“Luo Anning, you’re not that stupid, eh?” Laurent sneered.
Placing his elbow against the table, Luo Shaodong smiled and said, “Unfortunately, I happened to take some photos of what happened back then and I haven’t deleted them after all these years. It’s finally time they come in handy.”
In order to convince her, Luo Shaodong whipped out a document envelope that contained photos and slammed it onto the table for her to see.
Staring at him apprehensively, Luo Anning grabbed the envelope, held her breath and opened it.
All of a sudden, the photos were strewn all over the table. She frantically picked them up but the more panicked she was, the more mistakes she made. Plenty of photos fell all over the ground.
The photos were real!
She could remember the filthy and lecherous homeless man even if he turned into dust!
Laurent kindly picked up the photos on the ground and stuffed them inside the envelope. “So, Luo Anning, do you agree to give the funds to MK Bank now?”
“What else is there to consider? She’ll definitely agree.” Luo Shaodong stared at Luo Anning and laughed sinisterly. “Miss Laurent, you probably don’t know that my cousin hates recalling her childhood the most. Of course, these photos are probably the ones that she wishes she could destroy the most.”
Luo Anning tightened her grip on the document envelope as the sharp edges cut her tender palm. She took a deep breath and exclaimed, “I can’t make decisions for the fund. Change your request. Also, I want the original copies of these photos!”
“Hmph, apart from funds, what else do you think MK Bank needs you for?” Greatly infuriated, Laurent raised her voice and continued, “My request is the same. I’m giving you three days to consider. If MK Bank still doesn’t deposit the funds, you shall be destroyed together with MK Bank!”
…
Feeling cold and clammy, Luo Anning returned to the hotel and thumped herself down on the couch without even switching on the lights.
Luo Shaodong was right. Her childhood was a traumatic memory that she did not wish to recall and she wished that she could destroy those photos completely!
That way, no one would know about her dark past.
Ever since her parents passed away in a traffic accident, Luo Zhiquan’s family encroached on her assets and property, and took advantage of her tender age to drive her to the damp and humid basement.
She was often deprived of food and was regularly beaten up by Luo Zhiquan and his family.
Even Luo Xinya and Luo Shaodong derived joy from bullying her…
The various memories immediately rushed into her mind and she bit her arm forcefully like an injured beast licking its wounds.
In the pitch darkness, a narrow pair of eyes were fixed on her ever since she entered. Unfortunately, she did not realize it at all.
Just as he was about to surprise her, he heard the sounds of her melancholic sobbing!
Rong Yan’s heart wrenched up and he was suddenly overwhelmed by anger and worry.
Why is she crying?
Which damned fella bullied her?
She’s crying and weeping so miserably. How should I comfort her?
Countless questions popped up in his mind and his frown continued to crease further. He initially wanted to give her a surprise but she was the one who gave him a shock instead.
All of a sudden, the chandelier lit up and every corner of the room was filled with light.
Greatly startled, Luo Anning abruptly looked up and stared at Rong Yan with reddened eyes.
What is he doing here?
Shouldn’t he be in S City?
Before Luo Anning could even voice her doubts, Rong Yan strode forward and pulled her into his arms to hug her tightly.
