“It’s nothing. Don’t worry, Daddy,” Chi Jiao said softly, but her eyes were filled with deep worry.
Actually, she had decided to go to Shang Jing because she felt that something had happened to Quan Jue.
Coincidentally, she could also do something her god grandfather had arranged for her. He wanted her to help him visit an old friend.
She had told her father that she wanted to go to Shang Jing. His father thought that she wanted to go there to broaden her horizons, so he was naturally happy to bring her there.
“I’m not worried about that lad. You’re thinking too much,” Chi Mingwei said with a cough.
Chi Jiao smiled and said nothing. She didn’t expose his intentions, either.
Looking down at her phone, Chi Jiao opened the photo album and flipped through a few photos.
The photos were shockingly pictures of Quan Jue’s mother and a man. It was the same photo Quan Jue had seen at Quan Jingzhou’s.
The reason she felt that Quan Jue was in trouble was because of these photos.
These pictures were sent to her by Na Yankun. Previously, she had asked him to investigate Quan Jue’s mother. Now, she finally had some leads.
The woman in the photo was very young, like a female student who had just graduated from university. She emitted a bright and energetic aura.
Although it was hard to believe, the woman in the photo was Lin Yue, who should have passed away many years ago.
Oh no, she had a new name now. It was Lu Xian.
Back then, Lu Xian had injured her head, leaving behind a small scar. The pixels in the photo were very clear, and the small moles and the scar on her face could be seen very clearly.
Chi Jiao was worried that Quan Jue had come to Shang Jing because he knew that his mother was still alive.
She didn’t dare to think about his current mood. She only wanted to see him as soon as possible and stay by his side.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the new year.
Shang Jing finally welcomed the first snow of the year. It had started last night, and it snowed heavily throughout the night. The ground was piled with thick snow that made crunching noises when stepped on.
At the Happiness District.
Lu Xian had found a job as a cashier at a convenience store. Her health wasn’t too good, and she had to take medicine three times a day. She couldn’t do heavy work, so she could only work as a relatively relaxed cashier near her house.
Initially, she didn’t have to work. Her husband had earned enough money to support their small family, but she felt bored at home and wanted to do something.
Due to the heavy snow, the convenience store’s business was not as good as usual. Not a single customer came in after a long time.
Lu Xian was wearing a black turtleneck sweater that accentuated her palm-sized face, which was as fair as porcelain. She sat behind the cashier with her arm on the counter and her chin in her hand, staring at her phone in a daze of boredom.
Ding ling ling!
The wind chime hanging on the glass door rang. Immediately after, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the cold wind instantly filled the store.
A customer had arrived.
Lu Xian hurriedly sat up straight, and a warm smile hung on her palm-sized face. “Welcome.”
The young man who had just entered the convenience store couldn’t help but hold his breath when he heard that familiar voice.
However, it only lasted for a moment before his expression returned to its usual aloofness.
The moment Lu Xian saw Quan Jue, she was stunned.
She only felt that the young man in front of her looked very familiar.
But she couldn’t say how she knew him.
This familiar feeling made her feel inexplicably uneasy.
It was as if she had forgotten something very important.
