"Yes, the one with black-rimmed glasses, long hair, looks quite refined!" Shen Congling nodded, "Looks quite like a woman from a good family!" This content belongs to novel{f}ire.net
"Are you talking about Zhou Yiqing?" Ji Niandong was somewhat surprised.
"I don’t know what the name is, nor do I want to know!" Shen Congling waved her hand, "How about this, next time I see him... I’ll let you know?"
She was somewhat cautious, ever since she had caused trouble last time, she had become much more restrained.
Ji Niandong suddenly grabbed her hand, finding it very hot, Shen Congling quickly distanced herself, "Sister Tongtong, I swear to the heavens, I truly am not sure where my brother is. Besides, I absolutely haven’t leaked Big Sun’s whereabouts!"
She raised three fingers with her other hand, seeming quite sincere.
"I’m not here to talk about that!" Ji Niandong stared at her without blinking, "Lingling, do you know why I had a car accident five years ago?"
Shen Congling finally breathed a sigh of relief, putting her hand down and asking, "Sister Tongtong, why ask that all of a sudden?"
"I don’t even remember the car accident myself, don’t you find that strange?" Ji Niandong’s expression was becoming more unsettling.
Shen Congling scratched her head, "I really don’t know much! You know that back then I was preparing for the college entrance exams, our school had a closed-off senior year, I barely went home. I only found out later on that you had a car accident, I heard you were bedridden for half a year, it’s been almost six years now, I truly don’t know."
Shen Congling slapped her own thigh, "Because of this matter, I couldn’t stand my brother, you know it was during my college exams, then you were bedridden for half a year before telling me, and you said you were afraid to affect my studies, I was completely done!"
"However!" She looked at Ji Niandong with concern, "I heard you were badly hurt at the time. When I went to see you in the hospital, you were still in a coma! Though you were bedridden for half a year without injuries, it took quite a while for you to wake up, and you should remember what happened when you did, right?"
Of course, she remembered, waking up to see her dad by the hospital bed, then calling Shen Congjun to come over.
Later on, she learned she’d been lying in bed for almost a year...
Eventually, because Shen Congjun took care of her every day, she accepted his confession!
"Then why has no one ever mentioned the person responsible?" Ji Niandong suddenly asked faintly.
"It was said the culprit took you back and gave a huge amount... of money!" Shen Congling said, hastily covering her mouth on the last sentence, looking at her face with hesitation and said, "The money you spent in the hospital, you and Uncle Ji didn’t work for five years afterwards... it was with that money!"
Her voice grew smaller and she was almost shaking.
Dad drank heavily, always with good liquor, mortgaged the house, and when she awoke, the house was stable, Dad wasn’t working, yet kept her at home.
Life was unaffected in the slightest!
Ji Niandong snorted coldly, "Now I get it all! I was surprised why your brother bought a house suddenly, obviously he always said he didn’t earn much, promising to buy a house and marry me with money, it turns out it was my life that paid for it?"
Shen Congling’s legs went weak, nearly kneeling from the chair, "Sister Tongtong, I truly didn’t know, I overheard him and Linda talking and that’s how I found out he used your money! Sister Tongtong, I swear, I will earn money and pay you back in the future!"
"So that’s why you started hating your brother!" Ji Niandong smiled slightly, "So it all has its reasons, I thought in those days I lost in sleep, I missed too many things!"
