“So, her husband is a really good man. She cheated on him, yet he still treated her so well.” Luo Sang strongly disliked people who were lucky but never cherished what they had. That woman named Jiang Qifei seemed to be a greedy woman.
“Yeah, Uncle Leng is the best man I’ve ever seen.” Nian Xi nodded and said, “He’s a little dull and doesn’t understand the romantic stuff, but he’s really nice to his wife and daughter. His family and mine were neighbors. They have moved away now, and Uncle Leng never talked to my father again.”
Luo Sang understood. Anyone would have done the same.
“I think my dad deserved it. He had such a great wife and friend, yet he didn’t appreciate them.” Nian Xi sneered and continued, “Now, he wants so much to make up with my mother. He wants my brother and me to help, but we absolutely refuse. He didn’t just trample upon years of marriage with my mother, but he also hurt my mom’s dignity. Seriously, if he wanted something new, he could have done it with some other woman. If he had done that, my mom would have been hurt, but not so badly. Why did he cheat on my mom with her best friend? That was like stabbing a dagger right into her heart.”
“Your mother can’t get back with a man like that. No matter how long it has been, some severe harm can never be forgotten.” Luo Sang agreed.
“But he’s our father, after all.” Nian Xi smiled bitterly. “Before, my brother and I barely talked to him. But over the past few years, for the sake of our grandparents, we’re trying to let it go. However, no matter what, I can’t talk to him like I used to.”
Luo Sang patted the back of Nian Xi’s hand to fort her. Suddenly, she felt sorry for Nian Junting. No wonder he had a weird look on his face when he had said that there were few good men in this world.
“What about Leng Shuangwei?” Luo Sang asked. “Judging by what that woman just said, her daughter seems to still be in touch with you.”
“Um, sort of.” Nian Xi looked ahead, blinking. “We grew up together. We’re friends, and she’s a nice person. However, we don’t tell each other everything like we used to. Now, we only give each other good wishes during the holidays. My father and her mother had an affair, after all. Both of them need to take responsibility for that. We can’t just blame them, and they’re the same. Two perfect families were ruined, so we don’t want to see each other, or bad memories will cross our minds.”
Luo Sang looked at her and stayed silent for a moment. A strange thought popped up in her mind. After a short silence, Luo Sang couldn’t help but ask, “She’s not your brother’s ex-girlfriend, is she?”
Nian Xi slammed on her brake. The tires rubbed against the ground, causing a long, shrill noise.
The driver of the car behind them cursed angrily, “Can you even drive!? Psychopath!”
Nian Xi hurriedly restarted the car.
Luo Sang blinked and laughed, saying, “You don’t need to overreact like that, even if I guessed right.”
Nian Xi glanced back at her and stuttered, “I… I was just, too surprised. You’re… you’re too good. How could you even guess that? Did my brother tell you something?”
“No, just girls’ intuition.” Luo Sang smiled but felt a little heavy-hearted. Somehow, she was a little unfortable. “Also, I noticed that earlier, when mentioning her daughter, you had a strange look on your face, and you paused slightly.”
