“Do we care about the money? What we care about is that we were losing for three and a half hours, without winning even once. Do you guys understand how that feels?” Xiao Si sighed.
“No, we don’t.” An Lan smiled gleefully.
“My future grandson-in-law is so smart,” Grandma Nian said with a happy smile. “He has completely outsmarted you guys.”
“Grandma, what are you talking about?” said Nian Junting sulkily. “What does that have to do with being smart or not? He’s just good at math.”
Grandpa Nian ignored him and agreed with Grandma Nian. “You’re right. I haven’t seen such a smart young man for a long time. I think Xi’s boyfriend is a great person. They should spend more time together and learn about each other. We should let them develop a relationship freely.”
“I agree.” Nian Xi’s uncle nodded. “Xi is a short-tempered girl, while Mr. Jiang seems quite tender. He listens to everything she says. Feng Ji Chuan was a good person too, but both of them have strong personalities. Nian Xi is the little princess of our family. I hope her future husband will treat her like a little princess too.”
“That is right.” Grandma Nian couldn’t agree more.
At that time, Nian Xi and Jiang Yuning came into the dining room together, so the topic ended.
…
After dinner, considering that there was a baby in Nian Junting’s house, the guests started leaving.
“Liuxi, wait,” An Lan called after Mo Liuxi when the latter was leaving.
“If you’re going to speak for An Ning, I’m sorry…” Mo Liuxi turned and looked at her coldly.
“If I wanted to talk to you for her, I’d have visited you long ago,” said An Lan. “An Ning is full of lies now. I don’t believe what she says either. Earlier, I arranged for her to study in a technical school, but she ran away. I wanted to ask if she went to you.”
“Do you think she still has the guts to come to me?” Mo Liuxi gave a cold smile. “I’m telling you, that sister of yours will only grow worse and worse. One day, she might do something irredeemable.”
Hearing that, An Lan felt helpless. “Have you really broken up with Yan Su? You should think very carefully about that if you can’t get over her. I feel that An Ning has done something that we don’t know about yet. Last time, you threw her into the water and then she got a bad fever. The fever lasted a few days, and she nearly lost consciousness. Back then, I heard her saying something like, ‘I don’t want to lie to you’.”
“Did she say that about me?” Mo Liuxi’s pupils shrunk.
“I’m not sure, but she woke up later. She seems to hate me now, so there’s no chance that she’ll talk to me. She has always kept secrets from me. I almost forgot about that, but today, I recalled it when I saw you.” An Lan gave a bitter smile.
Mo Liuxi pressed his thin lips together. A lot was going on in his mind. Was he the one whom An Ning didn’t want to lie to? Was it someone else? Was it about what happened that night?
“I got to go.” As he stayed silent, An Lan left in her car.
With all kinds of thoughts, Mo Liuxi walked slowly outside. What did An Ning lie about? Was it about that night? Did he really sleep with her that night?
He had such doubts since long ago.
However, no evidence from that night could be found. What would be different even if he found out that he didn’t sleep with An Ning, but with another woman that night?
It would be meaningless if he didn’t like the girl. Finding out the truth would only make him unhappier.
But if he didn’t sleep with An Ning that night, why did he wake up in the morning to see her lying by his side? Did An Ning sneak into his room afterward?
The more he thought, the more he hated An Ning. He felt that he might’ve been too nice last time.
