After Grandpa's funeral, Nanxi and Nan Suzhi had a big fight.
Nan Suzhi wanted to give up the Nan family and move to Southeast Asia after liquidating the Nan family's property. Nan Xi slapped him hard and said that she would protect the Nan family even if she died, wait for the result of her father's case, wait for her father to come home, and revive the Nan family.
From that day on, Nanxi moved to an apartment and never returned to the old house.
Nan Suzhi tried to find her several times, but was turned away each time. Since business in Southeast Asia required people, he had no choice but to leave.
For half a year, no matter whether he called, sent messages or gifts, there was no response.
When Nanxi was engaged, he even thought about killing Shen Ce, but his confidant persuaded him that marriage can be arranged or cancelled, but if something goes wrong in the business, he would not even have the capital to express his feelings, so he finally endured it.
After waiting for a long time for things to stabilize over there, he rushed back without stopping, but heard that she had to eat with Shen Ce after class every day and would not return to the apartment until very late. How could he not be furious?
When Nanxi saw that it was Nan Suzhi, she looked downcast and didn't want to pay attention to him, but the people outside had obviously lost their patience.
"Luanluan, get out of the car."
"Brother, baby Xixi and I are going to have dinner, do you want to come with us?" Shen Ce raised his eyebrows in a sarcastic tone.
Nan Suzhi looked at him with sinister eyes as if he were looking at a corpse, pursed his lips, and spoke again.
"Luanluan, come home, I have something to tell you."
Nanxi raised her eyes and glanced at him. "If you're trying to persuade me to give up the Nan Family, then don't say a word."
"No, I won't say that again, Luanluan, be obedient and follow me."
Although Nanxi was still angry, she had no other relatives except her brother. After thinking about it, she reached out to open the car door.
"Xixi, you're not allowed to go." Shen Ce was anxious, "You promised to watch the game with me today."
“It’s just a ball game, watch it yourself, you’re not hemiplegic. Besides, hemiplegia doesn’t affect your eye movement.” She reached out to push Shen Ce.
"No, Xixi, I feel uncomfortable without you." Shen Ce looked at her with resentful eyes.
"I don't buy it, take it." Nanxi glared at him and pursed her lips. "My brother hasn't been back for half a year, you're almost there."
Shen Ce finally let go.
After spending half a year together, he gradually discovered that Nanxi had a temperament as gentle as water. She seemed to be non-competitive and adaptable to the situation, but it was precisely because of this that she was difficult to catch. She was close yet distant, and when she was tough, she could even wear through a stone. She would not get angry easily, but when she got angry, it was not easy to appease her.
"Go back. I'll treat you to something delicious tomorrow. By the way, remember to do what you promised me." After saying that, Nanxi closed the car door and got into the McLaren in front.
The car drove to the old house in silence.
After burning incense for grandpa, the two went to the study upstairs.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
Like her father did before, she sat on the armchair, boiled water and started to make tea. Every step was calm and composed, like orchid and bamboo. The 20-year-old Nanxi was so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off her.
After pouring the tea into the cup, Nan Suzhi pushed up his glasses, suppressing the gloom that was surging in his chest, and then he spoke slowly.
"Luanluan, it's been half a year. Even if you are extremely angry, it's time for you to calm down."
"I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed." The girl opposite took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Brother, how can you be so irresponsible? You really don't look like a man from the Nan family."
There was disappointment, heartache and loneliness in her eyes.
This look almost tore Nan Suzhi apart. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot and he gnashed his teeth.
"I'm irresponsible? Luanluan, anyone can say that to me, but you can't."
He lay on his back, closed his eyes, and calmed down for a full minute before speaking again.
"The Nan family is not my responsibility. My responsibility has always been you."
Nanxi looked at her brother who was sobbing in front of her in confusion, frowned, and there was doubt in her eyes. He knew what was going on without her saying anything.
"Before Mom passed away, she told me to protect you, Luanluan. I only promised to protect you, not anything else. The Nan family is not my responsibility."
"Nan Suzhi—" Nan Xi's eyes were sharp as knives, and her brows were knitted tightly. "Do you know what you're talking about? You're a member of the Nan family, and you were born with the mission of revitalizing the Nan family. Do you still need a promise?"
The man opposite with a sinister look sneered, poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue, opened the collar of his navy blue haute couture suit, took out his cell phone from his inner pocket, flipped through it, and then handed it to the man opposite.
"Aren't you curious about why Dad only cared about you and me since we were little? Why did he only let you go to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors and not let me go? Why did he use all the Nan family rules and teachings on you, and I only learned as much as I could? Why are there only photos of us after you were three years old at home, but no photos before that?"
Nanxi looked at the clear electronic version of the paternity test report and was a little stunned.
“But…but…”
"But the Nan family has also raised me for so many years, right?" Nan Suzhi spoke again, smiling bitterly through his tears, "That's what the Nan family owes me. Nan Zhenguo owes me two lives, and I didn't ask him to raise me."
Having said that, he just went for it.
"Nan Zhenguo didn't go to Southeast Asia ten years ago. He went there the year you were born. He didn't make his first fortune by reselling land, but by D.
My father was the leader of the gang that moved the goods under his command. He cheated and robbed his fellow gang members, and was hunted down for revenge. In order to protect him, my father was seen by the other party. Not long after he returned to China, our family was arrested.
My parents died tragically, and I narrowly escaped death. I was mixed up in a gang and was discovered by his men and sent to him. He originally wanted to kill me, but when he saw me fighting with a gang member who was more than ten years older than me and stabbing the other person, he finally kept me and let me be the knife in his hand to kill people.
Luanluan, the Nan family back then was just a hollow shell. Nan Zhenguo started from scratch, so where did he get so much clean money? He may have cleaned up his money, but that doesn't mean he was always clean.
Nanxi had calmed down, and looked at him with clear eyes for a long time without saying a word.
The things that had been suppressed in his heart for many years were finally spoken out. Nan Suzhi couldn't describe how he felt, but his emotions gradually cooled down, his rationality returned, and he suddenly felt a little scared. He loosened his tie.
"Luan...Luan...Brother, I'm not~"
"I understand." She had recovered from her shock and smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't understand the situation before and lost my temper at you. I apologize.
From now on, I will no longer blame you for not supporting the Nan family. Regarding your parents' affairs, I apologize to you on behalf of my father! "
After she finished speaking, she stood up and bowed deeply to Nan Suzhi.
"Luanluan, that's not what I meant." Nan Suzhi's slender fingertips trembled slightly. He stood up and wanted to help her, but she dodged sideways.
"Luanluan." Nan Suzhi was extremely nervous, his lips were trembling, his Adam's apple was choked, and his heart felt weak.
