Chapter 373
Uncle gasped for breath and stopped at me. "Jian... Ning, I thought you were gone."
"Uncle, is there anything else?" I suppressed the excitement in my heart and asked lightly.
The reason why I was so excited was that I felt that my uncle cared about me. If he didn't care about me, he wouldn't have caught up with me, and he wouldn't have said that he thought I had left. But as long as I thought of what he had done just now, I couldn't face him in a normal mood.
She really didn't know how her mother would feel if she were still alive when she saw what her uncle had done.

Her uncle felt annoyed. "If you have something to say, just say it. I'll do it if I can."
"I know it might be inappropriate to say these words to you now, but your aunt wants me to come over and tell you, so I have no choice but to come over." Uncle looked at me uneasily.
"Aunt wants you to tell me something, just say it."
Uncle looked at me and saw whether I was angry or not. Seeing that I was not angry, he said, "When you were young, you lived in our house. At that time, I treated you like my own daughter. As long as you have something for Jiayi, sometimes you don't have anything for her."
"You are sensible and obedient, and you like to study. Although you don't have a father to accompany you, in my eyes, you are a good child, so I am willing to be good to you."
Listening to my uncle's recollection of the past, I felt a lump in my throat and tears welled up in my eyes.
Those beautiful memories had long been forgotten. No matter if it was me or my uncle, they could not go back. Everyone lived for themselves. Although it was not wrong to live for themselves, we had lost a lot of things.
At that time, I lived in my uncle's house. As long as my uncle got off work, he would give it to me immediately. Then I thought of Ning Jiayi. Since I was a child, I had been told that although I didn't have a father, I had the best uncle in the world.
His kindness to me also made my aunt unhappy, because these two had quarreled with each other many times, and the most serious thing was that they reconciled because of my departure.
I will never forget the happy time when I lived in my uncle's house, but what he has done now is too heartbreaking to my heart...
I wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes and said softly, "I know that there must be something wrong with my uncle when he catches up with me. Just say it. You don't have to beat around the bush. I will do what you know."
"Then I'll tell you." Uncle rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
I nodded and looked at him quietly.
Uncle still didn't dare to look at my eyes, but he had already said to me, "When your mother came to Luo City to settle down, she didn't have money to buy a house. It was me who carried your aunt..."
Before I could finish my words, my heart was already cold.
Come to think of it, the reason why my uncle caught up with me was for the sake of my mother's property. He hoped that I could give half of it to them.
Looking at my aged uncle in front of me, I couldn't say a word for a long time. After he finished speaking, he stood where he was and didn't dare to look at me. His eyes were full of nervousness and embarrassment.
"Now that I think about it, he has decided to tell me these things in person. He must have already thought of the consequences, right?"
"Uncle, there's something I haven't told you," I said.
His uncle was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Don't worry. I've thought about taking all the houses. If you want to remove the new houses, you can also have your own houses, but at least give us some compensation, right? You know Aunt's character."
I was upset and blurted out, "If I told you that my mother's death was not an accident, but caused by Callen and his wife, would you still let Jiayi continue to be with him?"
When his uncle heard this, he was stunned.
Seeing him like this, I was even more confused. I felt that I shouldn't have said it out so directly, which made him feel uncomfortable.
But what could I do? Should I wait for Callen to use all his means to turn our family into a plate of loose sand?
Uncle didn't say anything. After waiting for a long time, he asked me, "Now we have to pay attention to evidence. Do you have any evidence? Besides, didn't your mother's car accident count as an accident? Jian'an, you can't be resentful because of the relationship between Jiayi and Callen!"
"Do I hate you?" I was confused.
"You are the only one who knows whether there is resentment or not. Even if Callen really has something to do with that matter, the law will punish him freely. You don't need to guess or slander him here, do you understand?" His uncle told me seriously.
I didn't react at first, but when I digested this sentence and understood the meaning of the words, I laughed. In my uncle's eyes, I was just making wild guesses in order to destroy the relationship between Callen and Ning Jiayi?
The sadness in my heart could no longer be described with words. I could only answer perfunctorily, "We'll talk about the house later when we have the chance. I have to go first."
"I know you don't want to give us a share, but Callen has just said that he will help us in the lawsuit. At that time, if the lawsuit really starts, you will lose more!" His uncle said to me seriously with a straight face.
Looking at my uncle in front of me, I couldn't believe that he had begun to say these words to me before falling out or fighting.
Did he really forget that my deceased mother was his biological sister?
"Uncle, I call you uncle because you're my mother's brother. Don't you feel guilty when you hear me call you uncle?" I asked with a wry smile.
His uncle didn't answer me. He looked away and said, "That's it. We'll leave the rest to Callen. I hope you can take care of yourself."
After that, his uncle turned around and strode away.
I stood there and looked at my uncle's disappearing figure. 1 didn't know what I was thinking.
Because of my uncle's words, I was not in the mood to deal with other things, so I forgot that Harrison said that he would wait for me at the gate of the community.
"Didn't you say you're uncomfortable?" Harrison got out of the car and looked me up and down.
I turned my head and didn't look at him. I didn't want him to see my red and swollen eyes. I forced a smile and answered him, "I got a call and asked me to go to the bank." "It's already eight o'clock, which bank is getting off work so late?" Harrison asked softly.
I looked at the time subconsciously. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, but I didn't notice it at all.
Harrison's tone was faint, but I still understood that he was a little angry.
I sighed wearily and hugged him. "Can you not do anything for me now and let me hold you for a while?” I said, feeling wronged.
Harrison's body moved. I was worried that he would refuse to tighten his grip on his hand. He said uneasily, "Just hold me for a while, just a while."
As my voice fell, he finally did not move and let me hold him.
