Chapter 1oo: Helpless

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xie He was busy with her career, and she kept breaking promises to Lu An. She did not have time to exercise with him or attend parent-teacher conferences at school. The servants often did this for her. The children in the kindergarten had never met Lu An’s parents before, so they laughed at him for being an unwanted child. As for him, he only knew how to solve problems with his fists and fought one after another.

Lu An was not a cold person. When he was young, his mother was the only person in his world. Then his parents suddenly divorced, and he came with Xie He at a young age to this unfamiliar city. From then on, the mother and son spent less time together and more time apart. Xie He was busy outside every day. Although she would occasionally bring him a lot of toys and snacks when she came home, Lu An felt that his mother was getting further and further away from him.

Sometimes, he felt that others were right. Perhaps his parents really did not want him anymore. During Lu An’s darkest period, Jin Nian like a small sun that broke into his world without any explanation.

She was always talkative:

“Anan, did you not eat again?”

“Anan, this is the yogurt my mom made herself.”

“Whoever is going to say that Lu An is an unwanted child again! I’ll tear your mouths apart!”

From the age of five, Jin Nian became Lu An’s closest family member. When did he fall for her? Lu An could not explain it himself. He only knew that the way he looked at her was not pure. But Jin Nian was always so silly that she could not feel anything. He did not dare to get close to her or confess. He was afraid that he would mess things up, afraid that this wisp of light would disappear from his world.

The only thing Lu An could do was to suppress the emotions in his heart. He had never thought of giving up, but he still needed time.

Because of Xie He, the two of them had been separated for six years, and Lu An’s world had once again become dark and gloomy. Lu An hated Xie He, but he was even angrier at himself. He had said so many nasty things and had been so heartless as not to contact Jin Nian for six years… everything was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, crushing Lu An until he could not breathe.

The familiar voice on the phone pulled him out of his thoughts. Lu An said gently to Jin Nian, “Be good at home. I’ll be back soon.”

If Jin Nian listened carefully, she would be able to hear his trembling voice. When he heard Jin Nian’s voice and thought about the grievances that she had never revealed to him all these years, his heart ached as if it had been stabbed by a knife.

What could he do to make up for the misunderstanding he had of her for the past six years? How could he make her feel better? Who could teach him?

Jin Nian was furious, “Lu An, you’re a pig!”

Lu An listened to her lively tone and his breathing slowly became smoother, “Why are you scolding me again?”

“You left me alone in the villa and went out alone?” Jin Nian complained. “Why are you so wicked?”

“I’ll be home in twenty minutes. Feel free to scold or beat me then.”

“Who wants to beat you or scold you? You’d better not come back tonight!” Jin Nian did not give Lu An a chance to speak. She hung up the phone and huffed into the blanket angrily. She was really trying to get out of danger. It was already so late, and Lu An had left her here alone.

When she thought of Lu An’s old friends that she had met tonight, Jin Nian became even angrier. So annoying! Including Lu An, that pig!

The remaining fear in her heart was covered by anger. Jin Nian got out of bed to remove her makeup.

On the other end, Lu An stood at the entrance and finished smoking a cigarette. Then, he threw the cigarette butt on the carpet and crushed it with his foot. He turned around and threatened coldly, “If you dare to provoke Jin Nian again, I will make you lose everything. Try me if you don’t believe me.”

Xie He had lived for half her life, and she was not scared of people. She looked calm on the surface and even smiled helplessly, “Binhai city is only such a big place. If we accidentally bump into each other, are you going to blame me?” “Xie He!” Lu An gritted his teeth and roared.

Xie He finally knew that he was serious, and did not dare to provoke him again.

Lu An looked down at her and said in Cantonese: “Xie He, take care of yourself.”

His perfect Cantonese tone suddenly made Xie He realize that the person in front of her was not only her son, but also the entire Hong Kong Lu family behind him. The other party could destroy the family business she had accumulated over the years with a single move of their finger. Moreover, she did not want to have her relationship with Lu An broken.

She felt weak all over as she lowered her head and said: “Alright.”

After Lu An left, Xie He slumped on the sofa and laughed at herself. For so many years, she had thought that she had done everything flawlessly. Now, she could be considered to have boundless glory in front of others. Lu An was the only one who she could do nothing about..
