Chapter 585: He Was Rarely So Serious, Unless There Was Something Important

“Grandpa is old, so he went home. It’s a little inconvenient for Dad to be in here, too.” Nian Xi glanced at Jiang Qifei, then continued, “Uncle is downstairs, taking care of Grandma. Someone from the Nian family should stay here.”
Nian Junting understood. Anyhow, Leng Shuangwei was completely innocent. She didn’t even know Zhong Yi. As a member of the armed police corp, risking her own life to protect civilians was her duty. But this time, the person that she had risked her life to save was a member of the Nian family.
Nian Xi sighed. “This was supposed to be a great day. I can’t believe all this has happened. I don’t know how Shuangwei will react when she wakes up. She is strong, but I doubt she can accept the fact that she’ll never be able to bear a child. That is really a nightmare for women.”
“Still, they can’t make me marry her,” Nian Junting said impatiently in a low voice.
“I guess Grandpa just felt that our family owes Uncle Leng,” Nian Xi said. “Uncle Leng got divorced because of what happened between our father and Aunty Jiang. Grandpa has been feeling sorry for Uncle Leng, as he thinks he has failed to educate his son well. And now, this happened. Shuangwei likes you the most, so he can’t possibly make our cousin marry her. So, with no other choice, he wants you to… Plus, Zhong Yi attacked Grandma tonight because of Sangsang. Now, the whole family thinks this happened because of you. Eh, you and Sangsang haven’t gotten married yet, but Grandpa already has an awful impression of her.”
“Our uncle is responsible for this, too. Miao Zheng was his guest, and Zhong Yi was with Miao Zheng,” said Nian Junting in a deep voice.
“The problem is, Zhong Yi called Sangsang’s name in front of so many people.” Nian Xi shook her head and said, “She’s such an evil woman. She did all this to herself, but in the end, she blames Sangsang for everything. She lives a miserable life now, so she’s tired of living, but still, she tried to drag Sangsang into her troubles and make the Nian family tear you two apart.”
“This is not so simple. There should be some other reasons,” said Nian Junting in a complicated tone. “Zhong Yi is no longer a star. Why did she destroy herself by trying to hurt Luosang? It’s not worthwhile for her to do so, unless her life is worse than nothing.”
Nian Xi paused briefly and said, “The police said that she’s been using drugs. Drug users tend to have drastic personality changes and mental problems.”
“Why would she suddenly start using drugs?” Nian Junting turned and asked, “Does it have something to do with Yi Jingxi?”
Nian Xi paused with a shudder of horror.
“I think the police will talk to Luosang later. You go and find her at her apartment,” Nian Junting said. “I’m a little worried about her.”
“What about you?” Nian Xi asked.
“I’ll stay here for now. Everyone believes that this happened because of me. If I’m absent on the first night, people’ll have even more complaints about me,” he said with a bitter smile.
“Don’t worry. Even though Grandpa wants you to marry Shuangwei, Mom will never agree. You marrying Shuangwei means that Mom and Jiang Qifei would become in-laws. I don’t even dare tell Mom about all this. I’m afraid that she’ll be so pissed off when she knows. This will be a protracted war that can’t possibly end in just a few days.” Nian Xi sighed, then left the hospital.
…
At midnight, Luosang finished work and came out of the recording studio.
“It’s the first time that Mr. Nian hasn’t come to pick you up.” Feng Cheng laughed.
Luosang was a little surprised, too. Earlier, Nian Junting said that he’d be free after the dinner party and that he’d come to pick her up. She guessed that something might have kept him.
“Tonight is his grandma’s birthday party.” While speaking, she took out her phone and saw Nian Junting’s message, then looked confused. She had rarely seen Nian Junting use such serious words, unless there was something important.
