âJunting...â
Leng Shuangwei looked at Nian Junting and said, âIâm not asking you to pretend it didnât happen. My mother did something wrong, and she will go to prison if she needs to. But, please donât sue her for murder. She is my mother. She is an awful person, but still, she is my mother. Please, donât do it. Just... think of it as payback for me, for saving your grandma.â
She was too proud to mention that she had saved his grandma. After all, it was her duty to save people. Saying that out loud might seem like she was disgracing herself. But she had to mention it.
Nian Junting raised his eyes coldly. He stared at Jiang Qifei for half a minute, then finally started talking.
âAlright, I wonât sue her. But you have to promise me that from now on, your mother will stay as far away from us as possible, and that sheâll never show up and act like a crazy woman. To be honest, if my baby had died today, or if something bad had happened to Luosang, Iâd make her wish for death.â
He stood up, his face filled with anger and cruelty. âIâll be honest with you. If you canât restrain your mother, disown her as soon as you can. Donât let her become your problem.â
Jiang Qifei looked at Leng Shuangwei with both fear and concern.
âShuangwei, please donât abandon me. Youâre all I have. If even you abandoned me, I think I would just die.â
She burst into tears again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI promise Iâll never do anything like that again. It was a spur of the moment thing. I got angry when I saw Xu Luosang, but, I never wanted to hurt her.â
Leng Shuangwei smiled bitterly and said, âI get it. Junting, Nian Xi, thank you both.â
âIâll take off then,â Nian Junting said and walked outside.
Jiang Qifei made him sick.
âShuangwei, I donât want to go to prison. Can I not go to prison?â Jiang Qifei looked at Nian Xi and begged.
Leng Shuangwei frowned and said, âIf youâre afraid of going to prison, you shouldnât hurt people. Liao Qiulong hasnât shown up yet. I think you can give up on him now. Divorce him when youâre released after serving your sentence, then come and live with me. Iâll keep an eye on you, in case you hook up with some other guy.â
...
On his way back, Nian Junting got a call from Nian Qingyun, âWhat was going on just now?â
âLike what you heard?â Nian Junting asked, sounding careless.
On the other end of the phone, Nian Qingyun breathed heavily for a while, then said through clenched teeth, âI was so blind.â
âYou finally realized that.â Nian Junting snorted scornfully.
Nian Qingyun was so angry that he nearly passed out. When he had heard what Jiang Qifei said through the phone, he trembled with anger.
He regretted what he did so much that he couldnât even sleep sometimes.
However, he had never blamed anyone but himself.
But recently, Jiang Qifei renewed his thoughts over and over again.
He didnât thoroughly realize how shameless that woman was until that day.
âI never seduced her,â Nian Qingyun said, horrified. âI never gave her any gift or promised to marry her.â
âAlright, donât tell me about those shitty details.â Nian Junting snapped.
Nian Qingyun gave a long sigh, then said earnestly, âJunting, you need to help me. I canât forget your mother. Donât you want us to be a happy family again like we used to be? I promise that Iâll be so nice to her. I wonât be like before.â
âLike before? You canât be like before even if you want to, right? Youâre so old. Can you still do that?â
