207 Meeting
In just five short days, not only did Zhao Zhan’s face become haggard and thin, but Yue Jiaojiao also rapidly lost weight. Her originally small chin was obviously sharp.
“Zhao Zhan, if you’ve found out something, just say it. We’ve been struggling for so long because of this matter, it’s time to come to a conclusion.”
“I heard that your parents were well-known kind-hearted wealthy merchants in Yang City. Their family’s business involved many people, but the family members were complicated. Your father was the head of the Yue family and was in charge of the Shang Seal. Three years ago, your parents encountered mountain bandits on their way to the capital to patrol the shops, and both of them passed away.
“After they passed away, the Yue family’s seal was handed over to the second branch. As for why you went North to look for your relatives, the people in the city said that your parents had died and you were grieving. In order to ease your heart, the family sent you to your uncle’s house in Bei City. Apparently, you lived in your uncle’s house for three years when you were young.”
As Zhao Zhan spoke, he sized up Yue Jiaojiao’s expression. Seeing that her expression was calm and unchanged, he deliberated for a moment before continuing.
“But now, the Yue family has announced to the public that you met with an accident on your way to find your relative and have lost your life.
“The two people I followed have also left Yang City to report to the family after hearing this news.”
No matter how much Yue Jiaojiao thought about it, she would never have predicted that her background would be like this.
Perhaps it was because she had just been frightened by the horse that had crashed into her on the street, Yue Jiaojiao’s head was throbbing with pain. It was as if someone was going to hit her with a plane, and she wanted to scream.
