Tong Hui nodded. âThatâs only natural. If I can see him in person, Iâll explain everything to him.â
If? What did he mean?
I couldnât help but feel wary. He didnât want to see my little uncle? He could send a message to Tong Le, but he didnât want to? Tong Le was his younger brother!
My little uncle thought his family was wiped. He spared a fake like Tong Lin, which showed how much he still cared about family.
However, Tong Hui knew of my little uncleâs existence and what he had to go through over the years. Tong Hui avoided him and acted like Tong Le didnât exist. Why?
Was it because he was the mastermind behind the massacre of the Tong Family? Was he the reason behind my little uncleâs pain?
My heart frosted over. That had to be it. It was why they still kidnapped me even though I was his niece.
âWhy is my blood able to save your life?â I asked the question that had been lingering in my heart for a long time.
Tong Huiâs expression didnât change. âItâs because you and I are connected by blood. Youâre my biological niece.â
I scoffed. âThat is a lousy excuse. Tang Yan is your biological daughter. Her blood canât cure you even though sheâs biologically closer to you than I am.â
Tong Huiâs expression finally changed, but he quickly regained his composure. âThis poison is very strange, to begin with. There are some things that canât be explained scientifically. I can only say perhaps itâs fate.â
I was speechless. âFine, donât tell me. In any case, Iâve saved your life, and thatâs good karma for me.â I knew there was a bigger conspiracy behind this, but since he didnât want to tell me, there was nothing I could do.
Facing the table full of delicious food, I calmed down and started eating. After two lifetimes, I realized eating was my hobby. It was the most important thing for a human.
Tong Hui ate very little. Most of the time, he watched me eat. He would only take small sips from his cup. I suspected that it was a tonic made from my blood.
However, this didnât affect my appetite. I had a very abnormal and strong psychological quality.
After I was full, I leaned back on the chair in satisfaction and told him, âIâm full. Do you want anything else from me?â
His face revealed a loving smile as if he was a senior looking at a junior.
âNanxing, youâre such a genuine child. No wonder so many people like you.â
I raised my eyebrows. âDo many people like me? I donât feel that is true. Jing Tian really does like me. But your witch, Ma Ji drugged him to make sure that he canât remember me.â
I sighed lightly.
He straightened his expression. âNanxing, if he has forgotten about you, then he doesnât deserve your love. There are plenty of good men out there. You deserve better.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
I sighed. âIâm really not going to take relationship advice from you.â
He smiled. âNanxing, how old are you? Donât be anxious. In the future, youâll meet better men.â
I shrugged. I wasnât going to argue with him on this.
âNanxing, stay by uncleâs side from now on. Iâll take care of you as my own daughter,â he said seriously.
I smiled. âIâm an adult now. I donât need to be taken care of. If you want the best for me, let me go home..â
