Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Blood ran down her face.

She panicked, like someone who had done something wrong.

“Answer my question,” Yi Jingxi yelled. She rushed over and dragged her up from the ground.

Tears burst out of his eyes as he said, “Have you been lying to me all this time?”

“I’m sorry, Jingxi,” Chu Lei finally raised her head. She helplessly held his hands, organizing her words with difficulty. She started crying when the first word escaped her lips.

“Your father died. I was afraid that I might lose that, that you might hate me. So I lied to you.”

Chu Lei’s eyes showed panic, guilt and fear, “That’s a lie. Back then, I only wanted to make up a small lie. I didn’t know that you’d care so much about your father’s death, that you’d keep it in your mind, and that you’d try everything you could to get revenge on Xu Zhengxuan. I’ve talked to you. I tried to persuade you to give up, but you wouldn’t listen to me. I have been so scared all these years. I didn’t dare to see you. I lived in the nursing house alone. I was trying to atone for my crime. Jingxi, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

“So, Xu Zhengxuan never touched you,” Yi Jingxi shook off her hands. He trembled, as if he had lost control of his own body. “That’s only a small lie to you, but to me…”

He slapped his own chest, feeling waves of despair that drove him to the verge of collapsing. “You have destroyed me. My entire life is ruined by this so-called small lie of yours.”

He yelled.

He made a step backward, then kneeled on the ground.

He had spent his entire life seeking revenge.

He framed Xu Zhengxuan, and got close to Luosang.

She liked him, and he made use of that.

He got close to her step by step, and also fell in love with her step by step. But still, he sent Xu Zhengxuan to prison, for the sake of revenge.

They got engaged, and he buried the happiness he was holding in his hands.

God knew how hard his heart ached when he had to hurt her. It was like piercing a knife into his own body.

He hurt her, and also hurt himself.

Once and once again, he hurt Luosang with lowly actions.

He forced away the girl he loved over and over again.

He sent her to another man.

They fell in love, and they had a child.

He lay on the ground and bawled.

He lost the person that he loved the most. He was crippled with despair.

“Jingxi…” Chu Lei tried to touch his hand.

“Go away!” Yi Jingxi pushed her away, stood up and said, “I won’t have a mother like you.”

“Jingxi, don’t leave me. You’re all I have,” Chu Lei looked at him with despair.

“Yeah, I’m all you have, but you watched me make more and more mistakes. How do you expect me to atone for it?”

Yi Jingxi laughed and cried, “If you had told me earlier, I’d marry Sangsang, and we’d have so many children. But now, I have nothing but my bad reputation. I’m going to prison soon. I’m going to prison. Now are you happy?”

After saying that, he turned, and shambled out.

Chu Lei tried to follow him, but staggered after just a few steps, because she had lost so much blood.

Mo Jin walked over, and said, “Chu Lei, I don’t know all the details, but I can guess some. You have really destroyed your son. He has no way back now. If you really want him to be good, just tell him to turn himself in. Don’t let him repeat his mistake.”

This time, she didn’t try to hurt Chu Lei.

That woman was probably going to spend the rest of her life in regret.

For that so-called small like, her daughter had suffered so much pain.

…

Tianhu Villa.

Nian Junting was having breakfast with Luosang. An Lan drove over, and said, “Does Yi Jingxi have a problem? The courthouse learned that he has already been discharged from the hospital, so they tried to inform him to show up in court next week. But he didn’t answer the calls.”

Nian Junting and Luosang glanced at each other. Nian Junting said, “The courthouse has summoned him, so he can’t possibly run away. If he didn’t show up for the trial, he’d be considered admitting guilt.”

“That would be the best. But he has spent tens of millions to hire Lawyer Can. He even sold his Yi Group shares for that. That’s really weird,” An Lan frowned.

The case was taking too much time. Although Nian Junting had paid An Lan a very high counsel fee, and she had become famous in the lawyer’s world after the first trial, she still wanted the case to end as soon as possible.

“Is it possible that Lawyer Can failed to come up with a way to defend him, so he gave up?” Luosang took a sip of milk. She really hoped that what she said could be true.

An Lan shook his head and said, “How can it be possible? Lawyer Cao will do anything to win. All lawyers know that.”

Hearing that, Luosang lost her appetite.

Nian Junting turned, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and said, “Look at you. The milk is all over your lips. Don’t worry. I’ll send my people to look for Yi Jingxi.”

…

In the parking lot of Shengting, Nian Junting unfastened his seatbelt. His phone suddenly rang.
