"I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Oh, look who it is, the young lady from the the Tau family. How can you be late for a blind date? Didn't your parents teach you to be punctual?"
"I was just delayed by traffic for 5 minutes, do you have to be so harsh?"
"Never mind, I'll tell you the truth. If it weren't for my old man asking me to give your family some face, I wouldn't have come at all."
"You can still leave now if you want."
"You... Why are you different from other rich girls? Can't you at least try to keep me here for a while?"
"Why should I keep you, legs? You can walk away."
"Umm... I heard that the steak at this place is really good. I'll leave after I finish eating."
【Oh.】
【Don't get me wrong, I didn't stay to go on a blind date with you just because I think you're pretty.】
Oh.
fool.
Ten years ago, I met Lin Mufeng for the first time. He had just turned 20, still youthful and full of childish temper. He was a blind date arranged by my dad.
At that time, my family had not yet been harmed by traitors, and I was still a proud the Tau family daughter. After dinner, I told him that I was going to the United States for further studies and didn't want to get married so early, so I cut off contact with him.
Before leaving, he stopped me and said, "At least tell me when you'll be back. I want to wait for you."
"Fool, why wait for me? If we are meant to meet again, we will. Goodbye."
Later in the United States, I met Lin Yanhe and saw the family photo he posted, only then did I realize that he and Lin Mufeng are half-brothers.
I know that Lin Yanhe hates his stepmother and younger brother, so I have kept the fact that I have been intimate with Mufeng a secret.
I arrived at the restaurant as agreed, and Mufeng had already ordered the meal and was waiting for me.
The same steak, the same spot, the same person.
"I'm sorry I'm late again."
"It's okay, as long as you're here."
I and Lin Yanhe were originally graduate students in the same research group.
We are both working hard to develop an AI patent, which, if successful, will have a huge impact on various technological fields.
At that time, Lin Yanhe and I were immersed in the laboratory every day, staring at data, conducting experiments, and running programs day and night.
It was also at that time that he promised me in person that if he secured funding, he would give me everything I wanted.
Just as the experiment reached a critical stage, I received the bad news from home.
My father was harmed by a villain, our assets were wiped out overnight, and my parents went from being prominent figures in the financial world to being heavily indebted.
Father couldn't bear the blow and jumped off the building to end his life.
Mother, who was already in poor health, worsened her condition in a fit of anger and became what she is now.
Even in the United States, I was pursued by enemies.
That night, Lin Yanhe and I were in the research room analyzing data when a masked man shot at us and set the entire research room on fire.
I fainted in the fire to protect Lin Yanhe's safety and the data on the hard drive. When I woke up, I was lying in the hospital and didn't see Lin Yanhe around.
From then on, he just disappeared, for a whole ten years.
I worried about my mother being alone and unsafe in the country, so I emptied out our last savings to bring her to the United States.
A big fire burned the right side of my body and completely ruined my appearance.
But thanks to my ruined appearance, my mother and I have been able to safely live for the past ten years without being hunted down by our enemies.
My mother's illness requires constant surgeries, so I had to drop out of school and work day and night.
My visa expired, so I became an illegal resident, and could only do dirty, tiring, and low-paying jobs.
Over the past ten years, my fingers have become bald, and the delicate and charming temperament on my body has long disappeared.
It wasn't until a year ago that I met Lin Mufeng at the restaurant where I was working.
Even though I was wearing a mask and covered in oil, he still recognized me at a glance. He grabbed my hand in disbelief, repeating over and over, "You're still alive, you're still alive."
Yes, people back home probably thought I was dead.
And not only am I alive, but I also swear to give my family fairness.
