Hua Lingyou was stunned on the spot in response to Ling Tianyu's words. If he himself didn't know, then what were they investigating? Could anything even come from such an investigation? This seemed like a joke.
If Ling Tianyu didn't know, then any further investigation would just be a waste of effort.
"Have your parents never mentioned it even once?" Hua Lingyou regained her composure, feeling it unlikely. Even if they had passed away, parents should at least mention something, since it's about their descendants, after all.
"No, I've asked. They said they're dead, and that was it. I've never even seen a portrait," Ling Tianyu recalled, indeed nothing had been mentioned. Other families visited relatives on the third day of the New Year, but his family never did. He didn't even know who his maternal grandparents were, never having uttered the words grandma or grandpa.
