On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

When Deng Xu lived in the imperial capital, he often went to an elegant little shop in the south of the city.

This restaurant is located in the suburbs, with several universities nearby. It is a very popular restaurant in the area.

The store is decorated in a quaint style, with many old objects from the last century piled up on the bar, including tumblers, pendulum clocks, phonographs, and bicycle models. Among a pile of everlasting flowers and under the dim light, it seems as if you have returned to the last century, full of memories.

Deng Xu likes to come to this store in the afternoon, avoiding meal times, because there are no customers in the store at this time and it is very quiet.

Order a cup of coffee, a portion of fried chicken, and a bowl of fried noodles, and enjoy the quiet afternoon leisurely.

Deng Xu pushed the door open and the wind chimes on the door jingled, waking up the proprietress who was taking a nap at the bar.

The proprietress has a slim figure and wears a long skirt with a slit, which makes her look even more charming and graceful.

She heard someone coming at this time and looked towards the door with surprise.

When she saw who was coming clearly, the light in her eyes became brighter, her red lips pulled into a brilliant smile, and she hurried out from the bar to greet him.

"Mr. Deng, you're here! You haven't been here for a long time. I thought you had changed your taste! You don't like it here anymore!"

The proprietress was very enthusiastic and immediately led Deng Xu to his old seat.

The seats are next to the windows, but in order to create a dim and nostalgic atmosphere in the store, the windows have been sealed and hang a retro oil painting of two chubby little angels flying in the colorful sunset.

Whenever Deng Xu saw this painting, he felt as if he was flying in a sky full of rosy clouds and felt extremely relaxed.

The proprietress was unusually enthusiastic today, asking endless questions like an old friend meeting after a long absence.

"Where have you been, Mr. Deng? Why haven't you come over? Have you not had a good rest recently? You don't look well!"

"What do you want to eat today? Coffee again? If you don't get enough rest, it's best not to drink coffee. Have a cup of sago instead. It's a new product in the store and it tastes really good."

Although the proprietress was enthusiastic, Deng Xu thought she was noisy.

He came here just to find some peace and quiet.

There was a hint of displeasure in Deng Xu's eyes, and he said "hmm" lightly.

The proprietress welcomes and sees off guests every day. She is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Seeing that Deng Xu was already impatient, she quickly said something and went to the kitchen to prepare.

"It's still the same old rules, I understand!"

Deng Xu didn't look back, he lowered his eyes and said, "I want two today."

The proprietress's back paused slightly.

Deng Xu has come here so many times, always alone. Why did he bring someone else today?

The proprietress became uneasy and turned around to glance at Deng Xu secretly.

He doesn't have a girlfriend, does he?

Also.

He is so handsome that even she can't help but be attracted to him. How could he possibly be short of a girlfriend?

When Jiangnan came over, the fried chicken and coffee ordered by Deng Xu were already cold.

Deng Xu was not angry because of Jiangnan's lateness. Instead, he looked confident that he had expected him to come. As soon as Jiangnan entered the door, he asked him to sit down and taste the coffee here.

Jiangnan didn't come here to eat. He sat on a chair, staring at Deng Xu, who was eating fried chicken leisurely and enjoying it across from him.

"What do you want me to do?" Jiangnan's voice was cold and hostile.

Deng Xu waved his hand, "Don't worry, try it! The fried chicken here is especially delicious."

Deng Xu pushed a portion of fried chicken in front of Jiangnan, who pushed it away, "Enough! If you have something to say, just say it!"

Jiangnan came here after a lot of mental struggle.

If he had a choice, he never wanted to see Deng Xu again in his life.

Do not!

If he really had a choice, he would rather not know Deng Xu's existence for the rest of his life.

When Deng Xu saw the fried chicken in the small bamboo basket being overturned by Jiangnan, his eyes changed, and then he chuckled, picked up the fried chicken and put it in his mouth.

"You know what? When I was little, I envied those kids who had fried chicken, burgers, and snacks to eat the most!"

"Every time an adoptive family comes to the orphanage, they bring a lot of delicious food! But the director always locks me up, and I can only lie in the crack of the door, watching those children share snacks and eat with smiles and happiness on their faces, while I hide in the room alone and drool!"

"Once a couple came to the orphanage. Their family owned a coffee shop! They brought a lot of fried chicken, coffee and burgers. I could only lie on my back through the crack in the door and watch, smelling the rich aroma of coffee and imagining that I could taste it myself!"

"Later, my companions told me that the drink called coffee was very delicious, bitter and sweet like chocolate, and also had a milky flavor. I was very curious, what kind of taste was that?"

"Later, I smelled this smell in the dean's office. There was a piece of fried chicken on the table. I really wanted to know what it smelled like. I was hungry, so I couldn't help but picked up the cup, grabbed the fried chicken and started eating..."

Deng Xu closed his eyes, looking as if he was savoring the moment.

"I grew up in an orphanage, I often didn't have enough to eat and was beaten. That was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. I still can't forget the taste."

"Unfortunately, I had just taken a bite when the dean came back and saw me stealing his food. He beat me up and I couldn't get out of bed for several days! I swore at that time that when I grew up and could make money, I would drink coffee and eat fried chicken every day!"

Deng Xu suddenly opened his eyes, moved closer to Jiangnan, and spoke word by word.

"I also want to... kill the dean!"

Jiangnan's lips suddenly tightened, and his voice was low and hoarse, "You killed him?"

Deng Xu smiled and did not answer Jiangnan's question, but he looked like he had avenged himself, as if he had already answered Jiangnan.

"What exactly do you want from me?" A feeling of disgust rose from Jiangnan's heart. He didn't want to sit with a murderer.

Makes him sick.

However, what disgusted Jiangnan even more was that he actually shared the same blood with this scum.

Deng Xu picked up the coffee cup and sniffed it with enjoyment. "You won't understand. You have been living a life of luxury since you were a child. How can you know what it feels like to be hungry?"

Deng Xu raised his glass to Jiang Nan, "We are both illegitimate children, but we have completely different lives! Is this fair, my good brother?"

Jiangnan clenched his fist tightly and gritted his teeth, "Don't call me brother!"

Deng Xu chuckled. "Since you came back and didn't betray me, it means you have already acknowledged me as your brother! What? Do you think I've embarrassed you now? Have you lost face in front of others?"

Deng Xu's voice gradually became colder, his eyes dark, "Don't forget, ever since you hid something from me, you have become the same kind as me!"

"You think I'm bad, but I've never been treated well by this world! My biological mother threw me in an orphanage just because the director knew I wasn't an orphan, but I was abandoned in the orphanage and abused since I was a child!"

Deng Xu pointed at himself excitedly, "That woman found a good place for you, but left me to suffer in this devil's den where I was hungry and cold!"

Jiangnan curled his fingers together tightly, trying to suppress the emotions surging in his heart, "Where is she? When can I see her?"

Deng Xu smiled, his smile was ironic and contemptuous, "What a good brother who cares about family affection!"
