Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous

Chapter 678 - 683: Murong Jialan VS Lou Xining 20

After that, Aunt Qin took me away. I was afraid of Dad at the time, so I didn’t dare to call for help.

After I was rescued by the police, Mom asked me about the appearance of that woman.

I wanted to tell her, but I couldn’t say it.

When Mom went to get the photos, Dad came.

He hit me, cursed at me, and forbade me from telling Mom who that woman was.

If I said it, he would abandon me...

Soon after, Mom came over with a pile of photos and asked me to identify.

I looked at that table full of photos, then looked at Dad’s threatening gaze. I really wished I had never seen that woman, I really wished I had never seen any of the women in those photos...

Saying this, Alan suddenly choked up a bit.

Those things from childhood, besides parents and herself, no fourth person knew about it.

"Maybe, it was the heavens hearing my prayers? From that time on, I really couldn’t recognize faces. Including my own.

I got used to not recognizing myself in the mirror, and I got used to not recognizing my parents.

But fortunately, after that incident, Mom never forced me to talk about it again..."

At the end of her speech, Alan was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"I... sob sob, I couldn’t bear Dad’s warnings, and Mom’s questioning..."

If she told Mom who that woman was, then it would bring Dad’s hatred.

If she didn’t tell Mom who that woman was, then she would be deceiving Mom together with Dad.

No matter what she did, she would feel guilty... In the end, she chose to torture herself.

As long as she couldn’t tell who was who, wouldn’t that be fine...

This way, it’s fine.

This way, Mom and Dad wouldn’t divorce.

This way, she could still have a complete family.

Then... just stay like this.

Sacrificing her ability to recognize people could exchange for the family’s happiness together.

It’s worth it.

Alan covered her mouth, sobbing incessantly.

Huge teardrops slid down and melted into the soft carpet.

She said it... finally.

Finally, she spoke the secret buried deep in her heart for so many years!

Alan was choking with sobs, but the next second, she fell into a strong embrace.

So warm, so safe, as if hiding in that embrace made everything else unimportant.

"You did well... Alan. You are the best," Lou Xining gently patted her back, comforting her as he choked up too.

He didn’t expect that at such a young age, she had gone through so much...

"So many years have passed, you have grown up. Let the past be the past. You have your own life now, you don’t have to wrong yourself, you don’t need that damn face blindness anymore, your family can be happy too, you know?"

"I... I know... but, I can’t go back... Xining, help me... help me..."

That one word, Xining, truly touched Lou Xining’s heart.

His heart ached deeply.

His hold on her got stronger.

"It will be better, everything will be better..."

"Sob sob..." Alan was still quietly sobbing, not noticing that two people had already walked in at the door.

Alan’s parents.

They had just returned, not expecting to hear such heartfelt words from their daughter.

Both of their eyes turned red.

Mrs. Murong was the first to walk over, her face full of intersecting tear marks.

"Alan... it’s Mom’s fault, Mom didn’t know, that incident hurt you so much... Lan’er, my good child..."
