Chapter 119
"Why hasn't anyone told me for so long?" Jian Tian asked in surprise.
She has been studying abroad for the past two years, and only occasionally returns to China to live during holidays, so she knows very little about what's going on at home. If Jian Ying hadn't told her about this today, she wouldn't have known at all.
At this moment, she finally understood the meaning behind the evasive eyes of the servants at home, and also understood why when asked about the whereabouts of Jian Ci, Jian Qing and Jian Ya would respond unceremoniously:"We don't know where that ungrateful person is." The cold tone seemed to be accusing a sinner.
And when she turned around to ask Jian Zhenghao and Shao Liru, she didn't expect that the two of them changed their faces immediately after hearing it.
So this is the reason.
But no one told her what happened.
Jian Ying looked out the window and slowly replied:"You didn't ask either!"
Jian Tian pursed her lips.
Indeed, most of the time, she didn't care much about this family and her found brother.
Most of the time, her attention was on her paintings.
She paused and asked,"Why did Xiaoci break up with us?"
Jian Ying stroked her hair gently, sighed, and began to recall:"That day, Xiaoli said that Xiaoci pushed him, and then everyone ignored Xiaoci's explanation and believed what Xiaoli said. Amid everyone's misunderstanding and accusations, Xiaoci broke up with us in a rage and left this family." Jian
Tian was still waiting for the follow-up, but Jian Ying didn't speak again, so she couldn't help asking,"Just because of this little thing, he broke up with us?"
Jian Ying tilted her head to look at Jian Tian, then said,"I don't think this is a small matter, but the last straw that broke the camel's back." Jian
Tian asked,"What do you mean?"
"You are not often at home, so you don't know a lot of things," Jian Ying explained, with some annoyance in her tone,"Xiao Ci was often locked up in a small dark room by her father. There was even one time when it was raining heavily outside, and her father locked Xiao Ci up outside for a whole night. All this was just because he suspected that Xiao Ci had bullied Xiao Li."
"Also, things were inexplicably lost at home, and everyone assumed that Xiaoci had stolen them. For this reason, my father thought Xiaoci was being stubborn and kept him hungry for a day."
Jian Tian interrupted her and said,"I know about this. Xiaoci never lost anything before he came to our house. He started losing things after he came. When I came back that time, I found that a ring was missing from my box. I think it must have been him who did it."
But she herself didn't know about the previous things.
But after hearing what Jian Ying said, she felt it was quite cruel.
Jian Ying looked at him,"Then why did you specifically look for him today to give him a birthday present."
Jian Tian smiled and explained,"I thought the lost things were not that valuable. Besides, nothing was lost later. It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. The most important thing is that we are a family after all, so we won't care about these things in the past."
Jian Ying didn't expect Jian Tian to look at these things in this way.
She retracted her gaze and continued,"I think the things lost at home were not taken by Xiaoci."
""Sister, why do you think so?" Jian Tian asked in confusion,"Although I don't care about these things, it is true that things started to go missing from our house after he came."
