Chapter 1459: Chapter 1453: Recognizing Relatives_1 Chapter 1459: Chapter 1453: Recognizing Relatives_1 “Co in.” Nangong Beiying ca out to greet them after hearing their voices.
“Dad.” Seeing Jing Xin, Jingtao walked straight towards him.
“Taotao.” Jing Xin reached out to hold his son’s hand, following Nangong Beiying into the house.
It wasn’t Qin Xue’s first visit to the Nangong residence, but the grandeur of the place still shocked her every ti. Such majestic architecture was rare even in the future society, let alone this era.
Therefore, she always found herself looking around in awe every ti she visited. However, she had no desire to live here, as the place was too vast and felt rather cold and lonely. Qin Xue preferred the courtyard houses she lived in – they were spacious yet had a sense of elegant simplicity, presenting a different style from the grandeur of the Nangong residence.
“Take a seat, I’ll go get the old man.” Nangong Beiying knew that around this ti Nangong Kunpeng was usually reading in his study.
“Alright.” Everyone replied in unison.
“Knock, knock.” Nangong Beiying knocked on the door of the study.
“Co in.” Nangong Kunpeng, not knowing who would be visiting him at this ti, was generally left undisturbed during his reading ti.
“Dad.” When facing Nangong Kunpeng, Nangong Beiying still referred to him as ‘dad’.
“Yingying, co sit.” Nangong Kunpeng looked at his beloved daughter. Since she had returned, he had been recuperating and living a carefree life, leaving all business matters to her.
“Dad, there’s sothing I need to tell you today. Please don’t get too excited.” Nangong Beiying wanted to prepare him in advance. Nangong Kunpeng’s health had deteriorated significantly since he was poisoned with chronic poison. Fearing that he might get too agitated and experience an adverse reaction, she thought it best to give him a heads-up.
“What is it?” Nangong Kunpeng placed a bookmark in his book before turning to look at his daughter.
“My elder brother may not be dead.” As she spoke, Nangong Beiying kept a close eye on Nangong Kunpeng’s expression.
“Really? But is that possible? His torn and bloodied clothes were brought back to us then, all bear the signs of a wild animal’s teeth. His clothes were soaked in blood.” Nangong Kunpeng recalled his eldest son’s disappearance. He sent people to search for him, but after a long long ti, all they returned with was a bloodied set of clothes. His wife could not bear the shock and her health declined rapidly. She passed away not long after giving birth to their daughter.
Now his daughter claid that his eldest son might still be alive. He felt excited, but wondered if the news was credible? Or had his daughter found the person himself?
“Dad, when have I ever lied to you? The person is in our living room right now. But before we et him, I want to ask you sothing. I hope you can be honest with , okay?” Nangong Beiying thought of Qin Xue’s family.
“Just ask. As long as your brother is truly alive, I’ll tell you everything.” Thinking of his son, Nangong Kunpeng felt that he could face his wife with a clear conscience even if he died.
“Do I have an aunt?” Nangong Beiying asked about a topic never brought up in the Nangong family.
“Yingying, why would you ask that?” Nangong Kunpeng didn’t expect his daughter to ask this question.
“Don’t you rember my sister Qin Xue? She has the sa birthmark as I do. You once told that the birthmark is unique to our family. However, I don’t have any lost sisters out there, do I?” Nangong Beiying did not let her father divert the topic.
“I do have a younger sister, your aunt. Her original na was Nangong Shulan. She was very beautiful and was the sweetest when she was young. We got separated due to war and couldn’t find her ever since. Your grandmother was most worried about her when she passed away.
But no matter how hard we searched, we couldn’t find her. Gradually, this matter was forgotten in the Nangong Family so as not to keep reminding your grandparents of their sorrow.” Nangong Kunpeng was the one who loved his younger sister the most, but sadly she had gone missing since her childhood. In spite of all the efforts they made later on, they still couldn’t find her.
