Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2738 - 2674: It’s Her

Jiang Xiao’s heart was filled with waves of emotions, but her face remained calm and unflustered."So, how old is this Red Bean?"

"As you mentioned, she should be about thirty-five or thirty-six by now."

The age matches too!

"When did she arrive at Luofeng Institute?"

"Let me think about it," Gao Shan said. "It’s probably seven or eight years ago? I can’t really remember."

Jiang Xiao asked, "Can you describe what this Red Bean looks like?"

"In a word, the most beautiful flower in Luofeng Institute." Gao Shan’s gaze drifted, as if trying to look back a few years. "But, she wasn’t very well-liked. It seemed like none of the women at Luofeng Institute wanted to be around her or talk to her. They said she was a bit odd, somewhat neurotic, and maybe too pretty, with fair skin, making everyone feel they were not in the same league."

Very beautiful, that matches too.

"Red Bean didn’t mind. She was always on her own, and whenever I saw her, she was alone."

"Weren’t there many children in the orphanage? Maybe she got along well with them?"

Gao Shan shook his head, "No, Red Bean was not responsible for taking care of the children in the orphanage. Her job was arranging, tidying, sewing, cleaning, and sometimes she’d draw on the walls to add some decoration, or make little picture books for the children. She was very skillful, and her drawings were beautiful, but she didn’t like to talk much, and her face never had a smile, much less did she get close to the children."

Her face was never seen with a smile...

Jiang Xiao felt a pang in her heart, an inexplicable sadness.

She took a deep breath and then slowly unfolded a portrait of Shi Xiaoching in front of Gao Shan. "Director Gao, please take a look, is this Red Bean?"

Her palms were sweaty.

Jiang Xiao had never been this nervous.

She held her breath, watching Gao Shan closely, not missing any of his expressions.

Gao Shan furrowed his brows slightly when he saw the portrait.

"Huh? Wait a minute, let me take a closer look."

What does this mean?

The portrait Jiang Xiao had shown to Sixth Young Master Jiang before was created based on the description of Fei Cui and her appearance.

Later, after Sixth Young Master Jiang recalled Shi Xiaoching, he provided some modifications to the portrait, depicting Shi Xiaoching as he remembered.

Pure beauty, clear eyes, a gentle smile with a hint of shyness.

The image of an innocent, pure young girl.

She looked about fifteen years old.

The last time Gao Shan saw Red Bean was two and a half years ago, and at that time, Red Bean was already around thirty-two or thirty-three.

So there was already a difference from a fifteen-year-old girl.

Initially, he felt that the girl in the portrait looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t identify her as Red Bean, as it was merely a portrait—that Jiang Xiao had drawn based on Sixth Young Master’s description—naturally, it couldn’t be exactly identical to the person herself.

"Is it her?" Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

Gao Shan glanced at her, then focused back on the portrait. "The person in this portrait looks a bit like you."

However, the girl in the portrait was a bit more like the delicate and charming type, while Jiang Xiao’s appearance was more vibrant and elegant.

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

What she was asking was whether this was Red Bean, not if the person in the portrait looked like her.

Gao Shan looked for a while longer and finally dared to be sure, "It should be Red Bean, when she was younger."

It was as if something clanged directly in her ears, and Jiang Xiao was suddenly stunned.
