Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend Chapter 690 690: The Girl with a Hard Life

In the late 1980s, the economy was not as developed as it is today.

Back then, many people opted to work in factories and the like. Chen ngying's parents were factory workers at the ti; they t through introductions and got married.

In the early 1990s, Chen ngying was born. The factory, aiming to provide benefits for the employees, built many apartnt buildings for them. This is where Chen ngying currently lives.

The selling price was incredibly low at the ti, costing only fifteen thousand yuan to acquire that house.

Salaried workers, working overti, together her parents earned around two thousand yuan a month. Though it was hard work, life was fulfilling.

However, when Chen Xinglong t the factory director's daughter, everything changed.

The director's daughter imdiately took a liking to Chen Xinglong, frequently showing him favor and even buying him an expensive watch.

A man, when faced with a better material life, would certainly have thoughts. When the wife was on maternity leave, the family's inco dropped even more; the essentials of life all cost money.

With a crying child, no matter how hard he worked for ten years, it seed nothing would change. So, Chen Xinglong left two thousand yuan and a letter for his family and followed the director's daughter to Macau.

Wasn't marrying into a wealthy family supposed to lead to an abundant life? But now? Why did he return like this and forcefully try to sell the only valuable house?

It turned out the director's daughter was unable to have children due to health issues, which is why she set her sights on Chen Xinglong, who already had a family and child.

By the ti Chen Xinglong learned the truth, he had been in Macau for three years.

In those three years, the opulent lifestyle made him lose himself, and the thought of leaving to return to that small house was utterly unacceptable to him.

So, he endured, waiting for an opportunity. Finally, half a year ago, the director passed away due to illness, leaving the family business to him.

And the once glamorous director's daughter was no longer so young and beautiful. With money in hand, Chen Xinglong naturally distanced himself from the childless woman and soon began an affair with another woman, spending money lavishly, eventually developing a gambling addiction.

Because of his excessive spending, he was eventually discovered by the woman at ho. With the investigations of private detectives, evidence was laid bare. Ultimately, the woman kicked Chen Xinglong out of the house. Such a man wasn't worth her love anymore, and besides, with money, it wasn't hard to attract young n.

Since he hadn't married the woman legally, being kicked out ant Chen Xinglong lost the luxurious life he had.

At this point, even the woman he t at the casino began to disdain him.

Reluctant to find himself empty-handed after twenty years of toil, he ntioned having a house in H City in hopes of persuading the woman back to him.

This was the real reason why Chen Xinglong insisted on coming back to sell the house.

Now, under the influence of that woman, he's accrued tens of thousands in gambling debt, making the house, originally Mrs. Chen's residence, sothing he had no choice but to sell.

"The first ti he ca back, he told my mom he wanted to sell the house, saying he needed money for a business venture. Just as he finished speaking and was about to leave, I ran into him just in ti. Otherwise, my mom might have agreed. I borrowed so money from Brother Fei to give him, hoping he'd leave. Who knew he... The second ti, which was today, he finally lost control, seeing talking hadn't worked, he started to smash things, leaving the house in a ss. Such a person, sotis I think it would have been better if he had died early on."

As she spoke of the past, Chen ngying had already beco teary-eyed.

Walking over gently, Xiaofan lightly patted Chen ngying's shoulder, offering comfort.

Chen ngying was truly exhausted and heartbroken. Why was her life so different from others'? Why didn't she have a happy childhood, an affectionate father, or even enough to cover her tuition fees?

Recalling the grievances over the years, Chen ngying wept in Xiaofan's arms.

Apart from her mother, perhaps this man was the only person she could rely on.

She couldn't be strong any longer; she couldn't hold on. Her outward resilience could no longer contain her inner fragility. She just wanted to cry in his arms for a while, not for long, just a mont, a short mont for herself. She wasn't greedy, she just needed a little ti.

The girl in his arms continued to sob heavily, and Xiaofan felt both the pain and warmth in his heart.

He had watched the plight of the old class leader over the years and knew how strong this girl had been to make it this far.

By giving her so money, he could undoubtedly improve their life, but they would never accept it. So, when Chen ngying helped out at Xiaofan's bar, he paid her extra, sotis even three to five tis more, to help ease their financial burden gradually.

Indeed, things went according to Xiaofan's plan.

Yet, who could have known that fate would still refuse to spare this poor mother and daughter? A man like Chen Xinglong deserved divine retribution.

Regarding what he had found out about Chen Xinglong, Xiaofan had no intention of telling Chen ngying, choosing to handle it himself quietly.

The sobbing girl seed to calm gradually, slowly stopping. By the ti Xiaofan noticed, she was already asleep in his embrace.

It was the first ti Xiaofan had looked at this girl so closely; her long eyelashes, her fair cheeks. Such a kind and gentle girl deserved to be cherished. Why did she have to suffer so much?

Gently, he moved Chen ngying to the bed, trying not to wake her...

"Mmm… Xiao, Xiaofan..."

"Shh, sleep, everything will be alright, trust ."

Despite Xiaofan's care, Chen ngying blinked awake, seeing Xiaofan still before her eyes, sweetness filled her heart again.

"Mmm..."

She responded sweetly, wishing the mont could last forever.

"Sleep well, good night..."

"..."

As Xiaofan was about to turn to leave, his hand was lightly grasped by Chen ngying's smooth little hand...

"Xiaofan... Thank you."

"Why be so polite? We're like family, aren't we?"

"Yeah, knowing you is really nice."

"Haha, sleep, or you'll have panda eyes tomorrow."

"Mmm..."
