Jiang Zhan's room is located in the corner of the top floor. It is also a suite with a small study outside. In the study, there is a retro bookshelf and a long table.
On the small shelf on the table are transparent bottles filled with various natural pigments, some of which are still in their original mineral form.
Jiang Xuxu didn't know much about pigments. At a glance, he could only recognize the common ones such as cinnabar, coral, and lapis lazuli.
It was sunny outside the window, and the sunlight just covered half of the room.
The reason it was half was because his curtains were half closed.
He painted right on the clear dividing line between light and shadow.
The painting is in the light, and he is in the shadow.
This was the scene Jiang Xuxu saw when he walked in.
Perhaps it was the white atractylodes that relieved his physical pain and aroused his interest. At this moment, he stared at the canvas with a serious look in his eyes, but his hands moved casually, and he sketched a few small fish with just a few strokes.
Jiang Xuxu stood aside and waited for a while. Seeing that he was still slowly drawing the fish and had no intention of stopping, he asked him directly,
"Who helped you to be your substitute boy?"
The tip of Jiang Zhan's pen paused for a moment as he was drawing the fish, then he changed his pen and added color to his little fish, as if he hadn't heard anything just now.
Jiang Xuxu then continued,
"I know you didn't tell the truth just now. You don't want to talk about this in front of your family, so I came to ask you alone."
The main reason is that my second uncle is so annoying.
If she had asked in front of her family just now, I'm afraid that before she could ask in detail, the other person would suddenly interrupt and educate her son, which would be useless and would only delay things.
Jiang Xuxu thought that if she asked him privately, he would probably be able to reveal something.
But Jiang Zhan just glanced at her sideways, finally put down his little fish, walked to the side, and started fiddling with his paint.
At times like this, the advantages of being a mute come into play.
When he doesn't want to talk, he can just keep silent.
Jiang Xuxu didn't understand, but she could see that there was no malice in the other person's eyes when he looked at her, nor was there the same kind of targeting and impatience that Jiang Han and Jiang Cheng had initially shown.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xuxu simply poked him with words.
"No matter who made the substitute boy for you, it is obviously irresponsible for the other party to allow you to use the substitute boy to ward off evil. 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 slightly gloomy, and gestured towards her with his hands very quickly.
Jiang Xuxu looked at him confidently, "I don't understand sign language, please type it."
Jiang Zhan glanced at her, but still picked up the phone, tapped it, and then stared at Jiang Xuxu.
She is not irresponsible.
You can't say that about her.
"who is she?"
Jiang Xuxu successfully got him to talk, so naturally he would not give up asking further questions.
Jiang Zhan just looked at her and typed.
【You really want to know? 】
Just as Jiang Xuxu was about to open his mouth, he saw that his next sentence had already been typed out.
【I won’t tell you.】
Jiang Xuxu: ...
Is this cousin playing tricks on her?
But looking at his expressionless face, it doesn't seem like that.
Jiang Xuxu wanted to ask more questions, but he put down his phone and stopped talking.
If you say you won’t tell, then you won’t tell.
Jiang Xuxu couldn't do anything to him for a while.
If it were Jiang Han and the others, she could still use some "tricks".
But she didn't think that was the case for Jiang Zhan.
Just don’t say it.
Jiang Xuxu turned around and was about to leave, but when he reached the door, he suddenly heard a mechanical electronic sound coming from behind him.
【Do you know why my parents divorced? 】
Jiang Xuxu thought he was simply 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 is quite disgusting
Before Jiang Xuxu could come to a conclusion, he heard Jiang Zhan speak again.
I know why.
Jiang Xuxu was startled and met Jiang Zhan's slightly gloomy eyes. At one glance, she knew that he really knew the inside story.
But who told him?
She thought it couldn't be a family member.
Apart from a few parties involved in this matter, only Mr. Jiang knew the inside story. Even Mrs. Jiang was not told about it, so Jiang Han and the others were even less aware of it.
Who said that?
It can't be Second Uncle himself?
"How do 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 stunned.
She didn't understand sign language, but she understood this gesture.
He saw it...with his own eyes.
Jiang Xuxu felt it was a bit ridiculous.
Apart from the last time in Taipei City, has Yao Lin done anything else out of line?
But if she did, how come no one in the Jiang family noticed?
Suddenly, she remembered what she had heard about Jiang Zhan before.
He and his biological mother Yao Lin have 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 that?"
Jiang Zhan seemed to find her calmness a little boring, so he lowered his head and typed quickly.
[About four years old.]
Even though Jiang Xuxu appeared to be calm, he couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment.
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 that was noticed by him, it seems reasonable.
