Chapter 29: Looking At The Same Sky
*The more one lacks, the more one craves.*
Perhaps the reason Jiang Qi came back here today, came to see them, was because in his dreams at midnight, his mind always remembered the scene when Jiang Shi reported to the police for him.
Although Jiang Shi and Guan Yue were not really doing it for him but for the house, that scene was a rare ‘warm’ memory from his youth, so Jiang Qi remembered it particularly well. He never thought he would become an actor by chance after his release from prison, nor did he think he would be so wealthy now.
But since he had money now, he should repay his debts—just think of it as repaying Jiang Shi for preventing him from being killed by Jiang Quan back then.
After watching Guan Yue, who had aged much more than before, for a while, Jiang Qi slowly spoke, “Aunt.”
Still, just one short word, but it gradually changed the bewildered expression on the woman’s face to shock. She was stunned for a while, her voice trembling as she said, “Is… is it Ah Qi?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Qi nodded and took off his mask halfway. “It’s me.”
“You, why… ah, you’ve come.” The woman was incoherent, her anxious movements making room for Jiang Qi to come closer. Her eyes were wandering as if she didn’t know what she was saying, “It’s messy here, you know this market… you didn’t even give Auntie a heads-up, so she could’ve cooked a couple of dishes for you.”
“No need to bother.” Jiang Qi looked around the room after coming in, finding that there wasn’t much difference from before.
