Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Lu Qingyun was staring intently at that, Huang Weiqi couldn't help but raise his hand and wave it in front of her eyes.

"Who is that?"

Huang Weiqi followed her gaze.

It was a photograph, and it looked like it had been taken a long time ago; the photo was somewhat yellowed.

Wan Yi got up and took the photo frame.

"Is this what you mean, Qingqing?"

Lu Qingyun nodded and pointed her slender white finger at the girl in the photo.

"Who is this?"

"This person is a very, very good person."

When Wan Yi spoke of her, a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.

"Sis, do you think something's wrong?"

Huang Weiqi also leaned in.

Lu Qingyun examined the photo carefully, but because the person in the photo was so young, she couldn't make a judgment for the time being.

"I think she looks familiar."

look familiar?

Could it be that you've seen her before?

In an instant, everyone in the room focused their attention on Lu Qingyun.

"Qingqing, you...you've seen her before?"

The most excited were Wan Yi and Mr. Huang.

"I'm not sure if it's her."

Lu Qingyun shook her head.

Wan Yi's eyes were slightly red. She grabbed Lu Qingyun's hand and asked, "Qingqing, do you have any photos?"

Perhaps Wan Yi's condition was really not right, so Lu Qingyun held her hand to comfort her, "Yes, I'll show it to you."

As she spoke, Lu Qingyun took out her phone from her pocket, found the photos she had taken of Aunt Huang, and showed them to Wan Yi and the others.

"...It's her."

Wan Yi's voice was already trembling with sobs.

When Mr. Huang saw this photo, he could barely stand. If it weren't for Huang Shang supporting him from behind, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.

Huang Weiqi didn't know much about the older generation, but the girl in the photo was indeed a taboo subject in his family.

Seeing what was happening, he looked at Lu Qingyun, and then at Wan Yi, who was already crying.

"sister……"

Lu Qingyun gave him a reassuring look, then pulled Wan Yi to sit down and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.

Her movements carried an inexplicable air of nonchalance.

For some reason, Wan Yi cried even harder after Lu Qingyun wiped away her tears.

Lu Qingyun: ...

After a few minutes, Wan Yi calmed herself down and said, "Qingqing, I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

Lu Qingyun peeled a piece of candy that Gu Jinming had put in his pocket, and put it in Wan Yi's mouth.

The sweet taste spread in her mouth, and Wan Yi calmed down.

"Qingqing, where have you seen her before? Is she doing well now? Is she with a very pretty and cool girl?"

Wan Yi grabbed Lu Qingyun's hand and pressed her for an answer.

After drinking the water that Huang Shang poured for him, Old Huang's complexion improved slightly.

Upon hearing Wan Yi's question, he also turned his gaze in this direction.

"She's very nice. I haven't met the girl you're talking about."

I don't know if photos count.

Aunt Huang rarely mentioned Qiao Xialan in front of her, so Lu Qingyun knew very little about her.

Do you know where she is now?

This question was asked by Elder Huang.

"know."

"What's Qingqing's relationship with her?"

"very good."

After all, Aunt Huang had watched her grow up since she was a child, so their relationship was naturally special.

"Qingqing, can we go see her?"

Lu Qingyun pursed her lips slightly, "What's your relationship with Aunt Huang?"

“She is my younger sister, Huang Jinxin. I am ten years older than her. Thirty years ago, something happened and she suddenly cut off ties with her family for some unknown reason. After that, we lost all contact with her.”

Mr. Huang explained, "Over the years, I have never given up looking for her, but I have never heard from her."

Old Master Huang's sister?

Aunt Huang is actually related to the Huang family?

"Aunt Huang didn't mention anything about this place."

Not to mention anything about this place, even Aunt Huang's name was kept very well hidden.

"Perhaps he harbors resentment towards this place."

Old Huang sighed.

The exact reason was unclear to Mr. Huang.

He had investigated secretly, but those people were too secretive, and he hadn't found out a single clue.

Wan Yi stared blankly for a moment, then asked, "Qingqing, do you know the Qiao family?"

There are many people with the surname Qiao, most of whom are not very famous, and there are quite a few in Beijing as well.

Moreover, her mother's surname was Qiao.

"I don't know much about it."

Because she had never met Qiao Xialan, she never investigated her family background, even after she grew up.

"Qiao Xialan, Qingqing, do you know this name?"

Lu Qingyun was somewhat surprised that Wan Yi knew her mother's name. "Yes, my mother."

Wan Yi was stunned for a moment, then felt that this was an expected result.

But Huang Lao and the others hadn't expected this.

“No wonder Qingqing looks familiar.” Wan Yi patted her head. “Your eyes are very similar to Xia Lan’s, and your style of doing things is also similar.”

Tears welled up in Wan Yi's eyes again.

Lu Qingyun panicked slightly and quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears.

Wan Yi: ……

This is definitely Qiao Xialan's child.

Their styles of doing things are very similar.

She and Qiao Xialan were best friends, having known each other since kindergarten. Later, she quietly got married, and a few months later, she unusually told Qiao Xialan, like a little woman, that she was pregnant.

Because Qiao Xialan said that the other party took good care of her, and her words implied that she was very happy now.

Wan Yi was also very happy for her, and every time the two met, she would give her a lot of health supplements.

When Qiao Xialan was about to give birth, she was also pregnant at the time. She wanted to visit her, or even just stay by her side, but Qiao Xialan refused.

After that, there was no further news about her.

Then... came the news of her death.

Along with that, Huang Jinxin, who had always taken care of them, also disappeared.

Something was amiss. They sent people to investigate, but they didn't get any information.

After hearing Wan Yi's words, Lu Qingyun narrowed her eyes, a chill running through them.

"I need to ask Aunt Huang about the meeting. It's getting late, I'll come to see you another day."

Lu Qingyun stood up as she spoke.

Wan Yi knew that Lu Qingyun needed time to process what she had heard, so she also got up and said, "I'll see Qingqing out."

Old Huang also wanted to go, but Huang Shang stopped him: "Dad, don't rush, sit down and rest for a while. Let Wan Yi take Qingqing. We'll wait for Qingqing's news about meeting Aunt."

Old Huang nodded.

……

After returning to the manor from the Huang family, Lu Qingyun found herself inexplicably in Gu Jinming's study.

The door wasn't closed; it was wide open.

The man wore gold-rimmed chain glasses on his nose and looked down at his phone.

Lu Qingyun glanced at it, then turned around, thinking she should go back to her room first.

However, she had barely moved when the man's deep voice came over.

"Qingqing, what are you doing standing at the door? Come here."

Lu Qingyun obediently went inside, but halfway there, she suddenly stopped.

No, why does she listen to him so much?

Gu Jinming had already put down his phone and looked up at Lu Qingyun. His eyes were slightly curved, full of tenderness.

Why are you standing there like that?
