“Aunty, by responsibility, do you mean that I should marry her?” Nian Junting frowned slightly. “I remember that I’ve made it very clear, and I’ve made an agreement with Shuangwei.”
“Shuangwei was being considerate of you. She worried that you might not have children to inherit your family business. She’s such a silly child. She never thought about herself,” said Jiang Qifei bitterly.
“Aunty, I’ve told you that from now on, we, the Nian family, will give Shuangwei as much help as we can, for anything. And about her fertility, I’ll ask my friends abroad to look for the most advanced medical technologies. No matter how much money it might cost, my family will pay for it.” Nian Junting said word by word, “Please don’t ask me to marry her again. You can say it a thousand times, but nothing will change. As I said, I won’t marry her.”
Jiang Qifei opened her mouth, her eyes showing a trace of anger. Seeing that the atmosphere was turning weird, Xiao Si hurriedly changed the topic. Five minutes later, Leng Shuangwei and Leng Zhe came back.
“The ultrasound result shows no problem. She can go home and rest,” said Leng Zhe blandly. “You don’t need to drive us home. We have our own car.”
“I’ll go downstairs for the discharge procedure. My family should cover the medical expenses.” Nian Junting nodded at Leng Shuangwei, then walked out of the ward. While he was gone, the Leng family’s people had already packed Leng Shuangwei’s belongings.
Xiao Si wheeled Leng Shuangwei toward the elevator while trying to ease the tension. “Shuangwei, let’s hang out together when you’ve recovered,” he said.
“Sure, don’t hide from me then.” Leng Shuangwei gave a faint smile, then said to Nian Junting, “Junting, don’t forget to come with him.”
“…Um,” Nian Junting responded in a low voice.
In the parking lot, Leng Zhe carried Leng Shuangwei into the car, then turned and said to Jiang Qifei, “You don’t need to come with us. My wife and I will take care of Shuangwei.”
“Leng Zhe, I know that you have a son. You can’t mistreat Shuangwei, not even a little bit,” Jiang Xi Fei reminded him again and again.
“Relax. She’s my daughter. I’m not like you,” Leng Zhe said coldly, then drove away.
Xiao Si coughed slightly, then said, “Aunty, where are you heading? Can I give you a ride?”
“No need.” Jiang Qifei glanced at Nian Junting and said, “I don’t want to see some heartless person.” After saying that, she turned and walked back into the elevator.
Xiao Si clicked his tongue and said, “When we were little, I felt that Shuangwei’s mom was gentle and nice. Why is she more and more…”
“Would a gentle and nice lady cheat on her husband with my old man?” Nian Junting responded coldly.
“Uncle Leng is with someone else now. What about Aunty Jiang? Is she with someone?”
“How am I supposed to know?” Nian Junting turned and got into the car.

Xia City, in an office building.
Nian Qingyun had been in a bad mood ever since he got divorced. He texted Murong Cheng a few times, but she never replied, and that upset him. When his secretary, Xiao Xue, knocked on the door and came in, he was gazing at his phone.
“Director, about the task you gave me earlier, I found something.” Xiao Xue handed him a thick stack of files.
“What are they?” Nian Qingyun was browsing Murong Cheng’s WeChat posts. Last night, Murong Cheng made a post about the flowers that she received. Seeing that, Nian Qingyun felt very unhappy.
“About Xu Zhengxuan,” said Xiao Xue.
Nian Qingyun paused briefly, then dropped his phone, took the files, and gave them a look.
Xiao Xue explained, “These are the people who are involved in his case. Except for Yi Jingxi, these are all the key witnesses. There are five of them. Young Master Nian is investigating this now. He has found three of those witnesses. The other two of them, according to the files, have moved abroad. But in fact, I found that they have changed their names and identities, and have secretly come back.”
