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

264 The Past

“Of course. The Qiao family has already announced it to the public. Besides, your nephew, Oswald, also met my fifth brother at Harvey’s anniversary. You are probably aware of my brother’s true gender.” Qiao Jing said.

Was Oswald the one who discovered Qiao Yue’s true gender?

“I see.” Andy took a sip of his champagne elegantly. “Is there another possibility? That Mr. Qiao Jing doesn’t know his sister well enough?”

Andy spoke with confidence and did not seem to be lying. Qiao Jing frowned.

“This is also my family matter. Perhaps Mr. Andy should stop intervening.” Qiao Jing’s voice was cold. He didn’t want to talk about Qiao Yue anymore.

“It looks like Mr. Qiao Jing needs to pay more attention to his brothers and sisters.”

Andy sensed Qiao Jing’s disinterest and politely clinked his glass to Qiao Jing’s before he walked towards Oswald and Minnie.

Qiao Jing put down his glass, looked around, and left the banquet hall.

“Uncle, why didn’t you talk more with Qiao Jing?” Oswald was curious.

Recently, his family had been pursuing the Qiao family as a business partner. It was strange for Andy to let his partner leave just like that. It was not his style.

“He’ll come back and find me.” Andy tapped his fingers against his glass, like he was playing a piece of music.

When Qiao Jing returned to the Qiao residence, it was already past dinner time.

The living room and dining room of the old mansion were quiet, with only a few servants cleaning.

“Butler, where’s the fifth young master?” Qiao Jing asked as he handed his bag to the butler.

“The fifth young master is resting upstairs. The old master woke up today. The fifth young master kept him company for a while before he went back to his room.”

“Alright.”

Qiao Jing walked upstairs to Old Master Qiao’s room.

Lu Ying had just completed an acupuncture treatment on Old Master Qiao.

The old master looked a little weak, but much better than when he was unconscious. His face was ruddier.

“Qiao Jing, you’re here.”

Qiao Jing sat beside Old Master Qiao and motioned for Lu Ying to leave.

Lu Ying took his medical kit and left.

“Grandpa, I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?”

Other than Qiao Yue, Old Master Qiao doted on Qiao Jing the most.

Qiao Jing was his quiet grandson. Although he was very filial, he rarely took the initiative to sit down and chat with his grandfather.

“Does aunt have any old friends?”

Old Master Qiao couldn’t help but sigh at the mention of Qiao Qing.

Among his children, he liked Qiao Qing the most. Although she was not his biological daughter, her character was the most similar to his.

And among his grandchildren, only Qiao Jing and Qiao Yue were most like him. The rest of his descendants were different kinds of good-for-nothings.

“Xiao Qing had a lot of friends. She was a warm person. Everyone who met her wanted to be her friend.”

Old Master Qiao sighed as he spoke.

Qiao Qing had always been surrounded by people. From her school days to work, she never lacked friends.

It wasn’t until that man appeared in her life and turned everything upside down.

“I wanted to ask if she had any old friends from abroad? Such as from D-Country? Not the friends she usually hung out with.”

Old Master Qiao frowned at the mention of D-Country.

D-Country smelled of freedom.

The man who came into Qiao Qing’s life had once gone on a mission there. It was after that that Qiao Qing completely lost contact with her family.

Because of some special circumstances, Old Master Qiao could only lie and say that Qiao Qing had eloped with a man.

However, in the few years when Qiao Qing was abroad, she had been secretly keeping in touch with the old master.

Until that incident happened, after which they lost all contact.

Old Master Qiao had searched for more than a decade. It was only this year when he finally found something and brought Qiao Yue back to the family.

“There should be an old friend, but that person is probably dead. If there was any old friend from abroad, it’s probably an exchange student from St. Faustina’s Institution.”

There was already a student exchange program between St. Faustina’s and Harvey decades ago?

Qiao Jing frowned. “St. Faustina’s Institution had always been closely linked to D-Country. Many rich kids from D-Country were sent to St. Faustina’s for tertiary education. Perhaps it’s a friend that aunt made there?”
