Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle

Chapter 512: Commitment

Translator: Lonelytree

I held onto the railing and looked at the deep sea. The sea breeze gently caressed my hair. It seemed to be encouraging me to move forward and not to look back.

Banxia got her wish because I stopped being hung up over my lost memory. With or without the memory, circumstances forced me to push forward. The future was uncertain, and I did not have the spare energy to think about those sad things.

Footsteps came from behind me. I knew that Lu Heng had deliberately increased the sound of his footsteps.

I didn’t turn around. “Are they all settled? They lost so many brothers in one night. They must be very sad.”

Lu Heng stopped a few steps away from me. He looked at the sea. “We knew the risk from the start. We’re used to deaths.”

I smiled. “Lu Heng, go and find out if the brothers and sisters have any wishes. I hope that I can help them achieve it one day. I have nothing but money left. If the wishes can be achieved through money, then perfect. Problems that can be solved by money aren’t problems at all.”

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment. He said softly, “Thank you, Miss.”

I smiled. “What’s there to thank? They have saved my life. Their wishes could be priced, but what about a human life?” I lowered my voice and muttered to myself, “Why do you choose to follow me? How am I worthy? But I thank you regardless.”

Lu Heng said, “Miss, we are the Tong Family’s guard. As long as the Tong Family is still alive, we’ll be there to protect it.”

I smiled and didn’t say anything else. My surname was Nan. I was only half a Tong.

“Miss, why are you still wandering around here?!” Banxia’s voice arrived before her person did. She jogged over and halted when she saw Lu Heng. She was still afraid of Lu Heng and his people.

Lu Heng leaned over slightly. “Miss, I’ll go back first.”

I nodded.

After he left, Banxia leaned over to me and whispered, “Miss, what are you guys talking about?”

I looked at her. “We were discussing whether to sell Banxia after we get to the shore. Otherwise, how are we supposed to feed a ship full of people?”

Banxia was stunned for a moment before she grabbed and shook my arm. “My Good Miss, how can you be so heartless? If you sold me, who would cook for you? Who will chat with you? Who will take care of your daily life? Who –”

I smiled. “Fine, fine. I know how important you are. I’d fare better selling myself away than selling you.”

Banxia giggled. “I’ll go wherever Miss goes.”

My mood lightened after talking with Banxia. I didn’t know what was waiting for me in the future, and I didn’t have any memory of my past either.

In my mind, the image of my uncle and Ma Ji abandoning me was still fresh. However, I tried not to think about it. Perhaps, I was destined to be lonely.

The most important thing now was to find out my real identity.

Banxia sighed lightly. “Miss, don’t make things difficult for yourself. I really don’t think there’s anything bad about you not having memories. We can have a fresh start. How many people want that?” Banxia stuck out her tongue. “Miss, just relax. One day, the memories will come back to you. Perhaps it’ll bring you a handsome and capable boyfriend too!”

I looked at Banxia. If only I were as carefree as she was!
