“Is that so? That'll have to do, then . ” Xu Zhengxuan finally nodded . “As my daughter's boyfriend, you must not only be able to earn a decent living, you must also be academically proficient . ”
Nian Junting was speechless . As talented and outstanding as he was, he had not managed to impress . His father-in-law's taste was certainly lacking . Luosang must have inherited that from him for their whole family to have been ruined by Yi Jingxi .
“You must be wary, though . ” Xu Zhengxuan sighed and told Luosang, “I don't really trust your taste in men . You were deceived by Yi Jingxi previously . Now you've agreed to marry a man you've only just known for five months . Isn't that a little too fast? Sang, you're still young, after all . You don't have to rush it . ”
“Dad, don't worry, Junting is a good man . He's been by my side helping me ever since Yi Jingxi started bullying me . ” Luosang took Nian Junting's hand in her own .
Nian Junting suddenly felt much better . It certainly felt good to be praised by his own lady in front of his father-in-law . It was as if he had just swallowed a mouthful of honey . “Dad, I will treat Luo well,” Nian Junting said .
“Just don't get married too soon . ” Xu Zhengxuan was unsettled . “Also, don't cohabitate before marriage . ”
Luosang's face turned red . If Dad were to find out that they had cohabitated and done some things, he would probably be infuriated . “Alright, Dad . After all I've been through, I've matured . I won't be like I was before . ” Luosang blurted, “I came here today for a purpose . I've realized that the woman you mentioned in the past, Chu Lei, is Yi Jingxi's mother . ”
“No way . ” Xu Zhengxuan was stunned . “While I was with her, I never heard that she had any children . ”
“Dad, you and Chu Lei never had any… thing going on, right?” Luosang continued, “It's all too coincidental . ”
“No, I was just using her to make your mother jealous,” Xu Zhengxuan said .
“Was Chu Lei ever fond of you when she was young?” Luosang asked .
“…Yes . ” Xu Zhengxuan hesitated for a moment before nodding . “After I found out that she was fond of me, I kept my distance from her . After your mom left us, she came to our house daily, but I rejected her advances . I don't really remember what happened after your mom left . Those few years are a blur to me . It was mainly your grandparents who took care of us . ”
“Looks like we'll have to investigate further . ” Luosang was disappointed .
“Thank you, but I've come to accept my circumstances . I've become more open-minded . ” Xu Zhengxuan sighed . “Anyway, I'm already so old, what's the use of living longer?”
“Dad, don't say that . You haven't even attended my wedding . If someone bullies me, who will stand up for me?” Luosang was anxious . She could see that Xu Zhengxuan had been psychologically affected .
“Is he bullying you?” Xu Zhengxuan shot Nian Junting a look . “Look at how tall and strong he is . He's also served in the army . Even if you're bullied, I cannot do anything from prison, just like how I was unable to do anything when Yi Jingxi bullied you . I'm so useless that my wife got scared, and my son ran away . ”
“…” Luosang looked desolate .
After the visit, Luosang looked for the prison guards and inquired about Xu Zhengxuan's circumstances . They said that he was not well physically and often appeared frail and listless . He also did not eat much, but because he did not have any illnesses, they were unable to call in a doctor .
Afterwards, Luosang said, “My dad can't remain in prison like this for much longer . He must be depressed . After being framed, it must have been hard to find peace . Finding out about my mom and brother must have been salt to his wounds . I think he's lost all hope in life . ”
