After listening to what the old lady said, a thought flashed through Gu Nan's mind.
The mystery that seemed to have been entangled for many years was solved instantly.
The original owner had a knot that had been building up for many years but never had the courage to ask, fearing that the answer she would get was the last thing she wanted to hear.
Why did her uncle send her away so suddenly?
In her heart, her uncle is a man who values love and justice, and is willing to give up fame, fortune, career and even his own life for his family.
If his uncle hadn't been so upright and upright, Gu Tingjun wouldn't have taken advantage of him and occupied the magpie's nest.
When she was a child, her uncle often told her that as long as he had a mouthful of food to eat, he must keep her by his side to take care of her.
So when he was seven years old, he suddenly stopped wanting her, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to a young child.
But the original owner was a very kind and filial child at heart, and she was always grateful to her uncle for taking care of her.
Since the original owner made money by hacking, she would often send money to Nanyuan County, but she never had the courage to visit her most missed relatives in person.
Maybe there was too much darkness in her life, and her uncle's family was the only light left in her past life. She was afraid that this light would be extinguished after they met.

3pm
Two figures walked into the alley. One of them was as skinny as a stick. Because he was too thin, his face was severely out of shape. There were a pair of empty, dark eyes on his high forehead.
He walked extremely slowly, his breathing was rough and hoarse, and he was often accompanied by severe coughing.
Next to the man was a fair and handsome young man. The young man was wearing a very shabby school uniform. He supported the man beside him, lowered his head slightly, and always paid attention to the situation under his feet.
The young man said with some complaints: "The doctor said that the medicine must be taken. You don't have to worry about money. I still have a lot of living expenses last month. I don't need to take money from home this month. You can't stop taking the medicine."
The man gasped twice: "Don't listen to that doctor. He just wants the patient to spend more money. It doesn't make any difference whether I take the medicine or not. You are just growing up, so don't save on living expenses."
,cough cough..."
After saying this, the man's breathing became messy and he gasped for breath for a while.
The young man beside him hurriedly patted him on the back, his stubborn eyes glowing red.
"Don't worry about me. You must take the medicine. I will go home and get the money to buy the medicine."
The man glared at the boy angrily: "I said you can't go if you don't buy it."
The two people were arguing endlessly, and a figure walked over.
Feeling someone staring at them, the man turned his head and looked at the other person.
At this sight, those dim eyes suddenly froze.
Seeing his father's strange expression, the young man also looked at the girl standing in front of them.
The girl in front of me has snow-white skin, a tall figure, and a very good-looking appearance.
Ye Fan thought to himself that he had never seen such a beautiful girl.
"You are..." Ye Haisheng's lips trembled slightly, and there was a hint of vibrato in his voice.
"Uncle." Gu Nan said softly.
The sound of "uncle" made Ye Haisheng's tears fall down instantly like a dam bursting.
He opened his mouth and was filled with excitement, but for a long time he couldn't call out the child he cared about every day.
"Nan Yi, you are Nan Yi, my child, why are you here?"
Ye Fan frowned and looked at Gu Nan again.
She is the daughter of my aunt, his cousin Gu Nanyi?
Ye Fan is two years younger than Gu Nan, and he was only five years old when Gu Nan was picked up by Gu Tingjun.
The two siblings have been close friends since childhood. On the day Gu Nan was picked up, Ye Fan chased the car for a long distance.
He cried and shouted at the top of his lungs while running, hoping that his sister in the car could hear him, that the car would stop, that his sister would get out of the car, run to him, and then follow him home.
However, his legs were numb and sore. He fell and got up, then fell again. He tried his best to catch up, but the car got further and further away from him until it completely disappeared from his eyes.
At that moment, I felt like an abandoned puppy. I might never see my sister again in this life.
This memory is still deep in my mind even now.
I heard from my father that my sister was taken back by her father.
When he was a child, he had resented her for abandoning them to go to the big city to enjoy life. Later, when he grew up and watched his father lose weight and his condition became more and more serious, he occasionally thought that maybe it was the right choice for his sister to leave at that time.
.
There is no future in this family. Every day when he opens his eyes, he has to worry about money.
His father's monthly medical expenses were more than 3,000 yuan. He proposed to drop out of school and work outside, but his father rejected him many times.
When the breadwinner of the family falls ill, there is no source of income at all.
It feels like this family is struggling on the edge of despair every day, with no end in sight.
Gu Nan followed Ye Haisheng, and Ye Fan and his son returned home.
Although the house is dilapidated, it is very clean inside.
The Ye family once had its glory. Ye Haisheng was not only a businessman, but he was also a well-educated scholar.
Even if the family is in decline at this time, his living habits are difficult to change.
Entering the living room of the main house, Ye Fan helped Ye Haisheng sit down, and Ye Haisheng hurriedly asked Ye Fan to make tea.
Ye Fan glanced at Gu Nan, nodded silently and went to the kitchen.
Gu Nan stood in the room and looked around with cold eyes.
The furnishings in the house are still the same as in childhood memories.
"Nan Yi, sit down and rest for a while."
As soon as Gu Nan withdrew his gaze, he walked to an empty chair nearby and sat down.
"Are you sick?"
The smile at the corner of Ye Haisheng's mouth froze: "It's an old problem, it's nothing serious."
"I'm not the ignorant kid I was back then." Gu Nan's eyes were deep.
Ye Haisheng immediately understood the meaning of her words.
After he was diagnosed with lung cancer that year, he made a difficult decision to send Nan Yi back to Tingjun.
This family is already riddled with holes. Ye Fan is his son. He will accept whatever hardships the father and son will have in the future.
But Nan Yi is the child that her sister gave her life for, and she shouldn't suffer this fate along with him.
Therefore, he finally reluctantly sent her away.
At that time, he thought to himself that even though Gu Tingjun was a scumbag and had tiger poison but could not eat its seeds, he would not embarrass the child too much.
"Nuyi, how have you been...in these years?"
"It's okay." Gu Nan replied lightly.
Let the past things go by him and there is no need to mention them all the time.
The words "It's okay" made Ye Haisheng feel endless pain. He wanted to ask if she had been wronged by following Gu Tingjun.
But then he thought again, Nan Yi didn't want to say anything. If he asked, it would be like exposing someone's wounds, so he finally held back.
Ye Haisheng stood up holding on to the armrest of the sofa.
Gu Nan immediately stood up and took two steps forward to support him.
Ye Haisheng smiled weakly: "This body is really useless."
The two came to the bedroom, and Ye Haisheng took out a wooden box from the closet.
The box was still locked. He fumbled for a key from the closet, opened the wooden box, and took out a passbook with a blue cover.
"I still keep all the money you mailed to my house in the past two years. Without your contact information, I once called Gu Tingjun. Haha, he is now a prestigious boss in Pingcheng. He has long forgotten my poor relative.
, I immediately hung up the phone as soon as I heard it was him.”
After finishing his words, Ye Haisheng raised his eyes and looked at Gu Nan.
"I can't find you, so I can only help you keep the money first, and I think I will give the money to you after I contact you."
