Chapter 1300: Do You Want to Know What Happened Back Then?

“Chen Chen, there are some things that your brother-in-law and I don’t want to tell you. We’re afraid that you’ll be sad. But Sister only wants you to be safe and sound now. Nothing else matters. So, even if you’re sad after hearing what happened, I still want you to know the truth.”

Qiao Chen asked, “Sister, what are you trying to tell me?”

Qiao Mianmian looked at the thin and handsome young man in front of her. Her gaze landed on his pale and sickly face, and her heart ached.

Why did her Chen Chen have to suffer so much?

She’d rather the Mo family didn’t find him.

She’d rather Qiao Chen be an ordinary person forever.

She never wanted a rich life. To her, it was more important for the siblings to be safe and healthy.

Ordinary people had their own happiness.

No matter how rich and powerful the Mo family was, bringing danger to her Chen Chen wasn’t a good place to go.

“Chen Chen, do you want to know what happened back then?” Qiao Mianmian took a deep breath and held his hand. “About your parents and why you were sent to the orphanage. If you want to know, I’ll tell you.”

Qiao Chen was stunned for a few seconds.

Did he want to know?

Of course, he wanted to.

Ever since he found out that his biological parents were someone else, he wanted to know what exactly happened back then.

Everyone wanted to know their true identity.

After a moment of silence, he nodded.

“Alright, I’ll tell you then.” Qiao Mianmian sorted out her thoughts and said, “Back then, your mother had cancer during a physical examination. The doctor said that she could only live for a year at most.”

Qiao Chen looked at her in shock.

Mo Yesi was the one who told Qiao Mianmian about this.

She sighed when she heard it.

“Your mother was born into a family of scholars, so she had always lived by the rules. When she knew that she had cancer and would leave this world soon, she wanted to indulge herself once before she left.

“She went overseas for a trip and met your father at a hotel. At that time, your father was still single.

“I heard that your mother was very beautiful, and your father fell in love with her at first sight. You should know what happened next. They got together and spent a very good time overseas.

“Your father wanted to bring her back and officially introduce her to his family, but your mother chose to leave without saying goodbye.

“She disappeared completely, and your father couldn’t find her even after using many connections. Then, the Mo family arranged marriage of equal social status for your father. Your father couldn’t find your mother, so he gave up and accepted that marriage.

“Not long after he got married, he finally found your mother. When he rushed over, your mother had just given birth to you and was lying on the bed. Your father... saw her for the last time and brought you back to the Mo family.”

Qiao Mianmian looked up and saw that Qiao Chen’s eyes were red.

The young man clenched his fists tightly.

He was holding back his tears, but his eyes were already wet.

Qiao Mianmian held his hand tightly. “Your father loves you very much. He caused such trouble outside and even brought you back. This is against the Mo family’s rules. Anyone who violates the family rules must be punished.”
