Chapter 194 Handing Over Your Childhood to You

Not only Lu Heng noticed this, but Lu Yi also discovered it.

One has to admit that they care about this little sister a lot, although they have never said it out loud and don't know how to express their concern, but they will occasionally think of the little girl who follows them around.

Anran became the carrier of all their emotions.

After discovering that An Ran had gradually become an alien with the same pathological thinking as them, they realized that perhaps the way they thought they were treating An Ran well had always been wrong.

The people who caused this mistake were Lu Zhong and Bai Yujin.

Growing up in a heartless and loveless family, their personalities became distorted. They clearly wanted their sister to become strong, but unknowingly twisted her into the same kind of person.

As a result, Lu Heng and Lu Yi coincidentally became an alliance - to overthrow the Lu family and destroy the Lu family.

Only Lu Heng and Lu Yi knew about these things, and they didn't even tell their younger brother Duan Jingyao.

It doesn't matter. With Hengyi Group handed over to Duan Jingyao for management, they can focus on how to get An Ran back from the Meng family.

…

In the dark and damp little house, Duan Xi put on a mask and a baseball cap, and put on a windbreaker on the outside, wrapping himself tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, before going out.

He turned left and right in the alley and walked into a small supermarket. He took out a few buckets of instant noodles and two packs of sausages as if he knew the place well. When he paid, he threw a fifty-yuan bill on the counter.

The boss was stunned for a moment. Few people paid with paper money these days. Without thinking much, he gave the change and put everything in a plastic bag.

"Thank you." Duan Xi deliberately lowered his voice when thanking him. If he didn't say anything and covered his face tightly, it would be more likely to arouse suspicion.

She stepped out of the door with her bag in hand, but at that moment she heard the voice of a short video on the supermarket owner's phone: [The century-old Lu Group declared bankruptcy today. Chairman Lu Zhong was sentenced to prison for intentional injury. President Lu Heng established a new company, Hengyi Group, with Duan Jingyao as president...]

Duan Xi's eyes were stunned and his steps suddenly stopped.

Lu's... went bankrupt?

Duan Jingyao was also recognized by Lu Heng and became the president of the new group?

Mist filled Duan Xi's eyes. Her plan... finally came to a successful conclusion!

Mom, brother, sister-in-law, you can rest in peace!

The emotions that had been suppressed for more than thirty years found an outlet here. The heavy stone in his heart turned to ashes. Duan Xi could no longer hold it in and squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

The supermarket owner heard the crying and walked out in confusion. He hesitated for a long time and was about to go up to comfort the other person, but he saw the other person suddenly stand up, wipe away his tears, and stride forward.

After Duan Xi returned to the shabby house, he ate all the instant noodles and sausages he had just bought, like a revenge diet, until he felt nauseous at the mere smell of them.

She took out a thick envelope from under her pillow, found all her documents in the cabinet, and stuffed them all into her backpack.

Then, he turned on his phone and called Meng Anran.

Unexpectedly, the call was connected quickly, as if the other end had anticipated her call.

"Your revenge ends here."

A cold and calm voice came from the receiver. Duan Xi took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said, "Meng Anran, let's meet."

"You're a wanted criminal now. How dare I meet you in private?"

"I will avenge your mother's child swapping."

Meng Anran's eyes froze for a moment, and she asked, "Where did you meet?"

"The cafe in front of the police station."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Duan Xi picked up his backpack and left his hiding place. When he passed by a trash can, he threw his phone into it.

Every step she took was easy. In thirty years, she had never felt the sky so blue, the air so fresh, and the wind so free.

An hour later, Duan Xi arrived at the coffee shop diagonally opposite the police station. Meng Anran was sitting in the corner, sipping coffee elegantly. She still had that calm look on her face, as if even the sky falling wouldn't scare her in the slightest.

The eldest lady's temperament is indeed incomparable to others.

Duan Xi glared at her for a long time, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. She had pretended to be a wealthy lady for so many years, but in the end she was no match for Meng Anran.

She walked over and sat down in front of Meng Anran.

Meng Anran put down the coffee cup, glanced at her backpack, and then looked away calmly, "Why did you ask me out? What do you want to say?"

"I have a favor to ask of you." Duan Xi stopped beating around the bush. Since she was about to go in, she didn't want to beat around the bush.

She opened her backpack, took out a thick envelope, and pushed it in front of Meng Anran, her eyes earnest: "Please help me pass this to Jingyao."

Meng Anran stared at the envelope for a while and asked, "What's this?"

Duan Xi lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly, but his eyes were moist, "This is my last gift to him."

Seeing her sincere and sentimental look, Meng Anran picked up the envelope and took out the contents.

It’s a photo, a photo of Duan Jingyao when he was a child.

It records Duan Jingyao's growth and his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

There were scenes of him crying loudly, of him squinting his eyes because of the cold ice cream, and of him going on stage to receive the award for winning a competition in elementary school.

Among so many photos, all of them are photos of Duan Jingyao alone, and Duan Xi's figure can never be seen.

Meng Anran's eyes moved slightly, and she stuffed all the photos back into the envelope.

Duan Xi probably guessed this would happen, or perhaps it was all part of her plan. She knew full well that Duan Jingyao might hate her, so she never showed her face in any of the photos.

The last gift she prepared for Duan Jingyao was to give him back his childhood after he returned to the Lu family.

"I'll pass it on to you." Meng Anran simply promised.

"Thank you." Duan Xi's smile had never been so sincere. She didn't stay any longer, picked up her bag and left.

Meng Anran watched Duan Xi's back.

After leaving the coffee shop, the figure crossed the street and went straight into the police station. Every step he took was so firm and yet so easy.

Meng Anran suddenly recalled what she had said when she and Qin Mu were huddled together in Lihuayuan to watch Meng Yushu's new movie - there are no absolutely bad people in this world.

Duan Xi has done all kinds of bad things. Everyone thinks that Duan Jingyao is just a chess piece of Duan Xi, and will be abandoned once he loses his usefulness.

Who knows, for Duan Xi, Duan Jingyao was the only relative she had by her side during those years?

She probably really treated Duan Jingyao as her own child.

Meng Anran glanced at the envelope at hand, then picked up her phone and called Duan Jingyao.

"Duan Xi turned herself in. She asked me to hand over your childhood to you."
