Zhao Heping curled the corners of his lips, his eyes showing undisguised contempt.
So what?
This is all your fault.
Niu Aixiang, why did you give up your life in Haicheng for me? I, Zhao Heping, have come to this point today because of you. Why are you pretending here?
Li Rui is pitiful, but we can only blame him for being blind and making friends with someone as vicious as you.
Everything that happened today is your own fault.
One day, I, Zhao Heping, will make you, and your entire Niu family, pay the price for our suffering today.
He half hugged Niu Aixiang with disgust, "I am sorry for Li Rui in this matter, but I had no choice. Aixiang, you understand my pain and my feelings of wanting to save my family. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely make it up to Li Rui, I swear!"
Niu Aixiang still felt uncomfortable, but after all, she had felt for Zhao Heping for so many years. If she could let it go so easily, she would not have risked breaking up with her family to go to the countryside with Zhao Heping.
She came to Jiang Nian's hut and saw Jiang Nian sitting at the door from a distance, his chin supported weakly by his palm, looking listless.
"Jiang Nian, aren't you happy too?" She sighed, went into the house to get a stool, and sat next to Jiang Nian.
The yard was filled with drying herbs. Some were hung on ropes, some were drying on the ground, and some were drying on mats. They were all common plants. Although she might not recognize them, she had seen most of them.
She felt that among the four of them, Jiang Nian should be the most carefree.
But looking at her expression, there is really no trace of happiness.
"It's not like I'm not happy or unhappy." After all, the big black rat was still lying in her pot, causing her to cook breakfast in the space. She was exhausted from head to toe, and she was too exhausted to deal with the mess in the outside world. "You came to me because of Li Rui?"
"You know everything?"
"Li Rui came here yesterday and cried in a very aggrieved manner."
Jiang Nian believed that this matter was definitely not a conspiracy between Niu Aixiang and Zhao Heping. She and Li Rui were too naive. They were well protected by their families and had never experienced any major storms.
Zhao Heping is different. He looks a little gloomy and obviously has just suffered a huge blow. He is sensitive and suspicious, and is definitely not a good person.
Jiang Nian has quite a bit of experience in judging people.
Niu Aixiang felt even more upset when she heard this. "I am sorry for him in this matter, but I really didn't mean it. Now I have no choice. You don't know, Brother Heping is also very pitiful. He was fine before, and he was the only son in the family, but everything was gone overnight. He was forced to come here. He didn't know where his uncle and aunt went. He was anxious and upset, so he urgently wanted a way out. Jiang Nian, you don't know what Brother Heping has been through. I watched him go through it with my own eyes. I really... I really can't bear to blame him. I don't know what to do. It's all my fault. If I hadn't told Brother Heping about it, it wouldn't have turned out like this..."
Niu Aixiang cried harder and harder as she spoke, but when she inadvertently saw Jiang Nian's eyes, she felt guilty and did not dare to look him in the eye.
It was as if she could see through her entire being. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
