When it comes to Ning Hao, Qiao Jie has a lot to say. He watched Ning Hao grow up. The boy was sensible and mature at a young age, and he was also very smart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to bring Jiang Qiao into their family and give him a wonderful granddaughter out of nowhere.
Wen Jingwan listened with tears streaming down her face. Ning Hao's explanation was too simplistic; she hadn't realized there was so much more to it than met the eye.
Especially the matter of Ning Hao's mother's family, why does it sound so strange to her? When did Ning Xiang have such a family? How come she didn't know?
However, she didn't ask in front of the old man. She probably had to ask Ning Hao about this, since the old man probably didn't know the situation either.
"Jingwan, since you and Haozi's mother are sisters, there's something I'd like to tell you. Haozi has already told me and your father-in-law about him, but we didn't express our opinions at the time. After all, the child is still young, and we don't know what will happen when he grows up."
Haozi has a crush on your Qiao'er, and Mr. and Mrs. Ning know that too. Anyway, we've already agreed that if Qiao'er grows up and really likes Ning Hao, we won't object.
However, if the children don't like it, no one can force them. You should observe Ning Hao again. But as Qiao'er said, everyone should do things appropriate for their age. As for their relationship, they are still good friends for now, nothing more.
However, it's good for us adults to pay more attention. Otherwise, given the girl's current pace, she might not even consider this when she grows up. I'm worried about Ning Hao, after all, he's six years older than her, and that kid can't afford to wait—"
Wen Jingwan gave a wry smile. "This child has quite the imagination. Our Qiao'er is so young, and this child has already taken notice of her."
Uncle, I won't lie to you. Back then, when I was joking with Haozi's mother, I even said that if we got married and had children of our own, we could consider becoming in-laws.
I never imagined that I would see her son again many years later. It's just a pity that my friend has already passed away.
However, regarding the child, I share the same thoughts as you. Qiao'er is different from other children, and we cannot treat her like other children.
"My daughter has always been very opinionated, and I respect her thoughts. Since Qiao'er said that, she must not have considered this matter yet. You know, even I don't know what my own child is thinking."
Qiao Jie felt more sympathy for Wen Jingwan. "It's alright. Our Qiao'er has her own ideas. We don't need to worry about her. We'll just save up for her dowry later."
Jiang Qiao was surprised that Ning Hao had actually brought her back. Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Jiang Qiao exclaimed repeatedly, "You're really something, you even managed to persuade my mom to come back."
Ning Hao said smugly as he rode his bike, "What do you mean by bluffing? We're being cautious. You're facing constant problems here, and now you're seeing threats everywhere. No matter what their purpose is, we have to be prepared."
Oh, by the way, I'm telling you, your mom and my mom know each other, and it seems like they're very close.
I never expected this trip to be so worthwhile; I even ran into an old friend of my mother's. Tell me, what a incredible coincidence that we have!
Jiang Qiao was also surprised. "What? My mom knows your mom? What did she say? Does my mom know who the murderer is?"
Ning Hao sighed, "Don't even mention it. It seems they don't know. We didn't talk for long, and we were in a hurry to get back. Let's talk about it tonight."
Gu Zhixuan went to pick up his younger brother after school. His aunt and brother arrived, and Jiang Qiao invited them over for lunch. As for the food prepared for lunch, they could save it for tomorrow morning, since the weather wasn't hot and it wouldn't spoil.
Ning Hao ate dinner at Jiang Qiao's house that evening. Wen Jingwan knew that Ning Hao was her good friend's child, so you can imagine why she let the child eat at home, especially since she had so much to talk to Ning Hao about.
After finishing a big meal, Jiang Qiao and Ning Hao saw Gu Zhixuan and his brother off. When they returned, Wen Jingwan started asking Ning Hao about his maternal grandmother's family.
This time, Ning Hao was puzzled. "Auntie, do you know where my maternal grandmother lives?"
Wen Jingwan gave a wry smile. "Your mother and I have known each other since we were little. Tell me, how could I not know what your maternal grandparents' family situation is like?"
What's going on with your maternal grandparents? I remember they left, and when I saw your mother later, I didn't hear about them coming back. What happened? Where did they come from?
In front of Wen Jingwan, Ning Hao bluntly stated that upon hearing Zhou Ningxiang's arrangements and reasons, Wen Jingwan couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Tell me, your mother is such a smart person. She knew how to find a way out for herself. Why couldn't she think clearly and marry your father? Since she saw through him, why couldn't she leave sooner? Otherwise, she wouldn't have had anything to do with this."
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Mom, it's too late for you to say that. The person is already gone. It's too late to regret it."
Ning Hao wanted to know what was going on at his maternal grandfather's house. All he knew was that his maternal grandmother had left her husband's family with his mother, not because she wanted to, but because she had been divorced. He also had a maternal uncle, whom his maternal grandmother hadn't been able to bring with her back then, and he wanted to know where his maternal uncle was.
Faced with Ning Hao's question, Wen Jingwan sighed and said, "This is a long story. After your grandmother brought your mother out, my father cut off ties with your grandfather. The two families still had business dealings, but because of this incident, my father saw through your grandfather's character, especially that woman, who often interfered in the business between the two families. So my father was unwilling to do business with such a person."
Later, your maternal grandfather took his family and left the area. As for their whereabouts, I don't know much. However, I did hear my father mention that after your maternal grandfather and his family moved away, their business did not go well. Then the war broke out, and your maternal grandfather and his family moved again. I lost all contact with them.
Your mother didn't want to talk about your maternal grandmother back then, so I didn't ask much. Did your mother leave any such information?
Ning Hao shook his head. "No, after my maternal grandmother took my mother away, they moved around to many places before finally finding a suitable place to settle down. However, my maternal grandmother didn't last many years; she passed away a long time ago due to excessive grief."
Later, she felt that her identity wasn't good enough, so she found a family with a clean family background, which would make things easier for her in all aspects.
Just like you said, my mom is actually quite smart, but unfortunately, she couldn't escape the power of love. To be honest, it's just that God was blind to bring the two of them together.
Auntie, may I ask you a question? Why don't my maternal grandparents' family stand up for her in this situation?
