Upon learning that Thousand was there, Shang Jingyang rushed over without stopping to find her. It couldnât be a coincidence, or anything else, she must be the Thousand he was looking for!
Otherwise, there would be no need for her to run away on seeing him.
"Donât cry..." Shang Jingyang held her, stroking her hair, "Brother is here."
Shang Jingyang was the only person in the Shang family she didnât dislike and actually liked.
But that family really didnât welcome her, and she couldnât stay in a home where everyone disliked her, just for Shang Jingyang.
If only he hadnât insisted on finding her.
"Thousand, what on earth is going on? Why did you disappear all those years ago? How did you become Fang Eleven? Tell me, who abducted you? I will definitely bring him to justice!"
"No need... I donât want to talk about the past anymore."
"Why?" Shang Jingyang saw the injury on her arm, was taken aback, "Letâs go, Iâll take you home first to treat the wound, Mom is at home, she will be thrilled to know you are back!"
Elevenâs expression changed, she forcefully shrugged off Shang Jingyangâs hand. "I want to go back to my own home."
"Can you bear not to see Dad, Little Snow, Jingxi, but donât you want to see Mom?"
"Sorry, the last person I want to see is her."
"Thousand?"
"I donât want to see her!" Elevenâs tears overflowed, she backed away, reluctant to be touched by him, "Donât you know anything even at this point? She is looking for me because she feels guilty, she thinks she has wronged me! Maybe all these years, she has dreams of me in her midnight reveries, itâs not because she misses me, but because she fears her own actions and feels that she should not have abandoned me alone in the amusement park back then!"
Shang Jingyangâs eyes went out of focus, "What are you saying?"
"Brother..." Elevenâs tears were uncontrollable, "I wasnât lost, nor was I abducted, I was abandoned by my own mother! For Jingxi, for her own happy life, she discarded me, the burden that had always been there!"
Shang Jingyang was shocked, his eyes widened: "Thousand, do you realize what youâre saying? How is this possible? How could Mom â"
"Itâs the truth! I heard it with my own ears!" Eleven shouted at him, "She proposed it, your father agreed in silence! The two of them knew everything, but pretended I was lost, am I right? They even hypocritically looked for me... why look for me?"
"But why... why?"
"Why? Brother, you like me, donât you? Itâs not the kind of like a brother has for his sister, right? I didnât understand that at the time, I only realized later, they were afraid, of rumors... afraid that our affair would disgrace the entire family..."
"Bastards! We have no blood ties at all! What if I love you?! Whatâs stopping us from being together?" Shang Jingyang, who was just enlightened, was furious at this moment, "Are they still human?! How could they abandon you just because of this?!"
"Wu..." Eleven squatted down and buried her face in her hands, sobbing painfully.
She had been wronged too much, these things had been in her heart for more than ten years, she believed they had been buried and would never be brought up again.
She had hidden outside the door to her room back then, listening to them argue about it for a long time.
In the end, she was the one they chose to abandon.
Shang Jingyang was stunned, he suddenly remembered, the night before Thousand disappeared, she had asked him tearfully if he could not love her. He was frozen.
