“Nanyang, are you crazy? Since you know Jing Ning and Ye Qian are together, and Jing Ning doesn’t love you anymore, then leave him. The Nan Family is declining, but they can still support you and your child. You’re still the eldest daughter of the Nan family, so why are you doing this? Why waste your life in this meaningless fight?” Nanyang looked clever, but she was quite dumb.
Nanyang shook her head, and she forced a smile that was uglier than crying. “Nanxing, you don’t understand. You have no idea how much I’ve sacrificed for Jing Ning all these years. I don’t deserve this ending after the things I’ve gone through. If I don’t do this, I’ll feel sorry for myself.
“Nanxing, I know you won’t stand there and watch my child die. But I need to tell you personally that even after I die, I will be grateful to you.” Then she turned and staggered away. She radiated a thick sense of despair and desperation.
My heart suddenly ached. She reminded me too much of Nanxing from my previous life.
“Nanyang! Don’t forget that you’re a mother now. You must be strong!” I shouted at her.
Nanyang’s back stiffened, but she didn’t stop.
I felt a little uneasy. She was too much like me in my previous life.
I took out my phone and called Su Qian. “Help me check on the Jing Family. Also, see how far Ye Qian has infiltrated into the Jing Family. Keep an eye on Nanyang. I think there’s something wrong with her.”
I was worried that Nanyang would follow in my footsteps and choose the route of suicide with her child. However, she also said that she’d entrust her child with me, so what was she trying to do?
I had no idea.
I returned to the dorm and shared the news with Mai Qi and Jing Ni.
“She really entrusted her child to you?” The two of them said in unison. Then, they shook their heads together too. “Your prediction comes true too easily.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “You two have already formed an alliance so quickly? Family is closer than friends after all.”
Jing Ni caught my implication. She glared at me fiercely and didn’t say anything.
Mai Qi let out a long sigh. “Nothing in this life has ever posed a problem to my brother before. To me, he’s like a God.
“I thought that I would have to live in his dazzling halo all my life. But a great woman had appeared. God fell in love, and he finally descended to the human world. Do you know who this great woman is?”
Mai Qi winked at me.
I patted her head. “We’re talking business here!”
Mai Qi covered her head and laughed. “But this is serious business! Ni Ni and I are going to be in-law, so I have to be on her side.”
This time, it was Jing Ni’s turn to pat her head. “Don’t be silly!”
“Yes, Ni Ni!” Mai Qi submitted easily.
Jing Ni ignored her and asked me, “Did you promise Nanyang to take care of the child?”
I smiled wryly. “She didn’t really give me a choice!”
Both of them sighed.
“She only dropped by to inform me. She didn’t ask for my agreement or allow me to refuse.” I leaned back in my chair.
“So she forced her child on you?” Mai Qi asked.
I nodded. This description was quite apt.
“The Jing family won’t ignore her child. Even if Jing Ni and her parents might want to, Grandpa and Grandma Lan won’t agree. This is a human life we’re talking about,” Jing Ni said.
I nodded silently.
Mai Qi said, “It sounds like Nanyang is preparing for some kind of ultimate move.”
I shook my head. “It sounds like it, but I have no idea what. She said even after she dies, she’ll haunt Jing Ning and Ye Qian. I have to wonder if she’s crazy enough to plan to seek revenge after she’s dead.”
