"I am not sure. My parents said that Yaoyao was left in the mountains. She would have died if they did not find her that day." Jiang Jie shook his head. "Some people are bad parents. They wanted their children to die in the mountains. If they had wanted them to live, they would have left them by the roadside so that some kind-hearted soul could take care of the child. They would not have abandoned them in the mountains where no one would find them."
Lu Xingzhi did not say anything else. He felt terrible for his wife after he heard Jiang Jie's words.
Whether it was the Sun family or Madam Cheng, there had to be a reason why they looked so similar.
Jiang Jie stood there and watched as Lu Xingzhi walked away. He stood in the distance for a while, in the cold wind. Then he sighed helplessly. He felt sad for his sister because he knew her biological parents had abandoned her in the mountains. That was why he had always taken care of her when she was a child.
Jiang Jie could not comprehend why someone would abandon his sister and even wished for her death in the mountains.
"Eldest Brother..."
Jiang Jie was ready to return when Jiang Lei appeared out of nowhere and said, "I heard what you said to Lu Xingzhi. Did Mom and Dad really adopt Yaoyao?"
Jiang Jie's eyebrows twitched when he saw Jiang Lei emerge out of nowhere. "Pretend you heard nothing; don't let Yaoyao know about this. She is smarter than you, and if she finds out, then Mom, Dad, and even Lun Xhingzhi will punish you."
Jiang Lei nodded. "Fine, I won't say anything." Then, he asked again, "What about me? Did Mom and Dad get me from the mountains too?"
