Chapter 2108: Chapter 2044: Forced Out

Meng Xinian secretly clenched his teeth.

So it’s true.

When Old Meng told him that the Nian Family had his mother’s belongings, he found it extremely suspicious. His mother had once told him that she didn’t trust the Meng Family, nor did she trust the Nian Family.

When the Nian Family was mentioned, Meng Xinian saw a trace of hatred in her eyes.

Why did his mother hate the Nian Family?

His mother was originally a gentle and virtuous woman, rarely losing her temper with anyone, let alone hating them.

Moreover, she had told him something he still remembered clearly.

“Xinian, my child, from now on, you will be alone, with no one to rely on. You must be stronger.”

What kind of mother would say something like that to her child?

Clearly, at that time, he had his father, his grandfather, relatives, yet she told him he’d be alone in the future.

Meaning he had no one to rely on.

Whatever happened, he had to hold on by himself.

She didn’t tell him who he could seek help from when in trouble; there was no one.

If Nian Family was someone she could trust, why didn’t she let him go to the Nian Family?

She didn’t even give him an address to keep in touch by writing letters.

Nothing.

So he didn’t believe one bit that his mother would send anything to the Nian Family.

After much thinking, he remembered Nian Cheng had once mentioned a good sister from her hometown.

This bluff indeed yielded results.

His mother must have sent the items to that good sister.

Unfortunately, that person had passed away many years ago.

He had looked into it before, finding that she had died tragically back then, and her home was raided, leaving nothing behind.

Now, it seemed that the Nian Family had searched her home and found the items.

Discovering what related to him, they had preserved them.

But why didn’t they bring it up all these years until now, what does it mean?

Actually, Old Madam Nian hid her emotions well; most people couldn’t detect the subtle change in her expression, at least Old Meng and Meng Chaojun didn’t notice.

But she didn’t know how sharp Meng Xinian’s eyes were.

So she continued to hide.

“What are you saying? We were your mother’s closest family. It was normal for her not to trust your father or grandfather, so she didn’t send it to our house.”

Her words also stirred Old Meng and Meng Chaojun.

Old Meng couldn’t help saying, “How could Mother Xinian not trust me? I always stood by her back then.”

He couldn’t accept this.

Meng Chaojun’s face darkened, “She didn’t trust me? I concealed things she did back then to preserve her image in front of our son, willing to be misunderstood and resented without ever speaking the truth, and she didn’t trust me? Nian Chengcheng was really something!”

Saying that, memories of Nian Chengcheng’s past look involuntarily surfaced in his mind, making his heart ache.

The more he had loved that woman back then, the more he hated her later.

Yet even so, he never spoke ill of her in front of their son.

He considered himself having done enough justice to Nian Chengcheng as a man.

But now hearing someone say Nian Chengcheng didn’t trust him, he couldn’t help but feel a stabbing pain in his heart.

Once, Meng Chaojun thought he had fallen in love with Duan Qingqing thereafter, but after their divorce, he realized he had never loved Duan Qingqing that much.
