Chapter 527: Getting Drunk at the Bar (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[An Qi, female, twenty-eight years old this year, has a younger sister…] All of this information were known to Nie Yunfan from the start. He quickly flipped to the back and rested his gaze on the words written in the document’s bottom row.
An Qi was born in a poor and underdeveloped city where sons were highly valued. An Qi was the family’s only child. As a result, An Qi’s parents, particularly her mother, were frequently chastised by her grandparents.
Fortunately, An Qi’s parents were well-educated and were unconcerned about such conservative thinking. Even though they were frequently chastised by their parents for giving birth to An Qi, An Qi’s parents never held a grudge against An Qi. In fact, they adored their one and only daughter.
An Qi had a heartwarming and happy family that everyone envied. Unfortunately, all of this had changed dramatically when An Qi was only five years old.
An Qi’s mother was locally known as a beautiful and elegant woman who was a good match with her father. This, however, had piqued the interest of An Qi’s covetous eldest uncle, who lusted after her mother’s beauty.
Her eldest uncle was not the same as An Qi’s biological father. Her eldest uncle was an uneducated crop harvester who was unaware of the law and did things his own way.
One summer afternoon, while An Qi’s father was out doing business, her eldest uncle showed up at her house and attempted to harass her mother.
An Qi’s mother made every effort to fight back. However, she could not defeat An Qi’s eldest uncle, who was always engaged in crop work. Just as An Qi’s uncle was about to succeed, her father rushed back from outside, just in time to stop her eldest uncle’s misbehavior. An Qi’s father became enraged and engaged in a fight with her eldest uncle.
An Qi’s parents were civilized citizens. As a result, her father could not compete with her eldest uncle. When An Qi’s mother saw her husband being beaten up by her eldest uncle, she panicked and joined the fight, and the two of them ended up fighting her uncle.
No matter how powerful An Qi’s eldest uncle was, he could not defeat two people. An Qi’s father pushed him to the floor, and her eldest uncle’s head landed on the door sill by accident. He bled to death.
An Qi’s parents were angry. However, they had not intended to murder her eldest uncle. They both panicked when they learned that An Qi’s eldest uncle had died.
After that, they had no choice but to flee this perilous terrain with An Qi.
Unfortunately, God was clearly not on this family’s side. An Qi’s parents quickly stopped a car as they fled. Due to fatigue from driving, the driver who had taken them on the run was unable to make a turn in time in a mountain pass. As a result, they were involved in a car accident.
An Qi was extremely lucky to have survived the crash. However, as a result of their efforts to protect An Qi, her parents’ souls were trapped on the desolate mountain road for all time.
After the car accident, An Qi was naturally sent back home. At that time, the death of An Qi’s eldest uncle had spread throughout the town.
An Qi was the only eyewitness. Despite this, she was only five years old at that time, and her words failed to gain the trust of others.
As such, her parents were branded as murderers. An Qi’s grandparents blamed her and her mother entirely. They considered An Qi and her mother to be people who brought bad luck. Her mother had not only failed to give birth to a son, but she was also the cause of the deaths of their two sons, whom they had brought up with difficulty.
An Qi’s grandparents had ignored her since then. An Qi’s eldest aunt blamed An Qi entirely for her husband’s death. She scolded and thrashed her. She treated An Qi, a five-year-old child, as if she were a housemaid.
After a year, their neighbor could not bear to watch this anymore. Just when An Qi was being severely beaten up by her eldest aunt, their neighbor called the cops.
An Qi’s elders stopped harassing her after the police officer intervened, but only for a short time before resuming their previous behavior. Despite the police officers’ repeated warnings and arguments, An Qi’s family was as stubborn as a mule.
In the end, the police officers were at their wits’ end when it came to dealing with this band of barbarians.
The police officers had no choice but to send An Qi to the orphanage for the time being. It was then that An Qi met An Yue. For more than a decade, the two sisters worked together to help each other. As he studied the information printed in black and white, Nie Yunfan’s expression was as dark as thunderclouds.
As he read, he subconsciously squeezed his hands, crumpling the papers, just like his current mood.
After Nie Yunfan finished reading the information, the first thing that came to mind was the image of An Qi turning her back after saying those words, as well as the words she said to Xie Yuqing.
She had mentioned, “That’s right. I am the daughter of a murderer. But does a murderer’s daughter have to be humble in everything she does? Since the day I was born, I have never committed a crime, not even murder or arson. I obeyed the law. I am not inferior to others, nor do I let them down. No one has the authority to deny my existence and hard work!”
Nie Yunfan’s heart clenched, just as it had done the day before when he stood by the side, watching the doctors and nurses administer first aid to An Qi. He had had an unusual feeling for the same person twice in a row. Nie Yunfan found it difficult to deceive himself.
“Oh, darn it. She is a hot-tempered butch. Her appearance is no better than that of my previous girlfriends. Although she has a good figure, it is not particularly appealing… Sob… What is it that makes me feel defeated?”
Nie Yunfan hurled the documents around furiously. He appeared irritated. He did not know if he was angry with the people who had contributed to An Qi’s countless sad memories or with himself for failing to control his own heart.
Regardless, Nie Yunfan found himself in a quandary. A different person, on the other hand, was in a more difficult situation.
The incomparably lively and intense songs played under the flashing neon illusion, high-pitched voices mixed with the dancing crowd, as well as the crisp sound of glasses clinking together all contributed to the vibrant and magical atmosphere.
When Ling Ran stepped into the bar, he furrowed his eyebrows when he was greeted by such a sight.
Young Master Ling, who appeared to be a hanger-on but was actually well-disciplined, struggled to adjust to this extremely noisy environment.
He forced himself to enter, hoping to find the person he was looking for.
After avoiding countless women in heavy makeup who were making every effort to throw themselves at him, Ling Ran finally found his target in a dark corner of the bar.
At that moment, Ye Yan was already a little tipsy. However, he maintained some sanity. The women on the side had been eyeing him for some time. When they saw him intoxicated, their desires were ignited. The brave ones approached him and threw themselves at him.
“Mister, are you by yourself?”
