Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Maybe it was Yi Jingxi or Jiang Qifei. However, the evidence was stolen right after Xiao Xue showed him the document, so Jiang Qifei was the biggest suspect. He couldn’t imagine someone as virtuous and gentle as her stooping so low. “I thought I asked you to investigate Jiang Qifei.”

“I did.” Xie pulled out a document. “She left for Beijing a few years back. In recent years, she has become the woman of Qifeng Holding’s CEO, Liao Qiulong.”

Nian Qingyun was shocked. “Isn’t that man married?”

“Yes, she is his secret lover,” Xie replied.

Nian Qingyun was quiet for a long while. He always thought of her as a demure and virtuous woman. That was why he was attracted to her all those years ago. He had always regretted his actions, but he never blamed Jiang Qifei for what happened. In fact, he always felt sorry for her. He was the man, and he should take most of the responsibility.

After Jiang Qifei divorced Leng Zhe, she wanted to marry him, but he rejected her. Murong Cheng was still more important than anyone else. Jiang Qifei left Xia City soon afterward. He thought that she would have found another man by now after so many years, but it was fine that she hadn’t as well. It wasn’t easy to find someone suitable at their age, after all. He didn’t expect her to become someone else’s mistress.

Qifeng Holdings was a big e-commerce company, quite notable in the industry. Liao Qiulong was already over 70 years old. Nian Qingyun didn’t believe that Jiang Qifei was with him out of love. She was obviously after his money. Ruining someone’s family might be a mistake the first time, but it was a personality flaw the second.

“Also…” Xie continued, “I found out that Jiang Qifei has been spying on Xu Luosang recently. They have been in contact over the phone a few times, around the same time Young Master started having problems with her. It’s likely that Jiang Qifei has been threatening Xu Luosang with the evidence that she has, forcing her to break up with Young Master.”

“I can’t believe it…” Nian Qingyun shook his head. He didn’t expect Xiao Xuen and his negligence to cause such a big problem. Although he didn’t like Xu Luosang, he knew that Nian Junting would be furious with him if he ever found out that he was the reason why his girlfriend left him. Murong Cheng would be furious with him, too. He shuddered at the thought of it.

“Director, should we tell Young Master?” Xie asked.

“Tell him?”

Nian Qingyun’s face was aghast. “I am the reason behind all of this. If I tell him, he might even hit me!”

Xie found it funny. “Even if you don’t tell him, at the rate he’s going, Xu Luosang might tell him the truth one day. If he starts investigating the matter and finds out that you’re involved, he might mistakenly think that you were cahoots with Jiang Qifei. Your relationship with your son will really be unsalvageable then. You should tell him before he finds out himself.”

Nian Qingyun frowned. The brat might really do that.

Xie continued, “You might not know this, but Young Master has been out drinking every night ever since Xu Luosang broke up with him. He even stood beneath her apartment in the rain the past couple of nights. He hasn’t even been back at his villa. Although he is still young, he might not hold out if he continues this way. He hasn’t even been going to the company.”
