Chapter 1245: Chapter 1246: Such a Man
ng Xinian shook his head and said, “It may not necessarily be about those legendary treasures. However, the value of the ng Family Old Mansion is far greater than that cache of treasures, of course, to those who cherish it. Although I’m not exactly clear about the old stories Grandfather once told you, I do know of another matter that even he has never heard of.”
Chiang Xiao was stunned.
The ng Family Old Mansion had so many hidden depths?
There really were quite a few related people and events.
ng Xinian said, “It was my mother who told . Back then, my maternal grandfather wanted to fight for the old mansion, actually wanting to leave a share for his adopted son.”
“Ah? Adopted son?”
“Hmm, to call him adopted brother—actually, Nian Che was the illegitimate child of my grandfather’s older brother. But his existence was sothing the family would be very concerned about, so in order to ease his brother’s worries, my grandfather brought him back and recognized him as his adopted son. This way, he could still carry the Nian surna and live in the Nian Family.”
ng Xinian’s recollection wasn’t very clear.
After all, he was still young at that ti, and his mother might have shared this with him pieceal because she truly had no one else to confide in.
As for how exactly his mother had talked about Nian Che, ng Xinian could hardly rember it now.
But his mother had told him that marrying into the ng Family, which allowed both ng Nian families to share the old mansion, she felt sowhat sorry for her adopted brother, as Nian Che should have had a share in the old mansion too.
However, ng Xinian’s impression of Nian Che was almost nonexistent.
In his mory, there was rely a fragnt, an image of Nian Che’s silhouette.
It seed that he saw Nian Che when going out with his mother?
They hadn’t spoken much before Nian Che turned and walked away, leaving him and his mother standing there, watching his figure growing further away.
Another ti was entirely engulfed in dark blackness; he never wanted to rember that mont, which would cause his heart to feel icy cold whenever it crossed his mind.
Chiang Xiao asked blankly, “But what does this have to do with Duan Qingqing?”
ng Xinian ca back to his senses, t her puzzled gaze, and after a mont of silence, he said, “This is just an intuition of mine, unconfird and without a way to confirm. At the funeral of my mother, Nian Che appeared for the last ti. It rained that day. He held a black umbrella, wore all black, and stood far away, glancing over before turning to leave. It was then that I saw, even further in the distance, Duan Qingqing watching him.”
Chiang Xiao gasped for air.
She almost doubted what she heard.
The aning of what Tyrant ng said was clear—he was suggesting Duan Qingqing had so sort of special feelings for Nian Che back then!
Could it be?
“Maybe because of that incident, afterward, I could never bring myself to like her,” he mused.
ng Xinian saw her pondering blankly and couldn’t resist pinching her face, saying, “Alright, you’re better off just knowing about these things, don’t think too much on it.”
“I just want to ask, since you knew about those things back then, why didn’t you investigate?”
“Investigate?” ng Xinian sneered, “There’s no need. No matter the reason she married ng Chaojun, the fact is, they did get married. Whether ng Chaojun is a fool or an idiot is of no interest to .”
As long as he didn’t see it, that was fine.
That’s why he had always been reluctant to go back; no matter how much he uncovered the truth, Duan Qingqing was now ng Chaojun’s wife, and that was the fact.
