Chapter 1339: Chapter 1340: Also Picked Up
She certainly knew.
Her biological mother was a female worker from a laundry factory who came from the countryside. Due to her good looks, she caught the eye of a big boss shortly after arriving in the city to work. Not long after, she became pregnant with the boss’s child before marriage. But after she became pregnant, the man who had promised to marry her disappeared.
By then her belly was already quite big, and when she went to the hospital for a check-up, the hospital advised against abortion, saying it would harm her body, and that the child was growing very healthily. It would be a lovely child if born.
Her foolish mother was persuaded, and secretly gave birth to her without her family’s knowledge.
In the urban areas, having a child out of wedlock might not be a big deal, at most people would gossip a bit. But in the remote countryside, if a girl had a child without being married, she would definitely be despised by everyone in the village, and her family would also be looked down upon, with people secretly spitting as they pointed.
Because of this, her family also severed ties with her, and as an uneducated woman with a child, to support her family, she could only do the dirtiest and most tiring jobs, earning meager wages. Soon, the face that was once quite attractive became worn and litless, and her personality changed from lively and cheerful to introverted and timid, afraid to speak loudly with anyone.
Later, her cheap father somehow found out about her existence and soon sent someone to her house to find her.
She was probably about ten years old then.
That foolish woman let her make her own choice, to see whether she would go with her father or stay with her mother. Almost without hesitation, she took her little backpack and followed the man, similar to a butler, into an expensive car, and from then on, she never contacted that woman again.
For her, whether she was a distant relative of the Chu Family or the youngest Oscar-winning actress, if she wanted to secure a place in high society, she couldn’t afford to have any stains in her background.
Even if that woman hadn’t wronged her, it was unfortunate, but who could blame such a foolish, ugly, and embarrassing person, who couldn’t even speak loudly in public; she would never admit that woman was her mother.
Chu Xi’s thoughts raced and she blurted out, "I, I don’t know. My dad never mentioned it. He only told me that he picked me up from some place. That family didn’t want me anymore, he felt sorry for me, so he adopted me."
Jiang Chenyue’s expression grew increasingly agitated as she held her tightly, "Then do you remember how long you were picked up?"
Chu Xi shook her head, "I asked my dad before, but he’s too busy, he doesn’t remember the past either, he only remembers picking me up, but he forgot the exact day."
"I see."
Jiang Chenyue appeared deep in thought, as if pondering her words. Her lips were tightly pressed, showing a hesitant expression.
"Are you sure you don’t remember anything?"
Chu Xi probably guessed something, immediately shook her head, her expression sorrowful, "I don’t know, I was very young when I was picked up. I heard that family also found me, they aren’t my biological parents. I still don’t know who my real parents are. But to me, you are like my mother. Really, no one has ever treated me like you have, I truly regard you as my mother. Madam, believe me, I’m not that kind of person, I really don’t know what happened with the photo, I didn’t intend to take advantage of that accident."
