Nanxi had no idea that he had called her in just to say this. She stood there for more than ten seconds, drank a sip of water to calm herself down, and then slowly spoke.
"Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but I cannot accept it."
Su Junchi lowered his head and smiled, "Xixi, I know you are not mentally prepared and it is difficult for you to accept it for a while, but I hope you won't reject me so quickly. Listen to my reasons and think about it carefully, okay?"
Nanxi lowered her eyes, bent her fingers uncomfortably, thought for a moment, and nodded softly.
After all, he was my mother's first love. On the day before their wedding, my father snatched away his bride. He lived a childless and unmarried life, guarding only the memories. It was quite pitiful to think about it. I still had to give him the respect he deserved.
Su Junchi saw her nod and took a deep breath.
"First, I really like your mother and I can't let her go for the rest of my life. I want to adopt you as my daughter, which can make up for the regrets between me and her.
Second, although I don't know why you came to Las Vegas, it is probably for the business left by your father. It is not easy for a girl like you to work hard in the workplace. If you become my daughter, all the connections and property I have worked hard for in my life will be given to you as you like. With my protection, you will definitely live a peaceful, smooth, happy and healthy life.
When you have children in the future, I will help you take care of them. You can go and experience the beauty of life, and I will help you deal with all the storms.
Third, you have no parents, how can you survive without anyone to protect you? Even if you get married in the future, you still need to have a family to rely on, so that your husband's family won't bully you, right? If you become my daughter, Su Junchi, no one in this world will dare to bully you.
Every word he said was for her consideration and was sincere and heartfelt. Nanxi was sensitive to people's emotions and she could feel Su Junchi's sincerity.
Humans are not plants or trees, so she was still a little moved. However, being moved could not affect her emotions.
"Uncle, thank you for considering me. I'm really touched. You must be a very good person. That's why Mom fell in love with you when she was just beginning to feel affection. As her daughter, I also feel sorry for your love. However, some things are over and over, and people still have to look forward.
I can feel your sincerity in what you just said, but I cannot agree to it. However, I am still willing to interact with you in the future, just as an ordinary friend. As for acknowledging your relationship, I will not consider it. "
Su Junchi didn't expect that even after he had said so much, this silly girl would still refuse.
The man opposite smiled and lowered his head. "Xixi, you really are as pure and innocent as Yun'er. Do you know how much property your uncle has? Do you know what kind of power you can gain as my daughter?"
A flash of coldness flashed across Nanxi's eyes, and she put down the water cup.
"Uncle, I am the daughter of Nan Zhenguo. From a young age, I have been taught by the great teachers of Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, and Parents. I know what it means for a gentleman to love wealth and to earn it in a proper way. My father may be a controversial figure in the eyes of family and friends, but he has taught me the ways of a gentleman since I was young.
I don't care who he is, but at least he hopes that his children will be good people. He is dead, but that doesn't mean that I can deny or betray him. He is where I come from and gave me the best education and life. I don't lack fatherly love. The fatherly love he gave me may be different from that of others, but for me, it is enough.
As for power, first of all, the property he left me is enough to ensure that I have food and clothing for the rest of my life, and I will always have a way out. Secondly, my husband is a man of integrity. He is my hero and will protect me for the rest of my life. I have no greed for power.
In summary, I lack nothing, whether spiritually or materially. I don't need anything or anyone in this world."
Su Junchi looked at the familiar little girl opposite him, and his thoughts seemed to go back to that rainy night many years ago.
His beloved girl cried and asked him, "Why? Su Junchi, I didn't force you to promise anything. I don't have to have anything in this world. Why did you do this?"
The young man stood in the heavy rain and smiled bitterly, "In order to be worthy of you, Yun'er, I have no money or power, what can I use to marry you? I can't even ask my teacher to marry you. I can't even step into your house with my patched cloth shoes, I worry about whether I will dirty the carpet. If my rough cloth clothes touch your leather sofa, my first reaction is not whether it is soft, but whether it will be dirty.
Yun'er, I love you and want you so much that I'm going crazy. For you, I can betray my soul."
Snap——
Even today, many years later, every time I think of that slap filled with disappointment, the sound still seems to echo in my ears, and the chilling pain is still clear.
"Su Junchi, you disappoint me so much. You can betray your soul, but I won't spend my life with someone who will do anything to achieve his goal. Let's just leave it at that..."
Her back as she left was so resolute, she didn't even look back at him who looked embarrassed.
Yun'er, his Yun'er...
Just like that, he lost the love of his life...
"Uncle... Uncle..." Nanxi looked at his increasingly worse complexion, remembering that he seemed to have some kind of mental illness, and frowned as she called out a few times.
Su Junchi's thoughts were awakened, and he drank a sip of water to calm down.
"Xixi, you just said you have a husband?"
He had checked her information and there was no record of her being married.
Nanxi nodded.
"What does your husband do?" Su Junchi continued to ask.
"He—" Nanxi paused, "He's a businessman."
The man opposite her was no ordinary man and understood that she didn't want to say it.
Who is Nan Zhenguo? How could he let his daughter marry an ordinary man? Xixi's husband must have been carefully selected by him. His identity might not be simple, otherwise no information about him would be found.
This is good, at least she has someone to protect her, and judging from her appearance, the man should be nice to her.
"Uncle, I should go back."
Nan Xirun looked at the man opposite her, not wanting to continue this topic.
Su Junchi nodded, "Okay, Xixi, uncle won't force you. All the promises I made to you today will always count. No matter what happens to you, you can come to me."
"Thank you, uncle." She smiled politely.
"Next week is my birthday. If you haven't left yet, can you come over and celebrate your uncle's birthday?" Su Jun looked at her with his dark eyes, with a bit of expectation. Time seemed to be particularly partial to this man. At the age of knowing the destiny, he still had an outstanding temperament. His eyes, which had been hurt by love, were full of sadness, which made people suddenly unable to bear to refuse him.
"Okay, uncle, if I'm still here, I'll definitely come over. If I'm gone, the birthday present will be delivered on time. Happy birthday to you in advance."
Su Junchi's elegant face finally broke out into a joyful smile. "Thank you, thank you, Xixi. This is the only sincere birthday blessing without any distractions I have ever heard in my life. It is so precious to me."
