Chapter 57 (1/2)

When Jiang Ming and Lan Xin walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, they saw Chikage, Zhao Long, Jiang Xinwen, and the driver coming into the house.

“Huhu~~~~ Brother…”

As soon as Jiang Xinwen walked into the room and saw Jiang Ming who was holding the dishes in his hands, her eyes welled up with tears as she quickly ran towards him.

“Little sister.”

Jiang Ming placed the plates on the table and caught Jiang Xinwen who pounced on him. He gently patted her back and comforted her. “Silly girl. Why did you quit school? If it wasn’t because I accidentally came across the message, I wouldn’t have known that you were coming back. I was too occupied before this and I didn’t get to see your message. I’m so sorry!”

“You’re such a liar! Why didn’t you tell me that you already left the guild? Why didn’t you tell me that you were collecting garbage because your arms were injured? Let me see…”

Jiang Xinwei grabbed Jiang Ming’s arms and looked at it while crying. When she saw the scars on his wrist, her tears poured down even faster as she covered her mouth as she cried out loud.

“It’s alright. Everything’s good now. See? I’m in one piece now!” When Jiang Ming saw Jiang Xinwen crying, he felt a sense of warmth in his heart. Then, he hugged her and said, “It hasn’t been that bad. Look around. I can still live in such a big house, does it look like it’s bad?”

Lan Xin, who was standing behind Jiang Ming, couldn’t help but sob when she heard what Jiang Ming said.

Was it bad?

Of course, it was!

She knew what Jiang Ming had been through for the past 3 years. Although she never appeared in front of him, she was always there, hiding in a corner. She saw how a man who used to be confident started begging for a bottle that only cost a dollar, how he only ate one piece of bread for dinner as he continued riding on his tricycle. She even saw him crying in that small, dirty room and also saw him being angry at himself as he stared at both his arms that were injured. Lan Xin was there when she saw him wanting to fight a stray dog just for a piece of meat…

As she thought about all the things that he has been through, her heart started aching and she couldn’t help but cry as well.

“Ayy, why are you crying as well?” When Jiang Ming heard cries from behind and saw Lan Xin burying her face in her hands, he sighed. Then, he pulled Lan Xin towards him and said, “Come on, we’re all alright now. Stop crying, okay? Look at this house! Doesn’t it look like a rich man’s house?”

“That’s true. If Brother Ming wants, he could easily earn millions!” The driver suddenly interrupted.

As soon as he finished his sentence, everyone around him looked at him while Jiang Ming and Chikage gave him a cold stare.

“Uh~~ Look at the weather. What a beautiful day to wash my car. I’m going to go wash my car now.”

The driver trembled when he noticed Chikage and Jiang Ming staring at him. Then, he pointed to the window and ran out of the house as he was afraid that Chikage and Jiang Ming might chop him into pieces if he stayed there any longer.

When Jiang Xinwen saw the driver who was running out of the house, she laughed. “That guy is so funny.”

“Hehe, his name is Two Nine. He’s my driver. So we usually just call him Driver,” Zhao Long said with a smile.
