747 That Gaze

After being mistreated for years, all that left was nothing but indifference.

Old Master Nan didn't think that his son would try to give what his granddaughter had lost back to her. They were all nothing more but nonexistent affection and hope that could never be realized.

The real reason for Nan Hua to come back was not because she longed for any of those so called affection coming from Nan Shu Cheng. Instead, what she wanted was nothing more than destruction of this place.

Maybe…

There was some kind of hope from the bottom of her heart to help her father a bit.

But that kind of feeling might not even reach 1% of Nan Hua's real intention of coming here.

Old Master Nan had seen how cold Nan Hua could be. The fact that Dark Moon Organization could grow so much had to be attributed to Nan Hua's ability to lead and also her ruthlessness.

She's very ruthless.

Both to herself and to others.

Even if she was in pain and hurt, there would not be any trace of those in her face. Other people would never notice that they had hurt her.

And the wound in her heart had long been buried by that young girl. The wound that was caused by her own father's treatment towards her.

"When all of your feelings has been exhausted, all that left is nothing but indifference," Old Master Nan said slowly. And that was precisely what he felt towards Nan Shu Cheng right now.

His heart hurt so much by his son's behavior.

If not because of his promise to his late wife, he would have long disowned Nan Shu Cheng and abandoned this man. There was no way he would want to see this son of his again because of what he had done.

"Father." Nan Shu Cheng frowned. "Are you still siding with her even all this time?"

"What makes you think that I'll side with you? You're stubborn, Shu Cheng. Even though others had told you that you make a mistake, you never want to listen." Old Master Nan paused for a moment. "Whether you believe me or not, I don't care. However, I never told her to be the one to correct your mistake."

"What?" Nan Shu Cheng looked at his father in disbelief.

Old Master Nan looked at Nan Shu Cheng coldly. "When someone close to you make a mistake, would you not try your best to try to correct them? Life is not all about having fun and enjoying yourself. Humans make mistake and whether they correct them or not depends on their choice."

Now, Nan Shu Cheng was silent.

Old Master Nan looked at his son and sighed deeply. Madam Nan was a very good woman who had good vision and all. If only she was not paired with this b*stard in front of him, Old Master Nan felt that she would have lived a happier life.

He felt that he had wronged her again and again.

Yet, there was really nothing he could do.

He glanced to the side as he saw Nan Hua walked with the maidservants following her. Judging by how fast they packed up, he could guess that Nan Hua had already guessed that he came here to bring her away.

He smiled brightly. "Hua'er."

"Grandfather." Nan Hua's indifferent gaze softened a bit when she saw her grandfather. Even though the change was not much, Old Master Nan was delighted that his granddaughter had long acknowledged him as part of her family member.

That was more than enough for him.

"I come here to bring you back. You have suffered here." Old Master Nan didn't care for anything else as he stood up and walked towards Nan Hua. Looking at the young girl's thin body, he felt ached.

At that moment, he forgot that Nan Hua's body has always been on the slender type.

"It's fine, Grandfather." Nan Hua then looked at Nan Shu Cheng by the side.

Truthfully, she came here mostly in order to recover her long lost memory. Most of them were unpleasant and only contained abuse from this very man in front of her. However, there were also many happy moments with her mother and twin brother.

Not all had been recovered.

But it was enough.

The young Nan Hua didn't have much information about the world and didn't have any interaction with the outside world yet. After all, she was staying inside her residence almost all of the time.

Thus, there was not much new information.

Only some long forgotten details.

"Father, I'm going."

Nan Shu Cheng's body jerked when he heard the indifferent voice. He looked up and saw Nan Hua's stoic face. In truth, Nan Hua herself rarely changed her expression as it mostly looked like this stone that could never change.

However, what Nan Shu Cheng could see was that gaze on her eyes.

No warmth.

No longing.

No affection.

There was only indifference and coldness as if she was looking at an unfamiliar person.

The striking similarities seemed to be pulling him back to five to six years ago when his former wife left the residence. It was the same gaze and similar face. Everything about the two of them was so similar.

So similar that it made him crazy just thinking about it.

Nan Hua noticed her father's complicated gaze but didn't want to look at him anymore. She turned to her grandfather and tugged his sleeve. "Grandfather, let's go."

"Okay, Hua'er." Old Master Nan passed one last look towards his son. "I won't bring her here anymore, Shu Cheng. I don't think you'll miss her either, would you?"

Miss her?

At that phrase, Nan Shu Cheng was more dumbfounded and couldn't do anything but stand there. He watched as Old Master Nan and Nan Hua walked away. One was large and towering while the other one was small.

However, they truly looked like grandfather and granddaughter even from the back.
