Chapter 765

"You!" Jiang Fu followed with a helpless laugh.

When Jiang Mu walked out of the kitchen carrying dishes, what she saw was the father and daughter chatting and laughing.

After setting all the dishes on the table, she called out to them, "Come over and eat first."

For the past year or two, Jiang Fu and Jiang Mu had only been eating two meals a day; they skipped dinner, and their lunch was pushed to two o'clock in the afternoon.

It just so happened that Jiang Nannan hadn't eaten much while she was at the hospital.

The three of them had rarely eaten together lately.

Gathering together today, their state of mind was different from before.

While eating, Jiang Mu kept giving Jiang Fu looks, signaling him to bring up the main topic.

Jiang Nannan pretended not to see.

She was mentally prepared.

When the dishes on the table were almost finished, Jiang Fu finally spoke: "Nannan, you have always been smart. When your mother asked you to come back, you probably guessed the reason we wanted you home."

"Mm, I know." Jiang Nannan nodded and put down her chopsticks.

Jiang Mu's eyes turned slightly red; how could she not feel heartache for her own daughter?

"Dad just wants to confirm, have you really made up your mind? That child Huo Jingyan, we have watched him grow up since he was little; he is a good child. The mistake he made is indeed hard to accept for a moment, but I have looked into the cause and effect, and everything was not his intention. Nannan, you have grown up and have your own ideas. Your mother and I should have respected your thoughts and supported you and Jingyan in separating, but..."

"But, at your mother's and my age, we know very well that when one is young, it is very easy to make wrong decisions under impulse; your mother and I are afraid you will regret it." Jiang Fu spoke earnestly.

As a father, the last thing he wanted was to say these things to his daughter.

This was forcing his beloved daughter to grow up overnight.

Fate plays tricks on people; those messy things actually had to happen to Huo Jingyan.

At this moment, among the people who were suffering, one could not ignore Huo Jingyan.

In his eyes, Huo Jingyan was equivalent to his own son.

He wouldn't feel at ease handing Nannan over to anyone else, but he felt at ease handing her to Jingyan; he knew that Jingyan would be good to Nannan for the rest of his life.

Why did fate have to play such a trick, and why did this kind of thing have to happen?

This kind of thing was equivalent to spilling ink on a blank sheet of paper.

It dirtied the pure, flawless paper.

Even if the ink was cleaned off, traces would still remain.

"That's right, Nannan, your father and I are both afraid you will regret it later. That child Jingyan is truly a good child. Your parents-in-law also treat you like a daughter and have never wronged you. If you divorce in a fit of anger like this, it will really affect the feelings between you. Even if you think it through later and remarry, there will still be a knot in each other's hearts, and the relationship will never return to what it was before." Jiang Mu persuaded her with painstaking effort.

These past few days, the more she thought about it, the more she felt she had to let Nannan calm down.

The mistake Jingyan made would indeed make Nannan unable to accept it in the short term, but as time passed—a year, two years, at most two years—these things shouldn't have any impact between the two of them.

After her parents had both finished speaking, Jiang Nannan looked at them and said seriously: "Dad, Mom, I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that I will regret it later, and you are also afraid that after I divorce, Jingyan will be with someone else, and then I will have no way back once I regret it, right?"

"Sigh, we are indeed worried about that point, afraid you will regret it. After all, there aren't many good men in this world." Jiang Fu knew too well what kind of character young men had nowadays.

There were not many good men.

He was truly afraid that his daughter would be bullied by others in the future.

Jiang Mu nodded repeatedly, "Your father and I have the same thought; others really cannot compare to Jingyan."

Jiang Nannan's complexion turned slightly pale, and she felt a sense of powerlessness and helplessness in her heart, "I know Huo Jingyan is very good, but..."
