Upon hearing this, Song Shutian sighed inwardly. No wonder Jiang Qiao wanted Ning Boyuan to come; it seems this man has a way with words. If it were him, he really wouldn't be able to say it. Even though he likes his wife, he just couldn't bring himself to say it so bluntly.
Tell me, how did Ning Boyuan cultivate himself to this level? Scholars are truly different from us roughnecks. Look at how easily he says these things, as if it were commonplace.
No wonder Tong Yun was able to get close to this man. Ning Boyuan does have some skills. However, he also felt sorry for Ning Hao's mother. Back then, didn't that silly woman also have Ning Boyuan confess his feelings to her like that? In the end, she didn't even know how she died.
After hearing Ning Boyuan's words, Tong Yun in the film started to cry.
"Old Ning, this really has nothing to do with me. I don't know what happened. Why don't you believe me?"
Ning Boyuan helped Tong Yun sit down on a chair, put his arm around her shoulder, and gently wiped away his wife's tears.
“Tong Yun, we’ve been husband and wife for so many years, of course I know what kind of person you are. But there are some things that are useless just because I know them. You have to explain things clearly to them. If everything is clear and nothing is wrong, then we can try to go home sooner.”
Even if something does happen, we can just tell them nicely that the kids and I are waiting for them to come home.
"Tong Yun, tell me honestly, is it because of me that you're like this?"
Tong Yun suddenly looked up at Ning Boyuan. Of course, Song Shutian outside also saw it clearly and cursed inwardly.
Tong Yun's somewhat flustered look did not escape Ning Boyuan's notice.
Ning Boyuan's heart sank. "Is it really because of me? You silly woman, how could you be so foolish? What's so good about me that I'm worth you doing this?"
The pain and heartache on Ning Boyuan's face couldn't lie. Why did she choose this man to rely on back then? It was because Ning Boyuan knew how to say sweet words that others wouldn't, and he knew how to care for people.
Even the elderly Tong Yun couldn't resist this tender offensive, and burst into tears, throwing herself into Ning Boyuan's arms.
"Boyuan, believe me, I didn't do it, really, but I suspect someone else did it."
I once talked about this with someone, and I was in a lot of pain. I also did her a big favor back then, and she said she would help me. As for how she would help, she didn't tell me, and I don't know either.
Later, Ning Hao's mother fell ill, and I suspected she was behind it. However, when I went to find that person again, she had disappeared, and I haven't been able to find her since.
Ning Boyuan's heart sank to the ground. It turned out that Ning Hao was absolutely right; the reason really did lie with him.
"Okay, stop crying. Now tell me, how exactly did Ning Hao's mother find out about this?"
Since she had already brought it up, Tong Yun simply said, "I like you so much, but that woman just won't leave you. I had no choice but to put on a show for her."
Ning Boyuan's voice was somewhat cold, "Did you notify them?"
"No, it was that friend who notified me before. Boyuan, you won't blame me, will you?"
Ning Boyuan sighed, "What's there to blame? It's already like this. People can't be brought back to life. Tong Yun, in a bit, I'll call someone in. You need to have a good talk with them about that woman and your friends. If you don't explain things clearly, they won't let you leave. The children are counting on you to go back and cook for them."
Seeing Ning Boyuan get up to leave, Tong Yun grabbed his arm. "Boyuan, you don't blame me, do you?"
Ning Boyuan smiled and shook his head. "Good boy, talk to them properly later. I'm going out now."
When Song Shutian saw Ning Boyuan coming out from outside, his expression was somewhat complicated, but Ning Boyuan seemed quite relaxed.
"Go inside. She didn't do this. If you want to know anything, just tell her. She will cooperate with you."
After saying that, he turned and left without even glancing back. Song Shutian had no idea whether Ning Boyuan had forgiven Tong Yun or not; at this point, he really couldn't tell.
Jiang Qiao learned of this news on the evening of the following day.
Seeing the message from Song Shutian, I sighed inwardly. She could say that male friends could also be a source of trouble, but frankly speaking, Tong Yun was no good either. After all, it was a human life. She put her love above a human life and even called it love. How shameless! It was possession, wasn't it? She selfishly wanted to possess, regardless of the other person's situation, let alone the safety of Ning Hao and his mother.
Regarding the progress of the case, Song Shutian made no mention of it in the telegram, not even how Tong Yun handled it. Of course, Jiang Qiao didn't care either, and only replied with congratulations and that was it.
She should just do what she's supposed to do; she could use that time to read more books.
Just as Jiang Qiao was preparing for her final exams, Ning Zhengtao and his wife arrived together, which is quite rare.
Basically, when Qiao Jie was at home, Ning Zhengtao would come over to chat with the old man, drink tea, and then mooch a meal or two.
The old lady is back. Qiao Jie went to the countryside. The old couple usually don't visit each other much unless they have to. I don't know what wind blew them to their house today.
"Grandpa Ning, Grandma Ning? Is something the matter? Please come inside and have a seat—"
The old lady sighed first, "Jiang Qiao, we would like to ask you to look after this house for us. Although my youngest son and daughter live in the city, it is still more convenient than living in the same courtyard."
Also, if Ning Hao comes back, tell him we've gone to his dad's place. If he likes it, he can go; if not, he can stay here for the New Year.
"Honey, if we're not around, when you cook, please bring some of Haozi's food. He doesn't like cooking, so just make do with whatever's available. It's the New Year, don't let him eat cold food."
Jiang Qiao frowned. "Grandma Ning, why are you only now thinking of going over there?"
Ning Zhengtao sighed, "Don't even mention it. Our eldest son sent us a telegram, telling us to hurry over. He said there's no one to take care of the family. We don't know what's going on. For him to be so anxious, something must have happened at home."
"Ugh, that brat! He doesn't save money when he should, and he tries to save money where he shouldn't. What's wrong with writing a couple more words? He just makes us worry."
Jiang Qiao felt that the old lady and the old man were most likely going there to help their son take care of the family. However, Ning Boyuan hadn't told his parents the truth and had just sent this telegram. How could the old couple refuse when their own son asked them to go and help? After all, he was their son.
"Okay, don't worry. If anything happens, just write to me. Don't be too anxious, it probably isn't anything serious."
