Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 376: Qiao Yunni has another background?

The person in the painting is not exactly like Qiao Yunni, but at least she is 80% similar, and it would not be an exaggeration to say 90% similar.

But his brows and eyes were relaxed, as if he was bathing in a fresh breeze and auspicious air, as if he had never suffered any hardship. It was obvious that he grew up in a comfortable wealthy family.

Then Shi Nanfu quickly painted a portrait of a stern wealthy man. The relaxed feeling of the person in the portrait was restrained, and he seemed a little more steady and dignified, but the noble air was still revealed.

Then there is the portrait of a poor family with a relaxed look. Their faces are a little dull and weathered, but their expressions are not sad.

The stern version of a poor family, with drooping eyelids, sagging corners of the mouth, and slightly tense facial features. Qiao Lianer immediately associated this image with the way Qiao Yunni looked in the Song family.

Later, he returned to the Qiao family and became a relaxed poor version, and now he has become a relaxed and happy rich version, but the dullness on his face from having experienced hardships in life is still there.

Qiao Lianer looked at these paintings over and over again, and became more and more silent.

"Brother Wei, how long have you been looking for the person in this portrait?"

"I've been searching for this for eight years, starting at the age of seventeen and entering the provincial government office. It can be said that this is my main goal."

"Excuse me, is she someone to you?"

"She is my cousin. She was lost when she was a few months old. My uncle and aunt have been looking for her ever since."

"The child is only a few months old. Why didn't you take good care of her and let her get lost?"

Qiao Lianer thought that parents like that were too irresponsible.

"My uncle and aunt offended someone, and they had my cousin stolen away in the middle of the night and thrown away somewhere very far away, perhaps hundreds of miles away."

"Luckily, they had hired an artist to draw a picture of my cousin before, so we have this little clue." Wei Chi said with a hint of emotion, "These portraits drawn by Lord Shi may be of great help to me. I just hope my cousin is still alive and well."

Qiao Jianer wanted to ask more, but was afraid of arousing Wei Chi's suspicion.

She planned to find a time to meet Gao Shuying and find out more information.

If Qiao Yunni has another family background, we will talk about it later.

Wei Chi: "Reward."

"No need, I don't make a living from this." Shi Nanfu said, "Just keep this secret. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Not to mention painting portraits, he even kept all the monthly allowances and dividends that Miss Qiao gave him in the bank without touching a single cent. He would find a way to return them to Miss Qiao when the time came.

Wei Chi took the portrait and left. Qiao Jianer also said goodbye to Shi Nanfu and left the teahouse.

She didn't want Wei Chi to see Qiao Yunni now. If her mother was really someone else's child, it was still unknown whether recognizing her as her relative was a good thing or a bad thing.

This is a serious matter and requires careful consideration and decision.

"Brother Wei."

Qiao Jianer called out to Wei Chi.

Wei Chi did not go far. When he came out and heard his two right-hand men discussing secretly, he found out that when he asked for a meeting, Shi Nanfu got angry and even wanted to kill him. It was Qiao Lianer who pleaded for him.

Otherwise, not only would he not be able to get these paintings, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Although he was skilled in martial arts, he knew that he was no match for Shi Nanfu when he saw his aura.

This means that this little girl saved his life.

He was also deliberately lingering to see if he could say a few words to Qiao Jianer, but he didn't want to, so he just left without any expression of gratitude.

Qiao Lian'er saw a gleam in Wei Chi's eyes, which was an emotion of recognition.

Could it be because she looked like the person in the portrait? Qiao Jianer became even more uneasy.

However, if my mother is really Wei Chi’s cousin, then she is Wei Chi’s niece, and Wei Chi is her cousin.

Thinking of this possibility, she felt a little complicated.

"Miss Qiao, thank you." Before she could speak, Wei Chi thanked her.

"Ah, thank you for what?"

"I didn't know that Master Shi was so secretive about his ability to paint portraits. If you hadn't been there, I'm afraid—"

"It's a small matter, don't worry about it." Qiao Lian'er said, "Brother Wei, I want to ask you, there are so many similar people in this vast sea of ​​people. Can you identify them based on a portrait? Is there a possibility of mistake?"

"This..." Wei Chi thought about it and agreed.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll first make a count of similar people, then eliminate them one by one, starting with this county."

Qiao Jianer coughed and said, "That's not right."

"Miss Qiao, what do you think?"

In the past, Wei Chi would have ignored her and turned away, but now it was different. This little girl saved his life.

Those of them who travel around the world attach the most importance to the word "righteousness".

"I think that searching city by city, village by village like you, Brother Wei, is time-consuming and laborious, and it's likely to arouse people's vigilance, so the results may not be very good."

"Why don't you go back to your aunt and uncle's house and ask if your cousin has any other characteristics. If the appearance and characteristics match, it will be easier to find her."

"But my cousin is a girl, this." Wei Chi hesitated.

If he were to ask about the woman's characteristics, he would probably be caught as a thief and have his spine broken.

"No problem, I can help you." Qiao Jianer patted his chest and promised.

"This is too much trouble for you."

Wei Chi couldn't understand why Qiao Jian'er wanted to help him, and he could only think that this little girl was kind-hearted.

Perhaps, she did it for Gao Shuying's sake.

"It's not a problem. If you don't trust me, you can let Sister Gao go. I'm just making a suggestion."

Wei Chi felt that what Qiao Jianer said made sense. There were so many people in the world, how long would it take to compare portraits of them one by one?

"It's not that I'm worried about you. I'll go back first."

"Brother Wei, where is your home——"

"It's in Yuezhou City, where my aunt and uncle live, just one street away."

Qiao Jianer stroked his chin. "Four hundred miles, even if we ride fast, isn't too far. A trip there won't delay us much. Who knows, it might even greatly increase the chances of finding it."

The two said goodbye, and as they watched Wei Chi ride away on horseback, the enthusiasm on Qiao Lian'er's face slowly disappeared.

In fact, she did notice a little something unusual, but she didn't take it seriously.

For example, my mother has fair skin, beautiful looks, and a slim figure. She has suffered for many years, but she has not lost these characteristics. She does not look like Old Man Qiao and Old Lady Qiao. Only the expressions between her eyebrows and eyes are similar. But if you look closely, you can't see any genetic inheritance in her facial features.

But this is hard to say. My mother is naturally very strong, which is a tradition inherited from the Qiao family.

Qiao Lian'er owns a 300-square-meter shop with two floors, which serves as her headquarters. She manages it herself, and Qiao Yunni is often busy here as well.

Just like at home, when she couldn't see Qiao Lian'er, she would come out to see her from time to time.

As soon as he stuck his head out, Qiao Jianer pushed him in.

Because Wei Chi came from that end on horseback, this street was the only way out of the city.

And Wei Chi seemed to have seen this.
