Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she could hardly believe what she was hearing.
Mr. Wen picked up his small teacup, took a small sip, and said, "It's normal for you to be shocked. Even your older brother and the others don't know about this. All they know is that they died in a car accident the day after you appeared at the Ye family."
The teacup in Ye Ling's hand shattered instantly. Suppressing her murderous intent, she asked, "Do you know who did this? Was Grandpa Ye's death a natural one?"
No wonder she never saw Mother Night and the others in her dreams; it turns out she was implicated by their family.
She closed her eyes, despairingly thinking, "How can I repay this debt? Two lives, their most important family members. I'm the one who made them lose their parents at such a young age, I..."
A tear slid down her cheek and landed on the stone table in front of her.
"Smack!"
The sound of the tears falling was very soft, yet it made the grass tremble slightly, and even a small daisy in the grass sway.
Suddenly a dark cloud appeared in the sky, and rain began to fall without warning, right above them.
However, the rain was blocked by the branches and leaves of the hibiscus tree, so it did not affect the two of them.
But this strange change alarmed the others, who all looked up at the sky.
Standing in the courtyard, Moody said to Wen Mengxia beside him, "The anomalies in the space are all related to Lingling. The sudden rain must mean something has made her sad."
Wen Mengxia looked distressed: "She's so pitiful. Everything she went through would have broken me if I were in her shoes. The fact that she can maintain such an optimistic attitude shows that she has a really strong mental fortitude."
Moody didn't say anything more, but the heartache in his eyes was so obvious.
Mr. Wen looked at his son and Ye Jingyan and the others not far away. Seeing their worried faces, he slowly shook his head at them, signaling them not to come closer.
He said to Ye Ling, "Your grandfather's death has nothing to do with them, so don't worry. There were four families that were the most ruthless towards your family back then: the Gu family in the capital, the Wei family, the Liu family in S city, and the Wang family."
The Qi family's assets, worth hundreds of billions, were divided among these four families. A total of 18 members of the Qi family, including your maternal grandmother's family, disappeared in that catastrophe. Only you survived from your family, while only your maternal grandfather's Jiang family, including your maternal uncle and aunt, fled abroad and lived in hiding.
Twenty years have passed; whether they are still alive, none of us know.
"Boom!"
A loud bang echoed in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a flash of lightning. Only then did they realize that there had been thunder in the space!
Ye Ling gasped for breath, her hands clenched tightly: "Where are these four families now? What are my uncle's and aunt's names?"
Mr. Wen put down his teacup and looked at her: "I don't know their real name, and I don't know if they changed their name. After all, if I try to find out about them, I'll definitely be watched by others."
However, I heard from your mother that your aunt and uncle both look very much like your mother, and your appearance combines the best features of both your parents, resembling them by about 50%. Perhaps that's why those people didn't notice you.
If they were still alive, you might recognize them if you saw them. However, that hope is slim, since they dare not return home, and now that we've entered a global apocalypse, it's unlikely you'll meet.
Ye Ling lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly, remaining silent.
She dared not presume to say that her aunt and uncle were definitely alive, because she was not so lucky and would not pass on her good fortune to them.
It's more likely that the person who secretly plotted against her has already made a move against her aunt and the others.
