursed Luo Professor had truly withheld details from her just two days prior!
“Mom understands, Dad understands—you fretted we'd misinterpret and grow distressed, so you've kept silent on the matter with us.”
Locking eyes with Kang Li, Cai Xiufen's gaze brimmed with warmth as she gently stroked the hair at the back of Kang Li's head, adding: “As for Mr. Jiang and the history with your birth mother, we've already discussed it with Mr. Jiang.
Mom and Dad aren't deluded; we see Mr. Jiang never meant to desert your birth mother back then. Instead, your birth mother cruelly dumped you, a helpless newborn, into the garbage bin of the women's restroom at the town's health center.
Were that birth mother facing me right now, I'd smack her fiercely, silencing her completely, much less allow any recognition.”
Cai Xiufen's expression abruptly chilled: “That woman isn't merely ruthless—she's downright malevolent! If she truly rejected this child, she could've bundled you properly and left you in plain sight, not hurled an infant straight into a toilet's trash bin.”
