The Jiang family members looked at the cardboard box and felt unhappy.

Ruan Meng held his numb face in his hands and watched this scene. His heart sank. He could clearly feel that the love the Jiang family had for him was gradually withdrawing. How could this be?

How could this happen?

If the Jiang family no longer loves him and no longer takes him seriously, can he continue to stay in the Jiang family?

Jiang Jingcheng was about to fire his parents in front of him, so he would certainly not be lenient towards him.

If he is kicked out of the Jiang family, he will have to...

Ruan Meng tilted her head to look at her biological parents who were wailing and cursing, exuding the air of a petty bourgeois, and her brows immediately frowned.

No, even if these two people were his biological parents, he couldn't bear to live with such low-character parents in the future!

He is going to debut as a top artist. Once any bad behavior of these two people is exposed by netizens, all of it will be black material against him!

What's more, he has had no feelings for Zhuang Xiaohui and Ruan Jianguo over the years. In his heart, the people who are more like his parents are Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang.

Ruan Meng had thought in her heart more than once that if he was Jiang family's biological child, then everything would be perfect.

Jiang Xu doesn't fit in with this family, but he fits in perfectly and fills the vacancy of the youngest son.

But why did they suddenly start to like Jiang Xu?

The feelings that I have built up with him over the years can be taken back just like that, and given to Jiang Xu just like that. Then what is he?

What does Ruan Meng mean to the entire Jiang family? Is he just an emotional comfort?

When they feel that Jiang Xu has become better, they will take back the love they have given him and pour it back into Jiang Xu. In their hearts, is he just a pet that can be thrown away at will?

The more Ruan Meng thought about it, the more he couldn't accept it. His breathing became rapid and his brain began to work rapidly, trying to stop what was about to happen.

"Hiss..." He touched his red and swollen face, sniffed aggrievedly, and walked towards the Jiang family.

"It hurts... Aunt Jiang, do I look ugly now?"

Before he touched Shen Aiqing's hand, Shen Aiqing covered her mouth and walked towards the cardboard box, sobbing.

"These... these are the birthday gifts that Ah Xu has given us over the years?"

Obviously, Shen Aiqing had no place in his heart for Ruan Meng at this moment.

Perhaps it was the blood relationship that made her think that Jiang Xu was the child she gave birth to after ten months of hard work. If they had lived in harmony over the years, her biological son would have been her most beloved child.

A child who perfectly inherited her acting genes, who is smart, outstanding, and independent, and can make a name for himself in the entertainment industry without any help from his family.

But why does she push children like this further away and treat other people's children as treasures?

Shen Aiqing's tears flowed harder and harder as she tried to open the box to check the gifts she had missed over the years.

She couldn't open it, so Jiang Jingcheng strode to the nurse's station and asked for a pair of scissors. He opened the two cartons and saw a pile of small cartons of different sizes, all carefully and neatly packed.

Each paper box comes with an envelope or cardboard, and the handwriting has evolved from childish to mature.

But when Jiang Jingcheng flipped through it, he found that no matter how mature the handwriting was, it only dated back to the third year of junior high school.

The gift boxes at the bottom of the box were all faded, and some had even lost their glue. The same was true for the packaging bags, which went from being wrinkled and messy to being skillfully wrapped layer by layer.

Jiang Jingcheng stared at them in a daze for a long time. He seemed to see a small figure in front of him. It lowered its head and clumsily but seriously wrapped each gift with exquisite cardboard, and then worked hard to wrap it with ribbons and tie bows.

He suddenly remembered some past events, events from a very long time ago.

It was probably when Jiang Xu and Ruan Meng were ten years old.

Ruan Meng, who learned how to give gifts in his teacher's class, gave a carefully drawn painting as a birthday gift to Shen Aiqing, the first person in the family to celebrate his birthday every year.

Shen Aiqing was extremely happy to receive the gift, and she hugged Ruan Meng affectionately. They were also gathered on the sofa in the living room at the time, happy together, and even joked about being jealous, saying that Ruan Meng was only thinking about Shen Aiqing and didn't remember them.

At that time, he and Jiang Jingyou saw Jiang Xu hiding in the corner watching them through the glass cabinet behind the sofa.

