Qi Anran's eyes shrank suddenly, even though he had already had a guess in his heart, but when the guess was confirmed, he couldn't help but feel a little unacceptable.
"In other words, my mother's death back then was not an accident, but man-made. What happened? Who killed my mother?"
Qi Dinghang listened to Qi Anran's inquiry, and was silent for a while before sighing: "I told you about the matter with your mother once before, but in fact I also made some concealment."
"Hidden? What to hide?"
"I pursued your mother when I was in college. At that time, your mother really had no feelings for me and rejected me many times. But I always feel that as long as I persist, one day your mother will be moved by me and be willing to accept me. At that time, I was young and energetic. I never thought that this matter would attract the attention of my family, and I never thought that as a child of the Qi family, I could not even call the shots of my own marriage."
Qi Anran heard the slight movement of his brows, and he had a faint guess in his heart: "What do you mean..."
"In the eyes of my parents, including my relatives and elders, the love affair in college is just for the future. Even if we are really together, we still have to divide it when we graduate. Let alone be like me and your mother. She never promised unrequited love with me from beginning to end."
"Because they all thought I was jokes, they didn't take this matter to heart at all at first, until I was close to graduation, they started dating for me, and wanted to use my marriage for the benefit of the family. Only when I realized that I was not willing to cooperate at all, I realized the seriousness of the matter and started to face my feelings for your mother squarely."
Qi Anran didn't have much doubt about Qi Dinghang's statement, and he didn't feel strange.
The marriage of a big family like them is just like the ancient princess marrying away. In many cases, they can't make the decision by themselves. Everything is based on family interests.
It's just that if Qi Dinghang couldn't get along at the time, and the Qi family couldn't take this son to operate, it would definitely go to her mother's troubles. It's hard to achieve it because of this...
Qi Anran first rejected this idea as soon as it came out. Qi Jiaruo really wanted to kill her mother at that time, and the time was not right at all, and she probably didn't have the chance to come into this world.
"What happened then?"
"Later, they threatened me that if I didn't marry Yongjia's mother, they would find your mother's trouble and hurt your mother."
"So, you compromised?"
"Yes." When Qi Dinghang thought of his powerlessness and indignation when he accepted this arrangement, he felt that an evil fire was burning in his heart, and he wished that the fire would burn the current Qi family clean.
"Although your mother had already made her mark in school at the time, in the eyes of many people in the Qi family, she was a Cinderella from a small family. Even if I marry her, it will not do any good to the family's business. They simply cannot Let this happen. I don't want her to be hurt, nor do I want her to hate me for it, so I compromised."
When Qi Dinghang said that it seemed to have thought of something, he sneered: "What is ridiculous is that after a few years, Yaoqin became the upstart of the entire imperial capital circle by virtue of his own strength, and became the youngest and most powerful newcomer in the Academy. Those who have ever been. I tried my best to make me give up on her, and forced me to marry a woman I don’t love as my wife. Those people regretted one by one, and began to persuade me to pursue your mother again."
