Chapter 23 Jiang Yue, I know you hate us
After making the call, Ling Jiangyue hummed a song and drew in the room for a while before going downstairs.

In the living room, Ling Jiangyu is still there, wearing a formal three-piece suit, even the tie is straight and docile, the Windsor knot is meticulous, and the smoothness of expensive silk material is revealed under the light.

He sat on the sofa and answered the phone. Ling Jiangnian was talking to Zhuang Mei on the other side. The family of four still maintained the harmony as before.

Ling Jiangyue stood on the stairs and watched with interest. She felt that this home was now like...a wooden board with a missing corner. The missing part had been slowly patched up, but the missing corner suddenly appeared again. It was stuffed in again, and the entire board was about to be swollen and cracked, even more violently than before.

So why bring her back, tsk.

After making the call, Ling Jiangyu saw her and called her name warmly to ask her to come down.

"Jiang Yue, do you have any plans today?"

"No," she walked down slowly step by step. The white knitted skirt she changed into had ruffles at the hem. When she walked, she moved like an upside-down flower. "I don't have many friends."

Ling Jiangyu was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want to go and play with Zhuang Jie? He is very good at arranging programs. Jiang Nian happens to have something to do there, so I will send you there."

Not only is he very good at arranging things.

Anyone who is familiar with Zhuang Jie knows that he is a gamer with peculiar tastes. The place where he sits the longest is not at home but in the booths of bars and singing rooms. What he listens to most is not his parents’ teachings and the company’s business reports, but It is the free flight of the Phoenix Legend, living every day like a rich coal boss in the 80s.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ling Jiangyu would not have entrusted Zhuang Jie to Zhuang Jie if he really had no way to make his sister happy.

But Ling Jiangyue doesn't know. She thinks Zhuang Jie is quite interesting, but this arrangement——

Let her take the car with Ling Jiangnian?

She glanced at Ling Jiangnian, who was smiling opposite her. She thought of something, raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, and replied obediently: "Okay."

Zhuang Mei was still a little worried. She knew what kind of decent person her nephew could be.

But the thought of what happened in the morning must have put her in a bad mood, so she didn't stop her from going out.

The current relationship between their family is like a nest of hedgehogs staying together. The missing ten years are those invisible thorns, and no matter what, they can't get over it without incident.

After sending the three siblings away, Zhuang Mei sat in front of the mirror and looked at her face. She was so worried that she had a few more wrinkles. After hesitating, she called Mrs. Yu and asked Mrs. Yu to go shopping and have a spa together.

It’s clear to all bystanders, so let others give you some objective advice.Otherwise, she would be the only one to think about it. She has been a little emotional recently, which is not good.

On the other side, three brothers and sisters got into the car.

The silent atmosphere in the car was like a spider web, clinging to everyone's mouth that wanted to open. Each draft seemed imperfect, and the words were pushed up the throat and swallowed until the car drove out. No one made a sound for several kilometers.

Ling Jiangyue ignored the two of them and continued to lie by the car window and look out. She didn't feel at all that her behavior seemed to distance herself from Ling Jiangnian.

Ling Jiangnian probably knew that Ling Jiangyu planned to talk to them one by one, so he asked him to stop the car midway and said he was going to the supermarket to buy something.

There were only two biological brothers and sisters left in the car. Ling Jiangyu turned off the engine and spoke first: "Jiang Yue, don't blame dad for what happened this morning. He was worried about you."

"I didn't see it," she said casually. "Jiang Yue, I know you hate us."

His voice became deeper. He looked straight at the road ahead without turning his head, but he spoke in an orderly manner without any stumbling. He had probably thought about it many times in his mind.

"After you got lost, we searched for you for a long time, and my mother was very sad. But not long after, I fell ill, became emotionally disturbed, and often had nightmares. I couldn't be cured even by going to the hospital. My parents could only take care of you first. Give it to the police and go home with me.”

"After half a year, I'm still in bad condition, so they listened to the psychiatrist and planned to adopt a girl about your age to accompany me. So if you want to blame, just blame me."

Ling Jiangyue snorted and asked softly, "What about her?"

"Jiang Nian was adopted from an orphanage, and her personality and appearance are different from yours. I know the difference between you very well, and I didn't mistake her for you, nor did I forget to continue looking for you. We gave her a good life, and she acted as a healer. She is very obedient when it comes to medicine for my mental illness, and she never takes the initiative to ask us what we want..."

"Jiang Yue, don't hate her. She has no choice and will never want to replace you."

Ever since Ling Jiangyue was found, it didn't take much asking to know that people in the circle had been speculating about the Ling family's affairs.

Some people say that as an adopted daughter, she would be reluctant to lose the benefits she gets, and would take the opportunity to isolate Jiang Yue so that she could replace her. Others say that a biological daughter who has just returned is not willing to let an adopted daughter occupy the magpie's nest, and there will definitely be trouble. Drive Jiang Nian out.

But Ling Jiangyu knew Ling Jiangnian. She was not that kind of person. In fact, she was probably not feeling well during this period.

As for Jiang Yue... he didn't know how to think about it. After all, there was a gap of ten years, and he was now very unfamiliar with his eight-year-old sister.

While listening to his tirade, Ling Jiangyue breathed out against the car window and stretched out her fingers to draw a smiley face.

After he finished speaking, she looked at the gradually disappearing smile and the increasingly clear reflection on the car window, and said, "I have three answers. Do you want to hear them?"

Ling Jiangyu thought about many kinds of her reactions, and even thought about how to deal with it, even crying and scolding him, but he didn't expect this one.

The calmer it is, the more irresolvable the contradiction is.

"What?" He gave up hope, clenched the steering wheel with both hands, and calmly waited for the verdict.

"The first one is that I understand it empathetically. You have a psychological problem and you need someone to help treat it. I can't say I don't allow it and wait for you to die. Ling Jiangnian is indeed right, she just She is an adopted daughter, not an illegitimate daughter who deliberately takes my place."

"The second one is to blame you for the psychological imbalance. You can't find me, but you can raise an irrelevant girl as a comfort and train her to be a very good person, while I live the same lonely and helpless life as she did before. Now that I'm back, you still want me to live in peace and friendship with her. Don't you think it's difficult for her to force her out? I just want to drive her out, or you drive me out. It's best not to show off in front of me and show affection. "

"The third type," she continued in a faint tone, "In the years when I couldn't survive, I dreamed of someone adopting me and giving me a stable home. I didn't need to give me much food. He can also be very obedient.”

Ling Jiangyu could still listen to the first two, but when he heard the third answer, sourness and guilt instantly rushed to his throat, and his voice was trembling.

"Jiang Yue, I..."

"I still have a lot of heartfelt things to say, but I don't have any plans for the time being. After all, a harmonious relationship is beneficial to life. Brother, can you call her back and send me to play? I also want to make a lot of friends like her. Beautiful friends, listen to them praise me.”
