âNanyang, are you crazy? Since you know Jing Ning and Ye Qian are together, and Jing Ning doesnât love you anymore, then leave him. The Nan Family is declining, but they can still support you and your child. Youâre still the eldest daughter of the Nan family, so why are you doing this? Why waste your life in this meaningless fight?â Nanyang looked clever, but she was quite dumb.
Nanyang shook her head, and she forced a smile that was uglier than crying. âNanxing, you donât understand. You have no idea how much Iâve sacrificed for Jing Ning all these years. I donât deserve this ending after the things Iâve gone through. If I donât do this, Iâll feel sorry for myself.
âNanxing, I know you wonât stand there and watch my child die. But I need to tell you personally that even after I die, I will be grateful to you.â Then she turned and staggered away. She radiated a thick sense of despair and desperation.
My heart suddenly ached. She reminded me too much of Nanxing from my previous life.
âNanyang! Donât forget that youâre a mother now. You must be strong!â I shouted at her.
Nanyangâs back stiffened, but she didnât stop.
I felt a little uneasy. She was too much like me in my previous life.
I took out my phone and called Su Qian. âHelp me check on the Jing Family. Also, see how far Ye Qian has infiltrated into the Jing Family. Keep an eye on Nanyang. I think thereâs something wrong with her.â
I was worried that Nanyang would follow in my footsteps and choose the route of suicide with her child. However, she also said that sheâd entrust her child with me, so what was she trying to do?
I had no idea.
I returned to the dorm and shared the news with Mai Qi and Jing Ni.
âShe really entrusted her child to you?â The two of them said in unison. Then, they shook their heads together too. âYour prediction comes true too easily.â
I couldnât help but laugh. âYou two have already formed an alliance so quickly? Family is closer than friends after all.â
Jing Ni caught my implication. She glared at me fiercely and didnât say anything.
Mai Qi let out a long sigh. âNothing in this life has ever posed a problem to my brother before. To me, heâs like a God.
âI thought that I would have to live in his dazzling halo all my life. But a great woman had appeared. God fell in love, and he finally descended to the human world. Do you know who this great woman is?â
Mai Qi winked at me.
I patted her head. âWeâre talking business here!â
Mai Qi covered her head and laughed. âBut this is serious business! Ni Ni and I are going to be in-law, so I have to be on her side.â
This time, it was Jing Niâs turn to pat her head. âDonât be silly!â
âYes, Ni Ni!â Mai Qi submitted easily.
Jing Ni ignored her and asked me, âDid you promise Nanyang to take care of the child?â
I smiled wryly. âShe didnât really give me a choice!â
Both of them sighed.
âShe only dropped by to inform me. She didnât ask for my agreement or allow me to refuse.â I leaned back in my chair.
âSo she forced her child on you?â Mai Qi asked.
I nodded. This description was quite apt.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe Jing family wonât ignore her child. Even if Jing Ni and her parents might want to, Grandpa and Grandma Lan wonât agree. This is a human life weâre talking about,â Jing Ni said.
I nodded silently.
Mai Qi said, âIt sounds like Nanyang is preparing for some kind of ultimate move.â
I shook my head. âIt sounds like it, but I have no idea what. She said even after she dies, sheâll haunt Jing Ning and Ye Qian. I have to wonder if sheâs crazy enough to plan to seek revenge after sheâs dead.â
