After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

She looked at Jiang Hengzhi again, wondering if it belonged to someone else in the Jiang family.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible. Jiang Hengzhi didn't seem to have a close relationship with the Jiang family. Otherwise, why wasn't there their contact information in the address book?

Thinking of this, she squatted down, took out the mobile phone from Jiang Hengzhi's pocket, unlocked it with facial recognition, and opened the address book.

The contact information pinned at the top is hers, with the note: Dearest sister [love heart].

Her eyes froze for a moment, and she continued to scroll down, seeing the contact information of other members of the Jiang family, but the notes given to them were too distant.

For example, the patriarch of the Jiang family is Jiang Congyun, with the note: Mr. Jiang, the Jiang Yan and his wife are Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Zhiyi is just a simple name.

No wonder the tavern owner couldn’t find the contact information of other members of the Jiang family. With just this note, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack among hundreds of numbers. How could she find his family?

From this perspective, it is even less likely that the password of this lock is related to the Jiang family.

Suddenly remembering something, she quickly stood up and entered "0116" on the door lock.

Still not open.

She looked at Jiang Hengzhi. Didn't he go to the bar and get drunk every year on this day?

Then why isn't the door lock code today's date?

She squatted down and looked at him seriously. "So, the password is not your birthday, nor the day you got yourself drunk. What is it?"

"Yes..." Jiang Hengzhi hummed twice, but in the end he didn't say any useful information.

"You're pretty tight-lipped. If I didn't know you, I would just throw you out the door and forget about it."

She said, and stood up again. It wasn't her birthday, could it be...

She turned around and carefully entered a string of numbers on the door lock. She was obviously a little nervous before pressing the confirmation button. She glanced at Jiang Hengzhi and her finger fell.

With a "click", the door opened.

It’s… 0210, her birthday.

Jiang Hengzhi used her birthday as the password?

She squatted down, helped him up with mixed feelings, walked in, and through the entrance hall, she asked: "Which room do you live in?"

Seeing that Jiang Hengzhi didn't respond, she patted him again, "Wake up, if you don't tell me, I'll throw you on the sofa to sleep all night, and I guarantee you'll have a sore back tomorrow when you wake up."

Jiang Hengzhi frowned and tried to open his eyes, "No, I won't sleep on the sofa."

"Then tell me where is your bedroom?"

"In..." He raised his hand and pointed to a room. Lu Nanfeng helped him walk over, settled the person down, and came out to pour him a glass of water. But when he went back, he found that the door of a bedroom that was originally closed was opened.

She put down the cup and looked inside. She saw Jiang Hengzhi lying on the bed, holding a teddy bear in his arms, murmuring, "Don't be afraid, Xiaofeng. Brother is here. Brother will protect you..."

For just a moment, Lu Nanfeng was stunned.

She looked at Jiang Hengzhi curled up on the bed, and at the teddy bear in his arms, and her memory seemed to be pulled back to the past.

Only then did she notice that the decoration of the entire bedroom was so similar to when she was in Jiang's house.

Her heart trembled slightly, and she walked in. Each step she took was extremely heavy.

The familiar bookcase, the familiar desk, the familiar bed sheets and quilts...it seemed as if everything was pulling her over.

Although she knew clearly that this was not the Jiang family, the scenes at the Jiang family still emerged in her mind unconsciously.

She was writing on the desk, Jiang Hengzhi was sitting on the carpet beside her reading a book, she was drawing, Jiang Hengzhi was her model...

Those memories that had been covered in dust for so long that they were almost blurred, at this moment, became extremely clear.

She seemed to know what day it was.

Eighteen years ago today, she was sunk into the sea.

January 16th is the anniversary of her death.

She looked at Jiang Hengzhi lying on the bed. So every year on this day, he would go to the bar and get drunk to commemorate her?

In the past, there was pain in his eyes every year, but only this year did he feel relaxed. Was it because he knew she was still alive?

Her eyes suddenly became moist. She had never remembered this day before.

Because since she sank into the sea, she has been struggling on the brink of death every time, and every day she has been close to despair.

Jiang Hengzhi was still murmuring, patting the teddy bear's back, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.

Lu Nanfeng remembered the bear. She had saved up money for a long time to buy it. It was originally a pair.

The one Jiang Hengzhi was holding at the moment was hers, wearing a pink skirt, and the other one was wearing blue overalls, not in this room, so I guess it should be in his bedroom.

This bedroom brought back too many memories. Lu Nanfeng didn't want to stay here any longer. She left the bedroom and closed the door. Then the phone rang. It was Shen Yunzhou calling.

"Nannan, are you not off work yet? Do you want me to pick you up?"

Lu Nanfeng tried hard to calm down, but when he spoke, his voice still had a tearful tone, "No need."

Shen Yunzhou frowned slightly when he heard something strange. "Where are you? What's wrong with you?"

Tears kept falling down, and Lu Nanfeng couldn't wipe them away. He could only say, "I'm downstairs, at Jiang Heng's house."

Although she used the calmest tone, the tremor in her voice and the cry in her voice still revealed everything.

This kind of deliberately suppressed emotion makes people feel more distressed.

"wait for me."

After saying this, Shen Yunzhou didn't even bother to change his shoes. He opened the door and ran out. He didn't take the elevator, but went directly through the emergency passage.

After ringing the doorbell, he waited anxiously outside.

When the door was opened and he saw Lu Nanfeng's red eyes, his heart was in knots.

He raised his hand to wipe away her tears, and then carefully held her face, "Did Jiang Hengzhi bully you?"

When Lu Nanfeng heard the name Jiang Hengzhi, he couldn't stop crying.

Shen Yunzhou felt even more distressed, "Don't cry, I'll settle the score with him right away."

He wiped her tears again and was about to rush in, but was stopped by Lu Nanfeng, "It's not him."

Shen Yunzhou paused, and he held Lu Nanfeng's hand, "Nannan, tell me, who is it?"

This was not the first time he saw Lu Nanfeng cry, but it was the first time he saw her cry so hard.

His heart was in a knot, and he felt a piercing pain. He looked at her and wanted to teach the person who bullied her a lesson.

Lu Nanfeng stopped crying and said, "Come with me."

She took Shen Yunzhou's hand and came to the door of the bedroom where Jiang Hengzhi was lying. She slowed down her voice and said, "When I was a child, I lived in a bedroom decorated like this."

His eyes moved down to the doll in Jiang Hengzhi's arms, "And that teddy bear, I saved up money for a long time to buy it."

Shen Yunzhou vaguely understood something. He looked down at her, and she said, "Yunzhou, do you know? Today is January 16th. If I had not been lucky enough, I might have become a... cold corpse eighteen years ago."
