Murong Cheng was getting angry. “He’s fine now,” she said. “Your brother told me that he’s on his way back, and Xiao Si is with him. He’ll arrive in about two days.”
“What if something did happen to him? Would you still watch me shopping for clothes and makeup, without telling me anything?” Nian Xi bit her lips with tears in her eyes. “I’m done. You continue.” She threw the shirt in her hand away and left grumpily.
Murong Cheng’s face grew pale with anger.
“Ms. Murong, I’ll go with her,” Luo Sang said hurriedly to Murong Cheng. “Don’t worry, she’ll be fine.”
Murong Cheng waved her hand and said, “Sangsang, thank you. She really doesn’t know how I feel.” After Luo Sang left, she glanced coldly at Jiang Qifei, saying, “You’re great. You sowed discord between me and my daughter with just a few simple words.”
“How could I know that you had kept it secret from Nian Xi?” Jiang Qifei wore an apologetic expression and said, “Cheng, I’m really sorry for what happened before. I’ve realized that I was deeply wrong.”
“Why didn’t you feel sorry when you were with Nian Qingyun?” Murong Cheng said resentfully, then picked up her bag and quickly left.
Downstairs, Luo Sang finally caught up with Nian Xi, who was walking as fast as a gust of wind. “Xi, I understand that you’re angry with your mother and brother, but they really care about you. Maybe you don’t know it yet, but Ji Chuan was injured at the border of China and India. It’s a war zone. You need to go through snowy mountains to get there. You’re a police officer, but you still wouldn’t be able to get there. You’d know if you saw your brother. He has lost quite a bit of weight during this trip.”
“Sangsang, you knew it all along, didn’t you?” Nian Xi turned around and looked at her.
Luo Sang frowned. A moment later she replied, “Xi, in fact, I’m really jealous of you. You have a mother who cares about you and a brother. Your mother always talks straightforwardly to you. Sometimes her words are even mean, but you have no idea how jealous I am of you for having her and Junting. You may think that he’s hateful sometimes, but once you suffer any injustice out there, he’ll be angrier than anyone else. They might be wrong, but they did what they did to keep you safe. And please don’t worry, Ji Chuan is truly safe now.”
Hearing her, the look on Nian Xi’s face improved slightly. However, she still couldn’t stop worrying. “How did he get hurt?” she asked.
“I heard that he got hurt during a mission. The details are confidential, so I don’t know.” Luo Sang shook her head.
Nian Xi pressed her lips together. A while later, she said to Luo Sang, “I’ll drive you back.”
“It’s alright, I’ll take a taxi back,” said Luo Sang.
“Let’s go. Ji Chuan isn’t back, anyway. I have nothing else to do but wait at home.” Nian Xi sighed with concern.
On their way back, the atmosphere was a little depressed. Luo Sang was thinking about the woman who showed up at the shopping mall. She wanted to ask Nian Xi about her but didn’t know how.
At last, Nian Xi brought it up. “Are you curious about that woman?”
“Everyone has their own secrets,” Luo Sang responded politely.
“You’ll marry my brother sooner or later, so you’ll find out eventually.” Nian Xi sighed and said, “It’s an ugly family story. Because of her, my parents left each other, and my family broke apart.”
As I thought, Luo Sang said to herself.
“You don’t seem to be surprised at all.” Nian Xi gave a bitter smile and continued, “It was a disaster for two families. The woman you saw just now used to be my mother’s best friend. During that time, my mother met my father. Not long after they got together, my mother found that my father’s good friend, Uncle Leng, was a very good man. Uncle Leng and my father had been friends since they were little. My mother introduced Uncle Leng and Aunty Jiang to each other. At last, she and her best friend married my father and Uncle Leng, who were good friends as well. They even had their weddings together.
