After listening to i Shu’s words, Sheng Nian fell into deep thought.

No matter how naive she was, she should have realized that Sheng Quan did have a secret, and it was very likely that it was even kept from her mother.

She could already foresee that this secret would probably not be glorious.

But as a child, should she really unearth all those things buried in her father’s heart about the past?

What would be the benefit for her?

Furthermore, this matter might not even be related to her mother’s death.

“You can choose to continue pretending you know nothing,” i Shu saw through her hesitation and said without surprise, “but I won’t give up any leads. 1 will continue to investigate and uncover the truth from back then.”

“But what if this has nothing to do with it at all?” Sheng Nian roared desperately at her.

i Shu had run out of patience with her repeated evasions, and just as she was about to get up and leave, she unexpectedly heard a low sob.

Her intention to leave was suddenly extinguished by an invisible force.

i Shu sighed and leaned back against the headboard. She looked at Sheng Nian helplessly. “What’s there to cry about? If this has nothing to do with the accident back then, 1 definitely won’t say a word.”

“It’s not about that!” Sheng Nian grumbled with a slightly nasal tone. Then, she turned her body completely, keeping her back to i Shu.

i Shu patiently reached out and patted her shoulder. “Then what is it about?” “Why do you have to keep digging into my father like this?” Sheng Nian complained, her voice filled with grievances. “Before you ca into our lives, our family was happy. But now that I know the truth about my husband’s infidelity and am about to face my father’s secrets. Don’t you think this is a bit too cruel for ?”

Sheng Nian vented her frustration to i Shu, feeling utterly wronged.

i Shu silently withdrew her hand that had been comforting Sheng Nian’s back, and she looked at her with her deep, unreadable eyes.

Sensing that the person next to her was acting strangely, Sheng Nian finally stopped crying and turned her head to look at the silent i Shu. “Did 1 say sothing wrong?”

“You didn’t say anything wrong,” i Shu gently shook her head. “Whether it’s Lu Ming’s situation or your parents’ situation, you are indeed the most innocent victim in all of this. You can complain, and no one will bla you for it.”

Sheng Nian lowered her gaze, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

“But,” i Shu continued, “if I hadn’t told you about Lu Ming’s affair, would you be willing to continue living with such a deceitful man? Would you be content with being deceived by your husband just for the sake of maintaining your so-called happiness?”

“I…” Sheng Nian hesitated, bowing her head.

“Likewise,” i Shu said, “your father’s situation is no different. Knowing more doesn’t necessarily an unhappiness. What if the past has already beco history and has nothing to do with your mother’s death? I can understand that you don’t want everything you have to disappear, but you’ve already had doubts. Don’t you want to prove your father’s innocence?”

“If that photo represents a past event, what’s there to be afraid of?”

With that, i Shu’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Or is it that you’d rather remain in ignorance, even if you suspect you’re being deceived? You’d rather imrse yourself in the lies woven by others, only for your own false happiness?”

“It’s not like that!” Sheng Nian hurriedly defended herself. “I haven’t blad you for Lu Ming’s situation. In fact, I’m grateful to you. But Lu Ming and my father are fundantally different to . How can Lu Ming be compared to my father?”

“So what? Just because it’s about your father, you’re unwilling to dig deeper, even if it may be related to your mother’s death? Do you think that’s fair to your mother?”

i Shu’s words shocked Sheng Nian, who stared blankly at the bracelet on her wrist.

It was a gift from her mother to celebrate her only baby’s birthday.

“You have the right to seek the truth for your mother, who has already passed away,” i Shu added.

i Shu could tell that she was hesitating between the two choices and continued. “Besides, soone is already threatening your father with so secrets you don’t know. You have a greater obligation to find out everything.”

Sheng Nian lifted her head, her eyes that were once hesitant had now beco resolute. “Okay, I agree to let you continue investigating, and I won’t obstruct any of your actions. But you must promise that anything you find won’t harm the interests of the Sheng family.”

“Okay, I promise,” i Shu readily agreed.

Sheng Nian continued, “If you find out that this has nothing to do with the accident back then, you must imdiately abandon the investigation and not disclose anything you’ve discovered to anyone else!”

“No problem, Miss Sheng. From now on, we are allies,” i Shu said with a triumphant smile. Before Sheng Nian could change her mind, she buried herself under the blanket. “Alright, let’s go to sleep. Goodnight, Miss..”
