234: Chapter 234: The Past of Lan Kexin 234: Chapter 234: The Past of Lan Kexin However, Ning Fan really saw today, that there are indeed such shameless people in the world.
Lan Haishan left a deep and very disgusting impression on him!
“Whaaaa!”
Lan Kexin could no longer hold back her tears after Lan Haishan left, she squatted on the ground and wept.
Ning Fan looked at her with a distressed heart and hurried over to Lan Kexin’s side.
“It’s okay, he’s gone now.
If he comes to harass you again, just call me directly, calling the police would be too merciful for him!”
“Ning Fan, thank you!”
Ning Fan helped the emotionally unstable Lan Kexin into the house after chasing away the rascal that was her father.
She was still crying, for her father, Lan Haishan, who was shameless to the extreme.
That man did not at all resemble a father.
To him, Lan Kexin was nothing more than an ATM, even something that could be traded as a commodity.
Ning Fan also felt great sympathy for Lan Kexin to have such a father.
“Ning Fan, I’m sorry for the scene you saw today.
I will pay you back that money.”
Lan Kexin sat on the sofa, surrounded by tissues she had used to wipe her tears.
Because of Lan Haishan’s arrival today, Lan Kexin didn’t know how many tears she had shed, especially those words he said, which made her feel hopeless.
Encountering this incident with Ning Fan today made Lan Kexin feel extremely apologetic, especially since he had also spent money because of it.
Ning Fan, sitting beside Lan Kexin, smiled faintly and looked at her with concern, replying, “It’s okay, you don’t need to pay me back for the money, every household has its own problems.”
Lan Kexin, wiping away her tears, smiled.
She was very grateful that Ning Fan was there with her – otherwise she wouldn’t have known what to do earlier.
“Right, don’t be too kind to that person, these kinds of people, if you don’t stand strong against them, they’ll only get worse!”
“Yeah, I understand, if he comes again, I’ll call the police right away!”
“Don’t call the police, call me directly.
I’ll teach that bastard a lesson for you and make sure he won’t dare to harass you again!”
Ning Fan patted his chest, offering to be her Protector of Flowers.
Lan Kexin’s tears turned to laughter as she looked at Ning Fan and rubbed her red eyes, finally feeling a bit better.
“Let’s not talk about these unhappy things anymore.
It’s not often you come to visit me, come on, let’s drink!”
Lan Kexin got up, brought out the alcohol and glasses, and then filled them for herself and Ning Fan, drinking frenetically.
Ning Fan knew she was feeling down and needed alcohol to numb the pain, so he did not try to discourage her, but instead drank with her.
Lan Kexin had already drunk quite a bit with Ning Fan before, and now, because of Lan Haishan, she was completely uncontrolled, and it wasn’t long before she was thoroughly intoxicated.
“Whaaaa, Ning Fan!”
Lan Kexin lost control again and leaned into Ning Fan’s embrace, hugging him tightly and crying bitterly.
“It’s okay, it’s all in the past, it will get better!”
Ning Fan dared not let go at that moment, his hands gently stroking Lan Kexin’s back while he spoke to her in a soothing voice.
“My dad is a bastard.
He couldn’t give my mom happiness.
He forced himself on my mom, and that’s how I was born.
My mom never married him, she’s living alone now, just to avoid him…”
Perhaps needing an outlet, Lan Kexin poured out her personal history to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan stroked Lan Kexin’s hair without saying a word, silently acting as a listener.
My mother avoids him, but he found me.
He’s always been gambling.
When I was little, he would hit my mom when he lost money.
I’m really scared of him.
If he finds my mom, he will definitely hit her again.
“I had no choice, he came to me for a loan, saying it was for business, but I know he just took the money to gamble!”
Lan Kexin cried, fear evident in her eyes.
The shadows of her childhood never seemed to fade away, and every time her father, Lan Haishan, came here asking for money, she worried he would turn to her mother instead, so she always agreed.
But who could have imagined that Lan Haishan would become even more extreme, his greediness never sated.
This time, he actually wanted one hundred thousand!
Lan Kexin completely broke down this time.
“I had no choice, he’s my dad, I can’t neglect him.
If only I could be a bit more heartless, maybe my mom wouldn’t have to keep hiding!”
After all, blood is thicker than water.
Lan Haishan was her biological father, and Lan Kexin couldn’t bring herself to abandon him, but her kindness was like cutting flesh from her own body again and again.
Ignoring him felt wrong, but what could she do even if she intervened?
With Lan Haishan, Lan Kexin never felt a shred of fatherly love.
Gradually, Lan Kexin grew tired and fell asleep in Ning Fan’s arms.
She might have fallen asleep, but Ning Fan was now in a difficult position.
With her clothing partially undone, not only was her delicate collarbone exposed, in his arms, Ning Fan could always feel the soft touch of her body against him.
Her fair face was slightly flushed, her lips parted, breathing out a sweet fragrance, her hair spreading over Ning Fan’s body, mixing its scent with her body’s fragrance, wafting into Ning Fan’s nostrils.
The beauty inebriated with sleep was truly tempting, stirring the unrest in Ning Fan’s heart.
Looking at the tempting Lan Kexin in his arms, Ning Fan felt his blood starting to boil, especially now that, of all things, Lan Kexin’s little hand was placed in a somewhat awkward position.
For a moment, blood rushed to his head, and Ning Fan almost lost control.
“Whew!” Ning Fan said with a bitter face, looking at Lan Kexin and smiling wryly, “I’m not the kind of guy to take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state…”
Ning Fan carefully placed Lan Kexin on the sofa and then covered her with a coat.
Listening to Lan Kexin’s steady breathing, Ning Fan finally felt completely at ease and turned to leave.
Ning Fan’s figure disappeared from Lan Kexin’s home.
“Ning Fan, don’t go…”
In her sleep, Lan Kexin slightly furrowed her brow, mumbling in her dream, calling out for Ning Fan.
Regrettably, Ning Fan had already left and couldn’t hear Lan Kexin calling his name.
…
Elsewhere, having left Lan Kexin’s home, Ning Fan walked alone through the night in Zhonghai City, looking at the neon-lit metropolis, his thoughts drifting far away.
“Where is my family?”
Ning Fan murmured to himself, his expression extremely complex, feeling suppressed discomfort inside.
Admittedly, Lan Kexin’s father was quite detestable, but at least she had a mother and knew who her parents were.
But what about him?
He knew nothing, not even his own true identity, which Ning Fan had yet to find.
“Who am I, and where should I go?” Ning Fan gazed into the distance, feeling somewhat lost.
His lost memories, the longing to retrieve them had been with Ning Fan for years; no word from past friends or relatives.
Was he truly alone in this world?
Over the years, without a single clue, Ning Fan nearly began to doubt whether he was an orphan.
“Nine Souls Jade, six more to go…”
Ning Fan thought of the Nine Souls Jade, nine pieces in total.
He already had three pieces; by gathering all of them, his lost memories would return.
