Chapter 1029: Chapter 1017: This Is Her Handwriting
The three of them, including Qiao Jing, didn’t bother with the wealthy woman and left the Hundred dicine Pharmacy directly.
On the way back, thinking about the annoyed expression of the wealthy woman, Song Jiaqi couldn’t help but laugh heartily, “Hahaha…”
After she had laughed enough, she took Qiao Jing’s arm and said gleefully, “Sister Jing Yun, did you see that? That woman’s face turned green just now, it was so satisfying!”
Hearing Song Jiaqi say this, Qiao Jing thought of the wealthy woman’s colorful expression earlier and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
Even at ho, Song Jiaqi kept grumbling about the incident.
Qiao Jing reckoned she might keep complaining for another year…
Over the next few days, accompanied by Song Jiaqi and Ye Nanxing, Qiao Jing visited hundreds of families with the surna Ming.
Though Zhao City is very large and there are many people with the surna Ming, after days of investigation, there were finally only about a hundred households left.
On this day, after coming out from one of the households, it happened to be lunchti.
The three of them, including Qiao Jing, entered a nearby restaurant and ordered four dishes and a soup.
While eating, Ye Nanxing noticed that the eyes of the male custors in the store kept glancing at Qiao Jing from ti to ti.
It made him very upset!
But soon, sothing that made him even more upset happened.
A young man suddenly approached Qiao Jing, his gaze stuck on her face, and started a conversation, “Hello, can I get to know you? If possible, can we exchange contact information?”
Qiao Jing casually raised her eyes, and before she could say anything, Ye Nanxing had already angrily spoken for her.
“No, please leave our table imdiately and do not disturb our al!”
The young man ignored Ye Nanxing’s words and continued to look at Qiao Jing without blinking, eagerly waiting for her response.
Qiao Jing, with a cold expression, slowly said, “What he said is my intention too, please don’t disturb us.”
Hearing her say this personally, the young man imdiately felt a bit embarrassed.
Though unwilling, being rejected so bluntly, he couldn’t continue to pester and had to leave, looking back with every step.
Just after sending the person away, before Ye Nanxing could celebrate, another young man ca over to chat with Qiao Jing.
“Hello, I think you are very beautiful, very charming, and I would like to make friends with you, don’t know if you’ll give this opportunity?”
Ye Nanxing, unable to bear it anymore, imdiately waved over the bodyguard waiting nearby, pointed at the man trying to chat and instructed, “Take him away for ! Now! Imdiately! Right away!”
“Yes!”
The bodyguard responded and imdiately stepped forward and dragged the man out of the restaurant without a word.
Seeing this, others in the store who intended to flirt all gave up on the idea.
Though the person was driven away and things quieted down, Qiao Jing felt that going out with this face was still sowhat troubleso.
Besides, one couldn’t say for sure when Zhan Qipei and Zhan Nanjing might suddenly return.
With this in mind, Qiao Jing decided to put on the fake skin.
When visiting families, once she truly found so clues, she could take off the fake skin, which was actually fine too…
So, the next day, Qiao Jing went out wearing the fake skin.
When Ye Nanxing saw her like this, he couldn’t help but be a bit stunned, “Your face…”
Song Jiaqi explained beside him, “Don’t be so surprised, these things on Sister Jing Yun’s face were actually put on!”
Ye Nanxing didn’t quite understand, blinking his almond-shaped eyes and asked confusedly, “Why put these things on?”
Qiao Jing, with a calm tone, said the sa words as before, “It’s quieter going out like this.”
Song Jiaqi imdiately added a sentence, “It ans there won’t be any pesky admirers bothering!”
Because she hadn’t understood what it ant before.
So without adding this sentence, she feared Ye Nanxing might not understand it like she didn’t!
Ye Nanxing linked this to yesterday’s chat-up incident and imdiately nodded knowingly, “It does make things a bit better this way…”
He paused, then changed his tone, “But you don’t need to do this, with the strength of our family, I will protect you!”
Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, responding calmly, “I think it’s pretty good like this.”
Hearing this, Ye Nanxing didn’t say anything else.
In his eyes, for anything as long as Doctor Jing Yun feels it’s good, then it’s good!
Over the next two days, the three of them, including Qiao Jing, visited all the remaining hundred households.
However, they still couldn’t find the Grandpa Ming that Song Jiaqi ntioned.
Qiao Jing felt very strange but couldn’t figure out where the problem was.
In the evening, walking on the street with Song Jiaqi and Ye Nanxing, Qiao Jing felt sowhat downhearted.
While she was disappointed, she accidentally turned her head and suddenly saw a pair of couplets pasted on the old house’s gate by the roadside.
Pasting couplets itself wasn’t anything unusual.
What caught Qiao Jing’s attention was the handwriting on these couplets!
Though the couplets were very old, even faded from the wash of wind and rain, she instantly recognized that this was indeed her handwriting!
Seeing Qiao Jing suddenly stop and keep eyeing the old house beside her, Song Jiaqi and Ye Nanxing were both perplexed.
Song Jiaqi asked, “Sister Jing Yun, what’s wrong?”
“The handwriting on this couplet…”
Qiao Jing murmured softly, then lifted her steps toward the old house, and tentatively pushed the old wooden door.
“Creak——”
The wooden door opened in response.
Qiao Jing stepped forward, took a few steps inside.
Song Jiaqi and Ye Nanxing exchanged glances and followed her in.
The house was silent, leaves covering the ground, spider webs hung from the eaves, showing signs of decay, clearly uninhabited for a long ti.
At this mont, a lady from next door ca over.
The lady glanced at Qiao Jing’s group, then asked, “Who are you looking for?”
Qiao Jing slightly moved her lips, pulling out a polite smile, “I’m looking for the person who lived here.”
Hearing this, the lady shook her head, “That might be impossible, he has already passed away.”
“Passed away?”
Qiao Jing’s brows furrowed imperceptibly, then she asked again, “May I ask, was the person who lived here an elderly person with the surna Ming?”
“Yes.” The lady nodded, “His surna was Ming, called Ming Hailou.”
Ming Hailou…
Qiao Jing silently repeated the na, feeling it’s likely that this Ming Hailou is the Grandpa Ming she’s been searching for!
She pondered montarily, then continued to ask, “Auntie, do you know who wrote the couplets on the door?”
The auntie was very warm-hearted, regardless of what Qiao Jing asked, she answered everything thoroughly.
“The couplets were written a few years ago by a young girl who ca from afar to visit Ming Hailou. The young girl was very pretty and wrote very beautifully.”
“I rember, that young girl called Ming Hailou Grandpa Ming; she was likely a relative of Ming Hailou or a child of his friend.”
Upon hearing this, Song Jiaqi and Ye Nanxing also reacted.
The two of them stared with wide eyes at Qiao Jing simultaneously, with several hints of inquiry in their eyes.
