Chapter 743: Chapter 743 - I’m About to Have a Powerful Mother-In-Law?

Yi Jingxi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. His handsome face appeared contorted. “Even if I’m going to sell it, I won’t sell it to you.” He took off after saying that.

Nian Junting grinned as he watched his angry strides.

Mr. Fang spat at Yi Jingxi’s shadow. “Who does he think he is? How dare he say that after stealing Miss Xu’s company. If I had known about this earlier, I would have never worked with him.”

“Yeah, he’s a disgrace to all the men out there.” Nian Junting smiled. “You all go ahead to the restaurant. I’ll go get my girlfriend. I’m buying!”

...

The keys opened to the suite, and when Nian Junting stepped in, he could see Luosang curled up on the window seat. She appeared to be deep in her thoughts. When she heard the door unlock, she didn’t even turn to look. She was deeply focused on something else.

Nian Junting frowned and glared at Lu Kang. “What happened now?”

Lu Kang grimaced. “Miss Xu has been this way ever since she talked to Zeng Zhun. I was standing a few feet away...”

“What else did you do apart from standing a few feet away?” Nian Junting questioned him harshly.

“...” Lu Kang was helpless. “Miss Xu told me to walk away, since she said it would help build rapport with Zeng Zhun. I overheard some bits about her mother, and I think he said something about the fact that Miss Xu’s mother is an important person...”

Nian Junting’s gaze froze, his glare even more piercing now. “So before I take care of my father-in-law’s business, I’m about to have a powerful mother-in-law?” If his mother-in-law was too powerful, he could appear small and useless.

“Um... I think you better ask Miss Xu about this,” Lu Kang said.

Nian Junting paused in thought for a moment before walking over to Luosang. “Luo, you can tell me what’s on your mind. Is it about our mother? I heard that she’s a powerful person...”

Luosang, who was already feeling terrible, now began to sob. Our mother... She wondered if Mo Jin would beat him to death if she heard him.

“My mother came looking for me before,” Luosang told Nian Junting about what Yi Jingxi had done. The more she talked about it, the more she burrowed herself in his chest. “Junting, I grew up without a mother, and I was always so envious of my peers who had mothers that accompanied them throughout childhood. I often cried over this when I was young as I watched my friends go shopping with their mothers. Although my father treated me well, some things weren’t the same without my mother. But Yi Jingxi... he snuffed out the opportunity for us to reunite.”

She couldn’t help but sob. “I want to see my mother. I miss her so much, and I want to tell her that I don’t blame her for what happened. She didn’t do anything wrong back then.”

“Don’t cry anymore.” Nian Junting wiped away her tears gently. He had hardly ever seen her cry like this before. “I’ll help you look for her, and I will definitely make sure that your reunion happens.”

“But all the evidence was erased. How are you going to find her?” Luosang said in defeat. “She didn’t even come looking for me back when the news of my father was all over the place. She’s probably not in the country.”

“There are bound to be clues left behind.” Nian Junting hugged her tightly and comforted her with a whisper. “I promise—by the time we get married, I’ll have found your mother for you.”
