Chapter 1578: Chapter 1578: Brother-in-law Visits 3

Feng Qingxue understood, "So you’re planning to discuss marriage after Xiaoyun returns from her studies?"

"Yes," Li Jiaoyang responded without hesitation. "Yunyun has exceptional musical talent. You might not know this, but Yunyun is also very gifted in piano. When I taught her on an old piano, she picked it up very quickly, even though she made a few mistakes in the notes. Her hands are perfect for playing the piano. Our country’s conditions don’t allow for much, so studying abroad will only benefit her. Learning more things never hurts—this is something the master who once supported my studies told me, and it applies just the same to Yunyun."

Feng Qingxue nodded in agreement. "The master who supported your studies was absolutely right—learning has no limits. I also hope my own children spend their lives learning and not wasting their talents. Knowing Xiaoyun has the chance to go abroad and not knowing when she might return, are you still planning to set things early?"

"I want to be able to rightfully send her money for tuition and living expenses," Li Jiaoyang said with great seriousness.

Feng Qingyun’s face turned slightly red. Her heart felt incredibly sweet, like she’d just had honey.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were greatly comforted by this.

For a moment, no one knew what to say. Feng Qingxue noticed the water in the enamel mugs in front of everyone had gone cold and stood up to grab the thermos.

"Let me. Let me do it," Li Jiaoyang quickly got up and reached out to take the thermos from Feng Qingxue’s hands.

Feng Qingyun hurriedly said, "Call her Big Sister! Don’t be so shy."

Li Jiaoyang didn’t immediately address them as "Big Sister" and "Brother-in-law." Instead, he looked at Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue. When he saw them nodding one after the other, his heart immediately filled with joy. As he poured the water, he respectfully said, "Big Sister, Brother-in-law."

"Since you’ve called us Big Sister and Brother-in-law, that means we’re family. And in a family, there’s no need to stand on ceremony," Lu Jiang said. "Jiaoyang, although Xiaoyun has briefly mentioned your situation, we’d like to hear it from you."

Li Jiaoyang replied, "Brother-in-law, you can ask me directly about anything. There’s nothing I can’t talk about."

"You’re an orphan? Do you remember how you ended up at the orphanage?"

Li Jiaoyang thought for a bit. "From what the orphanage’s ’Mom’ told me, I was sent there when I was very young and have no memories of my past. The person who brought me to the orphanage said they weren’t my parents. They said they’d encountered a couple who were on the verge of death, seemingly being pursued. That couple entrusted me to them with the hope of delivering me to my biological parents and gave them all the savings they had. But, after the money was spent and they couldn’t find my biological parents, they couldn’t afford to raise me and left me at the orphanage."

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue exchanged glances. Could that couple being pursued have been Li Jun and his wife? Twenty-six or twenty-seven years ago, that would have been around 1945 or 1946, during the civil war, a time of chaos and bloodshed. It wasn’t impossible that Li Jun and his wife had met with disaster.

Based on what Li Jiaoyang had just said, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue found themselves thinking it was unlikely Li Jun had deliberately taken someone else’s child and not returned them.

"Forgive me for asking bluntly—do you have three black moles on the soles of your feet?"

Hearing this, Feng Qingyun’s eyes widened. "Brother-in-law, why would you ask such a thing? Do you know something about Jiaoyang’s background?"

When Li Jiaoyang bought things for her, she had also bought him a pair of leather shoes. At the time, while trying on the shoes, Li Jiaoyang had teased her, saying he had three black moles on the soles of his feet—like stepping on three stars. She had even jokingly asked why it wasn’t the Big Dipper instead.
