Jing Yun Zhao's trio returned, and gave them her thanks once again, everyone going their separate ways. Meanwhile, Li Shao Yun didn't stay the night in the County Centre and went straight back to the Jing Capital.
These kind of self-sacrificing actions, it was hard for Jing Yun Zhao not to be moved. With a 180 degree change in attitude, she even picked a few fruit wines and medicinal wines for him to take along.
However, before he left, Li Shao Yun asked her again in concern, "Do you need help searching for your parents?"
Du Lin looked quite concerned about it too.
Unexpectedly, Jing Yun Zhao stretched her body taut and shook her head.
Once bitten, twice shy; she didn't know what kind of people her parents were. Expectations were one thing, but reality was typically used to disappoint.
She was just an abandoned child, even if her parents were identified, she was afraid that she wouldn't be liked by them. Why ask for trouble for herself? It's even possible she might meet another family that heavily favoured boys over girls, how could someone with her character get along with them?
Li Shao Yun seemingly had also expected some rejection from her, so he didn't insist.
After they went their ways, Jing Yun Zhao returned to her district.
The fact that Jing Yun Zhao was going home to recognize her family today was known by her friends. They felt that this matter was very important, hence why Xiao Hai Qing and the gang rushed back home, even more so when they saw Jing Yun Zhao.
"Biao-jie, so how did it go? Did they treat you well? They didn't bully you right? Does your little brother and sisters resemble you?" Su Chu asked rapidly.
Gan Jin Chen was also worried but he wasn't as direct as Su Chu, "Why did you come back so early? Did they not allow you to stay overnight?"
Jing Yun Zhao was about to answer their questions when she saw Xiao Hai Qing pull both Su Chu and Gan Jin Cheng to one side, then Xiao Hai Qing sat beside her and grabbed her face and asked seriously, "Did they hurt you? If they treated you unfairly in any way you gotta speak up alright? Don't be like those bitter wives you see on television, holding in their anger and hurt when treated unjustly!"
The impression that the Jing Family gave towards the three of them was weird.
It wasn't because they were poor so they were not worthy to be the parents of Jing Yun Zhao; after all, having poor parents was better than not having parents.
Jing Yun Zhao was stunned silly for a moment, especially when Xiao Haiqing was holding her face as the distance between the two of them while facing each other was less than 10 cm apart.
Xiao Hai Qing saw her in a daze; she finally realized that with how hard she was holding Jing Yun Zhao's face, Jing Yun Zhao currently looked like a squirrel that was hiding too many nuts inside her mouth, simply too adorable!
Xiao Hai Qing hurriedly said while grinning, "Don't be angry alright!? I didn't do it on purpose, I was just a little excited! Ha ha ha…"
This was because she knew Jing Yun Zhao had always been averse to close contact.
Xiao Hai Qing deliberately rubbed her hands a few more times before releasing it, and couldn't help but relish the feel of Jing Yun Zhao's soft skin again.
Jing Yun Zhao helplessly shook her head and said, "Didn't you guys want to know what happened today? Take a seat then I'll explain. However, Hai Qing, you have to promise me that you won't shout or break anything, otherwise my neighbour might come to complain about the noise."
It was this serious?
Xiao Hai Qing blinked with a pair of innocent eyes and hurriedly said, "I swear that I'll be quiet!"
Jing Yun Zhao actually wanted to wait for the new paternity test result to come out before she told them anything, but seeing three pairs of eyes overflowing with concern caused her to feel bad if she were to keep it all to herself.
The three listeners gathered around her and listened with their undivided attention and patiently waited for Jing Yun Zhao to sort out her emotions. With that, Jing Yun Zhao started reminiscing about the events that happened today to the three listeners, one word at a time.
