Feng Yu looked at the person in the photo carefully again, then returned the photo to the girl and said slowly in a deep voice: "I have never seen this person. But I have heard a little about her, which can be regarded as gossip..."
Qiao Nian made an expression as if he was listening attentively.
Feng Yu took a deep breath and continued, "It is said that she had a boyfriend who she dated for a long time. They had a deep relationship, but then, for some reason, she married your grandfather and gave birth to your mother. During this process, the man seemed to have disappeared, and no news about him was heard again... There are rumors that the man was very sad when he heard that she was getting married, so he left and never came back."
"He's dead." Qiao Nian suddenly said softly.
Feng Yu was still lost in his memories. When he heard the girl's calm words, he was immediately shocked and looked at her in surprise: "You said..."
"That person is dead." Qiao Nian was calm and looked him in the eye. "And it looks like he's been dead for a long time."
"This!" Feng Yu couldn't describe the shock that surged in his heart, and he had no idea what expression to make: "There really is such a person?! I thought it was just gossip, after all, no one has ever seen her so-called boyfriend..."
Nie Qingru really had a boyfriend whom she loved but he died early. What secrets are hidden in this
Qiao Nian noticed his expression changing and looked at him seriously: "Do you know the name of that person?"
Feng Yu was called back to his senses by her, and recalled seriously: "I only heard gossip about it once, and I don't remember the details... I seem to have heard that the person's surname was... Zhai. What was his specific name... I really don't remember."
He was able to remember this surname because he asked out of curiosity how to write this character and was deeply impressed by the character with "羽" on top and "住" on the bottom.
After he answered the girl's question, he seemed to remember something and looked at Qiao Nian with a worried look on his face: "Is there any connection between this photo you mentioned and the SEVEN you asked me about?"
He thought of a possibility, but then immediately felt it was ridiculous.
"You said this person died a long time ago, why are you still asking about him..."
"Nothing. I recently met someone who might have some connection with him." Qiao Nian put away the photo, hid the dark light in his eyes and returned to his usual casual attitude: "I wanted to ask other people, but not many people in the Independent Continent know about her past. I don't trust other people either, so I came to your office to wait for you to come back."
Feng Yu nodded, indicating that he understood. After thinking for a while, he said to her, "In fact, you can ask Emperor Ji, he may know some inside information."
To put it bluntly, these are Ji family affairs and involve family secrets.
Even if he was of the same generation as Nie Qingru, he was still just an outsider.
In addition, when Nie Qingru was at the peak of his powers, he was just a nobody in the Independent Continent and knew very little.
Although Ji Lingfeng is a generation younger than them, he has been in control of the Ji family for so many years, so he must know something about the past, perhaps more than he knows.
Qiao Nian asked him what she wanted to ask, picked up her bag, and turned back to say, "He's still in the intensive care unit, let's talk later."
Ji Lingfeng had just cleared the remaining poison not long ago, and he still had to be monitored in the intensive care unit for a period of time before he could be transferred to the general ward.
Even if she wanted to find Ji Lingfeng to ask about the person in this old photo, she had to wait until Ji Lingfeng's body recovered a little.
Qiao Nian didn't plan to stay here any longer, so he waved to Feng Yu and said, "Dean, I'm going back first."
