The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t figure it out. She turned her head towards Gu Junzhu and gently called out to him, “Didn’t you say that you found some clues? What have you found? Can you tell me?”

Gu Junzhu also turned his head towards her, his interest piqued, and with a half-smile he said, “If you give me a kiss, I’ll tell you!”

Ye Xingbei asked in all seriousness, “Lord Gu, how old are you this year?”

He was behaving like a child at play — ‘kiss me and I’ll tell you.’

Why did he have to act so childish!?

Taking into account that he had already teased her to the point of irritation several times tonight, Gu Junzhu decided to let her off the hook that night. He would throw her a sweet tidbit first, luring her deeper into the conversation.

He stopped keeping her in suspense, “Do you know how your biological father died?”

“I know,” Ye Xingbei said, “When I was at the Jiang Family, I heard that my biological parents died in a car accident.”

When she first heard this news at the Jiang Family, Ye Xingbei had only felt regret.

But today, as she verbalised it, she felt heart-wrenching sorrow, her eyes turning red.

They were her biological parents!

Even that annoying Gu Junzhu had said that her biological parents were very good people.

If they were still alive, they would definitely treat her very well.

She would be a child beloved and protected by her parents, not left to roam for over a decade, having faced all sorts of hardships.

Gu Junzhu comforted her by patting her gently, then asked, “Do you know about your second uncle?”

The old patriarch of the Jiang Family had three sons in total.

The eldest, Jiang Zhengwei, was the biological father of Xie Yinlin, Xie Jinfei, and Ye Xingbei.

The second, Jiang Zhengzhi, was Ye Xingbei’s second uncle.

The youngest, Jiang Zhengxing, had four children—Jiang Siyou, Jiang Lingyu, Jiang Congyuan, and Jiang Conglin.

Ye Xingbei nodded, “I heard that my second uncle went looking for his fiancee —who he had broken off an engagement with—and then disappeared. No one saw him alive, and his body was never found. He never returned after he left.” “Right,” nodded Gu Junzhu, “Your second uncle disappeared after he went looking for my second sister — his former fiancee.”

Ye Xingbei:”… How did your second sister die?”

Gu Junzhu was silent for a moment before he sighed, “She was stabbed to death.”

Ye Xingbei widened her eyes, agape, “Your second sister was… she was murdered?”

Gu Junzhu nodded, “Yes.”

“Why?” Ye Xingbei asked, “Who killed your second sister?”

What kind of deep-seated hatred could have lead to such a gruesome end?

Gu Junzhu was silent again for a while before he said, “My second sister fell in love with a married man. That man also fell in love with my second sister and wanted to divorce his wife. His wife ended up stabbing both my second sister and the man to death before she committed suicide.”

Ye Xingbei:”… That… I might be wrong, but I feel that if all women were as fierce as that wife, the number of mistresses in this world would definitely decrease!”

After musing for a second, she said again: “No, what I just said was wrong! Women can live without men. Just get a divorce! After divorce, live a prosperous life on your own or find a better man to live a glamorous life with. Why should anyone die for a man who betrays his marriage? It’s not worth it!” Gu Junzhu chuckled, but didn’t respond to her remarks.

He had never gotten along well with his second sister. The cause of her death was her own doing. Even though he was also heartbroken, she had been dead for so long that he didn’t want to comment on it anymore. The past was like the wind.

He continued the conversation, “Your second uncle went looking for my second sister and never returned. Your father loved this brother very much. He became almost frantic and had people search for him everywhere. They searched for many years, but he never gave up..”
