Chapter 1120: It Was Him

As she spoke, Qin Shu sat up from the bed. She put on her shoes and stood up. She looked nervously at the man, praying in her heart that it was Xiao Jiu’s calling.

Fu Tingyu looked at the girl and handed the phone to her. “It’s master calling. Xiao Jiu is with the master.”

Qin Shu took the phone and placed it by her ear. She called out, “Master.”

When she spoke to master again, she had an indescribable feeling. It was because she had regained her memories and because she knew that master and Mommy had some emotional ties too.

The man said apologetically, “Xiao Jiu, He was just here. I made you worry.”

Knowing that Xiao Jiu was with her master, Qin Shu heaved a sigh of relief. Her heart was relieved. “I am relieved that Xiao Jiu is with my master. What about my mommy? How is she now?”

The man turned his head to look at the room and saw Ling’er eating with Xiao Jiu. He said, “She is very well. Xiao Jiu will stay here to accompany her for a few days. She misses Xiao Jiu a lot.”

“That’s good. I have been sleeping with her. Last time, I didn’t talk to her much.” Qin Shu tightened her grip on her phone and asked, “Master, have you ever thought of letting her recover her memory?”

Master’s reply was very direct. “No.”

Qin Shu asked again, “Then do you feel that you’re being selfish?”

/

“If I can let her stay by my side, so what if I’m selfish?”

Master’s voice was clear and cold. He revealed his purpose without thinking. Qin Shu didn’t know how to refute him.

Love was selfish, to begin with. However, she suddenly remembered the scene of her mommy crying in Qi Mountain. Mommy wasn’t a woman who would cry easily. If she wasn’t so sad, she wouldn’t cry.

“Later, I will ask Xiao Jiu to call you back. He is talking to Ling’er now.”

After saying that, the man was ready to hang up the phone.

She thought of the many doubts in her heart and hurriedly shouted, “Master, I still have something to say.”

The man’s action of hanging up the phone stopped. “Just say.”

Qin Shu tightened her grip on the phone again and said, “Master, I have a question to ask you.”

Master: “Ask.”

Qin Shu asked, “Master, are you involved with my Mommy? When my mommy was 16 years old, she met a man she loved. Is that you, the master?”

Although she had guessed it, she wanted to hear the master admit it personally, which made her even more sure of the truth of the matter.

As soon as Qin Shu finished her sentence, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long silence, the master finally spoke, “How do you know?”

Qin Shu said, “I’ve been to Miao Xin and met my grandpa, Long Size. I knew that my Mommy’s real name is Long Ziling. I’ve heard from Hao ze about the reason why mommy left Miao Xin.”

The man said, “That man was me. I was the one who took your mommy away from Miao Xin.”

“Then why did my mommy marry Qin Hai later? You took my mommy away. Why did you let my mommy leave you again? Why did my mommy cry back in Qi Mountain?”

Qin Shu asked anxiously. She wanted to know what happened.

The master suddenly asked, “Did you remember that memory?”

Qin Shu nodded. “Yes, I just remembered it. I knew that mommy asked you to erase my memory.”

“I can tell you. I won’t let her remember the past.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Qin Shu still had questions to ask, but she didn’t expect her master had hung up and didn’t give her a chance to speak.

If he wouldn’t let mommy remember the past, then the past must be something sad.

Otherwise, mommy would have abandoned everything about Miao Xin and left with her master without looking back. She must have loved her master.

She suddenly thought of a possibility. The master had let mommy down, and that was why mommy left him.

Master regretted it. The prodigal son turned back and changed his identity to get closer to mommy. Mommy found out about it later.

Was this the reason why the master erased Mommy’s memories and took her to live in seclusion in Qi Mountain?

Qin Shu gripped her phone tightly and didn’t dare to think about it anymore. If everything was as she had guessed, then how sad would mommy be when she remembered the past?

Fu Tingyu realized that his wife wasn’t right. He took a step forward and pulled her into his embrace. He asked her in a low voice, “What’s wrong, Babe?”

Qin Shu looked up at the man and shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m just thinking about my mommy.”

Fu Tingyu comforted her. “Master will take good care of Mommy. You don’t have to worry.”

“I know. Master will take good care of my mommy. It’s just that I’m afraid…” Qin Shu didn’t know what to say. She suddenly began to hesitate. Should she find mommy and help mommy regain her memories?”

Fu Tingyu knew what his wife was worried about, so he continued to comfort her. “Don’t worry. No matter what happened between the elders, so much time has passed. Mommy was able to make it back in the past, she can still do it now.”

Qin Shu nodded. “You’re right. Now, the most important thing is to find Mommy. The rest can be discussed later.”

“Let’s go downstairs and have breakfast first. You didn’t eat much last night, so you must be hungry.”

Qin Shu didn’t feel hungry at all when she woke up. Now that Xiao Jiu was fine, she indeed felt her stomach protesting, so she followed the man downstairs to have breakfast.

At the dining table, the chef had always prepared her favourite breakfast and congee.

Qin Shu drank a small bowl of congee and ate a few pieces of food. After having something to fill her stomach, her hunger disappeared.

She suddenly remembered that there was something important that she had not told her master. That was, she was not Qin Hai’s daughter.

…

Fu Tingyu hung up the phone and asked someone to prepare breakfast.

After a while, the female servants brought the breakfast to the dining table one after another.

Ling’er brought Xiao Jiu to the dining table and let him sit beside her.

The man’s gaze was fixed on Ling’er. Xiao Bao regained his memory and knew some things about the past. He looked at Ling’er.

These are not what you want.

What you want is not what I want.

Xiao Jiu took a sip of the lean meat porridge. When he raised her head to look at the man, he realized that he was holding a pair of chopsticks but did not say anything.

“Grandpa, what are you thinking about?”

The man looked up at Xiao Jiu and asked with some doubt, “Didn’t you call me Grandmaster? Why did you change your word?”

Xiao Jiu used to call him grandmaster in the past.

“You’re with Grandma, so of course, I have to call you grandpa. Besides, Grandmaster doesn’t sound good.” Xiao Jiu said it as if it was a matter of course. He didn’t forget to voice his dissatisfaction.

Ling’er couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that. “You don’t have a grandson anyway. It’s very suitable for him to call you grandpa at your age.”

The man looked up at Ling’er when he heard that. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. It was only guilt.

Just like what he said on the phone, he would not let Long Ziling leave.

Ling’er noticed that the man was staring at her. She subconsciously touched her face and asked, “Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?”

The man shook his head. “It’s nothing. You should eat more. I feel like you’ve lost weight since you came back.” The man looked at Ling’er.
