1731 Sister Nian: The Déjà Vu of Two Elementary School Students Falling in Love
Qiao Nian turned to look at him with one hand in her pocket. She hummed softly after a moment of silence.
Jiang Zongjin let out a shaky breath as if he didn’t know how to tell her. “Your mother has always been a mystery. I wanted to tell you about her a long time ago, but I didn’t know how to talk to you about this. I didn’t expect you to have been investigating this.”
After Ji Qing passed away, he had been depressed for a long time and almost left with her.
If his wife had not left him a daughter, Jiang Zongjin might not have lasted until now.
He helped the girl adjust her cap, not hiding the pity in his eyes. He retracted his hand and said gently, “Your mother is a legend.
“She… I’m not sure about many things, but I’ve kept some photos and letters of her. If you want to see them, I’ll bring them to you when I get back.”
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes at him, not replying for a moment.
What era was this? Why were they still writing letters while dating? They were too innocent… It was like two primary school students dating.
She looked at the man again. Even though he was old, she could still see his lean appearance from when he was young. He had the demeanor of a school hunk in a television drama. She pursed her lips. “Yes.”
Jiang Zongjin didn’t know what Qiao Nian was thinking. His brows immediately relaxed upon seeing her nod, and he jogged to catch up with her…

Ji family.
The guests dispersed after the banquet ended. Ji Lingfeng, Xie Yun, and the others also returned home.
Ji Ziyin stayed behind.
A portion of the Ji family stayed with her. They were a small force that usually placed their bets on her.
Soon, a spy from the Ji family returned.
Ji Ziyin tidied up her light yellow skirt. Her eyes were bright and her eyelashes were slightly closed, and her every move revealed her good upbringing. “How is it? Did you find out?”
As soon as she opened her mouth, the people’s eyes fell on the spy.
The spy was an ordinary-looking man. No one would take a second look at him in a crowd.
Such a person was most suitable to gather information.
This person was clearly very respectful to Ji Ziyin. He immediately lowered his head and replied, “Miss, I’ve checked the background of the people from Country Z. That Qiao Nian is nothing special. She’s just an ordinary student from Qing University.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ziyin smiled and stared at his face with her almond-shaped eyes. “An ordinary student from Qing University solved an equation related to black gunpowder? When did Qing University become so awesome?”
She had been focused on studying this knowledge for the past twenty years ever since she was chosen by the Ji family. Everyone praised her for her astonishing talent.
However, she was slapped in the face at the banquet today.
Ji Ziyin still could not accept the fact that she had lost.
She narrowed her eyes and said firmly, “That Qiao Nian is definitely not as simple as she looks! The cleaner her background is, the more I think she’s not simple.”
If they couldn’t find anything about her in the Independent Continent, didn’t that prove how capable this person was?
When Ji Xiao, from one of the Ji family’s side branches, saw how serious Ji Ziyin was, he interjected disapprovingly, “Ziyin, aren’t you thinking too much? She’s just a girl from Country Z. She was just lucky enough to solve a question. I don’t think we need to pay too much attention to her.”
