My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather's House!

Chapter 265 - 265 Family

265 Family

That sort of made sense.

Perhaps someone in Andy’s family knew Qiao Qing and told Andy about her. Therefore, Andy said those things to him at the banquet just now…

But that didn’t explain how Andy knew Qiao Yue’s true gender.

It couldn’t just be a random guess on his part.

“Did aunt mention fifth brother when she wrote to you?”

Old Master Qiao nodded. “Yes. She told me that she had given birth to a son. Unfortunately, her son couldn’t be reunited with his father. That man had abandoned your aunt.”

Qiao Jing frowned.

Qiao Qing didn’t even tell the old master that Qiao Yue was a girl, which meant only very few people in the world knew that Qiao Yue was a girl.

How then did Andy know? He couldn’t be related to Qiao Yue, right?

“Thanks, Grandpa.” Qiao Jing lowered his head respectfully.

“Why did you suddenly ask me about your aunt today? Did something happen?”

Qiao Yue hesitated for a moment before he told Old Master Qiao about his encounter with Andy.

Old Master Qiao’s brows furrowed at the mention of the Eugene family.

The Eugene family had been prosperous for centuries. Old Master Qiao had himself dealt with the head of the family when he was young.

“The Eugene family. Although the descendants are all outstanding in their respective fields, the Eugene family has always been malevolent. They own many illegal businesses.”

Old Master Qiao shook his head.

“The Qiao descendants must never be involved in those shady businesses.”

Qiao Jing nodded.

The Qiao family was an upright, aristocratic family who had never been involved any immoral businesses. It had been this way even for Qiao Jing’s generation.

“I’ve already refused any collaboration with the Eugene family, and I won’t have anything to do with them in future. Don’t worry, Grandpa, the Qiao family will never join them in their evil ways.”

The two of them chatted for a while more before Qiao Jing left.

Old Master Qiao was still recuperating, so he shouldn’t be strained.

After saying goodbye to the old master, Qiao Jing went to his study.

Qiao Yue’s background, as well as Qiao Qing’s relationship with the Eugene family… These mysteries were all tangled up in his mind.

He had investigated Qiao Yue before, but all he found were her linkages to Yayi and KA. Qiao Yue seemed to be the real boss of KA, and she worked behind the scenes.

However, if Qiao Yue really grew up in a remove village like Nanshan Village, how did she possess so many talent and skills, and how did she found KA company?

Qiao Jing couldn’t figure this out.

Unless Qiao Yue was raised by someone else!

Qiao Jing massaged his aching glabella. Just as he was feeling vexed, someone knocked.

Qiao Yue walked in with some fruits and drinks.

She still looked a little weak. Her lips and face were pale.

“Why are you here?”

“I came over when I found out that you were here. Thank you for taking care of me yesterday. Sorry to have troubled you with my illness.”

Qiao Jing’s heart ached when he heard this.

How many secrets did Qiao Yue keep? How much pain was she suffering that he didn’t know about?

Qiao Jing reached out and took the tray from Qiao Yue and put it on his desk. He then looked at Qiao Yue.

“You don’t have to do these things. We’re family. It’s my duty to take care of you.”

Qiao Jing’s care and concern had long surpassed that of a relative. It was moving in a direction that Qiao Yue couldn’t understand.

But Qiao Yue still held Qiao Jing’s hand tightly and nodded. “We’re family. We should take care for each other.”

“Second brother, you look very tired. Would you like me to give you a massage?” Qiao Yue asked.

Qiao Jing nodded, adjusted the back of his chair, and leaned back.

Qiao Yue walked behind him and started to massage his temples.

Her fingers were a little cold, but her strength was as gentle and slow as before. Her movements calmed Qiao Jing’s anxiety and nervousness.

“Qiao Yue, if you have any secrets, don’t hide them from me.” Qiao Jing suddenly said.

The hands on his shoulders paused for a moment, and the air in the room became still.

After a long time, Qiao Yue answered softly, “Okay.”

Qiao Yue’s massage skills were good as always. Qiao Jing relaxed after a while and even took a short nap.

When Qiao Jing awoke, he felt his mind clearer.

He straightened the back of his chair, looked at Qiao Yue, and took a deep breath. “Qiao Yue, how much do you remember about your mother?”
