Chapter 408: At that Moment… It Was as If Our World Had Fallen Apart

Luosang frowned. She thought of herself and Zhong Yi being betrayed similarly. She could empathize with Murong Cheng’s anger and sorrow. Perhaps Murong Cheng had it worse than she did. At least she did not marry and have children with Yi Jingxi.

Nian Xi continued, “When I was little, I felt that our family was blessed to be able to go on vacation at least once a year with Uncle Leng and his family. We… were such good friends with their daughter. One day though, when we were older, they started fighting. We eventually found out that Auntie Jiang and my father had… My mother refused to believe it at first. She had seen the shady text messages that my father had been receiving, but she decided to keep quiet about it and find out who it was. She never thought that she’d catch my father and Auntie Jiang red-handed during one of our vacations. At that moment… it was as if our world had fallen apart.”

Luosang was stunned. She could not fathom what it must have been like.

“In my mind, I always saw my mother as a dignified person. That was the first time I saw her hit someone and cry so uncontrollably.” Nian Xi’s eyes had turned red. “She was betrayed by both her best friend and her husband simultaneously. My mom could not understand. If my father had liked Auntie Jiang from the beginning, why did he marry her in the first place? If they had truly fallen in love with each other, they could have let her know. She was not the type who would refuse a divorce. She even entertained the thought of going away overseas. It’s just that she had found out in the worst possible way…”

“I’ve seen your father. I never imagined him to be that kind of person.” Luosang could barely hide her disgust.

“Yes, my father seems so stoic and solemn, but who knew…” Nian Xi chuckled bitterly. “My father said that after marriage, my mom worked full time. Every time the four of them went out, he would be envious of how Auntie Jiang and Uncle Leng always seemed so well dressed and appeared so gentle and charming. The four of them met up so frequently. He knew that it was wrong, but I guess lust got the better of him. My mom said that she had seen them together on many occasions, but she thought nothing of it as she trusted her own friend. It was only after that she discovered that they had been at it for at least an entire year.”

Luosang sighed. “If I’m not wrong, your parents did not get a divorce, right?”

“Yes, my father refused to do so.” Nian Xi shrugged. “Men are like that. They want too many things. My father still loved my mother more. After all, they had been married for so many years. After the affair, he cut off all ties with Auntie Jiang. He was even beaten up by my brother and grandpa so badly that he couldn’t walk for a month. What use was that, though? The damage had been done. Furthermore, they had been married in the military, and it wasn’t easy to get a divorce. My mom had all the evidence on hand. She could have sued my father in court, but she decided not to for the sake of our futures. If my father had been ruined, our careers could never have been this successful, and Zhong Zhou Group Corporation would never be where it is today.”

On hearing this, Luosang could not help but hold a degree of admiration and respect for Murong Cheng’s selfless maternal love. She was willing to bear the pain for the sake of her children. “What about Uncle Leng?” Luosang felt sorry for him, too.

Nian Xi shook her head. “Uncle Leng really loved his wife. She was so precious to him, but perhaps he was never as handsome as my father. After the affair, I saw him crying for the first time. He divorced Auntie Jiang soon after. Apparently, even after the divorce, he still gave her a significant sum of money. He must have loved her deeply.”
