That's enough.
Ling Qingyue could no longer bear it. He forcibly pulled Jiang Tian behind him, and remembering the doctor's instructions, he tried his best to keep his emotions stable.
He stared at his father: "Why do you have to judge others by your own standards? My relationship with Jiang Tian is just a normal one, unlike yours. I will not be like you, not taking people's feelings seriously."
The old man chuckled dismissively: "Fine, since you say you're dating, then Jiang Tian, let me ask you, if I told you that if you don't break up with Ling Qingyue, you'll be expelled, what would you choose?"
Ling Qingyue's pupils dilated slightly.
He subconsciously turned around to look at Jiang Tian.
He knew how hard Jiang Tian worked; she genuinely loved this industry and, even more so, the joy of achieving success in her career.
She has walked for so many years to reach her current height.
Is it going to be destroyed by him?
At this moment, Ling Qingyue suddenly understood the old man's intention.
On the surface, this multiple-choice question was posed to Jiang Tian, but in reality, it also included him.
If he truly cared about Jiang Tian, he shouldn't have hindered her future.
He cannot be a stumbling block on her path in life.
Ling Qingyue had thought it through. Ignoring the old man, she gave Jiang Tian a smile that was more like a grimace: "You... break up with me."
But before he could say anything, Jiang Tian grabbed his hand.
“Chairman, I am a normal person. I love my career and respect you. But threatening to fire me to break up with you will not make me back down.”
"Ling Qingyue and I like each other; it's normal attraction between a man and a woman."
"If you're going to fire me just because I had a normal relationship, then I'll have no choice but to leave the company."
Jiang Tian's expression remained as calm as ever.
But what she gave up was the best platform in the industry, the group she had always worked for and which brought her a sense of honor.
Ling Qingyue felt dizzy. He hadn't expected that Jiang Tian would give up her job for him.
It was precisely because Ling Qingyue knew her temperament so well that she decided to withdraw voluntarily.
But Jiang Tian actually chose him.
How much must he love her to deserve her devotion to him...?
Ling Qingyue was almost overwhelmed by happiness and emotion.
The old man sitting on the hospital bed wasn't so happy.
Jiang Tian's answer left him silent for a long time.
“Ling Qingyue is not someone you can entrust your life to. He has a bad temper, is young, has an unstable temperament, and hasn’t even been through many trials. He is not a suitable spouse. It’s not worth it for you to give up your career for him. I’m not dead yet, and nobody knows how my estate will be divided.”
The old man's tone was very cold.
But even now, he still believes that Jiang Tian wants to make a fortune through Ling Qingyue and marry into a wealthy family.
“If you insist on thinking of me in that direction, then I must tell you, Ling Qingyue is not that bad. I am a completely independent person with my own personality. If he does not meet my requirements for a partner in the future, I will get away as soon as possible.”
Ling Qingyue listened to this from the side, feeling uneasy.
He had to admit that the old man was right about some things.
Jiang Tian's words brought him an even deeper sense of crisis.
Seeing that he couldn't reason with Jiang Tian, the old man turned to Ling Qingyue again: "If you're with her, I won't give you a single penny of your inheritance. I won't accept my subordinate being involved with my son. Have you thought this through?"
“I don’t care about your money. I’ve always been the one who’s benefiting from being with Jiang Tian. She’s willing to give up her job and career for me. If I can’t even let go of a little bit of wealth, then what right do I have to be her boyfriend?”
Ling Qingyue sneered: "You have so many children, you should give them to them. They are so pitiful. They are destined to live in the shadows from birth. Giving them some money to compensate them is doing a good deed."
The old man coughed, his voice heavy yet firm: "Fine, since you two insist on being together, then I will grant your wish."
…………
The two of them came out of the hospital, and neither of them spoke for a moment.
Jiang Tian lost her career, and Ling Qingyue lost his status as a young master. This was the price they paid for their relationship.
They didn't say anything, but they also didn't let go of each other's hands.
After waiting for a long time, Ling Qingyue cleared her throat, still wanting to say something.
He felt a strong sense of guilt, but Jiang Tian was a woman of her word. Since she had chosen him, Ling Qingyue wouldn't try to persuade her otherwise.
He's not that bad; he'll give her what she wants.
"Um..." Ling Qingyue had only uttered two words when her stomach rumbled.
Jiang Tian looked at him: "Are you hungry?"
"Uh... um..."
They went to a noodle shop and quietly finished their meal.
"The chairman has stopped the card that covers your expenses, and I've lost my job too. He sent me a message saying that someone will come to take over the apartment we're currently living in tomorrow, so young master, we might have to sleep on the streets tomorrow."
Jiang Tian notified Ling Qingyue right after finishing her meal.
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingyue became anxious: "Why is he doing this so quickly?"
Jiang Tian looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
Ling Qingyue was taken aback, let out a heavy sigh, and then pulled Jiang Tian close, letting her lean on his shoulder.
"Sister, I'm so sorry."
Jiang Tian replied calmly, "Good to know."
Ling Qingyue licked her lips, considered it carefully, and cautiously probed, "There's something I've been keeping from you. If I tell you, I hope you won't be angry."
Jiang Tian looked up: "What is it?"
"It's the club where I coached, it's mine... I don't know how many hundreds of millions it's worth right now, but it should have made some money over the years."
