After emerging from the police station, Nian Xi sighed. “It won’t be difficult to nab Miao Zheng. Her wounds and various photos of them in public are evidence of his misdoings. It might be difficult to collect evidence against Yi Jingxi, though… It has been so long. In conclusion, neither of them will be charged with anything major. Things between the Nian family and the Leng family won’t be so simple, of course.”
Luosang nodded. That was Zhong Yi’s intention. Everyone knew that clearly, but no one was willing to let things go. “The world is so unfair,” Luosang said bitterly. “Why do I have to pay for the crimes that Yi Jingxi committed? What have I done wrong?”
“Zhong Yi is the problem here,” Nian Xi said. “Jealousy is a demon. She has completely lost her senses because of it. She didn’t care to consider the fact that she was in the wrong in the first place. She was only receiving her due karma.”
“Xi, thank goodness Leng Shuangwei was there this time. If anything happened to your grandma, I would surely have to end my relationship with Junting,” Luosang said with relief. “I should thank her.”
Nian Xi’s lips twitched. She almost told her about the fact the Leng Shuangwei would never be able to get pregnant in the future, but she stopped herself. She couldn’t bring herself to tell Luosang. Luosang was already vexed. She would only bring her more trouble if she told her that now. Besides, her brother might have found a solution already. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back.”
“It’s alright, I’ll take a taxi home myself. You must be tired, too…” Before Luosang could finish, someone called out to Nian Xi. When she turned, she saw Jiang Qifei walking towards them. Her eyes were red.
Nian Xi froze before stuttering, “Aunty Jiang, what are you doing here? Why aren’t you staying in the hospital with Shuangwei?”
“I heard from the police that Xu Luosang was here, so I had to come take a look at that wretch. Shuangwei won’t be awake anytime soon. Junting is there by her side, too.” Jiang Qifei turned to look at Luosang. She found her extremely familiar looking.
“Oh.” Nian Xi nodded. She grabbed Luosang’s hand and hinted for her not to speak. “Go on in, then.”
Jiang Qifei nodded. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned as if she had recalled something. “Xi, I remember bumping into you two at the mall last time. What did you call her then? Sang? Is she Xu Luosang?”
Nian Xi licked her lips nervously, but Luosang didn’t want to lie to her anymore. “Yes, I am Xu Luosang.”
“You, you!” Jiang Qifei’s expression changed, and she pointed her shaking finger at Luosang. “You are the reason why my daughter is in the hospital.” She lost control and started whacking Luosang’s head with her handbag.
Nian Xi grabbed Luosang and backed away. She went forward and pulled Jiang Qifei away and shouted to Luosang, “Leave now.”
Luosang’s heart sank. “Didn’t you say… didn’t you say that Miss Leng was no longer in danger?”
“Aunty, can you please calm down? You can go to the police to find out more. Luosang is a victim, too,” Nian Xi said quickly before Jiang Qifei could say anything else.
“Victim?” Jiang Qifei shouted angrily. “How is she a victim? She’s not hurt at all! Shuangwei is alive, but she lost her chance of ever becoming a mother. Her uterus was injured. She will never be pregnant.”
Luosang was shocked. She looked at Nian Xi in a daze. “Is that true?”
Nian Xi looked like she was caught in an uncomfortable position. “Sang, I told you it’s not your fault. It’s Miao Zheng and Yi Jingxi’s fault.”
