Chapter 474: Burned in Fire



"Linlang, have you finished dealing with the matter over there?"

Tong Jiaojiao was still frightened when she thought of the fire in the courtyard.

Fortunately, Ye Guojin was lucky that day, otherwise, the blind Ye Guojin would have been burned to death.

Then her sister Linlang must be heartbroken, right?

"It's done." Ye Linlang didn't waste any time talking to Tong Jiaojiao. She got straight to the point and said, "Sister Jiaojiao, I'd like to trouble you to go back to Zijing City and do a DNA paternity test for me."

Tong Jiaojiao was always smart. When she heard Ye Linlang's words, she excitedly asked, "Did Auntie find her relatives?"

"I guess so." Ye Linlang leaned close to Tong Jiaojiao's ear and whispered, "Professor Qiao will be here soon. She's very likely your grandmother's niece. You should have a good chat with her."

Tong Jiaojiao rubbed her hands excitedly.

She had never expected that such a good thing would happen during her trip to the imperial capital.

"Okay, I'm fine."

When Qiao Ci pushed open the door of the cafe and walked in, he saw Ye Linlang's family at a glance.

"Linlang, is it her?"

When Qiao Ci walked towards Ye Linlang, Tong Jiaojiao was very excited.

Ye Linlang nodded slightly.

"Professor Qiao, here."

Qiao Ci sat down next to Ye Yin. She had an intellectual and elegant temperament, and her facial features exuded a deep scholarly air.

"Professor Qiao, this is Ms. Qiao Suqing's granddaughter, Tong Jiaojiao."

Tong Jiaojiao looked at Qiao Ci carefully, her heart full of doubts.

Not quite!

Qiao Ci doesn't even look like Ye Yin or Qiao Suqing.

Tong Jiaojiao took the initiative to extend her hand, shook hands with Qiao Ci and said, "Hello, Professor Qiao."

"Hello."

Qiao Ci took out a photo album from her bag. Inside the album were several black and white photos.

Qiao Ci flipped to one of the photos, pushed it in front of Tong Jiaojiao, and said softly, "Miss Tong, this is the photo taken when my aunt and uncle got married."

Strictly speaking, it is a wedding photo.

In the photo, Qiao Suqing is in her prime, wearing a white wedding dress and holding a bouquet of flowers.

Her husband, wearing a sophisticated suit, short hair, and round glasses, stood beside her.

When Tong Jiaojiao saw the photo, she was extremely surprised and said, "I've seen this photo before."

"Have you seen it?" Qiao Ci's voice was filled with disbelief and surprise.

Tong Jiaojiao nodded.

"In my grandparents' study, there's a photo like this, but it's bigger than this one, hanging on the wall."

Tong Jiaojiao looked at her grandparents carefully while they were getting along. When her grandparents were that age, they were really good-looking.

"Professor Qiao, what's your father's name?"

Qiao Ci said, "Qiao Yanqing."

The Qiao family has two brothers and sisters.

Son Qiao Yanqing.

Daughter Qiao Suqing.

In that era when couples had three wives and four concubines, Qiao Suqing's parents were rare monogamous couples.

"Wait for me."

Tong Jiaojiao couldn't wait to tell Qiao Suqing who was far away in Zijing City the good news.

She borrowed the phone in the cafe and made a long-distance call to Zijing City.

"Hello, grandma, I'm Jiaojiao."

"Jiaojiao, when will you come back?"

"Grandma, your brother's name is Qiao Yanqing, right?"

When Qiao Suqing from Zijing City heard Qiao Yanqing's name, she was so shocked that she dropped the microphone in her hand.

Seeing this, Mr. Tong hurried to his wife's side and asked in a low voice, "Qingqing, is there something wrong with Jiaojiao?"

Qiao Suqing shook her head and grabbed the microphone.

On the other end of the phone, Tong Jiaojiao called out over and over again: "Grandma, Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
