Chapter 1430: Chapter 1447: The Long-Hidden Secret 3

Until a year later, when the Lan Family had almost given up searching, this young lady returned on her own.

She had had enough of the poor days; she didn’t know how she managed to get through the past year. She proposed a breakup, and that man actually hit her.

She was finally completely desperate and ran back home.

The Lan Family was both elated and furious to see their daughter return.

At that time, I was also troubled by Xiao’er and that woman’s lingering connections. If that woman’s family was just poor, perhaps due to Xiao’er’s persistence, I would agree to this marriage.

But the woman’s mother was a prostitute, which was a great disgrace for the Nangong Family at that time. Although it had nothing to do with that woman, after all, with the social status of the Nangong Family, such a woman was not allowed to enter our family.

Therefore, in order to break up Xiao’er and that woman named Cheng Yuya, the head of the Lan Family and I ultimately decided that our families would continue the marriage alliance.

But what I didn’t know at the time was that Lan Jinqin was already with child. The child was only one year old and still in swaddling clothes. Moreover, she and that man had twins; when she escaped back, she only brought back the younger daughter.

The elder daughter was left with that man.

In order to be able to marry into the Nangong Family, the Lan Family resolutely decided to send that child to an orphanage in the country.

And that man also chased back, apologizing to Miss Lan, wanting to take her back.

As a result, he was caught by the Lan Family and severely beaten, breaking one of his legs; they told him that Miss Lan was already engaged to the Nangong Family and that he should leave. Otherwise, they would not be polite.

A month later, Xiao’er received a call; that woman had been kidnapped. He rushed over immediately, and it was inside an old factory at the time; when Xiao’er arrived, that woman was inside the factory.

But as soon as he rushed in, the entire factory caught fire.

Later, Xiao’er escaped on his own, but that woman..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but feel horrified.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Did she... die?"

"Yes, she was buried in the fire."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes couldn’t help but become a little moist. She murmured and asked, "That woman... was really Nangong Yaoling’s biological mother? But she’s... already dead?"

"Yes." Nangong Jinlie sighed.

"And... it was his father who personally abandoned her?"

"Later, Xiao’er also felt guilty. He said that at the time she was tied to a pillar, the fire started, and the rope couldn’t be untied. Later, Miss Cheng told him to leave, to make sure he took good care of the child on his own. Both of them couldn’t die like that. Xiao’er had no choice but to escape alone. Otherwise, both would have died there..."

Xia Xiaonuan covered her lips with her hand.

After a long while, she choked and asked, "Does Nangong Yaoling know all this?"

"He doesn’t know." Nangong Jinlie sighed slightly and continued, "Later, Xiao’er married the eldest daughter of the Lan Family, who is now Ling’er’s mother. Everyone outside believed that Ling’er was their child. The Lan Family used their influence to hide this disaster, and from then on, no one knew about this matter again."

Xia Xiaonuan felt like she was listening to some sort of novel.

All of this was simply too incredible.

"It’s like a movie." Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help muttering to herself.
