“What do you mean by making a mistake, and how do you know I definitely made a mistake?” Ni Sitian looked directly at Li Yinan and said, “I’m going back no matter what, and you can’t stop me. I need to get to the bottom of this.”
"Aunt Gu already said..."
“Her words are like a royal decree to you, but not to me.” Ni Sitian interrupted Li Yinan and said bluntly, “I will have my DNA and Xu Haicheng’s DNA tested to prove that this is all an absurd misunderstanding.”
"What if it's proven that you two are father and daughter? Can you face it? What about Xu Tingchuan? And what about that child? How will he face himself in the future?" Li Yinan's words struck at Ni Sitian's weak spot.
Ni Sitian pursed her lips: "I won't tell anyone. If it's confirmed, I promise you I won't have any more entanglements with Xu Tingchuan."
"You want to bear this all by yourself? Have you thought about what will happen to the rest of your life after this is proven true...?"
“I can handle it! Don’t think of me as so fragile!” Ni Sitian’s face was fearless and resolute. She clenched her fist and said in a deep voice, “I would rather have a quick death than be separated from him for the rest of my life in this ambiguous way.”
Li Yinan looked at her stubborn expression and stared at her quietly for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh: "Okay, we'll go to Yihai in a few days. Don't forget what you promised."
Ni Sitian smiled slightly; this was the first time she had smiled since waking up.
In the days that followed, she counted down the time each day.
On January 15th, she woke up impatiently in the early morning because she was going to take a plane back to Yihai that afternoon.
In stark contrast to her elation was Pei Yang.
It was 10 p.m. in Yihai City, and Xu Jiayue was getting married the next day.
He originally thought he had already adjusted and wouldn't have too many emotions. After all, he had investigated Han Shizhao for so long and hadn't found a single problem, which proved that Han Shizhao was someone he could entrust with his work.
Compared to him, Han Shizhao should have been able to bring Jia Yue more happiness, but when it came time for her to get married, he suddenly felt empty inside. After marrying someone else, she and he would never be able to get along like before, after all, he wasn't her real brother.
Xu Jiayue seems to have already started avoiding suspicion. After tomorrow, the distance between them will probably be even clearer, and they will probably stop bickering. As time goes on, they may eventually become someone who nods and then passes by without a word.
"Drink less." Shen Muzhi took the tequila from Pei Yang's hand and said with a stern face, "What's the point of drinking here? Why don't you go and make things clear with Jia Yue and tell her how you feel?"
"What can I say? She has never had romantic feelings for me. What's the point of saying anything? Besides, what can I offer her?" Pei Yang had specifically asked Shen Muzhi out for drinks today, and had already finished half a bottle of tequila.
"I've known you for so many years, and only now do I realize you're a coward. You don't even dare to fight for the person you like, and you just watch her go and give her away. What do you mean there's no romantic love between you? You're the only one who can make her feel that way. As for what you can bring her, of course, it's to do everything in your power to make her happy." Shen Muzhi crossed his arms. He had come with Pei Yang, but he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol. He had quit drinking long ago.
"Heh, so you think you're not a coward if you take things by force?" Pei Yang chuckled twice, poking at Shen Muzhi's sore spot: "Then let me ask you, where is Xiang Zhilan now? Have you made her happy? Knowing you couldn't, why hurt her so badly? That's not love, that's selfishness!"
