Chapter 599: What Right Does She Have to Like Him?
She hadn’t thought carefully about that. After all, she was always away from home and rarely had a chance to spend time with kids. The only child she knew was her little brother whom Leng Zhe had with his second wife. She found that little boy adorable, but she had never thought about having her own children. After all, she didn’t even have a boyfriend. However, she did understand how much joy a woman would miss if she could never be a mother, and that without children, a family would never be whole.
“Don’t be afraid.” Seeing Shuangwei suddenly become upset, Jiang Qifei hurriedly comforted her. “Don’t worry, I will make Nian Junting be responsible for you. That woman attacked his grandma because of Xu Luosang, it also has something to do with her ex-boyfriend. She hates Xu Luosang. She attempted to kill Nian Junting’s grandma, because if she had succeeded, the Nian family would never accept Xu Luosang.”
Leng Shuanwei was shocked.
“Can you not add inflammatory details to this?” Leng Zhe said, “Didn’t you hear the police say that Miao Zheng is also responsible for what happened? He’s been abusing that woman.”
“Anyway, she was calling Xu Luosang’s name when she committed the crime,” said Jiang Qifei loudly. “The Nian family wanted Nian Junting to marry you at first, but he refused. It must be because of that Xu Luosang. However, you shouldn’t worry. You’re infertile because of Nian Junting’s grandma, so they have to give you an explanation for that.”
“Enough. How dare you say that!” Leng Zhe was beyond tolerance. “If you hadn’t done what you did years ago, Shuangwei might have married Nian Junting already. To be honest, I don’t want to be in-laws with Nian Qingyun. The idea makes me sick. It’s good that that’s not gonna happen.”
“I admit that I made a mistake, but now, I’m only thinking about our daughter’s happiness.” Jiang Qifei shed tears. “All these years, Shuangwei barely talked to me. I regret so much, and I’ve suffered the consequences. However, I don’t care about myself, as I’m not young anymore. I only care about Shuangwei. She can’t have her own children. Do you want her to marry a divorced guy? She has to marry Nian Junting.”
“Alright, stop.” Leng Shuangwei joined the conversation. She talked so loudly that the wound on her lower abdomen even hurt a little. “Yes, I like Junting, but I’m not qualified to like him anymore. Am I really going to make him be responsible for me? Am I really going to take away his right to have children?”
“You can adopt a child,” said Jiang Qifei.
“But that wouldn’t be his biological child. What man doesn’t want to pass on his genes?” Leng Shuangwei covered her wound with her hand. The wound was hurting, but not as much as her heart ached. She had been fond of Nian Junting since she was little, but now she had lost the qualification to be with him.
“And Mom, please don’t talk about responsibility. I’m a member of the armed police force, and I used to be a soldier. Saving people is my duty. Will I ask everyone that I’m going to save in the future to be responsible for me?” Leng Shuangwei closed her eyes, enduring the pain in her heart.
“Ever since I chose to become a soldier, I’ve been preparing myself for any possible injuries, even for death. I’m lucky that I’m only infertile now. In the worst case, I’ll never be a mother, but I can still serve our country with all my heart.”
“How can you have those kinds of thoughts?” Jiang Qifei patted her own chest to ease that heartache. “You’re making me so angry.”
“I’m glad that you think this way.” Unlike Jiang Qifei, Leng Zhe nodded with a bitter smile. “Jiang Qifei, will you stop talking? Shuangwei just woke up. Please stop talking to her about all your frustrations.”
Jiang Qifei gave him a threatening glance but finally stopped talking.
…
Next to the door of the ward, Nian Junting leaned against the wall with a complicated look. He had heard the conversation that just happened in the ward. He wasn’t surprised by what Leng Shuangwei had said. She was thick and narcissistic but was also stronger than ordinary women. She was really a steely woman.
