513: Accident

Accident

As Lu Heng had said, my uncle's people knew about our movement. As soon as we got off the boat, we were taken to my uncle's villa.2

Most of the butlers and servants were Chinese, and they were very respectful to us. This made Banxia and I finally feel at ease.

The butler, Vincent, and the housekeeper, Daisy, looked at me with tears in their eyes. They were both in their fifties.

Daisy came forward and gave me a gentle hug. "My Poor Miss."

I thought she was referring to my uncle's death. I reached out and hugged her back. But I felt guilty for not feeling more sadness.

When we arrived at the central hall, I was lost in thought as I looked at the European decor.

Why did I feel like I had been here before?

Vincent stood by the side.

Daisy's eyes were red as she said, "I didn't expect you to grow up to be so similar to Madam. Looking at you, it feels like time has turned back."

My heart moved. "Are you talking about my mother?"

Daisy nodded. "Yes, you looked more like Sir when you were young. But now, you are exactly like Madam."

"Sir? Do you mean my uncle or my father?" I asked her.

Daisy was a little stunned. "Of course, I'm talking about Mr. Nan! You looked just like him when you were young. Madam often joked that she would have another child, one that looked more like her." As Daisy said that, she laughed. "Back then, you were angry because you didn't want Madam to have another child to take away her attention!"

When I heard this memory that I had absolutely no recollection of, I was extremely shocked.

Sensing my discomfort, Vincent stopped Daisy from continuing. "How many years ago was it? At that time, Miss was only three or four years old. How can she still remember it now?"

Daisy smiled and nodded. "You're right. Madam said this place was going to be Miss' honeymoon destination. In the blink of an eye, Miss grew into a beautiful woman already. It's a pity that Sir and Madam won't be here to see it."

Her expression dimmed.

Vincent said, "Miss, please, don't mind us. We're old. Daisy especially likes to reminisce about the past. She likes to ramble..."

I stopped them. "Uncle Vincent, Auntie Daisy, this house belonged to my parents?"

My heart pounded violently for no reason.

They were flustered by my way of address. Daisy quickly nodded. "That's right! Miss!"

"This... isn't my uncle's residence?" I confirmed with them again.

Daisy looked at Vincent hesitantly. She didn't seem to understand why I was asking this.

Vincent was calm. "Miss, Mr. Nanzheng and Ms. Tong Huan bought this property for their daughter Nanxing as her 23rd birthday present. We informed Mr. Tong Hui right after Miss' birthday to have him get you over to see the house. You can use this place for your honeymoon..."

I fell onto the sofa.

"Miss..." Daisy and Banxia quickly came over. I stopped them from touching me.

I smiled. So that's how it is! This place isn't my uncle's property at all, but mine! The inheritance my parents left me!

I looked at Lu Heng.

There was a residual shock in Lu Heng's eyes.

"Did you know about this?" I asked Lu Heng.

Lu Heng took a step forward and bowed. "Miss, I don't." He knelt down on one knee. "Sea Wolves is willing to follow Miss forever!"

I looked at him. He didn't move. I didn't move.

The people looked at us in confusion.
