Chapter 107: 107. She’s Not a Kind-hearted Person (Second update)
Translator: 549690339
It was deep in the night.
The small mountain village was quiet and peaceful.
Su Liang was still reading late at night, waiting for Ning Jing to return.
It wasnt that she was worried about Ning Jing’s safety; she was actually more concerned about her own. After all, she had been kidnapped when Ning Jing wasn’t home before.
As for Yan Shiba, Su Liang had added a bit of calming ingredient to the medicine he drank after dinner, so he had fallen asleep long ago.
Finally, she heard some noise from next door. Su Liang yawned, closed her book, and went outside.
As soon as Ning Jing lit the lamp, Su Liang’s voice sounded at the door, “I thought you would have a long talk with your good brother all night!”
“There’s nothing to talk about.” Ning Jing’s expression was indifferent. “He’s mentally ill.”
Su Liang was quite surprised, “Did you have a fight?”
“I told him that his sister didn’t care about him at all, and she was just using him. But he insisted on not believing me.” Ning Jing said.
Su Liang sighed softly. As for the Nian Family’s matters, she had asked Ning Jing before. Ning Jing only said that Nian Jincheng was ignored by everyone in his family.
The sister that Ning Jing was talking about was Nian Ruxue, Gu Ling’s former fiancée and the one who returned the hairpin. Su Liang knew about that.
Su Liang also knew one more thing: Nian Ruxue had once hired an assassin from Yanyun Building to kill Gu Ling.
Regarding this matter, Nian Jincheng explained that his sister only wanted to find Gu Ling using this method.
As for this, Su Liang had only one feeling: it was insane!
What kind of love is that? Knowing that Gu Ling was a wanted criminal by the court, and since he didn’t show up, it meant that he didn’t want to see her. If Nian Ruxue really cared about Gu Ling, she should have prioritized his safety and not use such an extreme and inexplicable method. She called it missing him and looking for him, but hadn’t she thought about the consequences? If he got hurt, or his martial arts got crippled, wouldn’t he be directly killed by the assassin she had hired for a large sum of money? Or would his whereabouts be exposed and captured by the court? Are assassins trustworthy? It was absurd!
Therefore, Su Liang had a very poor impression of Miss Nian Ruxue, whom she had never met. That person was clearly not a good person.
A normal, kind-hearted person could not do such a thing.
Su Liang did not expect that Nian Jincheng would trust Nian Ruxue so much that he wouldn’t even listen to Ning Jing’s advice.
“The one inside the game is always confused.” Su Liang analyzed, “There is one more reason: he is starved of love.”
Ning Jing frowned slightly, “What?”
“Aren’t the two of you known to be each other’s only friends?” Su Liang said, “After you disappeared and couldn’t recognize each other when meeting, with your nature, you wouldn’t care, but Nian Jincheng is not as detached as you. He longs for someone to care about him, to pay attention to him. After you left, there was only Nian Ruxue by his side. Even if she was only good to him on the surface, compared to the people in his family who didn’t even bother pretending to care, she was the most special existence in his eyes.”
“What’s wrong with being alone? There are no strings attached, and it’s peaceful.” Ning Jing said.
“Not to mention that you’re not alone, but the point is, he’s not you.” Su Liang said.
“Are you advising me to understand him?” Ning Jing asked back.
Su Liang shook her head, “I’m just advising you to think more openly. Some things are useless to say too much, and he needs to see it clearly and understand it by himself. If you really want to break off your friendship with mm, you won’t De angry anymore.’ “I’m not angry.” Ning Jing said.
“Can you smile then?” Su Liang snorted.
Ning Jing looked at Su Liang, “You first.”
Su Liang thought it was quite difficult, but she pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a smile to Ning Jing.
The next moment, Ning Jing said, “It’s very late, go back to sleep.”
Su Liang:…
One day passed, and it was the day for Duanmu Chen to return to the capital. The real County Magistrate of Bei’an County would officially take office the next day.
Ning Jing and Su Liang did not go to the county town to see them off.
When Nian Jincheng arrived to bid them farewell, Duanmu Chen said annoyedly, “That girl really didn’t come! She doesn’t have a heart or lungs!”
Chang’an weakly said, “Miss Su does have a heart, but it’s all on Ning Jing’s side.”
Duanmu Chen glared at him, “If you don’t know how to speak, shut up!”
When he saw Nian Jincheng appear, Duanmu Chen waved him to get into the carriage.
Nian Jincheng handed the horse to Chang’an, brought his luggage, and sat with Duanmu Chen. Soon the procession set off.
“Su Liang’s letter to Xing Yusheng is with you, right?” Duanmu Chen asked directly.
Nian Jincheng nodded, “Yes. Miss Su asked me to bring it to Crown Prince Xing when I return to the capital.”
“I knew it. When Xing Yusheng asked you to bring a gift to Su Liang, Su Liang must have also asked you.” Duanmu Chen said, and then reached out, “Where’s the letter?”
Nian Jincheng frowned, “Your Highness, this is not appropriate, is it?”
Duanmu Chen snorted, ‘What’s not appropriate? Hand it over!”
Nian Jincheng reluctantly took out the letter and handed it to Duanmu Chen.
Duanmu Chen opened it, initially thinking that those medicinal diet recipes were the letter, even complaining about why there were so many. But then he found that the actual letter was just half a sheet of paper with only a few words.
But he read it for a long time, without skipping a single word.
After reading it, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he said, “Indeed, she is smart as ice and snow.”
He then handed the medicinal diet recipes out of the carriage, “Chang’an, take these and make a copy.”
Seeing Nian Jincheng frown, Duanmu Chen laughed, “Su Liang won’t mind.” The two sat opposite each other in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
After a long time, Nian Jincheng suddenly spoke, asking Duanmu Chen a question, “Your Highness the Fourth Prince, if I ask to be stationed at the mine and not return to the capital, will His Majesty approve?”
Duanmu Chen was very surprised. Firstly, he didn’t expect Nian Jincheng to have such thoughts, and secondly, he didn’t expect Nian Jincheng, who had always followed the rules, to actually bring up this issue with him.
“Why?” Duanmu Chen asked.
“The waters in the capital are too deep, and my mind is simple, so I find it hard to live.” Nian Jincheng said solemnly.
“Don’t belittle yourself. You have a sincere heart, not a simple mind. Is it because of the issues in your family? I’ve heard something about it.” Duanmu Chen said with a knowing tone, “You are very outstanding. If you abandon the unrealistic illusions about the other members of the Nian Family, your future will be even more open. Believe me, people’s nature does not change. Those who dislike you now will still dislike you no matter how outstanding you are or how well vou treat them, and they mav even dislike vou more.”
Seeing Nian Jincheng frown, Duanmu Chen laughed, “I heard that your relationship with your fourth sister is the best, right? She’s the one who was once engaged to Gu Ling.”
Nian Jincheng nodded, and this was true.
Duanmu Chen said with a mysterious tone, “I can responsibly tell you that your seemingly gentle and lovely sister is not a good person..”
