Chapter 205: Chapter 200 Betrayal

"Would you like to become my daughter?"

Because of those words, Nania’s life changed.

Xiao Yi saw it.

A girl whose parents were murdered by an enemy once again embarked on the life her parents had walked.

Nania’s parents were officers in a certain black industry.

Mixing in that line, making enemies was only too normal, and being murdered... was also only too normal.

Then, on that day when Nania lost her parents and no one was willing to take her in, that man reached out to her.

That man was the leader of the black industry, and why he took Nania in, she herself was not clear.

However, in her heart, Nania regarded that man as her reborn parents, the benefactor who allowed her to survive.

In this way, she grew up in the environment her parents had wanted her to avoid.

And here, the ironic and disgusting part was that the black industry personnel, who amassed wealth through despicable means, favored the word "morality" the most.

Although it was just an empty phrase, merely a means to control people’s minds, emphasizing morality over profit.

Essentially, it was about deceiving people into willingly giving up their own benefits to satisfy the needs of others.

At the same time, morality also emphasized the concept of reciprocating even minor favors, which must be remembered and repaid doubly.

And essentially, it also meant framing one’s own efforts as favors from others, being grateful for them, and thanking them for giving oneself the opportunity, for being willing to nurture oneself.

But Nania, only a child, developed an aspiration and longing for that term.

Naturally, it became her belief... or perhaps her faith.

She thus firmed her resolve to repay her benefactor.

Thereafter, she became what she thought of as the most obedient child, taking on any task with neither complaint nor reluctance.

Even if it was something she disliked, something that would stain her with blood, she would nod without hesitation and carry it out without a second thought.

All her actions were to repay kindness; this was Nania’s life.

Watching Nania’s performance, that man’s subordinates all commented like this.

They really raised a good dog.

But then, those people found that even a loyal dog couldn’t compare to such self-sacrifice and dedication.

Thus, they referred to Nania as a slave and a fool.

But Nania didn’t mind; she always thought it was proper, even if she had spent her youth as a slave, it didn’t matter.

Because, apart from repaying kindness, her adoptive father always told her that he considered her his own daughter, but others did not think so.

Therefore, she had to earn her place through her own efforts, working hard on her own without relying on others, grounding herself step by step to accumulate achievements so as to completely shut others up and make them acknowledge her as his daughter.

Nania believed in her adoptive father without any hesitation, firmly believing that as long she tried hard to repay him, she would definitely make him truly consider her as his daughter and get others to think the same, thereby truly becoming part of the family.

This way, she would then have the right to sit at the table for meals in that home.

And then, this life continued until the day Nania came of age.

On the day Nania came of age, her adoptive father gave her a special gift.

"Nania, can you... go to prison in my place?"

Her adoptive father explained that their business was flourishing and he couldn’t leave, otherwise everything would fall apart.

Moreover, he tirelessly assured her that once she got out, he would definitely compensate her to the best of his ability.

And Nania agreed.

At that moment, she only felt that she still had a long way to go to become that man’s true family.

Then, after an almost evidence-less and contradictory farce of a trial, Nania unsurprisingly received nearly ten years of prison life.

In those ten years, she had behaved well, all in the hopes of being released early from prison.

Despite the other inmates insulting her, she remained unaffected.

Whether spit was mixed into her food, or she was assigned all the dirty, exhausting jobs, or her face was shoved into a toilet, she remained unaffected.

But that day, when a prisoner who knew about her background came in and began to widely publicize her past,

those who heard it couldn’t help but mock her.

They loudly called out, saying Nania was such a foolish person, and her foster father was undoubtedly deceiving her.

Nania still turned a deaf ear, having always endured such words in the same manner.

But the words of the person who revealed her past completely drove Nania to lose her sanity.

"What did you say? You said that man is your foster father? Haha... That man has never acknowledged his relationship with you; he has completely severed ties with you. You trusted him so much, did so much for him, only to be betrayed by him without hesitation, you fool!"

That day, Nania struck back.

That day, Nania had already been in prison for several years, endured humiliations for several years, and would soon be able to leave this hell on earth.

It was also that day when all of Nania’s efforts became meaningless.

Then, after twelve years in prison, Nania, finally able to return to society, felt afraid of the outside world.

The streets and alleys were filled with things she couldn’t understand at all.

The behavior and thoughts of the people, she found puzzling.

Standing in the midst of a bustling crowd, Nania felt as if she were in a world void of anything, isolated and alone.

Twelve years of changes had completely disconnected her from society, she had been utterly abandoned.

Because she was abandoned, she fell behind; because she fell behind, she was abandoned.

With nowhere to go, she returned once more to the dark industry she had once known.

Then she discovered that the industry she once had to skulk around in was now prominently situated in the brightest part of the city, haughtily overlooking everything.

Twelve years can change a lot, but there are also many things that remain unchanged.

You are part of me, and I am part of you.

This means of survival had remained unchanged; her foster father had used it to become a legitimate entrepreneur and gradually expanded the business.

When she returned there, no one was welcoming since everyone thought she came to share in the profits.

Having served more than a decade in prison, what right did she have to share their money?

Her foster father, though aged with graying hair, was still the same.

The man took her in but his methods hadn’t changed; he only told Nania that the factions were complex, he was not his own master, so he could only let Nania start from scratch and succeed on her own efforts.

Next, Nania took up again the work that hardly anyone else was willing to do, but it was the only simple task she could still understand.

Yet, Nania still felt at a loss.

Because she discovered that the people here had become unprincipled, only discussing the peeled-away "morality" of interests.

Although everyone had become purer, the only thing Nania had clung to had vanished.

But she still endured, as she had always done, she was truly experienced.

Moreover, her foster father had promised her once again that once she achieved results, he would definitely promote her to be by his side.

Her life was still being consumed as before; nothing had ever changed.

Until that day, Nania’s life finally changed.

Because of the numerous factions within the industry and the escalating contradictions, it naturally turned into a conflict.

And Nania, lacking much thoughtfulness, was used as a tool, igniting the full-blown war.

Then, she truly realized that she had been betrayed.
