Chapter 904: Memories (1)

Thirteen years ago, Linjia Town in C City, Tianyang Province.

Linjia was a small village next to a mountain and a river. It was located deep in the mountain. Although it was not easily accessible, the scenery within it was beautiful. A few ethnic minorities and Han people lived there. The people were simple and honest. The place could be described to be a paradise.

In Linjia, most people had the surname Lin. This was also the reason for the town’s name, which meant “Lin family.”

However, there were also many outsiders in Linjia. Some of them had heard that the environment here was good and came to settle down.

Among them was a young man named Zong Yanxiu.

He was extremely good-looking. At least in the eyes of the people in this town, the best-looking gra.s.s in the town could not compare to him.

He was handsome, but he did not look feminine. His personality was gentle.

He was like a man who grew up in Jiangnan. He was calm and peaceful.

Many girls in the town had their eyes on him.

He lived in one of the ancient mansions in the town. This ancient mansion was not very luxurious. He had bought it back then. It cost tens of thousands of yuan. It was not a small amount. Everyone knew that he was not only handsome, but he also had money.

Unfortunately, he had a daughter.

His daughter had followed him. If one looked closely, they would think that she did not look like him, but she was obedient, exquisite, and beautiful. In the eyes of many people in the town, she was his daughter.

He brought only his daughter here and lived here for five years.

His daughter had also grown from a little baby into a little girl. She was in school with the other students in the town.

Someone had once asked him why he did not have a wife. This young man always smiled and said in a very gentle tone, “The child’s mother has something to do. She’s overseas and can’t come back. I like living here with the child. It’s quiet here. No one will disturb her.”

Although he was being vague, to the people in the town, “overseas” was a very distant word.

Some of them had probably never left this town in their entire lives, so they naturally felt that such a thing was a very mysterious matter.

From then on, no one asked.

Many people glanced at him and wanted to introduce a girlfriend to him, but he rejected them.

He rejected them gently, saying that the child had a mother and would come back sooner or later.

The people in the town could not make things difficult for him. Besides, they felt that it was a sin to make things difficult for such a gentle person.

If it were anywhere else, gossip would have piled up.

Occasionally, he would take the child out. When he came back, he would have a lot of things from the outside world. The townspeople had never seen such things before. Sometimes, he would even generously give something to the people in the town. Of course, this made it even harder for people to find out what secrets he had.

“Daddy!”

It was another afternoon. Su Cha came back from cla.s.s and pouted. She pushed the door open and found no one in the hall. As she spoke, she went to look into the fridge.

She was a little hungry. She searched the fridge and found fruit on the top shelf. However, it was still too high for her. She looked around and found a short stool. She stepped on it and took out an apple.

Just as she was about to bite it, she heard a gentle voice. “Xiao Cha, how many times have I told you not to eat cold food directly? It will upset your stomach.”
