He Nana was somewhat shocked, and blurted out, "Why?!"
Bai Chuwei had intended to explain, but then she simply smiled again.
Why bother?
He Nana was no Tang Ke; Tang Ke was an ignorant illegitimate child to whom she could give opportunities over and over and provide explanations.
But He Nana knew very well her own identity and understood that she was a venerable ancestor who had sheltered the eight great noble families for hundreds of years, and she had been the next Family Head of the He Family since she was a child on Yunwu Mountain.
With that being the case, it made no sense for the old ancestor to give a detailed explanation.
The ancestor never begged others to believe.
Believe if you will; if not, just get out.
If He Nana had chosen to believe early on that she and Chen Jun had broken up, the ancestor might feel generous enough to explain it to her later, and that would be fine.
Alas, the order of events was not right.
Bai Chuwei stroked her chin and sighed internally.
