It had been a while since she last stayed there, but the place was regularly cleaned. Zion and Julia were grateful people, despite knowing that their marriage was over, they still made Nina thank Nash. Nash sat in the living room. Nina poured him a glass of water, "My parents said to thank you."

"No need to be polite."

Nina sat beside him and teased, "I couldn't make them believe me no matter how hard I tried, but a few words from you and they believed. Am I just weak? Why do they believe you instead of me?" She couldn't understand. Even though she could handle it herself, in the end, it was Nash who resolved it. Nash sipped his glass of warm water, his expression unchanged as Nina spoke.

He responded casually, "You need to understand one thing: human nature is ugly, especially among your relatives. They magnify your flaws while turning a blind eye to your strengths. Don't sympathize with those who deserve none. The more people dislike you, the more miserable their lives tend to be. It's not worth your consideration."

He looked at Nina and chuckled, "It's not just you; it's the same for me. You're just in the spotlight now. If you encountered those distant relatives of mine, you'd see they're scarier than wild beasts." Nina pondered, "Is that so?"

"Yes."

Nina was not paying much attention, so she did not understand what Nash meant by "scarier than wild beasts." In her hometown, funeral customs typically spanned three days. Relatives, neighbors, and friends would gather to share meals. Concerned about Nash's comfort, Nina asked during lunchtime, "The meal is in the gathering area. Would you like to come and meet my relatives?"
