âHeâd better not show up, then,â Nian Junting said coldly.
âWhat are you talking about? Do you wish that I didnât have a younger brother?â Luosang pinched his waist. He did not know, but every time Luosang saw him with Nian Xi, she was envious that he had a younger sister.
âNo, if your brother shows up and takes my place in your heart, you wonât spoil me anymore.â Nian Junting had a distant look in his eyes. âPromise me youâll spoil me for the rest of your life.â
âI never said such a thing.â Luosang blushed. Moreover, werenât these words to be said by women to men instead?
âYou agreed to my proposal. Isnât this what that entails?â Nian Junting asked.
â...â He must have gotten it the wrong way around.
âLetâs be clear, if your brother shows up, he can only take up five percent of your heart.â Nian Junting continued, âThe other 95 percent belongs to me.â
Luosang wanted to laugh. It had been a while since she last saw him behaving so unreasonably.
After getting into the car, Nian Junting started the engine. âLetâs go back to your apartment. Yan Su is at home, but youâve accepted my viewpoint from earlier.â
Luosang was startled. She was preparing to open the box of food Nian Junting had prepared for her. âWhen did I ever accept your viewpoint?â
âYou didnât refute my statement earlier. Doesnât that mean you agree?â Nian Junting raised his eyebrow.
âThat was regarding Yan Suâs matters, alright? You really think Iâm like you? Your skin must be thicker than the Great Wall of China.â Luosang was starting to get annoyed. She may have missed him dearly while he was away, but now she could barely stand the sight of him.
Nian Junting laughed. âI often tell my employees, one must be thick-skinned to be successful.â
âSorry that I wonât be successful, then. I must be such a burden.â Luosang gritted her teeth. âForget it, take me back to my apartment. I still have classes tomorrow morning. Your villa is too far away.â
Hearing this, Nian Junting was a little disappointed. âSo I came all the way in the middle of the night just to bring you food and take you home?â
âIsnât that enough?â Luosang glared at him. âOr did you do this just to get me between your sheets?â
âOf course not. Iâm not that shallow.â Nian Junting quickly averted his gaze, rectified his mood, and started the engine again.
âOh, yes. What about Miao Zheng?â Luosang asked. âHeâs all over the news. They say that he might have mental problems.â
âHeâs just trying to get through the legal loophole. Many wealthy people try to pull that trick. Rest assured, Iâve decided to press charges. He has no mental problems, he just has violent tendencies,â Nian Junting said. âPeople like him, just because they are wealthy, they donât treat women with respect. If he is not punished, many other innocent women will be hurt in the future.â
âHow likely is it that youâll win?â
âHis wife is willing to be a witness.â
Luosang was surprised. âHow did you manage to get his wifeâs support? Was she a victim of his violence as well?â
âVery possibly, but mainly because I told her that if Miao Zheng goes behind bars, the remaining shares of the Bingyang Group will go to her daughter.â Nian Junting chuckled. âShe agreed immediately.â
Luosang was speechless. People nowadays...âWhat about Yi Jingxi?â
âYi Jingxi is a little different from Miao Zheng. Miao Zhengâs misdoings have been witnessed by the public, and thereâs no doubt that heâs guilty. For Yi Jingxi, however, there is no compelling evidence, save for Zhong Yiâs testimony. It has already been a few months. Moreover, the evidence is long gone. I hear that Yi Jingxi will be making a trip down to An City to record a statement. Only then can we be sure of the duration of Zhong Yiâs sentence.â
