Ye Chen was surprised when he heard this and couldn't help but ask her: "At that time in Northern Europe, you were accompanied by an old man. You called him grandpa in front of me, but he was actually an orphan raised by you, right?"
Lin Wan'er smiled slightly and said: "The old man the young master is talking about is called Lao Zhang. He was the last abandoned baby adopted by the slave family in Yanjing before leaving for the United States after the July 7th Incident."
After a pause, Lin Wan'er continued: "In fact, most of these children will start their own business with the help of the slave family after they are in their twenties. Some assets are said to be handed over to them to take care of, but in fact it is equivalent to being given by the slave family.
It’s a gift from them. Over the past two hundred years, they have given away an unknown amount of wealth.”
"Only a very small number of children like Lao Zhang, who have a very deep relationship with the slave family and are willing to stay with the slave family, will always be taken by the slave family. After all, the slave family is a female prostitute and has no means of self-defense. When they are running away, they also need someone.
Take care of you;"
"In addition to Lao Zhang, there was an American girl born in 1942 who also followed the slave family, but she died of cancer a few years ago."
"The owner of this house was adopted by the Nu family before the July 7th Incident. He was still an infant at that time. The Nu family later took him to the United States. He was admitted to Yale University in the United States. After graduation, I let him go
In Southeast Asia, he took over some of my properties there. Over the years, he has managed the business well and has become the richest man in the area;"
"The old grandson from Yanjing who helped the slave family find out a lot of information about the young master was also adopted by the slave family before the July 7th Incident. He had also been studying in the United States before. In 1963, he came back to build the motherland. He also developed very well in the following years."
At this point, Lin Wan'er paused slightly and then said: "After the slave family arrived in the United States, they also adopted several orphans in the United States. However, after the end of World War II, science and technology became more and more developed, and the strength of the Po Qing Society became stronger, so the slave family
I became much more cautious and spent decades traveling around some island countries in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. During this time, I didn’t dare to continue adopting. In the past few years, I traveled to Northern Europe, where I met the young master.”
After Ye Chen silently listened to Lin Wan'er's narration, his heart was filled with turmoil.
Lin Wan'er downplayed her experience of more than three hundred years, but in this understatement, she did not know how many thousands of miles of journeys and hardships were included, and how many times the world changed.
Thinking about it, her past three hundred years must have been extremely rough and full of hardships.
After Lin Wan'er said this, she saw Ye Chen was silent for a long time, so she smiled and asked, "Master, are you envious when you know that the slave family has lived for so long?"
Ye Chen looked at her, shook his head slightly, and said from the bottom of his heart: "I'm not envious, I even feel a little sad."
"Feeling distressed?" Lin Wan'er was startled and asked subconsciously: "Does the young master feel distressed for the slave family?"
"Yes" Ye Chen looked at her and nodded slightly.
Lin Wan'er's eyes heated up, she quickly turned away, and said with a forced smile: "What is there to feel sorry for about the slave family? If the slave family's story were told to outsiders, I don't know how many people would be envious of it."
Having said that, even though she looked up at the ceiling, tears still burst out of her eyes uncontrollably and flowed down her cheeks.
Lin Wan'er hurriedly wiped away her tears, her eyes sparkling with tears, but she asked Ye Chen with a smile: "By the way, why does the young master care about the Nu family?"
Ye Chen sighed with emotion: "Although I have not achieved immortality, I am already terrified when I think that I may live to be two hundred years old. Now I hear you say that you, a little girl, have lived alone in this changing world.
It has been nearly four hundred years, and it has been the most turbulent four hundred years of human society. I don’t know how much displacement and pain and suffering I have experienced during this period. It is really heartbreaking to think about it."
At this moment, Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen and just wanted to cry in front of him.
For more than three hundred years, she had never been happy that she had immortality. On the contrary, she had long been tired of this kind of hiding life.
