She had long seen through the so-called family affection.
Family love is precious, but it depends on the person.
Some people regard you as a treasure, and even if you haven't seen each other for more than ten years, it cannot change the bond of blood relationship.
Some people treat family affection as a bargaining chip and put it in front of you to make a deal.
So kinship and 'kinship' are different things.
She had learned to distinguish this two years ago. Nie Qingru's explanation of "blood relationship" was no longer useful.
She wanted to know the hidden secret now.
"What happened thirty years ago?"
"Hehe, you are indeed Ji Wushun's offspring, the blood in your bones is the same!" Nie Qingru mocked in a strange voice.
Qiao Nian didn't take it to heart, and only reminded her in a calm voice: "Nie Qixing is still in my hands. I can send a dead person back to you at any time."
"you dare!"
Nie Qingru suppressed her rage and understood that Qiao Nian certainly dared to do so.
She said in a deep voice: "Thirty years ago, the Ji family rose from the independent continent to become one of the new noble forces."
"This generation of Ji Wushuan is ambitious and eccentric. Soon, under his leadership, the Ji family became a force that could compete with the Hidden World Family. He was very smart. After a few minor conflicts with the Hidden World Family, he proposed a marriage alliance to the family at that time... The Hidden World Family also realized that his strength should not be underestimated, so they agreed reluctantly and promised that he could choose the right person at will..."
As if recalling a nightmare, Nie Qingru said in an extremely painful and distorted voice: "I didn't take it seriously at the time. Who would have thought that he would choose me."
Ji Wushuan was just like Qiao Nian now, a monster that suddenly appeared out of nowhere at that time.
His talent and strength made countless forces lie dormant, and even the prosperous hidden family had to be wary of him.
"During the days since I married him, I was not happy for a single day until I was about to have a mental breakdown... The Nie family used medical means to give birth to a younger brother for me, and brought him to the Ji family for me to raise..."
"I raised my children to get through the darkest time, and later gave birth to my first child, your mother."
When Nie Qingru mentioned Ji Qing, her voice was calm and expressionless, without any emotion or guilt.
With a mother like this, one can imagine what kind of environment Ji Qing grew up in.
Qiao Nian's heart trembled as if he felt the same pain. Even his chest felt the pain.
She slowly clenched her fist: "And then?"
Nie Qingru paused for a second, then recalled, "Then it was what you know. Your grandfather died, and I successfully got rid of this marriage and returned to the hidden family. I relied on myself to get to where I am today..."
Of all her memories, Ji Qing didn't even deserve a light memory, only a sentence "I gave birth to this person".
"As for your mother's death, it's not as complicated as you think. It was just an accident." She spoke in such a nonchalant tone, as if since she gave birth to Ji Qing, she had the right to decide Ji Qing's life or death.
Ji Qing is dead.
In her words it was just an 'accident'!
Qiao Nian was suddenly provoked by her, and her dark eyes suddenly burned with fire, and in an instant, they were like a prairie fire: "According to what you said, Nie Qixing's death here today is also an 'accident'?"
Nie Qingruoran's attitude suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"
Without even giving Qiao Nian a chance to speak, he raised his voice and threatened coldly: "Qiao Nian, I have told you the secret from thirty years ago as you requested. You also know that he is your relative! If you dare to touch him, I will never let you go!"
