Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

“Then have you been to Jiameng Town in person?”

Ye Tianxin was puzzled. This was impossible. If he had been here, he would have seen her grandmother.

“Yes, I have been there,” Xie Xuning replied. “I have been to your house—a small courtyard, and there was a pear tree… I lived there for three days.”

Grandmother was quiet, listening. However, after Xie Xuning said that he lived in that small courtyard for three days, she couldn’t help but ask, “When did you live in that small courtyard for three days?”

“August of 1988, from the 8th to the 10th,” Xie Xuning specified.

Grandmother was startled, her eyes widened.

“In 1988, I went to the city. At that time, someone from the city office called and said that there was a dead woman who was likely Linlang. I was summoned to claim her, so I went to the city with Tianxin. At that time, I stayed for a week or so.”

Xie Xuning’s brows knitted when he heard Grandmother’s explanation.

In this world, there was no such thing as coincidence.

“Mom, what is your relationship with Zhu Dongmei and Ye Guoliang?” Xie Xuning asked.

Ye Guoliang?

Zhu Dongmei?

Weren’t they from the same family?

“They’re my uncle and aunt.” Ye Tianxin couldn’t help but interject.

She thought of that day. When she and her grandmother returned to Jiameng from the capital, they found a limousine with a license plate for Shenhai City on the highway approaching Jiameng Town. Not long afterwards, their small courtyard was burning. Was there a connection between the two?

“Then what did they say when you arrived?”

Xie Xuning covered his face with his hand, and he said in pain, “They said, your mother committed suicide, and my mother-in-law passed away because of grief. They took me to the old graveyard of the Ye family.”

“So you brought the ashes from the graveyard to the capital and thought my mother was dead? And Grandmother was dead? Didn’t you ask other people when you lived in our courtyard?”

“I did. I asked a lot of people. They all told me the same thing.”

Ye Tianxin’s face was blank. Only Li Qingcang, who was an outsider, had a clearer picture of what might have happened then.

“If it was really like what Uncle said, the fire wouldn’t be so simple. Someone deliberately wanted to conceal the existence of Grandmother and Tianxin. If at that time, Grandmother and Tianxin had been in Jiameng Town, Uncle would not have gone to Jiameng, and this secret wouldn’t have been known to anyone. However, Tianxin brought her grandmother to the capital. The person worried that Tianxin’s identity would be revealed sooner or later. That’s why they decided to kill her and her grandmother. This way, no one would find out.”

Li Qingcang’s words caught Xie Xuning’s attention.

He asked, “Xiao Cang, what do you mean by this?”

Li Qingcang sat beside Ye Tianxin, stretched out his hand, and place his hand on Ye Tianxin’s shoulder.

“When Tianxin and Grandmother went to the capital for the first time, after they returned to Jiameng Town to take the college entrance examinations, there was a fire in the courtyard you had visited. Fortunately, Tianxin was unharmed. Otherwise, you won’t be able to meet your daughter.”

Li Qingcang was overbearing at this time.

He knew very well that when Xie Xuning didn’t wasn’t aware yet that Ye Tianxin was his daughter, he was biased towards her.

At present, after learning that Ye Tianxin was his daughter, he might prevent them from being together.

“Actually, it’s not because of my luck. It was because Sister Chenxi rescued my grandmother and me.”
