Chapter 385: The Crowd Panics 10

Lu Yan did not want to ask the question, but he could not help himself. Do you really have keepsakes?

Qi Qingyao widened her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yan with a half-smile.

Lu Yans eyelids twitched. He said with raised brows and simmering eyes, If you really have the keepsakes, what Im curious about is why you havent brought it out yet. Arent you curious about your own parentage? Mo Yangs mother obviously had no other children. Hes an only child. If you want to investigate your parentage, wouldnt the fastest method be to take out the keepsakes and investigate them? Shouldnt the answer reveal itself then?

That makes sense. Qi Qingyao was nonchalant, neither admitting nor denying it.

Dont just keep saying it makes sense. Observing her att.i.tude made Lu Yan suddenly feel agitated. Not waiting for Qi Qingyao to reply, his eyebrows sank and he said seriously, Wait, let me guess, theres only one reason someone has a keepsake yet refuses to reveal it. The keepsake might be very unique! The moment its revealed, your parentage will be made clear!

Were they very unique? Qi Qingyao thought about the two items she had. She did not think that they were all that unique, but since Lu Yan had made such a conjecture, she had to admit it made some sense. She said, You should continue guessing how unique it is. I wanna see how great your imagination is.

Lu Yan,

She was giving him a chance to guess.

It seemed like

Judging by your appearance, your mom and your dad were certainly not ugly. Perhaps theyre very beautiful people.

Lu Yan quietly continued, Theres a problem here. If youre really not a biological child of the Qi family, but were sent to them to be fostered along with some keepsakes, they must have been given silver to keep your ident.i.ty a secret and pretend that you were their child. Ive looked into it. After you were born, the Qi familys life inexplicably improved a lot, and theyve eaten a lot more beef than they ever have. That means they had extra money after you.

Continue using your imagination. Qi Qingyao said, in a calm and collected manner.

Lu Yan studied any microexpressions that appeared across her face seriously. Some time ago, Madam Wu and Qi Boli deliberately came to the mansion. They told you that you werent their biological child, then you guys talked alone. Although Old Man Qi and Madam Wu fought with you again afterward, the point of the conversation was to tell you your parentage, right?

Qi Qingyao, This man was indeed the young master of the Lu family. His intelligence was comparable to those two cunning men. They were all undoubtedly men with plenty of experience from Capital City!

Lu Yans eyes were as sharp as a knife and as warm as fire. And they also gave you the keepsakes

Qi Qingyaos jet-black eyes were cold, and they were glowing a raging fire. Youre so smart its almost scary.

It seemed like his theories had been at least partially correct. Lu Yan smiled suddenly. I just acquired enough clues to make some conjectures.

Qi Qingyao shrugged noncommittally.

Lu Yan felt encouraged. He raised his eyelids, his expression agitated. Anyways, if you were sent to the Qi family with your keepsake and silver, this means that your family could have been being hunted, and might have fallen to the threat. Or maybe youre the child of a concubine in a big family residence. You were resented by the main wife and sent away, but still carried a keepsake with you.

A dark current streamed through Qi Qingyaos eyes.

She remained impa.s.sive.

She wanted to see how much Lu Yan could deduce before he saw the keepsakes.

Lu Yan said to himself, But the second possibility does not hold. Because youre a girl, and not a son. Even if a concubine gave birth to you, theres no reason for a wife to think that a daughter of a concubine was a threat. Therefore, the chances of the second possibility being the case are extremely small.
