I was not surprised that Jing Tian was the last because he was the youngest of the 7 brothers. As for why he didn't take over the Jing Family's legitimate business and chose to join the underworld, I didn't ask for details either. I was sure he would tell me in time.
"But what about my mother?" That was the issue I was most interested in.
My little uncle wiped his hands with napkin. "Our family has deep roots in the underworld. So your mother received a lot of attention since she was young. When she was 15, she already had many suitors and Shi Li was one of them. He was also the most determined of the suitors. Our two families were closest in terms of status."
I was stunned.
"Yes, even the underworld cares about family status and background. Almost everyone assume Shi Li and your mother will end up together but your mother got to know your father instead." My little uncle shook his head.
