“Your past built the present you, but it shouldn’t be a shackle for your future.” A peerless assassin, codename Hua, received her last big mission after nearly died in an avalanche. Everyone knew that the Nan Family had a long missing daughter who only recently returned. She was raised in the village and didn’t have common sense of the nobility daughter, inviting mockery all over the Green Planet. Hearing various jokes about this daughter, they only shook their head and feel that she was not worthy of the Nan Family. However… Those who bullied her were bullied back by others suddenly. Those who wanted to hurt her suddenly got oppressed. Those who tried to harm her fell unlucky and got hurt instead. Nan Hua watched this all with an innocent look. They didn’t know that the one who put them in this predicament is precisely the unsightly young miss they looked down upon. Everything was doing well, but why did her supposed indifferent fiancé paid so much attention to her? Shouldn’t he just focus on the examination and his career in the military? A while later, Nan Hua saw Long Qian Xing staring at her gently and smiled back. ... Story set in fictional world with some advanced technology.

Quarrel
Silence.
Nan Hua looked at Mrs. Nan from the corner of her eyes, but her head keep lowered. She felt that this Mrs. Nan was quite stupid at times. It was clear that the Nan Family treated their new daughter well, but Mrs. Nan just had to hit the gun at this time.
Very stupid.
Nan Hai Yan looked at Mrs. Nan and his eyes narrowed. "I want to give food to my daughter, do you have problem with it?"
"I just say that she's not a child anymore." Mrs. Nan was dissatisfied.
"Lin Mei Yu," Old Master Nan called. Mrs. Nan's name was Lin Mei Yu, but she had rarely used this name again after marriage. People would call her as Mrs. Nan more often than her real name.
Mrs. Nan, Lin Mei Yu, looked at Old Master Nan with a frown, but she didn't dare to speak anything right now. The aura around Old Master Nan and Nan Hai Yan were truly terrifying.
Beside her, Nan Xian Mu also lowered his head, trying to erase his presence.
Whenever his grandfather and father got angry… whoever made them angry would never end well.
"Nan Hua is part of the Nan Family. You just have to remember that," Old Master Nan said in a low voice, his tone was filled with warning.
Lin Mei Yu wanted to speak more, but in the end, she shut her mouth. Even though there were dissatisfaction within her eyes, she didn't dare to say anything and silently ate the food in front of her.
Nan Hai Yan looked at this wife of his whom he was not close to and then turned to look at Nan Hua. His daughter lowered her head, just like his second son. The two of them were really timid, totally unlike his brash and courageous first son.
He took a deep breath.
"Eat more, Hua'er. After this, I'll teach you some of the basic moves that can help you to increase your physical strength faster."
Nan Hua nodded and replied, "Yes, Father."
"As for your exams," Nan Hai Yan paused for a moment. He had heard of Nan Hua's disastrous results but she still wanted to enter the military academy. "You don't have to worry. You can stay in the academy until you're 20 years old. You have just had your 17th birthday last week, so there's no hurry."
Nan Hua hummed in a low voice.
Lin Mei Yu watched Nan Hai Yan treating Nan Hua so well and once again felt anger. "You say it's fine for her to fail, but you seem to be beating up your sons when they fail the exams. Do you need to be so biased?"
Nan Hai Yan looked at Lin Mei Yu and frowned. "Xian Yu is my successor, so my treatment towards him is strict. Hua'er is my daughter and can live well for her entire life without the need to worry about anything, so I don't have to be so strict with her."
Live well for her entire life without the need to worry about anything.
If the real Nan Hua had stayed in the Nan Family and never gone missing that year, it was indeed the most appropriate sentence.
Nan Hua's eyes flashed slightly while her head remained lowered. There was no emotion on her face, only indifference. That kind of life would be impossible.
"Am I not being strict with them for their own good?" Lin Mei Yu also had her temper. She was someone who stood at the top of the chain in the business world. How could she bear being reprimanded like this?
Beside her, Nan Xian Mu also felt a bit jealous that Nan Hua didn't need to learn well. But thinking about it from another perspective, he was the heir of his mother's business while his older brother was the heir of their father's line of work.
There was nothing wrong with Nan Hua being the idle lady, only need to cheer for them on the back and her life would be well.
He also hoped that his sister would be able to live well.
"Children are not tools, Lin Mei Yu." Nan Hai Yan looked at Lin Mei Yu with a bit of disgust. "Don't make me remind you of our agreement at that time."
Agreement?
Neither Nan Hua nor Nan Xian Mu knew what their father talking about. However, Lin Mei Yu's face turned pale and her body shook.
Bang!
She slammed the chair and strode out in anger.
Old Master Nan looked at Lin Mei Yu's back and waved his hand to the butler. "Lin Mei Yu will stay in Lin Family Residence for the next week. Tell her family this."
"Yes, Old Master."
