"The one next to my father?" Zhuang Keer immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Yes."
"How could it be..."
Having said that, the two of them sat down naturally and started talking.
Ning Xueluo looked at the photo, sighed and said, "My mother's name is Zhuang Lingyu."
Hearing Ning Xueluo say that her mother's surname was "Zhuang", Zhuang Ke'er immediately realized something, "Also surname Zhuang... Could it be?"
"Yes, my mother is the youngest daughter of the Zhuang family." Ning Xueluo said.
"Why have I never heard of it?" Zhuang Keer frowned.
Grandpa has a third daughter? She has never heard anyone in the family mention it!
Ning Xueluo considered her words for a moment, then spoke, "Actually, I didn't know about it at first, and I only found out about it when I grew up. Of course, I don't know the details, I just heard that my mother and my father were in love, but because they were not a good match, my grandfather would never agree. In order to be with my father, my mother and grandfather quarreled many times, and the misunderstandings and conflicts became deeper and deeper. In the end, they severed their father-daughter relationship, and we haven't had any contact for more than 20 years... So, now almost no one knows about what happened back then!"
At this point, Ning Xueluo's face was filled with sadness. "In fact, I know that mother has always regretted hurting grandpa's heart, and she misses her family very much. It's just that mother is too stubborn and has always refused to give in..."
Ning Xueluo said this, looking at Zhuang Keer with a bitter expression, "I really felt sorry for my mother, so I tried to resolve the misunderstanding between my mother and grandpa... But it was too difficult for me to contact and see grandpa... So, I tried to contact you, Miss Zhuang, during that time... It's a pity... I didn't expect that because of some small misunderstandings, I missed the opportunity to talk to you..."
Ning Xueluo's words were undoubtedly a reference to the incident in Histor's store where Zhuang Ke'er stood up for Ning Xi, and even implied that Ning Xi was trying to stop it from the beginning.
Zhuang Ke'er glanced at Ning Xueluo again and asked suspiciously, "Why do you carry this photo with you?"
"I found the original photo at the head of my mother's bed. Probably because of long-term handling, it was badly worn out, so I secretly took it to a store to have it repaired, and I just picked it up today. In fact, I came to the beauty salon today with the mentality of trying my luck, wondering if I could meet you, my cousin. Unexpectedly, God finally helped me..." Ning Xueluo did not deny it at all, and directly admitted her purpose and intention, and even pretended to unconsciously change the way she addressed Zhuang Keer to "cousin".
Sure enough, after hearing what Ning Xueluo said, Zhuang Keer's expression relaxed a lot, and she believed Ning Xueluo's words to a certain extent.
After all, there was no need for Ning Xueluo to lie to her, because for things like this, she would know the truth once she went back and asked.
Unexpectedly, she actually has three aunts, one of whom ran away from home and cut off ties with the family for many years...
Thinking back to the sad look on Grandpa’s face, she thought it was just because he missed Grandma. Was it also because of his little daughter who had been away from home for many years
"As the younger generation, it is not appropriate for us to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation, but I really can't bear to see mother looking so haggard every day, so I took the liberty to tell you so much..." Ning Xueluo said apologetically.
