Chapter 279 A Family Uncovers the Truth of Their Past Life

Li Wenyan wasn't a clueless straight man like Qiao Changqing; she sensed the strange atmosphere as soon as she entered.

She pulled Fang Zhengnan to a corner and whispered, "Does Grandma Guaiguai not have a good relationship with this old chief?"

Fang Zhengnan lowered his voice and briefly described the situation of the Shen family.

Li Wenyan's brows furrowed tightly and never relaxed.

They clearly didn't quite understand what Old Master Shen was doing.

Shen Qingrong is just a cousin, not even a biological nephew. There are two generations between them. How could someone be so unable to distinguish between close and distant relatives?

When it was almost time to eat, Li Wenyan called Qiao Changqing away under the pretext that she couldn't find the good wine she had brought back for her family to try.

Old Master Shen was left all alone, ignored by everyone.

This time, he watched the little girl squatting at the entrance of the main room, her little bottom sticking out, following her four older brothers, competing with the wind-up toy cars that Li Wenyan had brought back from Kyoto, to see whose car went the furthest.

The wheelchair's tires spun, and it rolled over.

Qiao Qiao and the four Qiao boys sensed the movement beside them and turned around to see Old Master Shen giving them a slight smile.

How should I put it?

Old Master Shen was a very serious man, and he was particularly dignified when he wasn't speaking. Whenever the Qiao family's sons saw Old Master Shen guarding the gate of the Qiao family's courtyard, they didn't like to go out to play much anymore, even the eldest Qiao Jing was like that.

After Old Master Shen entered the Qiao family's courtyard, the Qiao family's sons would choose to play on the diagonal corner furthest from Old Master Shen.

Mr. Shen, in fact, is not suited to laughing.

In particular, this kind of effort to appear kind, when it's actually a distorted smile, is downright disastrous.

All the Qiao family children, including Fu Yu who was sitting on a chair to the side due to mobility issues, were jolted awake by what they saw.

"!!!" Qiao siblings plus Fu Yu.

Terrifying, terrifying!

Qiao Hai was so startled that he immediately hugged his sister's chubby waist and pulled her into his clothes.

Then he raised his neck and howled, "Grandma, Grandma, Grandma Yan, Grandma Yan, come quick! This bad grandpa is going to kidnap my little sister!"

"..." Old Master Shen.

Old Master Shen's already stiff smile became even stiffer.

During this period, Yan Liti did an excellent job of persuading the Qiao family's sons.

The Qiao family's sons had long been wary of Old Master Shen, treating him like a thief.

The boys didn't want to go out and play when Old Master Shen came to their courtyard gate, partly because they were afraid of him, and partly to keep an eye on him.

They were afraid that if they weren't careful, this wicked grandpa would sneak in and either abduct or kidnap their precious little sister.

That's why Qiao Hai reacted so strongly when he saw Old Master Shen's strange smile.

His shout instantly brought out everyone in the Qiao family, young and old, men and women.

Qiao Changdong took a big step and pulled Qiao Qiao, who was wrapped in Qiao Hai's clothes, into his arms, while looking at Old Master Shen warily.

"What are you doing, you old geezer!" Yan Liti, who was learning cooking from Grandma Qiao and thinking about how she could cook delicious food for her granddaughter in the future, grabbed a broom with chicken droppings still stuck to its end from the kitchen doorway and rushed over.

Holding his finger in front of Old Master Shen's nose, he warned fiercely, "You old fool, don't you dare do anything reckless! Or I'll break your hand too!"

"If your legs and arms are broken, you'll be stuck writhing on the ground from now on! Think it over!"

"..." Old Master Shen.

Old Master Shen's serious face changed color from red to white, then white to green, then green to purple, truly as fascinating as a color palette.

Seeing the tense and fearful expressions on the faces of everyone in the Qiao family, he closed his eyes tightly.

After taking another deep breath, she explained, "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say a few words to the child."

"What could she possibly have to say to you!" Yan Liti retorted irritably. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Don't involve the child in our affairs!"

"Also, let me remind you one more time: your son has severed ties with you. When we return to Kyoto, I will transfer his household registration out of the Shen family. At that time, his name will be Yan Qingyan, not Shen Qingyan! So the child has absolutely nothing to do with you, and you are not allowed to get close to him!"

At this point, Yan Liti muttered with particular disdain, "Is 'Qing' your Shen family's generation name? It's the same word as that scum, how unlucky! Looks like we should change it too."

"You...you..." This time, not only was Old Master Shen's face ugly, but his voice also trembled, clearly indicating that he was very angry.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Get out of here and never set foot in the Qiao family again! I can't control my temper when I see you."

"This is unbelievable! Shen Tuo, I'm warning you, tomorrow is the Little New Year, you're not allowed to show your face in front of me. If you ruin my New Year's mood, I'll grab this broom, see? Just this one broom, and I'll pounce on you to death!"

at last.

Grandpa Shen ultimately didn't get to have lunch at the Qiao family's house.

He was so humiliated by Yan Liti's attack that he slunk away from the Qiao family.

At this point, Qiao Changqing had also learned the general story from Li Wenyan. He simply shook his head and said nothing.

Without Grandpa Shen, an outsider, the family enjoyed a peaceful and harmonious lunch.

On the day before the Lunar New Year, whether it was Yan Liti's words or not, Old Master Shen really did not appear in front of the Qiao family.

Besides Qiao Xiaoyun taking Meng Zihuan and following Meng Zhengcheng back to her husband's family home, Qiao Changcai and Mo Wenpei also took their two sons back to Qiao Family Village to celebrate the Lunar New Year together.

The day after the Lunar New Year.

After lunch, Yan Liti, following Qiao Qiao's instructions, delivered to her the information about the group of petty thieves that she had paid someone to investigate.

The investigation data on Yin Zhewei shows that Yin Zhegang and Yin Zhewei are brothers, and even blood brothers!

Qiao Changdong took the document and called his whole family together, and they all sat around the fire to discuss it.

The little bubbles on Qiao Qiao's head were also very busy.

He then reenacted everything that happened before Qiao Changdong died in his previous life.

After reading it, everyone was pondering and trying to figure out the possible logical relationships between the events.

Meng Zhengcheng is a police officer after all, so his way of thinking is better than others.

They quickly pieced together the cause and effect of this whole affair.

"So in the previous life, it was very likely that Dongzi received Guai Guai's call and rushed to Kyoto, and then Chen Yulian called Shen Qingrong to tell him."
