“Are you charging a little too high?” Nian Xi was trying to persuade her brother. As a police officer, she was always the most afraid of victims with family members that sued for large sums of money, her brother was that kind of family member.
“They should’ve known that she was my girlfriend. Do you know how rich your brother? As my girlfriend, Luo Sang is worth at least ten million dollars. Her forehead is injured from the accident, what if it leaves a scar in the future, I’m already being merciful by asking for five million dollars.”
Nian Junting hung up after that.
After sighing, he turned behind and looked Luo Sang straight in the eye. She had woken up while he was on the phone.
“So, I’m going to be a millionaire from this incident?” Luo Sang gave him a weak smile.
Nian Junting couldn’t bring himself to smile at her, he slammed his phone onto the bedside table and looked at her sternly, “Yeah, Xu Luosang, you are going to be a millionaire. You traded all of this with your own life.”
“...”
Her smile on her pale face froze and she instinctively clutched the white sheets in her fists.
After a minute, she said hoarsely, “You know everything now?”
How did he find out?
She willed herself to recall the series of events, she remembered seeing Yi Jingxi while she was in the pool. When she was pulled out of the water, she vaguely remembered seeing Yi Jingxi again, then Nian Junting, but her memory was fuzzy.
“Did Yi Jingxi tell you that I am Xu Luosang?” she hazarded a guess.
“He told me some bits, he said that you were his fiancée, are you really?” Nian Junting stared at her.
“Rubbish,” Luo Sang was shaking and she was slightly flushed from rage, “I used to be, but I’m not related to him in any way now.”
Nian Junting felt a wave of relief, although he felt protective over her, he was still angry at the fact that she hid these things from him.
“I heard about the rest from Xiao Si, I kind of know what you went through, Luo Sang. I know you kept your past from me out of your concern about our relationship. But don’t you think it’s too much that you shared more about yourself with my good pal than me? Am I such a superficial person in your opinion that I would leave you in view of your history?”
“I know you won’t, but I...” Luo Sang gave a helpless smile, “How could I bring myself to tell you, tell you that I’m Xu Zhengxuan’s daughter, tell you that my father is a lowly criminal?”
“I remember I told you before, that you are not defined by what your parents did...”
“But I can’t speak of my father that way. In my eyes, he is a good person, I lost my mother when I was young and my father was there for me all along. He taught me my values, he took meticulous care of me. I don’t even have the cheek to admit that I am Xu Luosang.”
Nian Junting was stunned.
Luo Sang was clenching her jaw, she could feel herself choking up. No matter how much time had passed, it always made her heart ache to talk about her past again.
“If I hadn’t fallen in love with Yi Jingxi and brought him to see my dad, if I didn’t insist on my engagement with him, my dad wouldn’t have landed in jail. You might not believe me, but my father was fiercely protective of his students. He told me that he always felt a sense of pride when he watched his students graduate with flying colors. That was the kind of man he was, but Yi Jingxi testified against him in court and accused him of indecency acts against his students. I was in so much pain, I was the one who put him in such a position, I hate myself. Why was I so blind? I don’t want to be Xu Luosang, I hate Xu Luosang.
