Chapter 310 - 299: Childlike as Always at Midnight
Li Xianglu still couldn’t believe it, sitting on the circular couch, focusing intently on the youth beside her.
The stubborn little boy who silently suffered a big boil on his head and went to the village clinic, the child who insisted on finishing his chores before eating, the smart kid who never forgot what he saw.
As she watched, the two figures gradually merged into one, and Li Xianglu wiped away the tears that fell, joyfully saying: "I heard you ran away, your Brother Qin looked for you for a long time, where did you go?"
Xu Wu smiled obediently, moved closer, so his sister could pet his head, the docile look just like the little brother at home, endearing, Li Xianglu stroked his head, also asking about the scar on his head and how he had been these past years.
Li Xianglu was four years older than Xu Wu—who was just nineteen this year—when they first met Li Xianglu was only fifteen, and Xu Wu was barely eleven.
Eight years passed since then, and that stubborn child had grown up; if you walked past him on the street, you’d definitely not recognize him.
Su Yan, after hearing Mr. Li recount how the two met, also felt deeply moved, not so much by the passage of time, but by the dumb luck of this fool Li Xianglu.
This boy had an air of vigor about him, and he could easily handle those few young men, not at all something a nobody could do. There were also the gifts he brought, when she carelessly opened an unpacked large wooden chest earlier, shifting it to the living room, she saw glinting gold, various jewelry and precious metals in a complete mess inside the box, not to mention the four pieces of shareholder porcelain she had seen opened earlier, each worth more than a hundred thousand yuan, and if taken to the United States, people would snatch them even for several hundred thousand US dollars.
What kind of background did this person have?
While the two sisters talked, Qin Xi sat beside them, smiling, not interjecting.
