After leaving the police station, Ni Sitian told Xu Tingchuan to go to work obediently, as she wanted to visit Ni Tianzhen at the Ni family home.
Xu Tingchuan did have a very important meeting this afternoon, and time was running out, so he parted ways with Ni Sitian at the entrance of the police station.
Ni Sitian took a taxi to the Ni family home. She rang the doorbell, and her uncle opened the door.
She went inside and saw her aunt sitting on the sofa with a worried look on her face, and she looked very unwell.
"Sitian, you're here! Go and help talk to Tianzhen." When her aunt saw Ni Sitian, she immediately tried to get up, but because she was not feeling well, her legs went weak and she fell back down.
Ni Sitian walked over quickly, looking at her aunt with nervousness and worry.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Auntie Ni held Sitian's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Tianzhen has locked herself in her room since yesterday and hasn't come out since. She won't eat or drink anything, and she won't talk to us. I'm so afraid something has happened to her, Sitian, what should we do? How could things have turned out like this? How could Shao'an just disappear like that?"
Ni Sitian's eyes reddened at what she said, but she held back her tears and gently patted her aunt's hand to comfort her.
"Go in and see Tianzhen. Maybe she'll listen to your advice," the uncle said to Sitian in a hoarse voice, his eyes also red.
Ni Sitian nodded and got up to go to Ni Tianzhen's room.
She knocked on the door, but received no response for a long time. She had no choice but to say, "Sister, it's me, Sitian. Please open the door."
Still receiving no response, Ni Sitian pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and continued, "Sister, the other day my brother-in-law told me about his illness, and said a lot of other things too. Do you want to...?"
Before she could finish speaking, the door opened.
Ni Sitian was startled when she saw Ni Tianzhen's extremely pale face.
Ni Tianzhen stepped back, letting Ni Sitian into the room.
When Ni Sitian entered, she saw that the room was in complete disarray, with nothing in its proper place.
"What did he say?" Ni Tianzhen stared intently at Ni Sitian with her dark eyes.
Her face was so pale that her eyes looked like two black holes, which was somewhat frightening.
Ni Sitian pursed her lips and said carefully, "My brother-in-law said he regretted it very much and said a lot of things to repent, saying that if only things could have been before June or July of last year."
"Anything else?" Ni Tianzhen asked, gripping Ni Sitian's arm.
Ni Sitian felt a little pain from being grabbed. After thinking carefully for a moment, she continued, "I asked him if he wanted to see you."
"What did he say?" Ni Tianzhen's eyes widened.
"He said he was gone. Even if you hate him, he wants to keep his handsome image in your mind as the last thing you remember, because that's how you fell in love with him." As Ni Sitian spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again. Their love-hate entanglement was just too heartbreaking.
Upon hearing this, Ni Tianzhen released Ni Sitian's arm, took a few steps back, and, as if unable to bear it any longer, collapsed onto the bed, her voice choked with sobs: "I shouldn't have hesitated back then, shouldn't have let go of my resentment, and only come back now. If I could have come back sooner, if I hadn't gone abroad, if I hadn't divorced him..."
Ni Sitian didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only put her arm around her and say repeatedly, "It's not like that, it's not your fault."
Ni Tianzhen cried in front of the operating table yesterday, but hasn't cried since; she has been suppressing her emotions.
At this moment, Ni Sitian's words triggered all her suppressed emotions to erupt, and she buried her face in Ni Sitian's shoulder and wept bitterly.
