"You... Why are you telling me this?"
Qin Sijue turned his eyes, "You also have the Demon’s Blood in you, and I wonder if you could be the lost pearl of the Nangong Family?"
He spoke casually, as if the words were just an offhand remark.
Gu Qiangwei listened, thinking he was joking with her like last time, so she glanced at him irritably, "Can you not joke about such preposterous things with me in the future?"
"Why do you think I’m joking?" Qin Sijue’s gaze shifted, his tone seemingly casual, but his eyes revealed seriousness.
Gu Qiangwei felt bewildered, unsure if he was being facetious or serious.
"Tang Yuyan is Madame Nangong."
This was a very real issue, if she was her missing mother it would be too unbelievable.
"How could she possibly be my mother? You know, ever since I can remember, I have never known about the existence of the Nangong Family. And they have never appeared in my mother’s and my life."
If she truly was from the Nangong Family, even if Tang Yuyan had lost her memory back then and hence didn’t remember her, what about the people of the Nangong Family? Didn’t they know either?
As a child, she lived with her mother for eight or nine years. In her memory, her mother never had any contact with the Nangong Family, so the idea was completely unrealistic.
Qin Sijue stared at her, his deep eyes inscrutable, making it impossible to guess what he was really thinking.
Twelve years ago, Tang Xinruo disappeared, and Tang Yuyan too had a car accident that resulted in amnesia. Could all of this really just be a coincidence?
If that was a coincidence, then was the Demon’s Blood also a coincidence? And what about her resemblance to Nangong Xi?
The moment the green light came on, it pulled Qin Sijue back from his deep thoughts. He started the car and continued driving towards Jueyuan.
The conversation came to an abrupt end, and on the way, Gu Qiangwei didn’t speak, instead leaning on the passenger seat, lost in thought.
From the beginning, she was not Gu Zhendong’s child, but Chen Peifang had said that her mother was pregnant with her when she married him. That meant, from her birth, she had been in the Gu Family, so her mother and the Nangong Family should not have any connection, right?
Otherwise, how could those ten years out of thin air be explained?
Could it be that Madame Nangong had the ability to be in two places at once, being the lady of the Nangong Family while also living with her at the Gu Family for eight or nine years?
At this thought, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically at herself.
If others heard this, they would probably think she was eager to climb the social ladder and become the Nangong Family’s daughter, right?
In light of this, Gu Qiangwei herself couldn’t help but curl the corner of her lip.
She turned her head and saw that Qin Sijue hadn’t spoken the entire trip, his thin lips lightly pursed as though lost in thought.
By the time they arrived at Jueyuan, it was already past dinner time.
As soon as the two of them stepped in, they saw several figures seated on the couch.
At the sound, Zhuang Yanyan turned her head and on seeing Gu Qiangwei, she smiled beamingly, "Granddaughter-in-law, you’re back!"
Granddaughter-in-law?
How had the old lady changed her title for her again in just a few days?
Her gaze shifted and she saw Qin Feimo and Feng Jinglei seated on the couch as well.
Feng Jinglei, heavily pregnant, froze when she saw Gu Qiangwei.
The old lady looked from the older granddaughter-in-law to the younger one, "You two know each other?"
