Lian Xinying listened to Duran's explanation, her mind in a daze.
In her memory, there wasn't even an image of her grandmother.
"My mom never mentioned anything about my grandmother," Lian Xinying was now wary of casually trusting Duran or the elderly woman in front of her.
Duran noticed her cold and distant expression, likely having expected this reaction, so he glanced at the elderly woman.
"Your mom never talked about me because she had already cut ties with me. Back then, your mom wanted to marry your dad, but I disagreed. I had already arranged another marriage for her, and your dad was just a low-ranking official at the time, while the man I introduced to your mom was a businessman, very wealthy... This issue caused the rift between us," explained the elderly woman.
Lian Xinying was unaware of this matter.
Even when she was a child, with her parents around, they never spoke of such things.
