Jiang Nanshu, having finished laughing, straightened up: “Yes, yes, yes, the two young masters of the Zhou family are the most miserable people in the world. We’re just extras, a joke. I used to respect Zhou Yanxu a lot because he saved me, and I should be grateful to him for life. I’m also grateful that he thought about my future and gave me so much money. But did he ever consider that I, at only fifteen years old, could hold onto such a large sum of money from a ‘stranger’?”
“Now I’m starting to doubt his motives. Does he really want to help me, or does he want to use me to incite Zhou Yanbai’s hatred and make me a tool for his growth?”
Uncle Qi was shocked: “How could you think of the Eldest Young Master like that? You should know how good he is to you. He would never harm you. You have always been the heir. He didn’t even give the position to his own brother.”
Jiang Nanshu let out a soft breath: “Yes, I know he’s good to me, and you’re good to me too, but I’m not a Zhou, and the blood flowing in my veins isn’t from the Zhou family. Compared to me, Zhou Yanbai is more legitimate. Uncle Qi, everyone has selfish motives, I understand.”
Uncle Qi opened his mouth, his body hunched: “Let’s be lenient when we can. Don’t keep fighting for it, Miss. It won’t do you any good, and it might even put you in danger. Your company is already making a lot of money. As for the inheritance rights… Let’s give them to the Second Young Master.”
Jiang Nanshu looked at Uncle Qi and smiled: “I can give up the right of inheritance.”
Before Uncle Qi could even breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Nanshu continued: “But he doesn’t deserve it either.”
Jiang Nanshu wasn’t going to say anything more to Uncle Qi.
Should she talk about her past pain?
That’s just the weak exposing their wounds to the enemy; she won’t gain sympathy, and it might even turn into ridicule.
Zhou Yanbai was only able to enter because Uncle Qi opened the door for him.
Is the next step to gradually devour the company she has worked so hard to build?
Jiang Nanshu turned and walked outside: “From now on, I’ll pretend I don’t know you.”
“Miss…” Uncle Qi took two steps after her.
Jiang Nanshu didn’t turn back.
She just missed Xu Xi a little.
She missed Sister Yan a little.
She missed Ji’s mother, who would make her crispy pork.
She missed Ji’s father, who always had a smile on his face and was always concerned about her emotions.
She missed her silly younger brother, Ji Ze, who was obsessed with making a lot of money for her to spend.
She missed the kind-hearted Yang Jiashu, who was always happy to help others.
Unable to release the raging emotions within Jiang Nanshu, she truly felt that she should have stabbed Zhou Yanbai to death back then.
To die together with him, ending it all.
But her rational side reminded her of the family and friends she couldn’t bear to part with.
They would never want to see her commit a crime.
Zhou Yanbai, that scum, was dead, so be it. She hadn’t done anything wrong; she hadn’t even wronged anyone.
Everyone said that she was bad.
But she only hurt those who hurt her.
She hadn’t hurt any good people.
Oh, no…
She hurt one.
His name is Lu Qingyan.
Jiang Nanshu booked a private room at a bar all by herself.
When Xun Wu found out, Jiang Nanshu had drunk an entire case of liquor by herself.
His anger was barely concealed: “Boss! Don’t you know your own body condition?! Drinking like that, do you even want your stomach anymore?!”
Her stomach?
Jiang Nanshu briefly regained consciousness in her dazed state.
Yes, this body was her original, battered body.
She had been forced to drink pesticide by Zhou Yanbai, which damaged her voice and stomach.
When she was taken to the hospital, the doctors said that if she had arrived any later, she wouldn’t have survived.
But she had already lost her health.
She was only seventeen that year. She was beaten half to death by Zhou Yanbai, and she ran away as punishment for being disobedient.
