I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

System: [It’s a pity that all of Sister Cuixi’s family members have passed away. Now the only person who remembers her is her childhood sweetheart.]

This sentence silenced everyone present.

Lu hurriedly turned to look at Cui Xi, and held Cui Xi's hand tightly with concern, hoping to pass on his strength to Cui Xi in this way.

He had just learned the news about his family, but the next moment he received even more shocking news.

There is news about family members, but they are no longer around.

This just gave hope, but also brought despair. How could a normal person bear the extreme joy and sorrow?

At this moment, Mrs. Lu was very worried that Cui Xi would be too traumatized and do something bad.

But Cui Xi is actually stronger than Lu imagined.

It is also possible that she has no concept of her family and no memories of them, so if she is sad, it is not too much.

Sure enough, there are some things that you really can’t expect too much. Otherwise, the more you expect, the greater the disappointment, and the harder it will be to extricate yourself.

But what Cui Xi wanted to know most now was, why? Why did all her family members disappear?

Qin Yue also wanted to know, and immediately asked loudly: [Sister, why are all Sister Cuixi's family members gone? What happened? ]

System: [The Chu family did not have many people. At that time, there were only six people in the Chu family, including Sister Cui Xi’s grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and one brother.]

[This brother is three years older than Sister Cuixi. He is not a biological child of the Chu family, but was adopted by the Chu family. He is also Sister Cuixi’s childhood sweetheart, Chu Ran.]

[When Sister Cuixi disappeared, the Chu family immediately mobilized the entire family to look for her, and even spent a lot of money to search for her in various places.]

[It was only a few years later that the search ended, and there was still no news. The once lucrative business was gradually reduced by the huge expenses of searching for people year after year, and gradually the income was not enough to cover the expenses.]

[This was also the beginning of the decline of the wealthy Chu family. ]

[After experiencing so many disappointments, the Chu family, especially Sister Cuixi's grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother, could no longer bear it and fell ill. They died not long after.]

[So, now Chu Ran is the only one left in the Chu family. ]

Qin Yue felt extremely upset when she heard this.

She remembered a movie she had watched in her previous life, "Lost and Love", which tells the story of a father's journey to find his son for more than ten years. The hardships and sufferings involved are simply unimaginable for ordinary people.

Isn’t Sister Cui Xi’s family’s years-long journey to find their daughter just another version of “Lost and Love”?

[Alas...sister, I didn't expect that Cuixi's family had been insisting on looking for Cuixi, and even lost all their assets in the process. How sad must they be to have a heart disease and die of grief! It's really too sad.]

Cui Xi didn't know what expression to make at this moment. She felt as if a thousand needles were pricking her heart. It was so painful that she couldn't breathe. Big tears streamed down her cheeks, but she seemed unaware.

Mrs. Lu held Cui Xi in her arms to comfort her with concern.

Over the years, Cui Xi had never cried because of her own affairs. The only time she cried was because she had a cold and a fever for two days. Cui Xi stayed by her bedside until her eyes were red. The moment she finally woke up, Cui Xi completely released her emotions and burst into tears.

It would be fine if Cui Xi could cry loudly at this moment, but Cui Xi was so quiet at this moment that she seemed to have lost her soul.

No wonder she couldn't remember the wealthy businessman named Chu in Jiangnan. It turned out that he had fallen into decline a long time ago, or had long disappeared...

Ugh……

Old Madam Qin stood up silently and carefully turned Qin Yue's cradle towards herself to prevent Qin Yue from seeing Cui Xi, who was in tears.

Her heart was filled with helplessness and sighs. She never expected that things would develop to this point.

After so many years, I finally got news about my family, but suddenly learned that they were all gone. The reason for all this was Cui Xi's disappearance.

Faced with this fact, Old Madam Qin couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Although Cui Xi was still young at the time and it was not her fault that she was abducted, the decline of the Chu family and the deaths of the Chu family members were ultimately inextricably linked to her.

This feeling of self-blame must have deeply tormented Cui Xi's heart, making it difficult for her to let go.

Alas... fate plays tricks on people! I can only hope that time can slowly heal her spiritual trauma.

System: [Oh, that's right! It's all the fault of those human traffickers! Without them, the Chu family wouldn't be destroyed today! ]

Qin Yue: [Sister, you said before that a human trafficker ran with Sister Cuixi, and then they fell off the cliff together, and the one who was caught by a tree branch is still alive? ]

System: [Still alive! There happened to be a small cave next to where he was hung, so he crawled in. After the bandits left, he slowly climbed up.]

[It was also because of him that Chu Ran found out about Sister Cui Xi. ]

Qin Yue: [Oh? What do you mean?]

Cui Xi finally reacted after hearing this. She silently wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath, and continued listening.

Now Chu Ran is the only one left in the Chu family. She has to treat him well no matter what, even if she still can't remember who he is.

However, since he never gave up looking for her all these years, she should repay him well!

He is also the only person in the world who still remembers the Chu family...

System: [After the four members of the Chu family passed away, Chu Ran also sold all of the Chu family's property. He carried the portrait of Cui Xi when she was a child and walked along the way, asking "Excuse me, have you seen this little girl?" ...]

[He happened to meet the human trafficker in a county town. The trafficker looked closely at the portrait and found that it was the little girl he had failed to kidnap many years ago.]

[Because that incident left such a deep impression on him, after all, he escaped death, so he still remembers Sister Cuixi's appearance clearly.]

[But he didn't dare to tell Chu Ran directly, "I am a member of the gang that kidnapped the little girl. Wouldn't that be a trap for me? I would definitely be sent to the government."]

[In fact, he has not had a good life these years. After escaping from the cliff and returning home, he did not dare to continue to engage in kidnapping. He just farmed honestly for a living and occasionally went to the county town to buy some wine.]

[Chu Ran ran into the trafficker on his way to the wine shop.]

[In addition to fear, the traffickers also felt guilty over the years. So when they saw that the little girl's family was still looking for her after so many years, especially when they saw Chu Ran's tattered clothes and haggard face, they knew how miserable the person in front of them had been on the road, and they were moved.]

[So, he wrote the little girl's message on a piece of paper and asked a little beggar to deliver it to Chu Ran with a copper coin.]
