Qiao Nian put one hand in his pocket, turned his head to look at him, was silent for half a second, and said "hmm" in a low voice.
Jiang Zongjin exhaled a breath of turbid air, as if he didn't know how to start talking to her: "Your mother has always been like a mystery. I wanted to talk to you about her a long time ago, but I didn't know how to talk to you about this topic. I didn't expect you to have been investigating this matter."
After Ji Qing passed away, he was depressed for a long time and almost died with her.
If his wife had not left him a daughter, Jiang Zongjim might not have been able to hold on until now.
Jiang Zongjin reached out to help the girl adjust her cap, with undisguised pity in his eyes. He took his hand back and said to the girl gently, "Your mother is a legend."
"She... I don't know a lot of things, but I have saved some of her photos and letters. If you want to see them, I'll give them to you when I get back."
Qiao Nian half-closed his eyes and looked at him, and did not respond for a moment.
What kind of era was this? They were still writing letters when they were in love? How innocent... It's a bit like two elementary school students in love.
She looked at the man again. Even at his age, he still had the gaunt appearance of his youth. He looked like the campus hunk in a TV series. She pursed her lips and said, "Hmm."
Jiang Zongjin didn't know what Qiao Nian was thinking, but when he saw her nod, his brows relaxed immediately, and he trotted to keep up with her pace...

Ji family.
After the banquet, all the guests dispersed, and Ji Lingfeng, Xie Yun and others also went back.
Ji Ziyan stayed last.
Also with her were some members of the Ji family, a small force that had usually placed their bets on her.
Soon, a spy from the Ji family came back.
Ji Ziyin adjusted the hem of her yellow skirt, her eyes sparkling, her eyelashes slightly drawn, her every move revealing her good upbringing: "How is it? Did you find out?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the small group of people in the Ji family who placed their hopes on her all looked at the spy who had returned.
The spy was a man who looked extremely ordinary, and no one would even want to take a second look at him if he were to appear in a crowd.
This kind of person is most suitable for gathering intelligence.
The man was obviously very respectful to Ji Ziyin. He immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Miss, I checked the background of the group from Country Z again. There is nothing special about Qiao Nian. He is just an ordinary student from Tsinghua University."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ziyin smiled, her almond-shaped eyes staring at his face anxiously: "An ordinary student from Tsinghua University solved the equation for black powder? When did Tsinghua University become so awesome?"
Since she was selected by the Ji family, she has been concentrating on studying this knowledge for the past 20 years, and everyone praises her amazing talent.
But she was slapped loudly in the face at the banquet today.
Until now, Ji Zinyin still can't accept the fact that she lost.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said with great confidence, "That Qiao Nian is definitely not as simple as she appears to be! The more clean she is, the more I think she is not simple."
Isn't it a disguised proof of how capable this person is that they couldn't even find him in the Independent Continent
Seeing how serious Ji Ziyin was, Ji Xiao, one of the Ji family's side branches, interrupted with a disapproving tone, "Ziyin, aren't you thinking too much? She's just a girl from Country Z, and she just managed to solve a problem by luck. I don't think we need to pay too much attention to her."
