That person might be Qingshuang, but it could also be Shi Xiaoching.
Of course, it could also be another stranger with the same name.
However, her heartbeat still sped up somewhat.
Regarding Chen Zhu, she actually had little expectation before finding Chen Zhu because of her past life experience, knowing that Chen Zhu was just an irresponsible mother. For so many years, she lived as if without parents, having long lost any expectations for such a mother.
But for Shi Xiaoching, she had somewhat more hope.
After all, Shi Xiaoching was a woman whom the Sixth Young Master Jiang liked. She thought the Sixth Young Master’s taste couldn’t be that bad.
Also, if that painting was truly painted by Shi Xiaoching, then she was at least a painter, perhaps her painting talent was inherited from Shi Xiaoching?
But why was Qingshuang’s painting in Ye Wanqing’s hands?
Shouldn’t ask, why was it taken by Deng Qingjiang?
Clearly, Luofeng Town is so far from Capital City.
Could it be that the painting was bought by someone and then ended up in Deng Qingjiang’s hands?
Right now, that seems to be the only explanation.
"Xiao Chiang, we’re almost there, see the house ahead, look."
Luo Yongsheng pointed ahead.
Jiang Xiao looked over immediately, and indeed saw a classical-style house, with gray-white walls and a tall gate, there were stone carvings on the gate.
"Something seems off?"
Guan Tiezhu’s tone suddenly changed.
Jiang Xiao had seen it too.
Her heart suddenly tightened.
That’s right, something was indeed off!
On the section of the wall they could see, there was a patch of gray and black.
That kind of gray-black looked as if a fire had once burned through.
Could it be that Hongfeng Welfare Institute had experienced a fire?
"Speed up."
With only this short distance remaining, Jiang Xiao was already becoming anxious.
Guan Tiezhu accelerated slightly, and the car drove directly to the entrance.
As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Xiao immediately opened the car door and got out, rushing to the entrance in a few big steps.
Seeing the situation in front of her, her heart sank.
She couldn’t see the door clearly from the other side, but now she saw it — this door was half-hanging, looking precarious and very dilapidated, it certainly didn’t seem like a place where people could live.
Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng also walked over, seeing such a door, they exchanged glances, both worriedly looking at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao did not hide it from them, she directly told them she was looking for her biological mother, who might be in Luofeng Institute.
Although Jiang Xiao hadn’t shown it before, they could still tell her unusual excitement and thrill, subtly carrying a hint of expectation.
But now, it seems the Luofeng Institute doesn’t look like it’s inhabited?
"I’ll go in and take a look." Guan Tiezhu said and stepped forward to knock.
Jiang Xiao, however, went over before him, reaching out to push the door open.
With her push, the half-hanging door panel fell inwards with a loud crash, raising a cloud of dust.
The sound reverberated with a sense of loneliness.
There was no response from inside.
Jiang Xiao’s face was somber, stepping inside.
The yard was empty, with traces of black burn marks everywhere and some scattered furniture.
There were indeed two maple trees in the yard, if they could still be called maple trees.
Because those two trees were completely charred, standing there like two black wooden pillars, adding more loneliness to the yard.
The yard wasn’t large, enclosing the house in the shape of the character "品".
