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

Her tone was calm, but Shen Yunzhou's heart was in a knot. He remembered what she once said: There are many unfortunate people, and we are just one of them.

So, Nan Nan’s misfortune was far more tragic than he had imagined?

Lu Nanfeng raised her eyes and met Shen Yunzhou's gaze. The pain in his eyes seemed to have no end, which made her distracted for a moment.

"There are some things I wanted to tell you after everything is over, but now I suddenly feel it is unnecessary."

She paused, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "I was too greedy before. I always wondered, if you knew my past and uncovered those beautiful illusions, would you still like someone like me like before?"

"But after meeting Jiang Heng, I suddenly felt that there was no need to wait until everything was over. Perhaps now is the best time."

She looked at Shen Yunzhou and said, "We should get to know each other again. My original name was Jiangnan Feng."

Shen Yunzhou's heart sank. Although he had guessed her background long ago, he was still moved when he heard her say it herself.

What was the past of the Jiang family's daughter who died young like?

His heart was bleeding and the pain in his eyes was about to overflow. He didn't know what he should do, so he just held her hand and listened carefully.

Lu Nanfeng looked at Jiang Hengzhi lying on the bed, "When I was five years old, grandpa offended someone, and Jiang Hengzhi and I were tied up on the deck by the kidnappers. They asked grandpa to choose between the two, and grandpa chose Jiang Hengzhi and abandoned me."

She retracted her gaze and looked at Shen Yunzhou, a smile on her lips, "Yunzhou, I am a person without a childhood. Because my childhood was spent on the road of dying and struggling."

"Nannan..." Shen Yunzhou's voice was a little hoarse. He raised his hand to touch her cheek. Lu Nanfeng smiled and held his hand, "Come with me."

Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, she looked back at the bedroom. The door was open. She was not sure whether Jiang Hengzhi would wake up in the middle of the night, but it would be okay if he woke up. She could just say everything she wanted to say at once without any effort.

She continued, "I was tied to a rock and sunk into the sea. I was doomed, but for some reason, they pulled me out just before I died. Seeing that I was still breathing, they probably thought I wasn't going to die, so they brought me back to life."

"Later they sold me to human traffickers, and I managed to escape..."

She recounted the story of how she escaped from the human traffickers' den, was caught again, and was sold to northern Myanmar. When she talked about Li Chen, her voice choked up a little, "If it weren't for him, I might have died in a foreign country, and now I'd be just a pile of bones."

"It was he who brought me to the Lu family, and I became Lu Nanfeng. I was eleven years old that year, and for the first time I knew what it felt like to be loved."

Whether it was Li Chen, grandparents, or her brother, they all loved her very much...

Shen Yunzhou could hear the strange emotions in her voice when she mentioned Li Chen. Although he knew it was wrong, he still felt depressed.

"Then... Li Chen, what happened later?"

The smile on Lu Nanfeng's face disappeared, as if all her strength was drained away in an instant. After a long silence, she finally spoke, "He died in battle on the land of a neighboring country."

Shen Yunzhou was obviously a little surprised to hear this answer. His heart sank suddenly and his face was full of apology. "I'm sorry, I didn't know... He is a hero."

His words sounded a bit heavy. Lu Nanfeng lowered his eyes and said, "He is indeed a hero. He saved many people."

But until his death, his parents still resented him.

Her heart ached. After five years, she still couldn't accept his leaving.

"He must be very important to you."

He used an affirmative tone, and Lu Nanfeng nodded, "It is indeed very important."

She let out a long breath and continued, "He once promised me that he would come back to see me, but he broke his promise. He never came back once."

"Until I was eighteen years old, I finally asked my grandfather for a wish to go to Yangcheng to see him, but he stayed on the battlefield forever and didn't even give me a chance to see him."

She looked at Shen Yunzhou and said calmly, "This is my entire story. I have seen murder, bloody violence, filth and promiscuity. I have fought with dogs for food and was locked in a cage like livestock. Do you still like me like this?"

Shen Yunzhou embraced her in his arms without hesitation. He held her tightly, "Nannan, you've suffered so much in the past. I will stay with you from now on and will never let anyone bully you again! No one can do that!"

He emphasized the last two sentences. Lu Nanfeng didn't expect that someone as gentle as Shen Yunzhou would say such cruel words. However, she didn't refute and just said, "Okay."

He did not give up on her because of her shameful past, he just hugged her tighter.

Maybe everything will turn out for the better.

At this moment, Jiang Hengzhi was lying in the room with his eyes closed, but his pillow had already been wet with tears.

He was thirsty and wanted to get some water. He heard their voices in a daze and slowly regained consciousness.

He finally knew what happened after Xiaofeng sank into the sea.

He never thought that there would be so many twists and turns before she became Lu Nanfeng.

She was just a child at that time. How did she survive such an experience step by step?

How ridiculous! Every time she was on the verge of life and death, he was enjoying a comfortable life in the Jiang family and receiving the best education.

He is not qualified to be her brother.

He hugged the teddy bear in his arms tightly, tears falling silently. Mr. Jiang, who had always been smart and capable, was now crying.

Jiang Hengzhi didn't know when he fell asleep, he just felt a severe headache. He kept enduring it, and then he knew nothing.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

The scene of last night repeated over and over in his mind. He sat up suddenly and went to the living room, but it was empty.

I think they left last night.

He felt a little disappointed and originally wanted to go and thank Lu Nanfeng in person for sending him back last night.

But he stood there for a long time and still couldn't muster up the courage.

He wanted to protect her and be good to her, but to her, wasn't all he did a burden?

Perhaps, the best he could do was to try not to show up and disturb her life.

She was what she was before, and she should be what she is in the future.

Taking out his cell phone, he pretended to be nothing, typed a thank you message, and clicked send.

At this time, Lu Nanfeng was sitting at the table eating breakfast.

"Ding dong~"

The text message alert sounded. It was from Jiang Hengzhi. She clicked it and saw the following message: Xiaofeng, I'm sorry. I drank too much last night. Thank you for sending me back.
