Chapter 1176: A Visit
Jiang Wanjing listened to An Ti's frustrated voice on the phone.
"My dad is a little stubborn, but he actually loves me very much. Before, when my mom complained that I was spending money recklessly, my dad would secretly use his private money to support me and never scolded me. But this time, he actually scolded me for going out to study and losing all my sense of propriety and morality.
He also said that if I was studying just to get married, he should stop studying as soon as possible. When I got home, he would break my legs and support me for the rest of my life to prevent me from embarrassing myself in public. Second brother, my dad sounded really angry. Regarding the engagement..."
"It's okay, leave it to me. Tell me about your family's situation and your home address."
"Address? Why do you want the address?"
"If you want to marry your father's beloved daughter, of course you have to show sincerity. Since they don't trust me and are unwilling to come, then I will go."
"No, no, no," An Ti was worried that her father would say something unpleasant and hurt her second brother, so she hurriedly said, "Give me some time, I'll persuade him again."
"No, just listen to me, I can impress them, just follow my instructions and tell me the situation and address of your home."
Seeing that he insisted, An Ti finally told him the address.
Jiang Wanjing did not tell her when she would visit her parents, so she planned to talk to her parents before Jiang Wanjing took any action.
The next day, she tried to call her father, but her father did not answer. Her mother did answer, but she only said that her father said that if she mentioned anything about engagement again, there would be no need to contact them in the future. From her
parents' attitude, she could already imagine how much grievance her second brother would suffer.
She stopped her mother from hanging up the phone and said loudly, "Mom, something happened to me the day before yesterday."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and her mother immediately asked, "What happened to you?"
"I didn't know that the entertainment industry was so dirty. A few months ago, a big boss in the industry took a fancy to me and asked me to accompany them for dinner and to be with him. I refused and was almost bullied. At that time, it was Jiang Wanjing who saved me.
Because the Jiang family is very powerful in Beijing, the other party did not dare to go against him, so I escaped. He even took care of me and let me sign with their film and television company together with Xingxing. I have always been well protected.
Until the day before yesterday, my other roommate Wen Ling, you know, she invited all the girls in our class to attend her birthday party. We didn't know that she was the lover of another big boss in the industry and helped that big boss find a new lover. That big boss took a fancy to me, and they drugged me."
On the other end of the phone, An's mother's hand holding the phone became nervous: "Did that person bully you?"
"I almost climbed to the window and was about to jump off the building. Jiang Wanjing found me in time. He sent the big guy who bullied me to prison and protected me."
The mother frowned: "How dare you jump off the building?"
"I didn't know what to do in that situation. I didn't want to be bullied..." An Ti said and started crying: "I was scared to death at that time, but I was poisoned by that unclean medicine. If I didn't die, I would fall on the other party. What could I do?"
The mother's eyes were red with heartache: "Thank God, this young man named Jiang Wanjing... is indeed worthy of our gratitude, but there is no need to get married, try another way..."
"Mom, the medicine that the boss gave me is a kind of medicine that no hospital can cure. The doctor is also powerless to do anything, so... Jiang Wanjing and I..."
The mother on the other end of the phone was an experienced person, so she naturally knew what this meant.
She was silent for a long time before she said, "Although he helped you, you've also suffered a loss in this matter, so as long as you don't want to, you don't have to..."
"But I do," An Ti interrupted her mother, "Second brother and his family are very nice. You'll know once you meet them. You...even just meet them once, or, if you meet, you and dad shouldn't say bad things to hurt him, okay?"
An's mother sighed, "Okay, I get it. I'll have a good talk with your father about this."
"Thank you, Mom."
After hanging up the phone, An's mother turned to look at An's father, who had been eavesdropping with his ear on the phone since just now.
Father An knew that his daughter had to bear so much by herself, and his eyes were red: "Xiao Ti is too beautiful. It's not safe for us to send her out alone. We shouldn't let her enter this industry."
"At that time, I just heard that this industry relies on appearance and has a better future development prospect. How could I have thought of this? It's too late to regret it now."
Both of them were silent for a long time, and suddenly there was a knock at the door.
Mother An got up and walked over to open the door.
There were three people standing at the door, one of them was a woman who looked only in her early thirties, with an extremely beautiful appearance, and a beauty that was not offensive at all. The first impression she gave people was that she was easy-going.
On her left stood a man who was older than her. He was tall and sturdy, with a righteous face. He was wearing a military uniform, with pine-green epaulettes on his shoulders, decorated with golden leaves and two golden stars. She had only heard of a few bars and a few stars, but had never heard of this kind of epaulette.
On the woman's right stood a young and handsome man with a slightly serious look. He looked familiar. The man was also wearing a military uniform, with a bar and three stars on his shoulders. He looked very good, just like the woman next to him, but the seriousness of his facial features was a bit like a man's.
She looked at him carefully for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this young man looked like the actor who played the leading male role in a popular TV series some time ago.
As she was thinking, the woman took the initiative to reach out her hand and said gently: "Hello, my name is Mingzhu, this is my husband Jiang Duo, this is my son Jiang Wanjing, our family of three is really sorry for coming to visit suddenly in the evening, but we are really urgent right now, because we really like An An, and want An An and my Jiang Wanjing to be together, so we came to seek your consent."
An's mother looked at the three people in surprise, and her eyes fell on Mingzhu's face. This is a... mother? She doesn't look older than her son, and feels at least ten years younger than her.
How did she maintain this?
Jiang Wanjing saluted to An's mother's surprise, "Hello, Auntie. It's a bit rude to meet you for the first time. I wonder if it's convenient for us to come in and sit for a while?"
An's mother subconsciously took a step back, made an inviting gesture, and shouted to the house, "Old An, the Xiao Jiang that Xiao Ti mentioned is here with his parents."
On the sofa in the living room, An's father, who was originally dignified because of his distress for his daughter, turned around and saw two men in military uniforms, with a bit of shock in his eyes.
An Ti didn't say that Xiao Jiang was a soldier.
When he was young, he wanted to join the army. He finally got a place, but he was delayed because he broke his leg while chasing a horse-drawn carriage.
But he always had a filter for the military profession and admired soldiers the most.
