Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Nian Junting responded without hesitation, “I really didn’t know. Added to the fact that you showed up suddenly and bought out Luoxi, I had a bad attitude toward you. Maybe you don’t know, but I’m that kind of person. I’m never friendly to women, except for my families and Luosang. I believe that a man should only be nice and gentle to his own woman. I’m not like those who are warm and smiling to anyone they meet. I don’t think that’s right. My future-father-in-law is like that. That’s why I don’t appreciate him.”

 Mo Jin paused briefly. She thought for a moment, then found those words made sense. Also, he criticized Xu Zhengxuan, and that made her extremely comfortable. Suddenly, she liked him much more than before.

 “If you don’t appreciate him, why are you trying everything you can to save him?” The look on Mo Jin’s face turned slightly better.

 “Because he’s Luo’s father. I’m in a very low place at home. I only follow her words,” Nian Junting sighed and said, “Also, I’ve dug into it, and found that Uncle Xu was indeed framed by Yi Jingxi. Yi Jingxi took away Luosang’s company and almost made her miscarry. No matter how, I’ll send him to prison.”

 Mo Jin nodded. She had known how much Nian Junting had helped Luosang. That was why she wanted to find out what kind of a person he was by herself. She got close to him to get to know about his personality, while he didn’t know who she really was.

 Many rich kids had all kinds of bad habits. No matter how much he had helped her daughter, she wouldn’t trust him only because of that. A man would do anything for a woman when he was in love with her, but when he stopped loving her, he would kick her away.

 She had seen too many heartless men like that.

 “Did you just call Xu Zhengxuan Uncle?” Mo Jin raised her brows.

 He called Xu Zhengxuan ‘Uncle’ but called her ‘Mother’.

 “Of course. He has done something bad to you, so I don’t appreciate him. And to be honest, he, as Luosang’s father, should have seen Yi Jingxi’s true face earlier. She was young and silly, but he should be wiser. However, he failed to see through Yi Jingxi, but got him into Xu Group. As he was framed, Xu Group fell into Yi Jingxi’s hands. He even lost his family business to Yi Jingxi.”

 1Nian Junting shook his head with a frown.

 My dear future father-in-law, I’m deeply sorry. At this critical moment, I have no choice but to use you as a stepping-stone, he thought.

 2Hearing his words, Mo Jin felt even more comfortable. What she liked to hear the most was people saying bad things about Xu Zhengxuan.

 “You’re right. Xu Zhengxuan is the real reason why Yi Jingxi fooled Luosang and took away her family business,” said Mo Jin with anger. “It was all his fault. He had an affair with Yi Jingxi’s mother. That woman lied to her son, coaxed him into getting revenge on Luosang. He put himself in a miserable state, but Luosang is innocent.”

 Nian Junting wore a surprised look. It seemed that his future mother-in-law knew more than he did.

 “Do you know why Yi Jingxi hurt Luosang’s family?” He asked.

 “I didn’t at first. A couple of days ago, I saw Chi Lei and learned something about it. But I don’t know all the details yet. All in all, she lied to Yi Jingxi. Yi Jingxi already knows the truth. If he still has some conscience, he should turn himself in,” Mo Jin sighed.

 “Mother, you’re really good,” Nian Junting praised. “I’ve been trying to figure out why, but Yi Jingxi refused to tell me. I only guessed that it had something to do with his mother.”

 Mo Jin gave him a glare and said, “You’re a sweet-talker. I’m telling you, whether you’re nice to me isn’t important. What’s important is that you have to be nice to my daughter. Be loyal to her. Don’t think I don’t know that you got her pregnant before even marrying her.”

 Mentioning that, Mo Jin got angry again. When Mo Liuxi told her about that, she was so pissed off that she almost passed out. Her daughter was experiencing the same thing as she had. Before even finishing her school, she fell into a man’s sweet trap and got pregnant. She had dropped out of school to give birth to the baby and then that man cheated on her.

 Even though Chi Lei claimed that nothing really happened between her and Xu Zhengxuan, Mo Jin didn’t believe her. Back then, Xu Zhengxuan was very protective of Chu Lei.

 He never took her, his wife, to any formal occasions, but took Chu Lei everywhere. They showed up together at all kinds of lectures and forums. Perhaps Xu Zhengxuan thought that she was too low for those formal occasions. After all, he was a professor while she was an orphan who dropped out of school.

 For that reason, she came back to find her daughter, to provide her with the best resources that she could find. She accepted the fact that her daughter had a boyfriend, but didn’t want her to get married too soon. It wouldn’t be too late for her to get married when she had her own career. By then, she would become a more confident woman. Luosang especially needed that, because she would become a member of a rich family like the Nian Family.

 However, to her surprise, Luosang was already pregnant.

 “I’m sorry about that.” Nian Junting had no other choice but to apologize sincerely. “I’m not young anymore. I’m thirty years old already. Luosang is so much younger than me. I was afraid that I might lose her, so… But, please don’t worry. She’s already in the fourth year of her school. The fourth year is relatively easy. Many students spend that year doing internships. After she gives birth to the baby, I’ll hire nannies to take care of the baby and she’ll be able to do whatever she wants. In fact, I want her to have her own career too. She said that she wants to be a voice actress and I support her hundred percent.”

 Mo Jin snorted coldly, “Xu Zhengxuan said the same thing to me, but look how that turned out…”

 “He did?” Nian Junting knitted his brows. “I didn’t know Uncle Xu was that kind of person. Mom, we’ll only let you see our baby, not him.”

 Mo Jin stayed silent. She just couldn’t resist it when someone was saying bad things about Xu Zhengxuan.

 Nian Junting grasped the opportunity and said, “Mom, do you want to come with me and meet Luosang right now? Actually, Luosang misses you all the time. She knows what happened before, so she doesn’t blame you. You might not know that Uncle Xu had been telling her that you died. That’s why she didn’t know that you’re still alive. Earlier, she ran into your classmate, Feng Ge. That’s how she learned that you’re not dead, and that you were pregnant.”

 Mo Jin exploded with anger. “When did I die! Xu Zhengxuan is such a shameless person! I risked my life to give birth to Luosang yet he kept her for himself. And then he actually tried to erase me from my daughter’s world! What a b*stard!”

 Nian Junting felt a little helpless.

 Because of that, he disapproved of Xu Zhengxuan more.

 With some things, he couldn’t explain too much, in case Mo Jin disliked him. He could tell that Mo Jin had many misunderstandings about Xu Zhengxun.

 After a short silence, Mo Jin asked worryingly, “Do you think that… Does Luosang really not hate me?”

 Nian Junting nodded, “She never hated you. She believes that you did what you did for a reason.”

 Mo Jin’s eyes reddened with excitement. After a while, she calmed down and said, “It’s too late today. I’m not going with you. Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, I’ll be there with Liuxi.”

 “Okay,” Nian Junting nodded. “I’ll tell Luo about it.”

 “Thank you.” Mo Jin’s lips quivered. Then she continued awkwardly, “Don’t misunderstand me. I do not think that you’re good enough already. My test for you will last a whole lifetime. I’ll see if you can be nice to her for her entire life, not just a year or two.”
