804 I Don’t Owe You Anything
“No, no…” Lu Nuannuan’s head was about to be buried in the ground. She knew that her request was unreasonable and even a little shameless, but she couldn’t just watch her family fall into a desperate situation and watch her parents and brother suffer…
“I did save you. I don’t owe you anything.” Shen Hanxing’s tone was cold as she looked down at Lu Nuannuan. “I’m telling you all this today only because you’re still young and haven’t made any big mistakes. You’re gravely mistaken if you think I’m soft-hearted because of this.”
Shen Hanxing smirked and said coldly, “I’m sorry. I don’t know when to stop.” Just because she was forgiving towards Lu Nuannuan didn’t mean that she would give up on her plans for her sake. Furthermore, she had never owed Lu Nuannuan anything. She was already being magnanimous by not fussing over Lu Nuannuan’s past actions. What right did Lu Nuannuan have to think that she should change her mind for her? Shen Hanxing did not think of herself as Lu Nuannuan’s birth mother, nor did she think the Lu family would receive special treatment from her.
Lu Nuannuan’s eyes reddened even more. She lowered her head in embarrassment, and her tears fell like they were free. She didn’t know why she had said those words just now. It was as if she had the right to think that Shen Hanxing should tolerate and give in to her. She felt ashamed. But at the same time, she had an extravagant hope in her heart. Until Shen Hanxing ruthlessly shattered this hope, she was left with only shame and despair.
Lu Nuannuan couldn’t help but cover her face as she sobbed. Her shoulders trembled, and she looked extremely pitiful. Her life had always been smooth sailing, and she had never been so sad. She cried so hard that she didn’t care about her image.
Shen Hanxing’s eyes remained calm when she saw Lu Nuannuan’s expression. Lu Nuannuan was not innocent. She had enjoyed the generous treatment that her parents had given her. Now, she was returning something that should not have belonged to her. Why could she not accept it? Moreover, it wasn’t as if Lu Nuannuan had never done anything bad. It was just that Shen Hanxing had successfully avoided her. If Lu Nuan was pitiful, wasn’t Lu Feng, who was middle-aged and still single, suffering from the loss of his beloved daughter and a broken family, pitiful? Wasn’t Lu Feng’s one-month-old daughter, who was burned to death by fire, pitiful? It could only be said that the Lu family deserved all of this.
“If you’re here to beg for mercy, you don’t have to come next time.” Shen Hanxing said calmly, “I don’t know what gave you the wrong impression that you’re different in front of me. But Miss Lu Nuannuan, I hope you understand I don’t hate or like you.”
“No!” Lu Nuannuan raised her head abruptly. Her snot ran down her face. She looked extremely pathetic as she wailed in pain, “Don’t be like this.” Her eyes were filled with sorrow. She had expected Shen Hanxing to react this way. She had been so arrogant and rude before, and her actions were so vicious. It would be a wonder if Shen Hanxing liked her. But why did she have to let her know the truth now and let her hear her disgust? After she had fallen into the deep sea and was rescued by Shen Hanxing, she realized how powerful and charming Shen Hanxing was. No matter how much Lu Nuannuan wanted to deny it, she knew clearly that she admired Shen Hanxing and wanted to get close to her.
“I realized my mistake. I shouldn’t have done this…” Lu Nuannuan sobbed and tried to salvage the situation. She anxiously told Shen Hanxing, “I just don’t know what to do…” However, she suddenly stopped when she met Shen Hanxing’s calm gaze. She knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. She couldn’t change Shen Hanxing’s attitude. This realization made Lu Nuannuan break down. She had never felt so powerless and helpless before.
“I hope the Lu family will realize their mistake.” Ji Yan, who was not far away, noticed the commotion and looked over. Shen Hanxing noticed their gazes and smiled at them. Then, she looked at Lu Nuannuan coldly and said, “Don’t come looking for me in the future. There’s nothing to talk about between us.” With that, she turned around and walked out of the shade. The summer sun shone on her, and her black hair shimmered.
“I have a small suggestion.” Shen Hanxing’s lips hooked as she turned to Lu Nuannuan and said softly, “if I were the person in charge of the Lu Corporation, I’d take this opportunity to sell the Lu Corporation’s shares and try my best to recover the losses and declare bankruptcy. At least there’s still a way out.” After that, she turned around and left without saying anything more.
