She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Old Qiao glanced at the young man and said, "Xiaolong, you can sit down too."

Xiaolong was stunned: "Grandpa, I'll just stand."

Xiaolong felt a little uncomfortable because there were guests here.

The main reason was that the girl was quite pretty and he didn’t dare to look at her for too long.

"What are you standing for? Sit down. Come to think of it, this matter has something to do with you as well."

what?

Xiaolong was stunned: "What does it have to do with me?"

He had heard from the old man before that the little girl and her grandfather were here to look for their relatives.

Wait, looking for relatives.

Could it be that I am from this family?

"Didn't you ask me before why I adopted you and kept you by my side?"

Old Qiao looked at this boy, who had been with him for more than ten years.

He could still remember the first time he fought with someone and how he fought violently for half a steamed bun.

Later, he grabbed the steamed bun, but instead of eating it himself, he gave it to a girl who was younger than him.

Moreover, that girl has no blood relationship with him.

But there was no one left in his family. Because the family favored boys over girls, the girl was also driven out. She had to go out to beg for food every day and bring the food she got back home at night for the rest of the family to eat.

His kindness would have been fatal a dozen years ago.

But his action reminded him of the kindness of the old lady in giving him a meal during the famine.

In order to repay his gratitude, he took Xiaolong with him and sent him to learn skills from a master, so that he would have a skill and be able to survive in the future.

He had no intention of telling Xiaolong about his background.

Because the old lady had passed away long ago, he had no contact with other people in her family.

He went to see the old lady after returning to the imperial capital in order to repay her kindness.

I just didn’t expect that in that era, it could really kill people.

All the old lady's family members were killed, and their belongings were smashed and looted, with almost nothing left.

These items in his hands were found later in the old lady's old house.

Fortunately, he had done underground digging work before and was good at finding mechanisms.

So something was found under the bed where the old lady had slept.

As for why I’m selling things now.

Also for Xiaolong.

When the item was found, a letter was also attached.

The letter said that if these things fell into the hands of kind people, they would be given to them.

If kind-hearted people don’t want them, they will be sold in batches later.

As for who she sold it to, the old lady didn't say.

Now, Mr. Qiao finally understood.

Perhaps the old lady had known for a long time that her family would come looking for her one day.

Or maybe, she was secretly hoping that someone from her family could find her again through these things.

Or, be able to take care of her offspring.

Xiaolong is the old lady’s great-grandson and the only bloodline of her family.

Speaking of which, the Yan family is not very lucky and is selfish and poor.

In Yan Zhentian's lineage, one of his two sons died and the other went missing.

As for the old lady, it is said that she was in poor health and gave birth to only one son.

And after giving birth to a son, her son never had another child.

As for the great-grandchildren, Xiaolong's parents only had him.

Before he was found, Xiaolong grew up eating at many different houses.

"Because your great-grandmother saved my life, I took you in. You are her only blood."

Xiaolong was a little surprised, but didn't find it strange.

Mr. Qiao has always been this kind of person.

He is cold-blooded and ruthless at heart. It would be more reasonable for him to take me in if there was such a reason.

"So, what does their coming have to do with me?"
