Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1462: Chapter 1456: The Past_1 Chapter 1462: Chapter 1456: The Past_1 However, Nangong Beiying did not know that due to the numerous experiences of Nangong Kunpeng, he did not want his daughter to live a life in longing like his own. He would keep whatever he could from her.

“Yingying, you all are here,” Qin Xue called out as soon as her sharp eyes noticed them.

“Yes, Xuexue, this is my father, Nangong Kunpeng.” The last time Qin Xue came to see Nangong Kunpeng with Nangong Beiying, they had watched him from a distance, so they had never formally met. This was, in effect, their first meeting.

“Hello, uncle.” Qin Xue had not yet fully explained her situation to Nangong Kunpeng, so she could only address him as uncle. Otherwise, if she addressed him as uncle in relation to her mother, he might think she was crazy for claiming an unannounced relationship.

“Hello, Uncle.” The others followed suit and greeted him the same way as Qin Xue.

“Please, sit, make yourselves comfortable.” Nangong Kunpeng nodded, looking at the young people present, each one a potential dragon or phoenix among people.

‘Thank you.’ The crowd responded in unison.

“Hello, Grandpa,” the children under the care of the adults greeted him, losing out on the chance to greet him earlier.

“Hello, you’re all so well-behaved.” Nangong Kunpeng, usually serious, smiled with his eyes squinted, looking at these polite children.

“Grandpa is also very well-behaved.” Yu Chen blurted out. His words with their childish lilt left the people in the room not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What exactly did he mean by ‘Grandpa is also very well-behaved?

“Haha, good boy.” Nangong Kunpeng laughed heartily. It seemed that the heavens were watching over the Gong’s family, blessing them with such successors.

“Dad, you can sit and talk.” Nangong Beiying guided her father to a sofa.

“Alright. Yingying, you mentioned earlier that you had something to ask me?” After settling down, Nangong Kunpeng asked them, looking serious.

“Yes, there are some things we wanted to ask about, if it’s indeed true then we would want to know the reason why, and if it’s not, then we apologize for the inconvenience.” This time, it was Chu Molin who spoke, his cold voice revealing no discernible emotion.

“Okay, feel free to ask anything.” Nangong Kunpeng asserted that since he was here, he would reveal everything that had to be said.

“May I know if you have a sister named Nangong Shulan?” Qin Xue asked Nangong Kunpeng.

“Yes.” Nangong Kunpeng confirmed Qin Xue’s question.

“Where is she now?” Qin Xue pursued her line of questioning.

“We got separated when we were young and we haven’t been able to find her since.” Nangong Kunpeng felt that this wasn’t a secret; anyone of his age would know that. One just had to ask to understand the situation.

“Didn’t you send people to look for her?”

“We searched for her for many years, but we were never able to find her. Eventually we gave up on the search, though we still ask people to keep an ear out. We never truly gave up.” Nangong Kunpeng couldn’t possibly have people searching for her outside indefinitely. So once years of searching turned up nothing, he simply had people passively keeping an eye out for her.

“So you’ve had no idea what she’s been up to ever since?” Qin Xue was shocked to learn about this.

“Yes, I don’t know.” If Nangong Kunpeng knew, wouldn’t he have brought her back?

“I have no more questions. You can ask now.” Qin Xue felt she had a good grasp of the situation, so she turned to Jing Xin and spoke.

“You’re only asking those few questions?” Nangong Kunpeng was surprised that Qin Xue had only those few questions. Was she going to acknowledge the relationship or not?

“My questions have all been answered and I now know what I need to know. Naturally, it’s other people’s turn to ask, isn’t it?” Qin Xue nodded. She now had a clear picture of what her mother’s situation in the Nangongs had been like. What else could she ask? If Nangong Kunpeng didn’t know something, wouldn’t asking him about it be futile?
