Chapter 950: Used (4)
Ling Tianya frowned. She didn’t like the sll of cigarette smoke.
Wang Manpeng could sense Ling Tianya’s distaste, but he inhaled deeply anyway before blowing the smoke into her face. “I’m sorry, I guess I’m really not as good as Ruan Zeyan when it cos to this. Don’t worry, if you decide to be with from now on, I promise you I will try not to smoke in front of you.”
Ling Tianya couldn’t be bothered to respond to his ludicrous comnt. What mattered to her right now was finding out the reason behind his intense hatred for the Ruan family. That was her top priority.
Wang Manpeng slowly and lazily tipped the ash from his cigarette into the ash-tray on the coffee table. His gaze was forlorn, as if he was reminiscing about the past. “Mandy and I weren’t orphans to begin with, you know? We had parents too. My childhood mories are hazy, but I rember what it felt like when the whole family was together. I could never forget what that felt like.”
“Originally, I had thought that my small family of four would live happily ever after. I would slowly grow up and beco the pillar of support in the family. Mandy would grow up as well, get married and have children. However, all my fantasies were broken down once my father passed away. Mandy and I were still so small then, and we didn’t know how our father died. We just knew that we would never see our old man again.”
“My mother was broken. She was crying every single day. Finally, on an ordinary day, she decided to jump from the building. There, just like that, she took her own life. Mandy and I were left without parents. In the blink of an eye, we were orphans. Our small happy life was gone, taken away from us.”
“We were sent to the orphanage. Life was cutthroat over there, and I had to take care of Mandy and fight for both of us. I had to fight for everything. We would end up getting beaten by other kids over there as we relied on each other.”
Wang Manpeng’s cigarette was burning out. He decided to stub the cigarette out as he continued to reminisce. “I can rember this part clearly, Mandy too. I rember how families who ca by to adopt were not willing to even look at us. So of them would want to adopt without Mandy. Because I was a boy, and Mandy was a girl. The older generation thinks a lot more highly of boys than girls. Every ti this happened, I would ask them to adopt Mandy as well. If they were not willing, I would throw a terrible fit, a tantrum, until the family would give up as well. I didn’t mind that. I was the older brother, and I had to protect Mandy.”
“One day, I t Ruan Qishan at the orphanage. He adopted both Mandy and . Society was going through dark tumultuous tis then. Ruan Qishan was rich and powerful. All he had to do was to give the orphanage a sum of money, and he was able to take us away. He didn’t have to do any paperwork or apply for any docuntation.”
“Mandy and I started living in the Ruan household. I was extrely grateful to Ruan Qishan then. He was the savior that had brought Mandy and out of the orphanage. He was kind to us as well. We ate well, and we always had warm clothes. He raised us well in the Ruan household.”
“Then, Ruan Qishan brought in front of a proud and quiet boy. The boy was Ruan Zeyan. It was my first ti eting him. Ruan Qishan told that I would have to follow Ruan Zeyan around from then on, although he didn’t tell explicitly. I knew that I was supposed to be Ruan Zeyan’s shadow from that day on. I was indebted to the Ruan family, and I was grateful to them, so I decided to repay all of my gratitude to Ruan Zeyan.”
“I followed Ruan Zeyan to school and all sorts of other places. I followed him when he underwent harsh physical training and martial arts practice.”
