Chapter 260 This necklace is returned to its original owner
When Jiang Yan heard this, his face was filled with disbelief.
The heart felt more like it had been cut open in an instant, and there was intense pain.
The truth behind this actually hurt his heart far more than he thought.
He thought that his parents' indifference to him over the years was entirely because they were still brooding over his brother's death.
But I never thought that he was not their child at all!
And the meaning of his existence has always been to protect his brother from disaster?
Jiang Kaitong noticed that Jiang Yan's face had turned pale, but he continued: "But how could we have imagined it! We adopted you back, but in the end, A Cheng was killed by you!"
Xiao Lan stood aside in silence, as if he didn't know what he could say at this time.
But looking at Xiao Lan's reaction, Jiang Yan was certain that what Jiang Kaitong said was true.
"So Jiang Yan, let me tell you, you owe something to our Jiang family! You owe A Cheng, you owe us!" Jiang Kai said confidently.
Jiang Yan's eyes turned red little by little.
He moved his mouth a few times, but found that his throat was tight and he couldn't say a word.
In the end, he left the Jiang family without saying anything.
Li Xiao found Jiang Yan next to Jiang Cheng's tombstone.
Jiang Yan sat there motionless, his eyes empty as if his soul had been taken away.
Li Xiao felt uncomfortable looking at him like this.
She walked forward slowly and called softly: "Jiang Yan?"
Nothing happens.
Li Xiao had no choice but to kneel down in front of him, and his voice was still very soft: "What's wrong with you?"
"Go back, I don't want to see anyone now." Jiang Yan changed his sitting position, leaving his back to Li Xiao.
"Okay, then I won't disturb you, I'll wait for you nearby." Li Xiao didn't bother him anymore, but consciously stepped aside.
The sky was gray.
After a while, it actually started to snow.
It's October.
This is the first snow of the year.
Li Xiao couldn't help but think of the first time she met him that year.
However, he should have forgotten it a long time ago, right?
But he would never know that one of his unintentional actions had pulled her back from the edge of the abyss.
Li Xiao looked at his depressed back, walked forward unconsciously, and said, "Jiang Yan, let me show you something."
Jiang Yan ignored it. He probably wasn't interested in anything at this moment.
Li Xiao came directly to him and took out something from his pocket.
She handed such a thing to Jiang Yan.
When Jiang Yan saw this necklace, he was clearly stunned.
"This necklace...why is it here with you?"
After the necklace was lost, Jiang Yan searched for it for a long time, but to no avail.
I didn't expect that I would come back to him in this way today.
"A few years ago, you rescued a little girl abroad, do you still remember?" Li Xiao smiled lightly.
Only then did Jiang Yan remember that there was indeed such a thing.
He quickly thought of something and looked at Li Xiao in surprise: "Are you...that girl?"
"Yeah." Li Xiao nodded lightly.
Jiang Yan fell into silence, sighing a little at the fate arranged by fate.
Some people you think are your closest relatives, but you never expect that they are just being used.
And some people, you thought it was just a one-time encounter, but later they became an indispensable part of your life.
Li Xiao saw that Jiang Yan's mood seemed to be better, so she sat down next to him and asked, "Do you remember? It also snowed so heavily that day. I was chased by a group of people and almost
I was captured and sold by these people. Thanks to you, I escaped."
Her parents divorced many years ago.
After the divorce, her mother took her abroad.
But after going abroad, my mother seemed to be a completely different person, and she got into many bad habits, including gambling.
Because she owed a lot of gambling debt, she actually wanted her to sell herself to pay off the debt.
Of course she couldn't accept such a result and ran away.
Then I met Jiang Yan.
Since then, she has completely severed ties with her mother.
Now, she is alone.
"This necklace was accidentally dropped when you rescued me that day. I later wanted to return it to you, but I didn't know where to find you. Later, I saw news about you in the newspaper, and I
Only then did I realize that you are such an excellent architect."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he put the necklace into his hand: "This necklace returns to its original owner."
Jiang Yan held the necklace tightly: "This necklace seems to have been hanging on my neck since I can remember. I don't know if it was put on me by someone in the orphanage, or
…”
His adoptive parents.
However, this necklace looks quite expensive.
It's not like Jiang Kaitong and the others gave it to him specially.
Li Xiao was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say? Orphanage? What orphanage?"
Jiang Yan once again thought of the truth Jiang Kaitong told him, and there was a flash of pain in his eyes.
But for some pains, mentioning them once is enough.
He didn't want to mention it again.
Li Xiao saw this and said, "If you don't want to say it, then we won't say it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiao sneezed gorgeously.
It's snowing.
The temperature has definitely gotten a little cooler.
Especially on this mountain, it is definitely more freezing.
When Jiang Yan saw this scene, he couldn't help but frowned: "You go back first."
"I won't go back." Li Xiao said stubbornly, "Unless you come with me."
Jiang Yan was always helpless by her: "I said you are..."
"If you don't leave, then I will stay here with you and freeze into a snowman together." Li Xiao was obviously very cold, and he was already holding his arms.
Jiang Yan noticed her small movement and finally stood up as if resigned to his fate.
But he had already stood up, but Li Xiao was still sitting there.
He was a little confused: "Come on, why are you still sitting there?"
"Why don't you give me a hand?" Li Xiao looked at him with a half-smile, with a hint of cunning glinting in his eyes.
"Can't you stand up by yourself?" Jiang Yan turned away calmly: "I won't help you."
Even if he had a chance encounter with Li Xiao, it did not mean that the relationship between the two people would suddenly become closer.
Moreover, he is a bit dull and conservative when it comes to interacting with women.
If it wasn't his girlfriend, he would definitely keep a certain distance.
"Are you a bit of a gentleman? Give me a hand?" Seeing that he didn't move, Li Xiao took the initiative to hold his hand.
Jiang Yan seemed to be electrocuted and wanted to throw her hand away: "Hey, what are you doing! Don't move your hands or feet!"
Li Xiao just wanted to tease him.
Especially his anxious look is really cute.
But it may be because Jiang Yan didn't stand firm when the two people were pulling.
He suddenly fell down and happened to have Li Xiao pinned under him.
