Chapter 398 She just didn't come back

Jiang Zhan's room is in the corner of the top floor. It is also a suite with a small study outside. In the study, there is a long table and a vintage bookshelf.

On the small shelf on the table are transparent bottles of various natural pigments, some of which are in the original appearance of minerals.

Jiang Xuxu doesn't know much about pigments. At a glance, he can only recognize cinnabar, coral, and lapis lazuli.

The sun is shining outside the window, and the sun shines on half of the room.

The reason why it is half is because his curtains are half covered.

He stands on the clear dividing line between light and shadow to paint.

The painting is in the light, and he is in the shadow.

This is the scene that Jiang Xuxu saw when he walked in.

Perhaps Bai Zhu relieved his physical pain and aroused his interest. At this moment, he stared at the canvas with a heavy look in his eyes, but his hands moved casually, sketching out a few small fishes in a few strokes.

Jiang Xuxu stood aside and waited for a while. Seeing that he was still slowly painting the small fishes and had no intention of stopping, he asked him directly,

"Who made your substitute boy for you?"

Jiang Zhan paused for a moment when painting the fish, and then changed his pen to add color to his small fish, as if he had not heard anything just now.

Jiang Xuxu continued,

"I know you didn't tell the truth just now, and you don't want to talk about this in front of your family, so I came to ask you alone."

It was mainly because the second uncle was too annoying.

If she had asked in front of the family, she was afraid that the man would suddenly interrupt and educate his son before she could ask carefully, which would be useless and delay things.

Jiang Xuxu thought that if she asked alone, he should be able to reveal something.

But Jiang Zhan only glanced at her sideways, finally put down his little fish, but walked to the side and started to fiddle with his paint.

At this time, the advantages of being a mute are reflected.

When he doesn't want to speak, he can be justified in not speaking.

Jiang Xuxu didn't understand, but she could see that the other party's eyes looking at her were not malicious, and there was no targeting and impatience like Jiang Han and Jiang Cheng at the beginning.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xuxu simply poked him with words,

"No matter who made the substitute boy for you, the other party allowed you to use the substitute boy to ward off evil, which is obviously irresponsible. If you come into contact with the other party in the future, you'd better be more careful."

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Xuxu said this, Jiang Zhan finally stopped all his movements, turned around, his expression was slightly gloomy, and his hands gestured to her very quickly.

Jiang Xuxu looked at him righteously, "I don't understand sign language, you type it."

Jiang Zhan glanced at her, but still picked up the phone, tapped it, and then stared at Jiang Xuxu closely.

[She is not irresponsible. ]

You can't say that to her.

"She? Who is it?"

Jiang Xuxu successfully got him to speak, and naturally would not give up asking.

Jiang Zhan was looking at her and typing.

[You really want to know?]

Jiang Xuxu was about to open her mouth when she saw that he had already typed the next sentence.

[I won’t tell you.]

Jiang Xuxu:...

Is this cousin playing tricks on her?

But looking at his expressionless face, it really doesn’t seem like that.

Jiang Xuxu wanted to ask more, but he put down his phone and said nothing.

If he said he wouldn’t tell, then he wouldn’t tell.

Jiang Xuxu couldn’t do anything about him for a while.

If it was Jiang Han and the others, she could still use some "tricks".

But she didn't think she would have to do that with Jiang Zhan.

Let’s not tell.

Jiang Xuxu turned around and was about to leave, but when she reached the door, she suddenly heard a mechanical electronic sound coming from behind her.

[Do you know why my parents divorced? 】

Jiang Xuxu thought he was just curious and wanted to know the reason. She did know the reason, but she was not sure whether to tell him.

After all, the inside story was quite disgusting .

Before Jiang Xuxu could figure out the result, she heard Jiang Zhan speak again.

【I know why.】

Jiang Xuxu was startled and met Jiang Zhan's slightly gloomy eyes. With just one glance, she knew that he really knew the inside story.

But who told him?

She thought it couldn't be a family member.

In addition to a few people involved in this matter, only Old Man Jiang knew the inside story. Even Old Lady Jiang didn't tell it, and Jiang Han and the others didn't know about it.

Then who said it?

It can't be the second uncle himself?

"How did you know?" Jiang Xuxu asked him.

Jiang Zhan smiled.

There was some sarcasm in that smile.

He didn't type, but raised his hand, raised two fingers, and pointed them at his eyes.

Jiang Xuxu was startled.

She didn't understand sign language, but she understood this gesture.

He... saw it with his own eyes.

Jiang Xuxu thought it was a bit absurd.

In addition to the last time in Taipei, could it be that Yao Lin had done something else out of the ordinary?

But if she had done it, how come no one in the Jiang family noticed it? ?

Suddenly, she remembered what she had heard about Jiang Zhan before.

He and his biological mother Yao Lin had not been close since childhood.

Old lady Jiang asked him to come back before, but he refused. After Yao Lin went abroad, he came back on his own initiative.

"When did you know?"

Jiang Zhan seemed to think that her calm look was a bit boring, so he lowered his head and typed quickly.

[Probably, four years old. ]

Even though Jiang Xuxu acted calm, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Four years old?

But on second thought, boys are naturally precocious. Although they are in poor health, they are smarter than ordinary people. Even if Yao Lin did something and was discovered by him, it seems reasonable.

However, Jiang Xuxu felt a little disgusted.

Not towards Jiang Zhan, but towards Yao Lin.

What did she do to make her four-year-old son discover her dirty thoughts.

In fact, Jiang Xuxu overestimated.

Yao Lin didn't dare to do anything bold, let alone in front of her son.

It was just that Jiang Zhan saw it by accident.

Jiang Zhan was four years old that year, and his younger brother Jiang Han was one year old and had just learned to speak.

Yao Lin held the family photo, pointed at Jiang Yucheng's photo and teased him to call "Dad".

She thought Jiang Han was still young, and no one would care even if she called the wrong person.

But it could satisfy her little wish.

Jiang Zhan vaguely understood it at that time.

Although he was always taken care of by his aunt at that time, he was not completely without feelings for Yao Lin, his biological mother.

But after that incident, his feelings for his biological mother completely cooled down.

And as he got older, he felt more and more disgusted with his biological mother's thoughts.

That was his uncle. He

was also the husband of his aunt who had always taken care of him.

So how could he come back to see her off.

Although he was young at that time, he already understood shame.

He even didn't know how to face his aunt for a while.

But before he could figure out how to face it, his aunt had disappeared.

Because his aunt's daughter was stolen, his aunt somehow caught up with the gang, but accidentally fell into the sea and disappeared.

The rescue team only recovered a small part of his aunt's human tissue.

They all said she was dead.

Jiang Zhan felt that the whole world had darkened at that time.

Compared with the blow brought to him by his own mother, the departure of his aunt was even more unacceptable to him.

So when Jiang Xuxu said that the man was irresponsible just now, he refuted.

She is not irresponsible.

She just couldn't come back.
