328 Qiao Ying’s Origin

Qiao Yue frowned as she read the contents of the report.

“What does this mean? I didn’t give you any DNA sample of third uncle, right?”

“We have samples at home.” Qiao Jing sighed.

Their family had established a DNA library with samples from everyone. And Qiao Ying’s samples were fake.

“When I was looking through the library, I found out that third uncle and Qiao Ying’s DNA had been tested, so I was curious and repeated the test. The results were as I expected.”

“Did third uncle do this on purpose? But third aunt’s child had indeed died from illness.” Qiao Yue frowned.

The child that third aunt bought to comfort herself was actually third uncle’s illegitimate daughter?

“But it’s strange. If that’s the case, shouldn’t third uncle be more protective of Qiao Ying?” Qiao Yue asked.

“Impossible. Not all illegitimate children are born out of love.” Qiao Jing sighed.

He had investigated Qiao Ying’s mother. Qiao Ying’s birth mother was born into a family that could be considered noble. Although they were not as rich as the Qiao family, they were still wealthy.

However, Qiao Ying’s mother and Qiao Li did not really have a relationship. It was a one-night stand after a party. She accidentally got pregnant with Qiao Ying and gave birth to the her.

“These rich and powerful families could really hide their sins.” Qiao Yue sneered. “What happened after that?”

“After Qiao Ying was born, Qiao Li must have struck some kind of agreement with her mother to raise Qiao Ying in a welfare home owned by the Qiao family. After that, when third aunt’s child died, Qiao Ying was brought home as the seventh young miss.”

“How are we going to deal with this matter? Should we tell Qiao Ying?” Qiao Yue asked.

Qiao Jing shook his head.

He couldn’t tell Qiao Ying about this now as it would hurt her.

After all, she had been bullied by the third madam and Qiao Xin for years without Qiao Li speaking up even once for her.

“It’s really sad.” Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Ying, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat, and sighed.

“I’ll find someone to protect her while we’re in K-Country. I won’t let them hurt her.” Qiao Yue said.

She felt a closeness with Qiao Ying whenever she looked at her.

After an hour’s drive, they arrived at the cake shop where they had booked a class.

It was a small, exquisite shop selling seasonal chestnut-flavored desserts now.

The three of them walked into the shop and the staff greeted them warmly.

They were going to bake a chestnut black tea cake today, and the three of them would work together.

Qiao Jing was in charge of the chestnut jam. He had to mix peeled chestnuts with butter and then blend it into a jam. The jam looked simple, but it was quite tedious to peel the chestnuts one by one.

But Qiao Jing had always been a patient man. He sat by the window and peeled the chestnuts by hand.

The sunlight from outside the window fell on him.

He was wearing a yellow sweater with daisy pattern. His hair hung softly as he peeled the chestnuts with a slight frown. He looked more relaxed.

Qiao Yue was making custard when she was stunned by the scene. This was the first time she felt that her second brother was so handsome.

Qiao Ying was in charge of the black tea cake. She was more serious and meticulous, so she made no mistakes.

Although it was their first time making a cake , the three of them worked well together and completed the project very quickly.

An exquisite cake appeared in front of them. Qiao Ying’s face was flushed red. “Thank you, second brother. Thank you, fifth brother.”

There were tears in her eyes.

“Alright, everything’s fine. Don’t cry, cut the cake.” Qiao Jing handed a tissue to Qiao Ying.

“How come you’re so touched by just making a cake?” Qiao Yue said teasingly.

The three of them brought the cake back to the Qiao residence. Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing were leaving for K-Country tomorrow and there were many things to prepare.

In the car, Qiao Yue and Qiao Ying chatted. Qiao Ying looked more lively than usual.

Thinking about what happened between Qiao Li and the third madam, Qiao Yue’s heart ached. Qiao Ying was such a good person, how could she have such parents?

“When we are in K-Country, you must protect yourself, okay?” Qiao Yue instructed.

She was afraid that Qiao Li and the third madam would do something to this poor girl.
