352 I’ve Always Known
The Yin family would make a traditional costu for every descendant.
When it ca to Qiao Yue’s generation, the patterns on their uniform were all animals. Yin He’s was a python, and Yin Qi’s was a crane.
The pattern on Qiao Yue’s costu was a dragon.
After Qiao Yue put on her costu, which was for a woman, and stood in front of the mirror, she suddenly felt a little confused. She hadn’t worn won’s clothes for years.
She walked into the tearoom where Old Master Yin had already prepared tea and placed it on the other side of the table. Qiao Yue sat on the side of the tea and took a sip.
The tea slled faintly of jasmine. It wasn’t a very strong tea, but it was still morable.
“Qiao Yue, nice to et you. You look a lot like your mother.”
The old master’s eyes were cloudy, and he was staring at her with a kind smile.
“It’s been so many years. Why didn’t you co to C-Country to find ?”
“Because your mother died an unnatural death, we always thought that you were killed by an extremist organization. It was not until we reinvestigated that we found out that you had returned to the Qiao family.”
“Died an unnatural death?”
In her mory, her mother had died of an illness.
Suddenly, strange mories flooded her mind and Qiao Yue held her head in pain.
The pocket watch, a man’s voice, a soaring fire, and people walking around her.
“Forget what’s happening now. Your mother died of an illness.”
“Your mother died of an illness.”
“My mother didn’t die of illness?”
Old Master Yin nodded. “Your mother died in a fire, but it was no simple fire.”
“Your mother passed away after the fire. Your father was on a mission then and only found out about her death half a year after she passed. He then established The Custodians.”
As Old Master Yin spoke, the scenes of Qiao Yue’s past slowly unfolded like an ancient book.
Qiao Qing and Yin Xun t in the army of C-Country. Qiao Qing’s original na was not Qiao Qing, but Su Qing.
She wasn’t born into a noble family and had always dread of becoming a soldier. She beca an exception and joined the army in her teens.
Yin Xun was her ntor then. The two of them were together for two years when Su Qing grew from a sixteen-year-old ignorant girl to an eighteen-year-old elegant woman.
The relationship between the two grew deeper.
However, at this ti, two missions were issued by the army.
One was to track down the head of the Eugene family, Austin, while the other was to track down the descendants of the Qiao family.
Su Qing used that opportunity to join the Qiao family as a goddaughter. The driver who “eloped” with her at that ti was not Yin Xun, but a mber of the organization.
She left the Qiao family after she found out Qiao Ren and Qiao Li’s connection to the Eugene family. Later, the Qiao brothers also discovered her purpose for being there and kicked her out.
anwhile, Yin Xun used his excellent social skills to quickly beco a VIP guest of the Eugene family.
Yin Xun and Su Qing didn’t et much, but because of the deep love they had for each other, the few tis they t, they got married and had Qiao Yue.
At this point, Old Master Yin took out a wedding photo.
In the wedding photo, Qiao Qing, who was wearing a wedding gown, smiled sweetly as she leaned into Yin Xun’s arms.
And Yin Xun was looking back at her lovingly.
Qiao Yue was stunned when she saw the photo.
This was her mother in her mory, and Yin Xun’s face was exactly the sa as Su Xun’s.
And Qiao Yue herself looked very much like the two of them.
Qiao Yue slowly picked up the wedding photo and called out softly, “Mom.”
Her mother passed away a long ti ago, and her face beca more blurry with ti. However, when Qiao Yue saw this photo, she realized that her mother’s face had never disappeared from her mind.
“Mom.”
Tears rolled off the corners of Qiao Yue’s eyes.
“Your mother died in a mission about the Eugene family.” Old Master Yin sighed heavily at the ntion of Su Qing. “If it weren’t for that scum from the Eugene family, your mother would still be alive.”
“The Eugene family.” Qiao Yue frowned. “Who from the Eugene family?”
“It was a man in the Eugene family who was slightly younger than your parents but had always liked your mother. When he found out about your parents, he sent soone to end your mother.”
