Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle Chapter 470 - Good Friends

Chapter 470: Good Friends
Translator: Lonelytree
After tormenting myself at night, I would help Mai Qi and Jing Ni during the day. However, most of the time, they didn’t need me to do anything. I would lean on the recliner and rest. Sometimes, I would fall asleep, but due to what happened, my sleep was never fulfilling.
“She can’t go on like this.” Jing Ni’s voice was filled with worry.
“If Jing Tian forgets her in the future, I’ll cut him to pieces!” Mai Qi said hatefully.!!
I moved my fingers, too lazy to open my eyes.
Jing Ni sighed. “There is nothing we can do but watch. Mai Qi, every time I see her like this, my heart aches.”
“Yes, Tong Le has been crying too, but he won’t say anything.” Mai Qi lowered her voice too.
“Qu Hao and Du Heng are closing the net. We should be catching up.” Jing Ni said.
“Honestly, I don’t want this to end. Once this is over, Nanxing will have to leave. I can’t bear to part with her.” Mai Qi sobbed quietly.
“Mai Qi, don’t be like this. It’ll make Nanxing sad. Plus, even if she goes to the ends of the earth, we can still visit her. No matter how things go with Master Qi, we’ll be her good friends. Like Ma Ji said, fate will decide everything.”
Jing Ni really had matured. People had to experience many things to grow up.
In my previous life, Jing Ni committed suicide the second year Jing Ning gifted her to a wealthy merchant at the capital. Now, Jing Ni had a brand new life. She was living the life she should. She was independent and strong. People admired her.
I fell asleep in a daze. This sleep was deeper, sweeter, and dreamless than before. Perhaps because it was, I knew the deadline was coming.
When I woke up, I was wearing a coat. It was my little uncle’s.
I turned around and saw him sitting in Mai Qi’s seat, reading a book. I glanced around the room. “Where are Jing Ni and Mai Qi?”
I asked him in a slightly hoarse voice.
My uncle looked up and put down the book. “You’re awake? I told them to go eat. There’s no need to keep on watching anymore. The enemy is doomed. They won’t be able to struggle for long.”
I glanced at Jing Ni’s computer and nodded. I slightly adjusted my posture. I was too lazy to get up.
“Have you found my eldest uncle?” I asked.
My uncle shook his head and smiled bitterly. “If he’s alive and doesn’t want to be found, there’s no way I can find him.”
I remained silent. “Is Tong Yan related to them? Are you hiding something from me?”
My little uncle looked at me with a complicated expression. “Are you blaming me for being so kind to Tong Lin and Tong Yan?”
I nodded. “Because it doesn’t make sense.”
My uncle leaned against the back of his chair and crossed his arms as he looked elsewhere. He sighed softly. “It’s because I hope they are still alive. Nanxing, I hope your parents are still alive. It would be great if none of this happened.”
I looked at my little uncle. After more than ten years of fighting, he was a warrior with a heart of steel. It was rare for him to have such a weak moment. However, I knew his heart of steel had a bloody hole. The hole was formed when his family was taken away from him, a family that he couldn’t find anymore.
I slid close to him. I placed my hand on his uncle. “Little uncle, this is not your fault. Even if you were there, what could you do? You’d be another casualty.. Then who would come to save me and help me now? Stop troubling yourself over unrealistic dreams, okay? If you continue to act like this, I won’t feel comfortable leaving. Do you want me to worry about you constantly even after I leave?”
