351 Reunion
The cars arrived at the Yin residence rather quickly.
The Yin residence was in the style of old Japanese architecture, with beautiful wooden buildings and a huge lawn.
When they arrived, Yin He was already waiting at the entrance. He was standing at the door with a group of Yin family people.
Unlike when he was in C-Country, he was wearing a traditional outfit from K-Country with an embroidered golden python.
The python was wrapped around its own body with its fierce head resting on its chest. It looked like it could swallow everything.
When Qiao Yue got out of the car, her eyes met Yin He’s.
“Welcome, distinguished guests from the Qiao family.”
Yin He’s gaze fell on Su Xun.
Su Xun did not look at Yin He. Instead, he walked toward the main hall.
When the servants of the Yin family saw Su Xun, their expressions were a little strange.
“The Yin family has already prepared a welcome banquet for everyone. Please come with me.”
Yin He led everyone into the main hall.
Most of the furniture at the Yin residence were made of wood, and they looked very simple and unadorned.
The dining table was already filled with dishes that the three of them liked.
There was also an old man, a girl who was about Qiao Yue’s age, and a woman in her forties sitting at the table.
The girl who was about Qiao Yue’s age also looked like her.
“Grandpa, Auntie, we’ve brought our guests back. We can eat now.”
The people at the dining table were all dressed in K-Country’s traditional clothing. The old man seemed to be in high spirits, and the little girl and the woman looked very dignified.
Qiao Yue followed Qiao Jing to the dining table and looked at the three people sitting across from them.
“This is the current elder of the Yin family, Yin Yue. This is my aunt, Yin Ming, and this is my sister, who is also my aunt’s child, Yin Qi.”
Yi He paused for a moment before he said, “This is the second young master and the fifth young miss of the Qiao family.”
“Yin He?” Qiao Jing looked at Yin He. “Qiao Yue is our fifth young master, not miss. What do you mean by that?”
“Don’t you know Qiao Yue’s true gender? Is it a secret to you?” Yin He smiled as he said. “As for this man, Uncle, how have you been all these years? Are you happy? Have you thought about my aunt and your daughter who is far away in C-Country?”
Su Xun looked at Yin He with a face as cold as ice.
“What are you trying to say?”
“Alright, let’s eat.” Grandpa Yin slammed the table.
“My granddaughter and son came back together today. Aren’t you going to let me eat in peace?”
Old Master Yin’s words dropped like a huge bomb on the dining table.
“What?” Qiao Yue stood up and looked at the few people around the dining table. “What are you hiding from me?”
“Let’s eat first, Qiao Yue. I’ve specially chosen your favorite dishes today.”
Old Master Yin looked at Qiao Yue and said, “I’ll explain everything after we are done eating.”
Qiao Yue couldn’t eat the meal in peace. Her heart was beating fast and her hands and feet felt cold.
Regarding secrets from the past, there was only the matter of her mother. Now, this mystery was about to be solved.
If she guessed correctly, Old Master Yin was her grandfather, in which case, Su Xun was her father.
That would explain why she felt an unusual sense of familiarity when she met Su Xun.
This sense of familiarity came from their blood relationship.
“Our family uniform. I’ve also ordered a set for Qiao Yue. After you’re done with dinner, change into it and come see me in the tearoom.” The old master finished eating very quickly and was the first to leave the table.
Qiao Yue’s eyes followed Old Master Yin.
Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Qiao Yue turned to look at Qiao Jing, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief. “Second brother, I think it’s better if you let me handle my own matters.”
Qiao Yue’s voice was cold, as if their closeness all this while was just a dream. Now that they had woken up from the dream, Qiao Yue had returned to her cold and unapproachable self.
“Qiao Yue, I’m worried about you.”
“Second young master Qiao, there’s nothing to worry about. This is the Yin residence, and it’s also Miss Qiao’s home. Her family won’t harm her, so you can rest assured.”
After Qiao Yue finished eating, she got up and walked to the room where the family uniform was laid out for her.
There was a faint chill around her, and Qiao Jing felt an inexplicable heartache as he watched her.
He only lied to her this once, but just this once might have destroyed their relationship.
