Qiao Yuning, who had just picked up the chopsticks, heard what he said and immediately slapped the chopsticks on the table and yelled at him, "What are you talking about?!"
The man was not surprised at all by her reaction, and even smiled, but there were a few sparkles in his eyes, which seemed to contain some tears.
This smile made Qiao Yuyan feel sad for no reason, but she still stood and looked at him coldly.
"Did you go to Qiao's house and didn't see your mother? Did they not let you see her for a moment?"
Qiao Yuning thought of yesterday's experience. The Qiao family was indeed very strange. It was a very ridiculous thing for her mother to serve the old lady.
But it is even more strange that they tried every possible means to prevent them from knowing the whereabouts of their mother.
She thought that her mother had been controlled or locked up. Even last night, she thought about it in her mind and wondered whether her mother had been sent away.
The Qiao family had always disliked their mother, so it seemed normal to send her away.
But the fact that the person in front of her was already dead was something she would never have expected.
"You...where did you hear the rumors? I won't let you go if you talk nonsense like this."
The man's hand slipped from the corner of his eye, seeming to wipe away a tear, "Your mother is not an ordinary person, we both serve the same organization.
Oh, by the way, in fact, your mother is not the niece of that old lady of yours. The family named Pei has been killed by us, and your mother just took on the other person's identity."
He said such words lightly, and Qiao Yuning felt like a fool at this moment, not even understanding a word of it.
But the other party just continued, "Back then, your mother and I had a private life-long commitment, which was not allowed in the organization, but fortunately no one found out.
But it happened that after your mother went to the Qiao family, she found out that she was pregnant, so she designed Qiao Weisheng to become the Qiao family's aunt. Later, she also designed her to save the Xu family's life, causing the so-called premature birth.
In fact, you were not born prematurely, you were born at full term, and you are my and her child!"
Qiao Yuning felt that she was listening to a book from heaven. Only then did she sneer, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't believe a word of it."
"You know that your mother has a small brown mole the size of a grain of rice on her lower back, right?"
Qiao Yuning's eyes widened. If the person in front of her wasn't telling the truth, it meant that he had peeked at his mother or learned about it from somewhere else.
But except for those close to him, no one would know this.
"You know that there is a scar on your mother's left shoulder below the clavicle, and it is in the same position on the front and back, right? That was an injury she suffered when we went on a mission together a long time ago. She was hit by a three-inch-wide knife.
The sword pierced the shoulder.
We chased that person for half a month, so she never had a good rest, which is why she got scars on her body. She has always been concerned about this matter, and later used a lot of ointments to remove scars, but it had no effect.
"
The more he talked, the harder it became for Qiao Yuning to question what he said.
He even understands Pei Yayi better than his own daughter.
"Who...are you?"
"I said, I am your father!" The man looked at Qiao Yuning seriously again, "I didn't lie, and there is no need to lie.
Originally, when I came to the capital this time, I came to take you, mother and daughter away. I planned to live in seclusion elsewhere as a family of three. I even found a place.
But as a result, I heard about her death as soon as I stepped into the capital. I haven't shown up in the past few days. I don't know how to face her, and I don't know how to face you."
Qiao Yuning felt that her head hurt. She suddenly received too much information this night, and the information was too annoying for her to accept.
She held her head and even wanted to hit the wall, but she just relived every word he just said over and over in her mind.
Only then did she realize that she had actually begun to accept most of the things he said, except for one thing.
"I don't believe it!" She suddenly roared loudly at him, "Why do you say that my mother is dead? I obviously saw her not long ago..."
Qiao Yuning herself didn't have the confidence to say this. Meeting her mother was already before she left the cabinet.
She couldn't get out of the Wen family at all. Mrs. Wen seemed to be keen on torturing her. She would call her every day and find something for her to do.
Regarding her going out, he directly said that if she was caught going out without asking for permission, she would be punished according to the family rules.
She didn't know what the family rules were, but Mrs. Wen's treatment was never easy.
Qiao Yuning suddenly felt a little desperate in her heart. How could this be possible?
How could it be possible that my mother is dead?
She clearly said that she would live a good life.
After thinking about it, Qiao Yuning started to hate her again. If her mother was really so powerful, why would she let her take this path now?
There must be a way for her to take a brighter path.
The man suddenly appeared next to Qiao Yuning. He stretched out his hand and gently touched Qiao Yuning's head. "My child, it's because I was late. It's because I didn't save your mother."
This kind of comfort actually made Qiao Yuning feel much more peaceful.
But she was still sad, but her words were no longer sharp, "When did it happen and how did she die? Who did it?"
"I can't tell you the specific details. Your mother and I's greatest hope in this life is for you to not be involved in our affairs.
Your mother died a few days ago. Just two days before the funeral of the second wife of the Qiao family, she was killed. As for who it was, it is not clear yet, and there is no way to go to the Qiao family to investigate.
The Qiao family has been cleaned very clean this time, and there is only so much we can detect so far. In fact, I still don’t know where your mother’s body is or how they disposed of it.”
The word "remains" made Qiao Yuning shudder. She couldn't associate these two words with Pei Yayi.
When we last met, my mother still looked radiant. Because of Concubine Hui's relationship, she had regained her status in the Qiao family, and she was almost the same as before.
How could he die suddenly?
After Qiao Yuning cried for a while, the man said, "It's getting late. I'll send you back, otherwise you will suffer again in the Wen family."
Only then did Qiao Yuning realize that it was getting very late outside.
"This maid..." The man's eyes suddenly fell on Chenxing, and his brows furrowed, exuding a feeling of extreme danger, "Don't keep her?"
