My love-brained brothers spoil me to the skies

The decoration in the room was extremely luxurious, with various works of art hanging on the walls. It was obvious that this was where noble ladies usually gathered.

The bodyguard brought Nangong Jin to the woman and said respectfully, "Master, the person has been brought here!"

The woman just hummed and looked up, motioning them to leave.

Nangong Jin showed no other emotions on his face, and asked calmly, "Why did you call me here?"

The woman frowned and sneered, scolding: "Who told you to stand and talk to your elders? It's so rude!"

Nangong Jin was also a little angry when he heard her implication: "You are right, no one has taught me since I was a child. Since we haven't been in touch for such a long time, why did you show up again today?"

The old woman was embarrassed by Nangong Jin's sharp tongue.

She had a cold face and took out a document from the side and put it on the table.

"Sign this!"

Nangong Jin was almost laughing at this woman. She had never seen such a shameless person in her life, and this person was actually her grandmother!

"I won't sign, I want to go home!"

Nangong Jin turned around forcefully and walked out. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard a woman's threatening words from behind her.

"Nangong Jin, if you dare to walk out of this door, I will send your mother to jail, do you believe it?"

After hearing this, Nangong Jin's hands trembled, her face became solemn, and her fingers clasped the door handle tightly.

She took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and turned towards her with great reluctance.

"What did you say?!"

The woman seemed to have expected her to come back. She raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of contempt, and pointed at the documents on the table in a domineering manner.

"Sign it!"

Nangong Jin suppressed his anger and picked up the document to read it.

“Break off ties with the Zhou family and go back to the Nangong family with you!!! Impossible!”

Nangong Jin refused without hesitation, holding the document tightly, his body trembling slightly.

The old woman didn't care at all, and just said calmly: "I heard that your mother is coming back to hold a wedding, right? Humph, that woman, do you know that she and your father have not divorced yet? If she really has married abroad, the Nangong family will sue her for bigamy! Do you have any choice!?"

Every time Nangong Jin heard a word the woman spoke, her heart grew colder.

Why did her mother lie to her for so many years? She felt like a joke now, a joke that didn't even know who she was.

She stood there laughing, but even though she was smiling, she was crying very ugly.

Seeing this, the woman felt that her goal had almost been achieved, so she continued with threats and inducements.

"You are from the Nangong family, how can I lie to you? After all, you are my granddaughter!"

Nangong Jin didn't believe a single word she said. Her hypocritical face made her feel sick and want to vomit.

But if what she said was true, what would her mother do? Just as she was hesitating, the woman's next words made her make up her mind.

"You may not know? The Zhou Group has been in a bit of trouble recently. I heard that Zhou Ziqian and the Xu family broke up! Hehe, if the Nangong family steps in at this time, what do you say..."

The woman stroked her jade ring and spoke lightly.

Nangong Jin was visibly panicking. No, she absolutely could not let the Zhou family be in danger because of her.

"I'll sign!! But I have one condition!"

Just like that, Nangong Jin said these words that changed the trajectory of his life.

That night, Nangong Jin disappeared and no one knew where she went.

On the other side, in the basketball final, He Zichen was anxiously looking for Nangong Jin, which affected his performance and the score gradually fell behind.

The coach had no choice but to let him go off the court to rest.

He Zichen's eyes were fixed on the audience seats from beginning to end. He suddenly saw Li Ran. He was very happy, thinking that Nangong Jin would appear with her.

But soon his eyes dimmed and he clenched his fists: Nangong Jin, why didn’t you come!

He kept his head down, and finally there was determination in his eyes. No matter what, he would give his best.

As he came on the court, his condition gradually stabilized and he even performed exceptionally well. This night was destined to belong to He Zichen, and the audience cheered.

Xinglan School won, and he won too, but he lost the person he most wanted to share with.

"He Zichen, He Zichen..."

"Fuck, he's really amazing! At this level, it's only a matter of time before he's scouted by an international talent scout!"

"The MVP of this game is—He Zichen!"

He was thrown high up by the crowd, and then dropped down, his eyes still searching for Nangong Jin's figure.

When the game was over and everyone was celebrating, he came to the rooftop alone, holding a bottle of paper cranes in his hand, and just stood there blankly.

“Nangong Jin, why don’t you come, why!?”

He roared towards the sky in grief, and then it started to rain.

He just stood there motionless, letting the rain soak him!

Li Ran was standing behind him and watching all this: Humph, as expected, the person in his heart is Nangong Jin.

At this time, He Zichen's phone rang: "Hello!?"

"Old Five, have you seen Xiao Jin? She hasn't come back since school ended! We can't find her anywhere!"

He Zichen's phone slipped down from his fingertips.

Nangong Jin is missing!

He didn't have time to think, he ran back home like mad, soaking wet, looking particularly pitiful.

“Where’s Nangong Jin!”

Zhou Ziqian's face was full of solemnity. "Old Five, she's not with you, and she hasn't gone home either. So where did she go? Today is her birthday!"

The housekeeper was also anxious and crying: "Wuwuwu, I was thinking of giving the young lady a surprise, young lady, where are you?"

He Zichen couldn't hear anything, he only knew that Nangong Jin was really missing.

He panicked and turned around to continue looking for someone, but suddenly fell down.

The Zhou family used all their manpower for several days but failed to find Nangong Jin. They only knew that she had been taken away by someone.

This night, there was the high spirits of the twenty-year-old He Zichen, the unfinished business of the twenty-year-old Nangong Jin, and also the regrettable love that should have existed.

Just like that, time passed like a white horse, and in a house somewhere in England, heavy snow was falling outside the window and Christmas songs were playing everywhere.

A woman was sitting at a desk with her head down, writing something.

Suddenly her cell phone rang. It was an old model phone, but it still looked as brand new as a new one, which showed that its owner took good care of it.

She picked up her phone and read the messages one by one.

Second brother: "Xiaojin, happy Christmas!"

Third brother: "Xiao Jin, it snowed at home today, how about you?"

Big Brother: "Xiao Jin, go home early!"

Fourth brother: "Brother wants to eat the food you cook!"

The woman's eyes gradually became moist. It had been five years, but it seemed as if everything happened just yesterday.

There is only one person from whom I have not received a single message, not a single word, in the past five years. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared without a trace, just like her.

Maybe he hates me!

Nangong Jin carefully put the phone back to its place. Over the past five years, her brothers' distant concern has been the motivation for her to work hard in a foreign country.

Wait for me, I'll be back soon!

I will make that woman pay the price!
