Chapter 859: No room for maneuver
Ji Qingming probably didn't expect Xu Hui to say such brazen words from such a tricky angle.
He was so angry that he didn't know what to say to put down her anger without losing his composure.
The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds before Xu Hui heard Ji Qingming speak: "So, you are so determined to be with him that you don't even care about the future of your brother and sister?"
Xu Hui froze, his eyes wavering slightly, "What do you mean by that?"
Ji Qingming: "Go back and think about it carefully for your family."
Xu Hui's voice was clearly filled with ruthlessness. "My brother and sister have always been willing to endure hardships since they were young. They passed the entrance exams based on their own abilities. You are the Minister, are you planning to manipulate things behind the scenes?"
Ji Qingming just looked at her indifferently, like a tiger with a slightly ferocious look looking at an ant. The key point is that the ant doesn't know yet, and he has a hundred ways to deal with it.
The anger in Xu Hui's body just rushed to the top of his head, but was suppressed by a great fear, and the calmness on his face was no longer there.
Only at this moment did she realize her previous ignorance and fearlessness, blaming herself for mistaking him for an incompetent father who betrayed his wife and children. She despised him in her heart, but forgot that the man who could sit in this position was essentially no different from a jackal, tiger or leopard.
He was able to send her, an ordinary person who had not even graduated from high school, to a prestigious university. Of course, he could also completely block her younger brothers and sisters' paths to study without any effort.
The choice before her was simple: the future of her younger siblings or Ji Chuan.
Xu Hui slowly broke out in a cold sweat. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Ji Qingming, her tone very calm: "Do you think I can't wait to marry Ji Chuan, so that I can get rich and change the fate of our whole family? If that's your concern, you can rest assured. I have never thought about marrying him. For someone like me, being able to have a relationship with him is already a jackpot."
She paused slightly, lowered her throat, and continued, "But it's probably difficult for us to separate now. I hope you can allow me to stay with him for a while. If one day we have a fight, or he falls in love with another girl, I will leave him without a second thought. I can guarantee the future of my younger brother and sister that I won't get entangled with him."
Xu Hui felt sour in her heart. It was not that she had not thought about being with him for a long time, but there were many things in the world that did not go as one wished, and hers was not one of them.
She could accept breaking up with Ji Chuan, she just couldn't bear to see him suffer.
Ji Qingming looked up at her for a long while, and their eyes met again. Xu Hui's eyes were full of hope and her face was calm. Every word she said was from the truth and could withstand any scrutiny.
Ji Qingming said coldly: "You may still not understand. There is no room for maneuver now."
Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, as if a knife was stabbed into her heart. She had already made concessions, she could not get married, she could break up, but why did he insist on pushing her to the edge of the cliff?
Her throat was sore, and she managed to speak: "Can I think about it?"
Ji Qingming: "As soon as possible."
Xu Hui walked out of the courtyard in a daze. After a few seconds of pause, she immediately took out her cell phone and called Xu Yan.
"Sister, you don't have classes?"
Xu Hui tried his best to suppress his impatience and asked, "Have you been doing well recently?"
Xu Yan: "It's okay, but I was a little unlucky. The national award that was about to be awarded was gone."
Xu Hui's heart tightened: "Why is it gone?"
Xu Yan: "I don't know. In terms of grades alone, I'm number one in the whole college. My advisor said I'd have no problem getting a national award, but later told me that my overall score was a little short."
