"After Miss Luo and I were captured, only death awaited us."
Looking back on those years, he still remembers being wrapped in a body bag and thrown into a hearse bound for the crematorium. The old man still remembers that scene.
"They didn't kill us right away. They wanted to send Miss Luo and me to the crematorium to burn us alive, and then...then grind us to dust in front of Young Master Li!"
The old man suddenly became excited, and his eyes turned frighteningly red.
Ji Zhinan quickly held the old man's hand: "Grandpa..."
Feeling the warmth from my palm, seeing the child with eyes and eyebrows so similar to Miss Luo...
The old man slowly calmed down and continued, "Fortunately, Miss Luo was smart. She killed the people who transported us to the crematorium and then took me away."
"Then, Miss Luo found out she was pregnant. You were already over three months pregnant. Luckily, you were past the critical period by then, and you were very determined. Even after going through that situation, you still stayed in Miss Luo's belly."
"After that, in order to give birth to you safely, Miss Luo and I fled for a year, moving from place to place and hiding our identities."
“…”
It turns out that this is what happened that year.
Throwing a living person into an incinerator and turning his bones into ashes, how cruel must one be to do such a cruel thing.
"Where's my father?" Ji Zhinan asked, "Didn't you say my father is the heir to the Warrens family? Why didn't he come to see you?"
"After successfully escaping, Miss Luo and I have been keeping an eye on the Warrens family. After Young Master Li returned, a civil war broke out within the family. We don't know the details of what happened, but I heard that the young master of the Warrens family died in the gunfight..."
Ji Zhinan was stunned.
"After you turned one hundred days old, Miss Luo suddenly told me she wanted to take you away. She gave me two cards and a jade pendant."
"Miss Luo said this black card must not be used. She deposited all the money she gave us on another card. She said: Uncle Ji, we are so sorry for you. We ruined your peaceful and comfortable life. This card is what Brother Yuan and I have always wanted to give you. Thank you for your care. I also deposited some money in it. Please take good care of Nannan for me and let her live a simple but peaceful life."
Mr. Ji remembered Miss Luo's instructions to him clearly over the years and did not dare to forget a single word.
I still remember that she said it in a nonchalant manner.
"You can see this is the life Brother Yuan and I live in. Something could happen at any moment. This pit is filthy, blood and corpses are everywhere beneath our feet. I don't want his daughter and I to live like this."
You're not from our world. They won't notice you, and they won't know Nannan exists. Please take her away. I touched the black card, and those people will come looking for me soon. If I survive this, I'll come looking for you. If I'm gone, please keep this secret. If possible, I hope my daughter never knows I exist.
Old Master Ji spoke slowly, word by word, and tears started streaming down his face without him noticing.
"I've been waiting for her for twenty years, but she still hasn't come to find you. She loves you so much, how could she bear to leave you to an old man like me..."
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and every word her grandfather said lingered in her ears, as if played on a tape recorder.
