Nan Xing's actions startled Nan Hao and Xie Congjing, leaving them both stunned.
Nan Yue couldn't dodge in time and instinctively closed her eyes.
But the expected pain did not occur. Nan Yue was held in Pei Shuai's arms, and his other hand firmly grasped Nan Xing's wrist, with such force that Nan Xing felt pain.
Pei Shuai flung Nan Xing's hand away and yelled, "Nan Xing, do you think I'm dead? You hit your sister in front of me?"
"I think you should ignore everyone else. If you're so willing to offer yourself up, then go ahead and offer yourself up. Don't take it out on your sister. She's only trying to help you, that's why she keeps advising you. Look at yourself now, do you even look like a human being? You've driven yourself to the point of being neither human nor ghost for the sake of an outsider. You call yourself a big star? Take a good look at yourself first."
After saying that, Pei Shuai pulled Nan Yue towards home: "Come on, let's not stay here any longer. Let's pack our things and leave now."
Nan Yue was taken away just like that.
Nanxing stood at the door, looking somewhat dazed. Before she could react, Nanhao pulled her back home.
Nan Hao and Nan Xing were sitting in the living room, while Xie Congjing quickly went to stop Pei Shuai and his wife.
Xie Congjing: "Don't go! It's so late. It's not safe to walk alone at night with two children. Nanxing is so inconsiderate. I apologize on her behalf..."
Seeing her mother's troubled expression, Nan Yue felt terrible. She wanted to speak, but Pei Shuai stopped her.
Pei Shuai said directly, "Mom, it's not that we don't want to give you face, it's just that..."
"You should discipline your youngest daughter first. What does her business be with other people's divorce and remarriage? My wife tried to persuade her a few times, and she pushed my wife down. I haven't even settled the score with her yet, and she wants to hit my wife. I really don't know, what did all those years of schooling and higher education she received go to?"
After saying that, Pei Shuai took his wife's hand with one hand and their luggage with the other, and walked away. The two children, who were both grown up, followed closely behind their parents. Before leaving, they said to Xie Congjing, "Goodbye, Grandma."
"Bang—" The door slammed shut.
The footsteps faded into the distance, and soon the engine noise downstairs also gradually disappeared.
Xie Congjing had no choice but to go home for the time being.
Nan Hao glanced at Nan Xing, who had her head down, his face extremely ugly. He wanted to drink a glass of water, but just as he picked it up to drink, he couldn't control himself and smashed the glass.
Xie Congjing and Nanxing both screamed in fright.
Nan Hao stood up and pointed at Nan Xing: "What do you want to do? Huh? I'm asking you, what exactly do you want to do? Is it really as your brother-in-law said?"
Nanxing's tears immediately fell: "I didn't hit her, she hit me first!"
Xie Congjing and Nan Hao then noticed that Nan Xing's left cheek was a little red.
Xie Congjing quickly comforted Nan Hao: "Listen to what your daughter has to say first. Don't get so angry. I've never seen you this angry in all these decades."
Nan Hao looked at Nan Xing: "Alright, let me hear what you have to say."
Nanxing remained silent, head bowed, tears streaming down her face, without uttering a word.
Seeing Nan Xing's expression, Nan Hao was furious: "What exactly do you want? Is what your brother-in-law said true? Are you interfering in someone else's relationship?"
Xie Congjing also started to get anxious: "Nanxing, tell your parents what's wrong right away. Don't keep it to yourself, otherwise how can your parents help you?"
Nanxing then spoke up: "I didn't."
"I just wanted to know if they had remarried, and that's all I did."
Nan Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but he was still uncomfortable: "Your sister hit you, didn't she? With your mindset, I think she didn't hit you hard enough. Your brother-in-law is right, whether someone gets married or divorced is none of your business."
"What do you have now? Do you still need to keep an eye on Duan Ye?"
"Besides, didn't you reject her back then? You're almost thirty now, and you're still doing this. Nanxing, can't you ever grow up?"
Nanxing began to feel extremely angry. Why did everyone have to use the things she had done in the past to attack her?
Can't people make mistakes?
Besides, what did she do wrong? Didn't she already pay with her life once?
Isn't that enough?
Nanxing: "Dad, I made a mistake back then, but I didn't instigate their divorce, did I? Since they're divorced, and I like Duan Ye, why can't I get back together with him?"
Xie Congjing: "Shut up!"
Nanxing looked at Xie Congjing in disbelief: "Mom, how could even you..."
Xie Congjing also started to get angry: "Look at what you're saying! So what if they're divorced? They've remarried now, and you like them, but do they like you back?"
"If it weren't for Luo Qingyuan's interference, how could he possibly dislike me?"
Nan Hao was so enraged by these words that he stood up again: "Nan Xing, have you gone mad? They are husband and wife, who are you? What are you saying?"
Nanxing was so angry that he dared not speak anymore, but he was still unwilling to give up.
Nan Hao was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, but Xie Congjing helped him sit down.
Nan Hao: "I advise you to quickly put away those irrelevant thoughts and find a good man to date. Stop staring at other women's husbands. As for the rest, I'll pretend I didn't hear it."
Xie Congjing said worriedly, "Nanxing, I really didn't expect that after all these years..."
Finally, Xie Congjing sighed and said, "Fine, I'll leave it to you as my mother. Just focus on being a great star and don't think about anything else."
Nanxing was too exhausted to argue with her family about these things anymore; she was tired.
"Okay," Nanxing replied.
