âSo, her husband is a really good man. She cheated on him, yet he still treated her so well.â Luo Sang strongly disliked people who were lucky but never cherished what they had. That woman named Jiang Qifei seemed to be a greedy woman.
âYeah, Uncle Leng is the best man Iâve ever seen.â Nian Xi nodded and said, âHeâs a little dull and doesnât understand the romantic stuff, but heâs really nice to his wife and daughter. His family and mine were neighbors. They have moved away now, and Uncle Leng never talked to my father again.â
Luo Sang understood. Anyone would have done the same.
âI think my dad deserved it. He had such a great wife and friend, yet he didnât appreciate them.â Nian Xi sneered and continued, âNow, he wants so much to make up with my mother. He wants my brother and me to help, but we absolutely refuse. He didnât just trample upon years of marriage with my mother, but he also hurt my momâs dignity. Seriously, if he wanted something new, he could have done it with some other woman. If he had done that, my mom would have been hurt, but not so badly. Why did he cheat on my mom with her best friend? That was like stabbing a dagger right into her heart.â
âYour mother canât get back with a man like that. No matter how long it has been, some severe harm can never be forgotten.â Luo Sang agreed.
âBut heâs our father, after all.â Nian Xi smiled bitterly. âBefore, my brother and I barely talked to him. But over the past few years, for the sake of our grandparents, weâre trying to let it go. However, no matter what, I canât talk to him like I used to.â
Luo Sang patted the back of Nian Xiâs hand to comfort her. Suddenly, she felt sorry for Nian Junting. No wonder he had a weird look on his face when he had said that there were few good men in this world.
âWhat about Leng Shuangwei?â Luo Sang asked. âJudging by what that woman just said, her daughter seems to still be in touch with you.â
âUm, sort of.â Nian Xi looked ahead, blinking. âWe grew up together. Weâre friends, and sheâs a nice person. However, we donât tell each other everything like we used to. Now, we only give each other good wishes during the holidays. My father and her mother had an affair, after all. Both of them need to take responsibility for that. We canât just blame them, and theyâre the same. Two perfect families were ruined, so we donât want to see each other, or bad memories will cross our minds.â
Luo Sang looked at her and stayed silent for a moment. A strange thought popped up in her mind. After a short silence, Luo Sang couldnât help but ask, âSheâs not your brotherâs ex-girlfriend, is she?â
Nian Xi slammed on her brake. The tires rubbed against the ground, causing a long, shrill noise.
The driver of the car behind them cursed angrily, âCan you even drive!? Psychopath!â
Nian Xi hurriedly restarted the car.
Luo Sang blinked and laughed, saying, âYou donât need to overreact like that, even if I guessed right.â
Nian Xi glanced back at her and stuttered, âI... I was just, too surprised. Youâre... youâre too good. How could you even guess that? Did my brother tell you something?â
âNo, just girlsâ intuition.â Luo Sang smiled but felt a little heavy-hearted. Somehow, she was a little uncomfortable. âAlso, I noticed that earlier, when mentioning her daughter, you had a strange look on your face, and you paused slightly.â
