Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Novel - Chapter 606

Chapter 606: Sang, Is This Your Brother

“Alright, let’s not talk about Yi Jingxi, let’s talk about my father.” Luosang walked closer and softened her tone. “Auntie, my dad mentioned that the two of you once produced a short film together.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t want to talk about your father, either.” Chu Lei shook her head before walking away.

Luosang caught up to her. “I did not want to find you, either, but my dad might be behind bars for the rest of his life because someone framed him for something he never did. I’ve heard that Yi Jingxi bears a grudge against the Xu family. I know you were my dad’s classmate once. Was there any conflict between the two of you? Did you instigate Yi Jingxi to frame my dad?”

“I did not do anything.” Chu Lei heaved a sigh and glared at her. “Why would I instigate Yi Jingxi to do such a thing?”

Luosang stared at her plainly. “Because of love and jealousy.”

Chu Lei chuckled. “Stop spouting nonsense.”

“My dad once said that to annoy my mom, he would take you out in public. Did you instigate Yi Jingxi to ruin him because you fell in love with him but could not be together with him?” Luosang asked.

“That’s a hilarious story you just spun. How much must I have loved your father for me to still be jealous, even when my son is already so old? Miss, you’re looking for the wrong person. Stop bothering me. There’s a reason why I live so far from the city. It was so I could forget everything.” Chu Lei frowned and continued walking.

“You can deny it. I don’t know what happened between you and my dad, but because of you, he might be behind bars for the rest of his life. He worked so hard, only to end up in prison.” Luosang raised her voice and said, “I will get to the bottom of this. I will make Yi Jingxi bear witness to what he did and throw him behind bars for eternity.”

Chu Lei froze for a moment before continuing to walk off into the nursing home. Luosang stared in that direction until Nian Junting tapped her on the shoulder. “That woman is strange.”

“I see it, too.” Luosang clenched her fists. “Yi Jingxi is so wealthy, it is strange for a woman in her fifties to be staying in a nursing home with all the elderly. It’s as if she’s trying to hide from the outside world. It’s certainly strange.”

“Since we’re headed in the right direction, let’s keep digging. We’ll uncover the truth eventually. Let’s go.” Nian Junting took her hand. “Since we’re in An City, let’s pay father-in-law a visit.”

That was quite a huge leap. Luosang stared at him, stunned.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to see our dad?” Nian Junting asked.

“…” Our dad. Luosang felt like rolling her eyes. “Don’t be like that in front of my dad, you’ll scare him.”

“I know. You’ve found a partner more dashing and wealthier than Yi Jingxi, of course your father will be shocked. I’ll keep a low profile.” Nian Junting nodded.

Luosang was speechless. That was not what she meant. If he called her father “dad” directly, Xu Zhengxuan would certainly receive a shock. But she had many questions to ask Xu Zhengxuan about Chu Lei, so she nodded.

They grabbed a quick lunch and then headed for the prison. After about ten minutes of waiting, they met Xu Zhengxuan. At the sight of him, Luosang was frightened, for he looked even worse than the last time they met. An air of gloom hung over him. “Dad…”

Xu Zhengxuan immediately noticed the tall man standing next to Luosang. He had nearly strikingly perfect facial features, and his suit made him appear tall and sturdy.

“Dad…” Nian Junting nodded politely at him. “It’s good to finally have met you.”

Xu Zhengxuan stared at him blankly. Suddenly, his eyes welled up, and his lips trembled. “Sang, is this your brother? You’ve finally found him. He’s so tall and handsome, like, like your mother.”
