“I approached you with a purpose in the first place, and I always felt a bit guilty in my heart, that’s why I tried so hard to explain for you after the fire incident, and now I’m relieved to see that you’re okay and still living a happy life.”
“……”
Nian Xiaomu did not expect to hear such an answer.
Of the Xing family’s children, most of them were not diligent in their limbs because of the influence of the previous generation.
Only Xing Fang, who excelled in her studies, was also particularly diligent.
After graduating, she had been earning money to support the family.
She thought that it was because the Xing family had been in a bad situation for the past few years that they had put so much pressure on her, but to her surprise, the pressure had been there since she was a child.
As soon as Xing Fang’s words left her mouth, both the Xing family’s third uncle and third aunt’s faces did not look good.
Trying to say something, they could not utter a word.
It was because they were useless that they had dragged their own children into this and had to learn to look at people’s faces at a young age.
Thinking of something, Nian Xiaomu suddenly asked.
“You guys said that ten years ago, everyone in the Xing family relied on my foster parents to support them, so how have you guys been living all these years since they died? I remember you guys said before that someone was helping out the Xing family, what kind of person?”
As the words fell, the faces of the people in the Xing family’s living room all looked a little strange.
Nian Xiaomu could see that there was definitely something wrong in there, and his voice sank down.
“As I said, this is your only chance, as long as you tell me the truth, I promise I won’t take it out on the Xing family.”
“I’ll say it!”
The Xing family’s second uncle took a step forward and took out the air of a great elder.
Soon, the expression became torn again.
“Actually, people are reluctant to say, not because they have something to hide, but because they don’t know how to say it.”
“What do you mean?” Nian Xiaomu frowned.
“This matter, it’s a long story.” The Xing family’s second uncle glanced at the Xing family behind him, and his thick voice, with a few hints of reminiscence, unfolded.
“The fire that year, happened very suddenly, my elder brother and sister-in-law died, the company fell into chaos, several of our brothers had no choice but to watch the company go bankrupt, at that time it was really to the point of near despair ……”
“Just at that time, the Xing family suddenly came to a person, saying that he was a friend of my elder brother and sister-in-law and had come to help the Xing family on purpose, although we had our suspicions, after all, we had not heard my elder brother and sister-in-law talk about such a person, but then seeing that he was sincere in helping the Xing family, our suspicions were dispelled.”
Hearing what Second Uncle had said earlier, Fourth Uncle, who had been silent, spoke up and added.
“I remember that it was also that benefactor’s suggestion that the Xing family would move away and disappear in H City at that time, saying that since such a thing had happened to the Xing family, staying would only touch everyone’s heart, so he offered money and let us move away to help us settle down in Lin City.”
Xing family third uncle: “I remember this too, after all it was a family move, we were very hesitant and had no money on hand, it was that benefactor who promised us that he would take care of the Xing family until all the Xing family’s younger generation grew up, and to our surprise, three years ago, he suddenly disappeared!”
“Do you have a photo of that man? What was his name?” When Nian Xiaomu heard their words, her face lit up with joy and she asked excitedly.
Her intuition told her that the person who had been taking care of the Xing family was probably her real family.
The Xing family’s second uncle: “I have the photo! I remember that benefactor took a photo with us at the beginning, I’ve been carefully storing it, it should be in the cabinet, you guys wait for me for a while, I’m going to get it out!”
