Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Qiaoqiao is Raised by Qiao An!
When Qiao Yun said this, her tone was as casual as if she was discussing a trivial matter.
Little did they know, the three of them were experiencing a storm of emotions inside.
Su Mian’s head was spinning. What had she just heard?
The painting was done by Qiaoqiao’s grandfather? But wasn’t it an original piece by Qiao An?
So…
So… was Qiao An Qiaoqiao’s grandfather?
...
Su Mian couldn’t contain her excitent and involuntarily grabbed Lu Rui’s arm.
Lu Rui almost couldn’t maintain his composure due to the pain. He was also shocked, and though he had his suspicions, he still couldn’t believe it and had to ask again.
“Your grandfather?”
Qiao Yun casually said, “The grandfather who adopted , the one you’ve t.”
“Your grandfather is Qiao An?”
“Mm, his pen na is Qiao An.”
“Your grandfather is Qiao An,” Lu Rui repeated, still in disbelief.
Qiao Yun corrected, “His pen na is Qiao An; his real na isn’t.”
Lu Rui didn’t notice what she had just said.
The simple country elderly man they thought they knew turned out to be Qiao An!
The Qiao An who beca world-famous in his twenties for his incredible paintings!
Even now, his works are still on display in museums for people to admire.
Qiaoqiao was raised by Qiao An!
The sheer amount of information was overwhelming for the three of them.
Lu Rui felt slightly dizzy and also a bit of regret.
Once, Qiao An had been right in front of him, shaking his hand and asking him to take good care of Qiaoqiao, but he didn’t seize the opportunity to ask for an autograph!
Regret!!
Su Mian asked, “But weren’t you raised in the countryside?”
Qiao Yun didn’t deny it: “I grew up in the countryside. Grandpa liked the rural life; he thought it was good.”
Su Mian was still struggling to process it all.
They had always thought their daughter grew up in poverty; who would have imagined she was not poor at all, but actually quite wealthy?
A painting by Master Qiao, if sold, would be worth a fortune.
No wonder Qiaoqiao wasn’t the least bit intimidated when she first returned to the Lu Family, and she didn’t panic when she received the monetary reward they offered.
“Why didn’t you say sothing earlier?” Lu Jingzhi looked at Qiao Yun.
Qiao Yun told them, “I did.”
Her gaze fell on the painting.
The three of them understood imdiately.
Qiao Yun likely intended to hint at sothing through the painting, but because they had preconceived notions, they completely missed the truth.
Until now, when they had finally asked her directly.
Suddenly, Su Mian thought of sothing and asked Qiao Yun, “The part about you not having gone to school, is that true too?”
“Hmm.” Qiao Yun nodded. “Grandpa taught a lot.”
Her mind was filled with an imnse amount of knowledge; she didn’t need schooling at all.
The thing Grandpa taught her most was about the principles of being a good person.
At this, the three of them fell silent.
Lu Rui and Su Mian suddenly realized that they had never asked their daughter about her past, never actively tried to understand her history.
Instead, they had been waiting for Qiaoqiao to open up to them.
They had always thought this approach was correct.
Now they realized they were wrong. If they had been proactive in learning about her, they wouldn’t have waited until now to find out.
As parents, they had failed.
The fact that Qiao Yun was raised by Qiao An was a significant blow to Lu Jingzhi.
After all, he had previously thought that Qiao Yun was a girl from the countryside, unsophisticated and likely to be corrupted by wealth, wanting to mold her into the image of what a lady from a noble family should be like.
He even initially misunderstood her for having poor academic performance, being too proud, and resistant to discipline, nothing like the ideal sister he had imagined.
Now, knowing that his sister was raised by the national painting master Qiao An, a new thought ford in his mind.
