The Xing family’s second uncle said with some embarra*sment.
The one who paid for it was the eldest, those of them, at the beginning, were completely dependent on their elder brother and sister-in-law’s succour to be able to live a good life.
Big brother and sister-in-law favoured their younger daughter for such things, they could only mention their opinions and could not say anything more.
“Then what kind of person picked me up back then, you guys don’t know that either?” Nian Xiaomu’s face, flashed with obvious disappointment, still asked patiently.
As the words fell, everyone turned their heads to look at Xing Fang.
This time, without waiting for the Xing family’s second uncle to speak first, the Xing family’s third uncle snatched the words.
“We really didn’t know about this, back then when we couldn’t find you at the fire, we all thought you were dead, you killed your parents, only to be burnt to ashes as well, so no one thought much about it at all, not to mention that you were picked up, even if you were still alive, we only knew about it after Xing Li’s matter came out.”
The Xing family’s third uncle paused and continued.
“Yes, after the fire ten years ago, Xing Fang did mention to us that you didn’t set the fire, she saw you being picked up with her own eyes, but she was just a child at that time, and we didn’t believe what she said at all, and thought she wanted to defend you and excuse you because she was closer to you since she was a child, and I even beat her a few times for this… …”
The Xing family’s third uncle said, his face blushing slightly.
He reached out and touched his nose, and in his eyes was a regret that he couldn’t hide.
His own daughter didn’t even believe in him, believing in Xing Li, a madman.
At these words, Nian Xiaomu looked at Xing Fang with complicated eyes.
She was grateful for Xing Fang’s defence of her.
But she also remembered that the old photos Fan Yu had turned over, together with Xing Li’s statement confirming that Xing Fang had, back then, often sneaked behind her.
That was why she had bumped into the image of her being picked up.
And not, as she said, just by chance.
“Speaking of which, I’m also at fault.” Xing Fang met Nian Xiaomu’s gaze that seemed to see through everything, and a flash of weakness flashed under her eyes.
Both hands nervously scratched the hem of her skirt.
It was only after a long time that she spoke.
“Since Fan Shao is here, then you should already know that when I was a child, I often followed behind you ……”
Xing Fang reached out and gathered her long hair that she had let down, and on her clear face, a maturity that did not fit this age group flashed.
Nian Xiaomu’s eyes flickered slightly, “You like Fan Yu?”
“Where do I match.” Xing Fang glanced at Fan Yu, very inferior eyes down, fingers twisted the corner of his own clothes, “and I simply did not have that kind of heart at that time, I followed you, only because eldest uncle and aunt love you, I have a good relationship with you, they will also love me and be good to our family …… ”
Everyone in the Xing family relied on the Xing couple for sustenance.
Xing Fang also grew up watching her parents being subservient in front of the Xing family couple.
And because she was able to get closer to Xing Xing, during that time, the Xing family couple’s attitude towards their family was obviously much better.
Although Xing Fang was young at that time, a child’s mind is the most sensitive.
In order to make the Xing family couple love her more, she always liked to follow Xing Xing Xing later on, inquiring about the things she liked and then pleasing her.
Little did she know that she would unintentionally find out that she often sneaked out and ran off to play with a little brother.
What’s more, she didn’t expect that that little brother back then was the now famous young Fan in the business world.
She didn’t say anything at first because she felt that her initial thoughts were too mean.
In addition, she was also worried that Nian Xiaomu was already with Yu Yuehan, and mentioning her childhood friend again would have an impact on her.
