Chapter 204: 204 You could be burned to ashes and I would still recognize you_1

Speaking of inspecting the ginseng, that was indeed a bit tricky for Chenzi. How would he do that?

He couldn’t possibly take her into the space to see it.

After pondering for a moment, Chenzi said, "How about you wait here for a bit, and I’ll bring it to you later? Would that be okay?"

Wu Shuhui had come to see the child; buying ginseng was just an excuse.

She frowned, her dull eyes harboring a yearning.

"Can’t you really take me to see it?"

She wanted to go and see it, even just a glimpse would suffice.

Chenzi pursed his lips, feeling troubled. To tell the truth, he didn’t want to bring a stranger into his home, and right now Guai Guai was sleeping; he was afraid of waking the child.

Seeing Chenzi’s hesitation, Wu Shuhui was almost on the verge of tears in frustration.

"I really do need the tonic. I can pay double, even triple the price, but you have to let me see the product. That’s not too much to ask, is it?"

She believed that the ginseng Chenzi mentioned must be at his house.

It was no surprise thinking that way; any regular person would think the same.

After all, not everyone was like Chenzi, who had such a mysterious thing as a space.

Chenzi scrutinized Wu Shuhui carefully.

Honestly, he had no clue about this woman’s background.

Though there were fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her eyelashes were long, her nose was straight but dainty, and she had an oval face.

Although not a gentle beauty, there was something about her that always instilled in Chenzi an inexplicable sense of trust.

Just like the first time he met Ji Chu.

Ji Chu?

Chenzi was startled by the face that suddenly flashed through his mind.

Yes, this woman did bear a striking resemblance to Ji Chu.

He was confused, "It’s not a problem to see the ginseng, but I have a question to ask you. Do you know Ji Chu?"

Wu Shuhui never expected Chenzi to ask her such a question; her heart tightened, and her hands involuntarily clenched together.

If she admitted that she was Ji Chu’s mother, did that mean she was acknowledging that Uncle Guang had been working for her all along?

Wouldn’t that be exposing herself?

In that case, Chenzi would likely not take her to his home.

Wu Shuhui felt at a loss, not daring to answer Chenzi’s question.

Meanwhile, Lei Guanghui had nothing but exclamation in his heart.

Goodness, Chenzi was not simple at all, there was also ginseng?

Such a valuable item, and he hadn’t missed out on any of it.

Despite feeling somewhat good about Wu Shuhui, Lei Guanghui glanced at Chenzi.

"Chenzi, the lady has come all this way to find you. You should at least invite her home for a cup of tea. Business aside, propriety dictates hospitality."

Chenzi wasn’t the kind of person who was insensitive to emotions, and to say it, Wu Shuhui really hadn’t had it easy, coming all this way.

He looked at Wu Shuhui again, "Do you know Ji Chu?"

Wu Shuhui dared not lie to Chenzi. Although young, around twenty-three or twenty-four, those eyes of his always seemed like they could see right through people.

Additionally, if she lied to him, he might very likely not sell her the ginseng. Wouldn’t that mean she wouldn’t be able to see her child?

She bit her lip and after a long struggle, she finally spoke, "He, he is my son."

Son?

Ji Chu was this woman’s son?

That would mean Uncle Guang...

At that thought, Chenzi’s lips curved into a smile, feeling that there was something fishy going on.

"Where is Uncle Guang?" Chenzi asked without hesitation.

"Outside," said Wu Shuhui nervously.

At this point, she no longer wanted to lie. Since it had been discovered, she might as well admit it openly.

She was just here to find her daughter. A daughter was a piece of her own flesh; what was there to hide?

Chenzi moved his eyebrows, as if talking to himself.

"So, Uncle Guang wanted the address, not to prove himself..."

"So, why do you need my address? To investigate me?"

Wu Shuhui hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that Bai Guang said your child looks a lot like my daughter did when she was little, and I wanted to check for myself."

Her tone was very sincere, and as she spoke, it even began to tremble slightly.

"My daughter, my daughter went missing a few years ago. We miss her so much; everyone misses her..."

By the end of it, Wu Shuhui could no longer hold back, and the tears fell.

Seeing this, Lei Guanghui felt his heart break and quickly passed her some tissues.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry, take your time," he said.

Wu Shuhui took the tissues and wiped the tears from her face.

Chenzi breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding.

She was looking for her child, the Ji Family, Ji Pianran...

At that moment, his heart couldn’t help but start to feel anxious. They all shared the surname Ji.

He felt that this was probably not a coincidence.

Thinking this, Chenzi hesitated.

Over the years, Ji Pianran had never mentioned wanting to go back home.

He didn’t know what kind of story lay within his family.

What had happened.

What if his wife didn’t want to see her?

He was somewhat baffled. "How about this, you only look at her from a distance at the door, just to see if it’s her or not, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuhui was overjoyed and immediately stood up, "Yes, yes, let’s go right now."

The two of them left, and Chenzi glanced down the road, only to see Uncle Guang hiding under a nearby electric pole, head lowered, quickly turning away as if not wanting to be discovered when he saw Chenzi.

Chenzi couldn’t help but chuckle since every time he saw Uncle Guang, he was dressed in a suit, looking energetic.

He waved at Uncle Guang. "Uncle Guang!"

Uncle Guang didn’t expect Chenzi to actually spot him and, having no choice but to come out of hiding, he lowered his head, his face the picture of embarrassment.

Chenzi walked over with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

Uncle Guang adjusted his sunglasses, "I didn’t expect you’d recognize me even like this."

To tell the truth, if Wu Shuhui hadn’t mentioned Uncle Guang, he probably wouldn’t have recognized him, but now that he did know, he found the sight rather amusing.

"Even if you were reduced to ashes, I would recognize you!" Chenzi joked.

"What a thing to say!" Uncle Guang took off his sunglasses, feeling indignantly speechless.

No matter how it was interpreted, it sounded like an insult.

But since he had deceived Chenzi first and had just been exposed, he felt a little guilty.

"The aunty already told me. You lied about my address because you wanted to find your young lady, right?" Chenzi cut straight to the point.

He could completely understand this.

As a parent, who wouldn’t be anxious if their child was lost?

Especially after so many years, even the thought was agonizing.

Uncle Guang nodded.

"Since the lady has already told you, I won’t hide it from you either. Your daughter, as a child, was the spitting image of my young lady, truly so alike!"

Ji Pianran was not even two years old when Bai Guang came to the Ji Family; she was practically raised before his eyes, and he was absolutely certain he would not mistake her.

"Your young lady’s name is Ji Pianran?" Chenzi asked.

"Yes!" At the mention of these three words, Uncle Guang excitedly slapped his thigh!

That was his young lady’s name!

Ji Pianran!

It seemed the young lady truly was here; Uncle Guang was beside himself with excitement.

"Then can you tell me, why did she get separated back then?" This was what Wu Shuhui had told him, a separation.

He didn’t believe it; Ji Pianran would have been seventeen or eighteen a few years ago. It wasn’t possible for someone that age to just get lost.

He felt there must be some other reason.

As her husband, it was essential for him to find out the truth.
