Uncle gasped for breath and stopped at me. "Jian... Ning, I thought you were gone."
"Uncle, is there anything else?" I suppressed the excitement in my heart and asked lightly.
The reason why I was so excited was that I felt that my uncle cared about me. If he didn't care about me, he wouldn't have caught up with me, and he wouldn't have said that he thought I had left. But as long as I thought of what he had done just now, I couldn't face him in a normal mood.
She really didn't know how her mother would feel if she were still alive when she saw what her uncle had done.
Uncle lowered his head and rubbed his hands, refusing to tell me anything.
Her uncle felt annoyed. "If you have something to say, just say it. I'll do it if I can."
"I know it might be inappropriate to say these words to you now, but your aunt wants me to come over and tell you, so I have no choice but to come over." Uncle looked at me uneasily.
"Aunt wants you to tell me something, just say it."
Uncle looked at me and saw whether I was angry or not. Seeing that I was not angry, he said, "When you were young, you lived in our house. At that time, I treated you like my own daughter. As long as you have something for Jiayi, sometimes you don't have anything for her."
"You are sensible and obedient, and you like to study. Although you don't have a father to accompany you, in my eyes, you are a good child, so I am willing to be good to you."
Listening to my uncle's recollection of the past, I felt a lump in my throat and tears welled up in my eyes.
Those beautiful memories had long been forgotten. No matter if it was me or my uncle, they could not go back. Everyone lived for themselves. Although it was not wrong to live for themselves, we had lost a lot of things.
At that time, I lived in my uncle's house. As long as my uncle got off work, he would give it to me immediately. Then I thought of Ning Jiayi. Since I was a child, I had been told that although I didn't have a father, I had the best uncle in the world.
His kindness to me also made my aunt unhappy, because these two had quarreled with each other many times, and the most serious thing was that they reconciled because of my departure.
I will never forget the happy time when I lived in my uncle's house, but what he has done now is too heartbreaking to my heart...
I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes and said softly, "I know that there must be something wrong with my uncle when he catches up with me. Just say it. You don't have to beat around the bush. I will do what you know."
"Then I'll tell you." Uncle rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
I nodded and looked at him quietly.
Uncle still didn't dare to look at my eyes, but he had already said to me, "When your mother came to Luo City to settle down, she didn't have money to buy a house. It was me who carried your aunt..."
Before I could finish my words, my heart was already cold.
Come to think of it, the reason why my uncle caught up with me was for the sake of my mother's property. He hoped that I could give half of it to them.
Looking at my aged uncle in front of me, I couldn't say a word for a long time. After he finished speaking, he stood where he was and didn't dare to look at me. His eyes were full of nervousness and embarrassment.
"Now that I think about it, he has decided to tell me these things in person. He must have already thought of the consequences, right?"
"Uncle, there's something I haven't told you," I said.
His uncle was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"
