Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 891: I Never Understood Him in the First Place

Di Jinxuan furrowed her brow. "That’s not what I meant."

Nangong Ran also frowned. "Then what do you mean? Are you not just thinking that your brother tormented my third brother, and instead of fighting back, he actually cooperated? Have you ever thought about what good it does him to tear apart his relationship with the future wife’s brother?

Must my third brother and your brother tear each other apart, causing chaos, to prove that he has spirit and backbone? If they tore into each other, wouldn’t you be the one who ends up in a difficult situation? Hmph, but you, you take his concession and tolerance as lacking spirit and backbone."

"I..." Di Jinxuan’s face turned red. "Who said it was because of me?"

Nangong Ran didn’t want to deal with her anymore, so he said, "I remember, one year, right after my third brother had just taken over the family affairs, a group of people bullied him for his young age and deliberately provoked him by capturing my elder brother. And at that time, my parents didn’t care and made my third brother go rescue my elder brother by himself. My third brother went alone and got two of his ribs broken and was shot three times before he rescued my brother. It’s not that he was incompetent in fighting but because he had to save my brother.

A month later, he led a team to strike at this person’s den, not leaving a single one alive. Do you think this shows he has spirit or not? It seems you really don’t understand my third brother at all."

Upon hearing Nangong Ran’s words, Di Jinxuan was stunned; she had truly never heard about these events.

All this time, she had only seen the sunny side of the Nangong family; they seldom mentioned these kinds of things.

Just like this time Nangong Jin got hurt, if she hadn’t contacted Nangong Jin by chance, they probably wouldn’t have mentioned it.

Di Jinxuan’s eyes deepened, and a feeling of discomfort faintly stirred within her. She pouted, "I didn’t understand him to begin with, and I also don’t want to understand him."

Nangong Ran was stunned for a moment and then laughed bitterly.

"Yes, you don’t need to understand him. After all, he isn’t your ’someone.’ Even if he dropped dead tomorrow, it wouldn’t be your concern."

"Yeah," Di Jinxuan nodded, "It really has nothing much to do with me. I don’t like this kind of violent life."

Hearing this, Nangong Ran burst into anger, his temper flaring as he exclaimed, "If we don’t engage in fighting, you say there’s no spirit or backbone; if we do, you say you don’t like it. What exactly do you want?"

Gu Qibao hurriedly restrained her. "Why bring this up? We’re in peacetime, who would want to engage in violence anyway?"

Nangong Ran, still fuming, glared at Di Jinxuan, who said nothing.

Nangong Ran, somewhat irritated, waved his hand dismissively, "Forget it, let’s just go barbecue."

With that, he hurried toward Nangong Jin.

Di Jinxuan frowned, feeling that this situation was inexplicably odd. Did she really have to agree to be with Nangong Jin to make everyone happy?

"Xuanxuan," Gu Qibao pulled Di Jinxuan aside, trying to mend the situation, "Don’t take it to heart, we’re just joking around, you know. If you don’t like Brother Jin, it’s fine. Nangong Ran is just quick-tempered; don’t mind her."

"Yeah." Di Jinxuan nodded, unsure of what else to say.

"What would you like to eat? I’ll go and grill something for you?" Gu Qibao offered with a smile.

"I don’t want to eat; I’m not hungry," Di Jinxuan shook her head and sat down, pulling out her phone to play a game.

Gu Qibao pursed his lips and, not wanting to disturb her any further, sneaked off to join Fang Hao and others eating fruits.

Di Jinxuan played her game but her mind was in turmoil; Nangong Ran’s words echoed in her ears.

She couldn’t help but frown. Did Nangong Jin really have that many injuries?

Almost subconsciously, she glanced over at the barbecue area. Nangong Jin was focused on grilling, and Nangong Ran sat quietly beside him, accompanying him.
