Yan Suâs sallow face instantly turned ghastly pale. She raised her head, looked at the man who was standing under the bright light, looking like a ghost.
That was exactly why she didnât want to see him.
She was afraid of his harsh words.
âYouâre right. Iâm that kind of woman.â She smiled bitterly and said if she was careful, what was happening now would never happen. âThere. Are you happy?â
Mo Liuxi was so angry his heart ached.
He suddenly regretted coming here today. Their relationship was over, but he still came all the way here to be mean to her.
âIâm telling you, Shi Xiang isnât the babyâs father. Itâs someone else. Iâve slept with many guys but you. What can you do for me?â Yan Su was infuriated by his words.
âYou...â Mo Liuxi was shocked. âYou are... so filthy.â
âYouâre right. I am filthy. I am hypocritical. Donât try to tell me youâre clean. You slept with An Ning, didnât you? Weâre the same. We should stay away from each other.â Yan Su nodded, picked up her bag, turned and quickly went straight into the van by the courtyard gate.
Mo Liuxi was left standing alone in the yard with a lump in his throat.
He stood there like a statue until he heard Nian Juntingâs voice. âIf you want to cry, go cry on the outside. Donât make your sister worry.â
âWhoâs crying?â Mo Liuxi tried so hard to keep the tears from welling up in his eyes. âThe wind made my eyes sore. I think there is sand in my eyes. Your yard isnât clean.â
Nian Junting nodded slightly and said, âThe yard isnât clean. Youâre right. After all, Steward Wu only cleans it every day.â
Mo Liuxi didnât respond.
âSo?â Nian Junting raised his brows and said, âHow mean were you guys to each other?â
âHow did you know?â Mo Liuxi gave him a dirty look.
âI know because Iâve been there,â said Nian Junting blandly. âPeople say all kinds of awful things to each other when they break up. You shouldnât take those words too seriously. Many of them might not be true. Well, guys usually say mean words to attract girlsâ intention. You want her to care about you, even if she might hate you.â
Mo Liuxi stayed silent.
For the very first time, he was hearing some convincing arguments from Nian Junting.
âThank you. Youâre not such a shallow person.â
After saying that, he left.
Nian Junting looked at his back with discontent.
How dare that kid use the word âshallowâ about me? He deserves to be dumped.
...
Wednesday, eight in the morning.
Nian Xi drove to Jiang Yuningâs. She saw him from a distance.
They were going to court today. Jiang Yuning was wearing a black plaid double-breasted suit. His shirt and tie were neatly ironed. The black suit looked beautiful against his fair skin, making him look like an energetic, outstanding young man, even more glamorous than the morning sunshine.
Nian Xi had seen him wearing a suit back in France, but today he took her breath away when she saw his long legs and gorgeous face.
She drove up to him. Jiang Yuning got into the car with a big, sweet smile. âXi, morning.â
âMorning.â Nian Xi was affected by his beautiful smile. âYou look good today.â
Blushing, Jiang Yuning said, âDidnât you say that we need to appear in court as witnesses? We need to dress formally for that kind of occasion.â
âI found that you have a great taste,â Nian Xi said honestly. âIâve met quite a few scientists and most of them havenât got any fashion sense. They dress sort of old fashioned.â
âUncle Han picked out the suit for me.â Jiang Yuming felt shy hearing the compliment.
