Volume 1, Chapter 144: Quarrel and Hunger Strike
Jing Ying was very happy at the dinner table because she felt that she would be able to marry Chi Yan soon. She was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of dinner.
At the dinner table, Jing Xiong and Shu Jinhua looked at Jing Ying, who was smiling. They looked at each other and sighed softly.
As if noticing something strange about the two, Jingying put down her chopsticks.
"Mom, have you told Dad about my situation?" Jing Ying asked in a very cheerful tone after putting down her chopsticks.
Hearing Jingying's words, Shu Jinhua's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and when he raised his head, he met Jingying's expectant eyes.
Feeling a little guilty, Shu Jinhua shook his hand and the chopsticks fell directly onto the table.
Seeing her mother losing control of herself, Jing Ying was very confused.
Jing Xiong just glanced at Shu Jinhua indifferently, and then his eyes fell on Jing Ying.
"Your mother has discussed this matter with me."
"Your mother and I simply disagree," Jingxiong looked at Jingying and spoke calmly.
Jingying's smiling face suddenly darkened because of Jingxiong's words.
"Dad, why?" Jingying tightened her grip on the chopsticks and looked at Jingxiong with displeasure in her eyes.
In response to Jingying's questioning, Jingxiong simply picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly. Only after he had swallowed the food completely did Jingxiong raise his head and look at his precious daughter.
Jing Ying had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Seeing her father looking at her like this, she bit her lip gently.
"Have you considered the consequences of marrying Chi Yan?" Jing Xiong looked at Jing Ying and spoke seriously.
As soon as Jingxiong finished speaking, Jingying nodded eagerly.
"Yes, Dad. I have considered the consequences!" Jing Ying's words were full of determination.
Seeing Jing Ying say this, Shu Jinhua's face suddenly turned pale, and his heart choked. Jing Xiong's face was not much better, and he was very gloomy.
"Even though he already has a illegitimate child?"
"Even if the person he loves in his heart is not you?"
"Even if he's surrounded by a bunch of other women?"
Jingxiong gritted his teeth and said word by word
"Even if you are ridiculed and unhappy after marriage, you still want to marry him?" Jingxiong almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Every time Jingxiong said something, Jingying's face turned paler. By the time Jingxiong finished speaking, Jingying's face was so pale that she couldn't stand it anymore. Her body couldn't help shaking.
Shu Jinhua felt distressed seeing her precious daughter like this, but she also felt that Jingxiong was right, and she had to let Jingying give up on her own!
Jingxiong's words made Jingying very sad, but she didn't want to give up on Chi Yan, so Jingying stood up by holding the table.
"Dad, I've thought about what you said."
"I don't care about anything. I just want to marry Chi Yan. I really love him!" Jing Ying looked at Jing Xiong and said firmly.
Although she knew that there were many people between her and Chi Yan, including Liu Ruyan and her son, Jing Mo, and those women, she just wanted to be with Chi Yan. She believed that as long as she worked hard, Chi Yan would definitely win her heart, and Chi Yan would definitely fall in love with her!
Thinking of this, Jingying's eyes became more determined.
"Dad, I have confidence! Chi Yan and I will definitely be happy!" Jing Ying gritted her teeth and said firmly
Hearing Jing Ying's words, Shu Jinhua felt suffocated, but Jing Xiong couldn't bear it any longer. He threw his chopsticks and stood up angrily.
"You are the daughter of the Jing family. You can find any good man you want. Why do you want to marry Chi Yan?" Jing Xiong pointed at Jing Ying and shouted angrily.
If Jingying had seen Jingxiong like this before, she would have been scared to death, but this time Jingying was not afraid at all. She gritted her teeth and looked at Jingxiong.
"But those people are not Chi Yan, I don't love them!" Jing Ying shouted unwillingly
Jingying's words made Jingxiong feel dizzy, his blood kept surging, and his body was shaking. Seeing Jingxiong like this, Shu Jinhua hurried forward to support Jingxiong.
"Yingying, just be obedient. Your father will arrange a good marriage for you. Just don't think about the late banquet, okay?" Shu Jinhua looked at Jingying pleadingly.
But Jingying refused to compromise and got angry.
"I don't care! I'm going to marry Chi Yan!"
"If I can't marry Chi Yan in this life, then I'd rather not get married!" Jing Ying said this with great excitement, her pretty face almost twisted.
Jing Ying's words made Jing Xiong and Shu Jinhua look pale, especially Jing Xiong, whose face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, while Shu Jinhua looked heartbroken.
"You're just going to argue with us, right?" Jing Xiong angrily threw a plate of food on the ground.
The porcelain plate made a crisp sound on the ground, and the servants of the Jing family were immediately startled. They looked at Jing Xiong and others nervously, fearing that the fire would burn them.
Seeing Jingxiong so angry, Shu Jinhua hurried forward to help Jingxiong calm down, fearing that he would get angry. After all, now she and Jingying only have Jingxiong to rely on.
Jingying looked at her furious father and bit her lip, staring at Jingxiong unwillingly, as if she didn't want to back down.
Seeing Jing Ying like this, Jing Xiong felt a dull pain in his chest.
"I don't care, I'm going to marry Chi Yan!"
"Otherwise I'd rather starve to death!" Jing Ying knew that there would be no result if she continued to talk. She yelled at Jing Xiong and Shu Jinhua and turned around and ran upstairs.
Watching Jing Ying leave, Jing Xiong sat down, holding his chest. Seeing this, Shu Jinhua hurriedly calmed him down.
"What's so good about Chi Yan? Yingying is so confused!" Jingxiong took a few breaths and slammed the table hard.
Shu Jinhua was also helpless at this time
She originally thought Jing Ying would listen to Jing Xiong and give up the idea of marrying Chi Yan.
result? Now it seems that Jingying has made up her mind!
"What should we do now?" Shu Jinhua looked at Jing Xiong worriedly.
Jingxiong looked sharply in the direction of the stairs.
"Yingying is still too willful. It's time for her to control her temper. Otherwise, how can she be the mistress of another wealthy family in the future?" Jingxiong had calmed down by now. He took a sip of hot tea and spoke lightly.
Hearing Jing Xiong's words, Shu Jinhua felt something was wrong. After all, Jing Ying had just said that she would not eat if she disagreed.
However, Shu Jinhua still knew what was important. After all, this was a lifelong event. She didn't want Jingying to waste her time and feelings on Chi Yan.
Even if they thought Chi Yan was perfect in the beginning, things are different now, aren't they? There are too many uncertainties, and they dare not gamble with Jingying's lifelong happiness.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Shu Jinhua nodded.
Shu Jinhua chose to let her precious daughter suffer for a while or suffer for a lifetime.
"Just listen to me on this matter, you are not allowed to plead for her." Jing Xiong glanced at Shu Jinhua, with a strong warning in his eyes.
Shu Jinhua could only smile bitterly and nod. What else could she say now?
The news of the incident at the Jing family that night soon reached Jing Mo's ears.
Not long ago, Jing Mo bribed the servants of the Jing family to report any disturbances to her.
So, the servant of the Jing family immediately reported what happened tonight to Jing Mo.
Jing Mo curled his lips after reading the message sent by the Jing family's servant. He didn't expect Jing Ying to still not give up on Chi Yan. After all, Chi Yan is now a real rotten cucumber.
And Jingying not only did not avoid him but also wanted to marry him. Wow, it seems that Jingying really loves Chi Yan!
Jing Mo narrowed his eyes. The days ahead would become more and more interesting!