He said nothing, just frowned and looked away.

Jiang Jingyou turned his head and made a fierce look at Jiang Xu. Seeing that Jiang Xu was hiding behind the wall and was about to move forward, he walked over aggressively.

At that time, his parents' attention was all on Ruan Meng. He thought that he should not make a big deal out of things on such a happy day, so he turned around and stared at Jiang Jingyou's movements.

Then, Jiang Jingcheng heard Jiang Jingyou warning Jiang Xu fiercely.

"You still dare to come here? Have you forgotten how I pushed Meng Meng onto the lawn last time? You are not welcome here, get out now!"

Things that had been completely forgotten suddenly became extremely clear in his mind. Every bad word spoken was like the sound of the tide hitting the river bank, echoing back and forth in Jiang Jingcheng's ears and lingering for a long time.

Jiang Jingcheng felt a terrible headache, and he felt that somewhere deep in his heart he was suffering even greater pain.

But so what?

He felt so painful just realizing his mistake, what about Jiang Xu who had endured it for so many years?

Even though they treated Jiang Xu unfairly, the little Jiang Xu still tried to get close to them.

When Jiang Xu was driven away by Jiang Jingyou, he had his hands behind his back, and his little palm should be holding the first gift he prepared.

Every year after that, on the family’s birthdays, Jiang Xu was just a bystander watching from afar, like an outsider, watching Ruan Meng and their family having fun.

Is there a gift that cannot be given hidden behind every moment?

If they didn't celebrate his birthday at home, Jiang Xu wouldn't even have the chance to watch from afar.

Jiang Jingcheng took a deep breath. The overwhelming guilt almost swallowed him up, making it hard to breathe.

Shen Aiqing, who was standing next to him and saw all these details, had already burst into tears. She covered her heart and knelt down beside the cardboard box, crying and feeling regretful, with a note in her hand.

That was written when Jiang Xu sealed these gifts.

'No one wants my gifts, and I will never give gifts to anyone again.'

The yellowed paper and the dried-up words that were smudged were spread out in front of them, passing through many years.

Let them realize that Jiang Xu, who once longed for family love and affection, was sealed in this box forever along with these gifts.

Never to be seen again, never to be found again.

Listening to the crying behind him, Ruan Meng could hardly make any expression. He knew that at this moment, Jiang Jingcheng and Shen Aiqing's hearts had already leaned towards Jiang Xu.

But so what? No, not everyone will stand on Jiang Xu's side. What is there to like about him?

And there is Jiang Jingyou, Jiang Jingyou likes him the most.

As long as he approached him actively, Jiang Jingyou would never refuse. When he was young, Jiang Jingyou hated to see him being bullied the most, and he would be the first to rush up and fight when others bullied him.

The most important thing is that Jiang Jingyou can’t possibly like Jiang Xu, he hates Jiang Xu the most!

"Brother Jingyou..." Ruan Meng turned around and walked towards Jiang Jingyou who was sitting in a wheelchair, "Brother Jingyou, you won't be like them, right?"

He squatted in front of the wheelchair and looked up at Jiang Jingyou. His cheeks were a little more swollen than before and his eyes were filled with tears, but he didn't look pitiful at all, which only made people feel funny.

In fact, Jiang Jingyou didn’t know what attitude to use towards Ruan Meng.

Originally, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that Mengmeng was too panicked after seeing him get into trouble, so she was only concerned with pushing the blame onto Jiang Xu.

It was not until the farce in the hospital unfolded that he realized that the Ruan Meng he had always thought of was not who he had imagined.

For example, Ruan Meng actually dislikes Jiang Xu very much, and thinks that Jiang Xu has no good qualities and is not worthy of being liked, but she always speaks well of Jiang Xu when they express their dislike for him.

After all, he has been acting for so many years and is still dealing with all kinds of people in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Jingyou certainly knew how to call someone who said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, but he never expected that Mengmeng, who he thought was simple and well-behaved, would be such a person.

But now, compared to this, Jiang Jingyou wants to know something else.

He raised his eyes to look at Ruan Meng, "When did you start to like Si Yanli?"
