"Chen Fan was not a man who cared about the opinions of outsiders, nor was he one to indulge in gossip.
As for Aunt Tian's past, Chen Fan had been curious, but...given his disposition, he would never take the initiative to ask.
The reason he was asking Tian Cao now was because he believed that Aunt Tian's past had an immeasurable impact on Tian Cao, which directly shaped his values about life.
The law of the jungle.
That was Tian Cao's most intrinsic value.
In Chen Fan's eyes, there was nothing wrong with this value. However, if one becomes too obsessed with it, it can lead to losing one's way, spiralling into extremism, which wouldn't be good for Tian Cao's future.
After all, life is vibrant and colourful, with rules like survival of the fittest, but also filled with many unseen, intangible bonds of family, friendship, and love.
"Snap!"
In the dim light, Chen Fan did not rush Tian Cao to speak. Instead, he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
