Chapter 467 - 441: Extra Story
Nan Yu was brought back from her uncle’s house by her adoptive parents, who said they had arranged a good marriage for her and wanted her to come back for the wedding.
Ever since their biological daughter, Nan Qingqing, returned, her adoptive parents, once so doting on her, had turned cold and began to despise her. Eventually, they threw her to her gambling-addicted uncle in the countryside, only letting her return for a month during the New Year, and sometimes even sending her back early.
This time, though it wasn’t the usual time of year, her adoptive parents suddenly came to bring her home, showering her with attentiveness, making her feel, just for a moment, as if she was back to the time when they treated her as their real daughter, calling her their "good girl" with every breath.
Nan Yu felt a flicker of joy in her heart, but more than that, she found it strange.
Over the years, her adoptive parents had nearly acted as if they had never raised her, abandoning her to her uncle with disdain.
Not to mention, they adored Nan Qingqing so much that if there truly was a good marriage, there was no way it would fall upon her. It would undoubtedly have been arranged for Nan Qingqing.
Under Nan Yu’s persistent questioning, her adoptive parents finally confessed the truth. They had made a marriage promise to the Huo Family years ago: their daughter would marry Huo Juanyan when he turned 28.
Once, her adoptive parents were eager for this union, planning for Nan Qingqing to marry him. But after Huo Juanyan suffered a car accident, lost both parents, and became physically disabled, his personality turned increasingly cruel and vicious.
When Nan Qingqing learned of his situation, she wanted no part of the marriage. She feared not only a miserable life but possibly even losing her own life if she married him.
