"Tao Tao, go see what delicious food Aunt Wang made today. Grandpa still has some things to take care of!"
Tao Tao nodded obediently, "Yeah!"
But watching her throw it into the kitchen lightly, she poked her head out from the kitchen in just a moment. Her watery eyes were full of hostility, and she was staring at the girl of about fifteen years old who was following behind Leng Xue Han.
He clenched the door tightly, "Is this woman the one that Brother Wen has been guarding for several nights? It seems that she must have a close relationship with Bai Ling. This matter must be told to Sister Wen Qing'er."
Unlike the brightness on the first floor, the study on the second floor seemed much darker. Leng Xuehan stood on one side, and Bai Ling stood in the middle, facing the old man sitting at the desk. At this time, the whole room was unusually quiet, and the atmosphere was very tense.
No one spoke.
About three minutes later, Old Man Wen, who was leaning on his cane and looking sharply at the beautiful fifteen-year-old girl, finally spoke, "Han'er, I have something I want to talk to this little girl alone!"
Leng Xuehan nodded after hearing this and turned to go outside.
Since the old man had clearly told him to leave, it was impossible for him to hide at the door and eavesdrop.
Then Bai Ling and the old man were the only ones left in the room!
"I heard your name is Li Siqi?"
Bai Ling pursed her lips.
"More than ten years ago, there was a girl working in our Wen family. She was smart and beautiful. She was a member of the Heavenly Sword research team. Her name was Li Siqi." The old man's voice was cold, but he suddenly smiled. "Yu'er's father liked her very much at the time. He even gave her our heirloom red scallop ring as a proposal gift." After saying this, Mr. Wen thought for a moment and whispered, "That ring looks exactly like the one on Han'er's hand!"
Bai Ling's eyes narrowed immediately. She had seen the ring in Leng Xue Han's hand before, and it looked a little sarcastic at that time.
At this moment, her heart skipped a beat. This ring... was exactly the same as the one she had worn before, except for the color in the middle.
She remembered what her grandmother had said: her mother was a graduate student doing research in a big city, but later came back for some reason.
And her mother's name is Li Siqi, and she has such a ring?
But Bai Ling's face had no expression. She stared calmly and indifferently at the shrewd old man who was staring at her with unclear meaning in his eyes.
"I acquiesced to this matter back then. Do you know why?" Old Master Wen's lips curled up slightly. "Because, research has shown that the combination of Yu'er's father's blood and Li Siqi's blood has some effect on the Heavenly Sword. I'm wondering, if Yu'er's father and Li Siqi could have a child, would that child be able to activate the Heavenly Sword?"
Bang, bang, bang, Bai Ling's heart was beating uncontrollably fast.
How could this be? Wen Ruyu is 29 years old now. If she looked the same as before, she would be 25 years old, which means Wen Ruyu is four years older than her. Based on her mother's age, she definitely cannot be Wen Ruyu's mother.
So why was her mother with Wen Ruyu's father? And why did her father propose with a red crocodile ring? Wouldn't Wen Ruyu's mother object?
And even among the five major families, that was before the end of the world, so it was impossible for them to marry two wives.
Wen Ruyu's father used such a precious thing as a proposal gift, which clearly showed that he valued Li Siqi very much and definitely did not have a wife at that time.
