"My aunt called me and asked for 30,000 yuan, but when I asked her what she wanted to do with it, she didn't want to tell me." Ning Xi said after putting down the phone.

When he heard that it was related to Ning Lan, Qin Yan frowned.

Putting the Chinese medicine bag on the table beside him, Qin Yan thought about it and decided to tell Ning Lan about selling the house.

"Ning Xi, there is something I want to tell you. It's about your aunt."

"what?"

Qin Yan walked over to her and sat down next to her: "Your aunt wants to sell the house and has already found several agents, but I asked the agents to hold it and not put it up for sale."

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then his expression darkened.

"Is it because of Zhao Kailin?"

"Yeah." Qin Yan explained to her: "I was worried that Zhao Kailin would bring you some danger, so after your aunt was discharged from the hospital, I asked someone to follow her all the time, and then I found out that she was planning to sell the house. Although she didn't explain it, I think it was because of Zhao Kailin.

In fact, the police had already found Zhao Kailin's whereabouts. She did appear near the hospital that day, but then she suddenly disappeared.

The police are still investigating, but as long as the person is not caught, it is a dangerous factor, and I don’t want you to be in danger.”

Ning Xi looked up at him, unable to tell how he felt about Ning Lan's actions. He just felt extremely disappointed and helpless, but then calmed down.

Qin Yan raised his hand and gently held her face, "Don't worry, I won't let her hurt you."

Ning Xi curled the corner of his mouth slightly, "I'm not worried about this, I just don't know whether I should stop my aunt from doing that."

Ning Xi rubbed his warm palm subconsciously.

She was as well-behaved as a kitten, which made Qin Yan's heart beat fast.

He reached out and pulled her towards him, picking her up and placing her on his lap.

Ning Xi froze for a moment, then her face turned red again, and she said quickly: "No, colds are really contagious!"

Qin Yan looked at her shy and anxious look and smiled again, "Don't worry, I won't kiss you!"

Ning Xi: “…” (=???) His old face turned red~

"Well, I have something else to tell you."

Looking at her little face which was like a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite, Qin Yan quickly looked away and continued.

Ning Xi looked at him, waiting for what to say next.

"I have looked up some things about your aunt before, and found out that she bought this house with the money left by your mother, and the resettlement fee was about 50,000 yuan." Qin Yan said.

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment. She really didn't know about this.

When she was adopted by Ning Lan, she was only five or six years old and was still an ignorant little girl, but her sister was already in her teens and understood a lot.

"Also, all these years, including the tuition for you and your sister's schooling, were all inherited from your mother. Your aunt... just took care of you and gave you a place to stay."

Qin Yan knew that telling her these things would undoubtedly be like stabbing a knife in her heart, making her feel even more uncomfortable.

However, he didn't want Ning Lan to continue to use the grace of raising her to threaten her and morally blackmail her.

Sometimes, a short pain is worse than a long one.

Ning Xi moved her lips, but her blocked throat made it impossible for her to utter a word.

She lowered her eyes, feeling uncomfortable and stuffy in her heart.

She didn't blame Qin Yan for telling her these things, but she found that the more she knew, the more it proved that her previous guess was correct.

Ning Lan was not really sincere towards them, and her kindness to them was not from the bottom of her heart that she loved the two sisters.

Yes, in fact, if you think about it carefully, Ning Lan seemed to be very good to them during those years. She even left the Zhao family for them and abandoned her two children. But every time the Zhao family made trouble for them, they would scold them for being a burden and saying that their parents deserved to die.

Ning Lan would just cry aside, and then apologize to them afterwards, saying that she was useless and failed to protect them, and then hugged them and cried together.

It is also because this kind of thing happened so often that she and her sister felt that their aunt was very weak and pitiful and that they wanted to protect her.

So, she secretly learned Muay Thai, and then, whenever Zhao Haicheng caused trouble for her aunt, she would stand up for her aunt. At first, she couldn't win, and every time she was beaten by Zhao Haicheng, she would be injured all over. At that time, her aunt would only hug her and cry, and could not do anything else.

In order not to cause trouble and burden to my aunt, my sister went to work after graduating from high school. Later, in order to make more money, she married my brother-in-law who drove a truck.

Otherwise, with my sister's grades, she would definitely be able to get into a good university and have a completely different life.

Now, when she realized that this might all be a scam, she suddenly didn't know how to accept this fact.

Tears fell one by one and landed on Qin Yan's arms around her waist.

Qin Yan's heart tightened, and he quickly hugged her and said, "Ning Xi... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this to you, I'm sorry."

He hurriedly helped her wipe the tears from her face, but her tears were like a dam bursting and could not be stopped.

"Ning Xi..."

"I, I..." She choked, not knowing how to describe her feelings at the moment.

Sad? Sad? Angry?

In the end, everything turned into powerlessness and confusion.

She was powerless to change what had happened in the past, powerless to change her sister's life, and powerless to change the fact that she had already left!

What's even more confusing is, if Ning Lan didn't like them, why did she adopt them? Why did she lie to them for so many years?!

Qin Yan felt so distressed that he could only kiss her tear-soaked face and eyes, saying over and over again: "Ning Xi, you have me in the future, I am here for you..."

It took a long time for Ning Xi to calm down.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't..." Qin Yan felt guilty. He regretted saying this to her, even though he knew that she cared very much about her family relationship with Ning Lan.

Otherwise, with her strong character, why would she be so sad?

It's just because I care too much that I get hurt so deeply.

As for Ning Lan's problem, he could solve it with just a flick of his finger, without making her feel so uncomfortable.

"No, I don't blame you." Ning Xi took a breath, calmed down the last bit of sadness and said: "Thank you for telling me this. Although my sister is gone, at least I won't be deceived for the rest of my life. I also understand why she could so easily choose to protect her two children, even without distinguishing right from wrong."

Ning Xi looked at him without any intention of blaming him.

Even as she said, she should thank him for telling her so much and letting her see the truth.

"I am sad because I found out too late and failed to protect the people who are really important to me."

That person was her sister Ning Yue.

Qin Yan understood what she meant and just hugged her again, "We can't change the past, but fortunately, we can still do other things.

Shuo Shuo is still by your side, just take good care of him, your sister will be happy when she knows it."
