"Well..." Feng Guang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Uncle, I know Duan Mu is your son, and it's understandable that you don't believe he would do these things, but... sometimes we have to succumb to the truth, don't we?"

"Miss Xia, what do you mean by that?"

Feng Guang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just think we should also learn to face reality, Duan Mu, he..."

Just then, the waiter brought over the wine. She paused for a moment, then asked the waiter to place the wine on a nearby table. After the waiter left, Feng Guang continued, "Duan Mu committed murder and broke the law, so he should bear the consequences. Moreover... he killed someone in such a cruel way. Uncle, just pretend you don't have this son."

"So, Miss Xia, you came here intending to seek pleasure?" Anger flashed in Duan Gao's eyes. "Miss Xia, Duan Mu likes you so much, are you just going to give him up so easily?"

“It’s not that I gave up on Duan Mu, but that Duan Mu gave up on himself.” Feng Guang’s expression was also slightly displeased. “Uncle, I still call you uncle because you are my elder after all, but I can’t accept what happened to Duan Mu no matter what. You are his father, so it’s understandable that you believe your child is the best. But I have no relation to Duan Mu, and I can’t do what you do.”

"No relatives or friends?" Duan Gao paused for a second, then asked, "Miss Xia, aren't you and Duan Mu boyfriend and girlfriend? Now you're suddenly considered no relatives or friends? Don't you think... you're being too heartless?"

“This isn’t a matter of being heartless or not. Just like now, many men go bankrupt and become penniless, and their wives still choose to divorce them, right? What’s more, Duan Mu has now killed someone. Uncle, do you really think I’m going to be hung up on Duan Mu for the rest of my life and live a life of widowhood for him?”

"But aren't there still many women who stay with their men through thick and thin?"

"Uncle, you're getting on in years, can't you be a little more realistic?" Feng Guang laughed mockingly. "Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. You think it's possible for a rich young lady like me to not find a better man, but instead waste my precious youth waiting here for Duan Mu, who might be sentenced to death at any time? Not to mention that Duan Mu is in prison now, even if he weren't, given his status, do you think I would be with him?"

Duan Gao narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, you never intended to be with Duan Mu in the first place, you were just playing around with him."

“Of course.” Feng Guang smiled. “To be honest, he’s good-looking and gentle, which does suit my taste. But he’s just a celebrity. Do you know what celebrities are to us aristocratic families? They’re just low-class actors. Since he’s an actor, it’s just for fun. To tell you the truth, at first I was worried that Duan Mu seemed to really want to marry me. I was wondering how I should break up with him. Now that he’s killed someone and is in jail, it’s a good thing for me. There’s no need to talk about breaking up anymore. From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other. Even if he dies in jail, it has nothing to do with me.”

Duan Gao clenched his fist. "Duan Mu misjudged you."

"After all, he was so foolish, dreaming that I could stay with him forever. It's not that he misjudged me, but that he never really saw me clearly."
